Index finger and ring finger ratio (2D:4D) and it\'s correlation with Hypertension and it\'s affects for possibility factors in cardiovascular diseases in North Indian female population
Authors: Kumar Sunil , Ali Sadakat 
Published: July 2024

Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and is a growing concern globally. The 2nd to 4th digit ratio (2D:4D), determined by the relative length of the index and ring fingers, has been linked to prenatal testosterone exposure and potentially cardiovascular health. This study investigates the correlation between 2D:4D ratio and hypertension in a North Indian female population, exploring its potential role as a risk factor for CVDs. A cross-sectional study will be conducted among North Indian females. Participants will be recruited through community outreach and healthcare facilities. Data collection will involve: 1. Demographic information; 2. Blood pressure measurement to identify hypertensive and normotensive individuals; 3. Measurement of the 2nd and 4th finger lengths on both hands to calculate the 2D:4D ratio. The study is expected to reveal a correlation between 2D:4D ratio and hypertension prevalence in the North Indian female population. We hypothesize that females with a lower 2D:4D ratio (indicating higher prenatal testosterone exposure) might exhibit a higher prevalence of hypertension. This finding could suggest a potential association between prenatal hormonal influences and increased risk of CVDs in later life. This study design is cross-sectional, and causality cannot be established. Further longitudinal studies would be needed to explore the cause-and-effect relationship between 2D:4D ratio, hypertension, and CVD development.

Published: July 2024

: Gantzer muscles are variants in forearm. They may cause compressive neuropathy affecting median or anterior interroseous nerve (Kiloh Nevin syndrome). Dual origin of Gantzer muscle forms tunnel which includes median nerve, this report reveals unique anatomical scenario where Gantzer muscle may compress and entrap median nerve.: Present study reported dual origin of gantzer muscles in right forearm. It was pierced by median nerve and brachial artery. Two anterior interroseous artery emerged from common interroseous artery. Later, both anterior interroseous artery anastomosed with posterior interroseous artery.: This variation is clinically significant since symptoms of median nerve compression caused by comparable changes are sometimes mistaken with symptoms caused by more prevalent causes like radiculopathy, carpal tunnel syndrome.: Noticed variation is particularly beneficial to hand surgeons since this unusual muscle serves as anatomical reference for procedures in this region. The safety and effectiveness of surgery are improved by knowledge of nerve variations. To the best of our knowledge, this variant has not been mentioned in current medical literature.

Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT
To further investigate the synergistic effects of Fe (Ⅲ) and graphene derivatives with varying degrees of oxidation for photocatalysis, commercial titanium dioxide nanoparticles and graphene oxide were employed as precursors to synthesize the catalyst in this study. Graphene oxygenated derivatives and Fe (Ⅲ)-modified titanium dioxide photocatalysts with different oxidation degrees were prepared using a simple one-step solvothermal method. The results demonstrated that the photocatalytic performance in degrading rhodamine B and sulfamethoxazole was enhanced with an increase in the oxidation degrees of graphene materials. Through the combined action of delocalized conjugated π electrons as electron transfer mediators, Fe (Ⅲ) as an electron trap, and photosensitization reactions, titanium dioxide exhibited exceptional photocatalytic properties with the assistance of graphene derivatives and Fe (Ⅲ) co-catalysts in the degradation of organic compounds.
Formation of meandering streams in a young floodplain within the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon area in the Tibetan Plateau

Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT

A recent discovery of two unique meandering streams near the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon facilitates the present study. Given the contrasting channel patterns compared with the surrounding bedrock and braided reaches, as well as their recent formation due to dam-induced topographic changes within the valley, this study offers critical insights into the formation and evolution processes of meandering channels. It is found that, first, the prolonged sedimentation process due to the backwater of the mainstream of the floodplain proves a material base for the formation of the meandering river. Proper bank strength provided by the floodplain (stratified layer of root-soil composite and silty clay) contrasts the stream from a braided pattern into a single-threaded pattern, then the alternate bar in the upstream preludes the meandering channel formation. The annual migration rate of the stream is consistent with other large-scale natural meandering rivers. Congruences and disparities with the analytical meandering migration model of the present stream (that the meandering path follows the Kinoshita curve with noticeable flatness but no skewness) highlight the complex interplay of local factors in shaping meandering processes, offering valuable insights into both the unique characteristics of the Cuoka streams and the broader principles governing meander formation.

Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT

Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6 aims to achieve ‘access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for all and end open defaecation’ by 2030. We present an in-depth investigation of sanitation and hygiene practices of 939 Malawian households in two districts, previously declared open defaecation-free (ODF). We evaluated whether ODF status was maintained by evaluating access to sanitation and hygiene. We found that 17% returned to open defaecation, and faeces were observed around 10% of the households. We suggest that ODF status is not enough; work is required to maintain progress and consideration of construction quality is critical. Another barrier to SDG 6.2 was that only 7.9% of households had handwashing facilities with soap and water, with soap as a major limitation. However, most households (82%) had soap available for washing suggesting that soap is not being prioritised in handwashing.

