Abstract
The main objective of this research was to generate the parameters of a mathematical model for predicting precipitation behavior in the Curitiba and São Jose dos Pinhais sub-basins, which belong to the upper Iguaçu basin. Initially, a time series of pluviographic records from five meteorological stations was acquired. These data underwent goodness-of-fit tests and probability distribution function analyses, revealing that the Gumbel distribution provided the best fit for the data from all five analyzed stations. Subsequently, the Gumbel distribution and the polynomial regression method determined the relationship between precipitation, intensity, duration, and frequency (IDF). IDF curves for different return periods were plotted using this established model as a function of precipitation event duration. The results showed that the Curitiba station recorded the highest rainfall (146.2 mm) within 24 hours in February 1990. Statistical analysis based on the Mann-Kendall test indicated that the rainfall values from the five stations analyzed exhibited a homogeneous distribution. These findings reveal that the future IDF curves will rise as time goes by, and a possible climate change may occur, which could be due to the various factors that affect the climate. In conclusion, this research successfully derived the parameters necessary for calculating the intensity of future precipitation events across different durations and return periods for the five stations analyzed.

Published: June 2024

Abstract
Uttarakhand state of India, being located in the seismically active Himalayan mountain range, is highly prone to seismic hazards. This study presents assessment of seismic hazard of Uttarakhand through probabilistic approach. For conducting this study, a homogenous earthquake catalogue for moment magnitude during the period 1953 - 2020 with magnitude range of 2.0 - 6.9 consisting of 522 events was used. Various geological structures viz. folds, faults and lineament as well as thrust, have been identified in the associated regions. The state was divided into several grid points and the seismic hazard was evaluated for each of the grid points through probabilistic method