ABSTRACT

In this study, an extensive and methodical investigation was carried out to comprehend the different geochemical processes, factors governing the hydrochemical composition and water suitability for drinking, irrigation and industrial usage in the Periyar River Basin (PRB). A total of 300 samples were collected from the mainstream, tributaries and dams of the river during PREM (Pre-Monsoon), POM (Post Monsoon), NEM (North-East Monsoon) and SWM (South-West Monsoon). The results suggested that the cationic composition is chiefly characterized by the predominant presence of Ca2+ and Mg2+ while Cl− dominates the anionic composition followed by HCO3-. The results identified transitional waters. Gibb's diagram revealed that the ionic composition dominance in the study area is influenced by the chemistry of the host rock rather than precipitation and evaporation. A comparatively greater pCO2 (&gt;10−3.5 atm) shows an atmospheric disequilibrium in natural waterbodies due to both anthropogenic activities and input of baseflow to stream discharge. The Water Quality Index showed excellent (0–25) to unsuitable (&gt;300) category during NEM, POM and PREM with significant spatial variation along the river. Integrated irrigational suitability indices illustrated the suitability of the samples for agricultural use, except for a few samples in the lowland region.

ABSTRACT

Tropical cyclones (TCs) contribute significantly to rainfall along Vietnam's coast, yet their complex precipitation structures remain poorly resolved, hindering forecast skill. This study analyzes TC rainfall distributions over the Vietnam East Sea from 2000 to 2020. The Global Satellite Mapping of Precipitation (GSMaP) product provides precipitation estimates with 0.1° resolution at hourly intervals, enabling detailed structural characterization. Rainfall features are analyzed across TC intensities, motion vectors, landfall locations, and interactions with cold surge (CS) air masses. Results show that total coverage differences are less significant than the intensity variations in narrow inner core rainbands. Asymmetric rainfall distributions concentrate in the front-right quadrant but shift after landfall. Northern Vietnam observes higher TC frequencies, but southern regions experience heavier extreme rains. Additionally, CS intrusions substantially intensify eyewall convection and redirect TC precipitation. These structural sensitivities visible in GSMaP observations elucidate the dynamics modulating TC rainfall. Characterizing multi-scale interactions and precipitation processes aids in forecasting and impact assessment for these high-risk storms with complex regional behavior.

ABSTRACT

Mangrove-inhabited coastal areas are seriously threatened by climate change that disturbs the sustenance of dependent native communities. This study assesses the status of climate variables to identify and evaluate climate change–induced vulnerabilities to fishers and recommend mitigation measures at a regional scale in the Pichavaram Mangroves, a Ramsar wetland of international importance in India. The time series climate data (1951–2021) revealed an insignificant increase in annual rainfall (p&gt; 0.05) and a significant increasing trend (p&lt; 0.05) for mean annual temperature. The results of the stakeholder-based approach (n = 240) indicate that mangrove dwellers experience ecological and health-based vulnerabilities and estuarine fishers face community and nutritional issues. Fishers of this wetland are prone to resources (60.5) and user-based vulnerabilities (59.03). The overall vulnerability index places fishers of the mangrove/estuary (T.S.Pettai: 54.13; Killai: 53.04; Pichavaram: 52.91) more vulnerable than the marine region (Mudasalodai: 49.84). This study suggests social networking, skill development, awareness of welfare schemes, ecotourism, sustainable fishing, climate research for developing mitigation strategies, and fisheries enhancement to combat climate change impacts. Furthermore, building resilience among the stakeholders and resource management through a citizen science approach is crucial to lessen climate change vulnerability in coastal wetlands in India, and elsewhere.
Rising groundwater levels in Dare County, North Carolina: implications for onsite wastewater management for coastal communities
Authors: O'Driscoll Michael , Humphrey Charles , Iverson Guy , Bowden Jared , Harrison Jane 
Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT

Onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTS) are a common wastewater treatment approach in coastal communities. Vertical separation distance (VSD) requirements between the drainfield and groundwater aim to ensure aerated soils for wastewater treatment. When the VSD declines, OWTS can fail. This study evaluated groundwater response to sea level rise (SLR) and the implications for OWTS. A groundwater monitoring network (13 wells) was used to evaluate groundwater depth in Dare County, North Carolina. Groundwater levels were measured with water level meters and pressure transducers. Trends in groundwater depth and SLR were analyzed to evaluate the influence of SLR on groundwater depth. From 1984–2022, mean groundwater levels have risen (∼7.6 mm/year) in response to SLR. Currently, sites at &lt;2.7 m land elevation are most likely to have groundwater depths &lt;1 m and inadequate VSD. Based on current precipitation and NOAA intermediate SLR projections, groundwater depth projections suggest that OWTS at lower elevations are more likely to experience groundwater inundation by 2040–2060. SLR has resulted in reduced VSD causing diminished wastewater treatment capacity in low-lying areas. OWTS VSD requirements are typically static due to regulatory constraints. Future management approaches should consider adapting to rising coastal groundwater levels because of increasing wastewater contamination risks.
‘You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours’: An examination of actor engagement in water public private partnerships
Authors: Elder Alison D. , Gerlak Andrea K. 
Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT

Public–private partnerships, or PPPs, first gained prominence in the water sector with the promise of providing more efficient and lower-cost water services and infrastructure. Despite criticism, water PPPs continue to grow globally and receive support from a diverse set of actors around the globe. This empirical research uses a combination of inductive and deductive approaches to study the engagement of key actors in water PPPs, including the private sector, non-governmental organizations, and intergovernmental organizations. We map out the differing relationships across key actors engaged in water PPPs to examine the interdependencies between actors. We uncover how actors help to serve or promote water PPPs and how, in turn, water PPPs help with the achievement of different actor goals. Our findings reveal how through PPPs, private sector actors utilize the sustainable development goals as a form of moral authority to exhibit corporate social responsibility. We also find that the unique capabilities of pro-PPP NGOs enable them to serve as connectors between actors in facilitating water PPPs. As climate change increasingly strains water resources globally, understanding the goals, motivations, and capabilities of the diverse actors engaged in the water sector is crucial for addressing water challenges going forward.

Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT
The rate of groundwater extraction has seen an exponential rise in India over the past few decades. Several districts in the country face groundwater depletion and contamination issues, threatening agricultural and domestic usage. The overexploitation of the resource can be attributed to the sowing of water-intensive crops, distortionary subsidies, the absence of incentives, asymmetrical information, and regulatory bottlenecks. This paper presents a comparative analysis of the experiences of various states of India in regulating groundwater extraction. It discusses both the legal and institutional components of the current framework and explores groundwater conservation policies from both the demand and supply sides. The paper highlights the issues of zoning and registration of wells, the promotion of water-saving practices, the implementation of recharge projects for aquifers and wells, and the improvement of groundwater governance as potential solutions to alleviate the ongoing crisis. Furthermore, the paper emphasises the importance of sustainable management, community engagement, and regulatory frameworks to tackle issues like groundwater depletion. Lastly, it suggests actionable steps for policymakers to promote sustainable practices and ensure a secure future for India's groundwater resources.
An experimental investigation for the determination of the optimum ratio of nano clay for reducing local scour around a cylindrical bridge pier
Authors: Dheyab Abubaker Sami , Günal Mustafa 
Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT

Local scour is one of the main causes of the bridge collapse. It occurs when the flow erodes the sediments surrounding the bridge's piers. This experimental study aims to find an innovative approach for armoring the bed using nano clay to mitigate the erodibility of non-uniform sand beds. Additionally, the study investigates the nano clay-sand bed under various hydraulic conditions, with different pier diameters to determine the optimal nano clay ratio for minimizing local scour around a cylindrical bridge pier. This study indicates that the nano clay could be used effectively to reduce the local scour depth, with an optimum ratio of 0.25% when the flow shallowness is less than 1.4 and an optimum ratio of 0.5% for the flow shallowness between 1.4 and 2. Notably, a significant reduction of up to 68% in local scour depth is observed out of all experiments. Furthermore, the study demonstrates the influence of nano clay on other factors related to local scour depth. It presents a predictive equation that can be used to estimate the depth of local scour in a bed composed of nano clay and non-uniform sand. This equation is derived from the obtained data from this experimental investigation.

One of the efforts to mitigate climate change is the preservation of mangrove ecosystems because of their function as carbon storage and absorbers. The coast of Karawang Regency is a potential area for mangrove ecosystems, but information on existing carbon stocks and sequestration is not yet known, let alone the contribution of mangrove rejuvenation, including from rehabilitation seedlings. The study results show that the total carbon stock on the coast of Karawang Regency ranges from 13.75 – 56.89 MgC ha–1 or 5,799.88 – 24,003.58 MgC. This value is obtained from the contribution of three main species, namely A. marina of 4.38 – 15.38 MgC ha–1, R. apiculata of 5.80 – 24.63 MgC ha–1, and R. mucronata of 3.57 – 16.88 MgC ha–1. The carbon sequestration value (CO2-equivalent) on the coast of Karawang Regency ranges from 50.40 – 208.58 MgCO2-eq ha–1 or an overall of 21,266.23 – 88,013.14 MgCO2-eq. This value was obtained from the contribution of three main species, namely A. marina of 16.07 – 56.41 MgCO2-eq ha–1, R. apiculata of 21.25 – 90.29 MgCO2-eq ha–1, and R. mucronata of 13.08 – 61.88 MgCO2-eq ha–1. The total contribution value of stock and carbon sequestration from mangrove rejuvenation in the simulation up to 10 years of diameter growth reached 24.58 MgC year–1 and 90.14 MgCO2-eq year–1. These values are an accumulation of three categories of youth, namely the existing sapling category (7.86 MgC year–1 and 28.82 MgCO2-eq year–1), the existing seedling category (4.72 MgC year–1 and 17.32 MgCO2-eq year–1), and the seedling category (3.64 MgC year–1 and 13.33 MgCO2-eq year–1).
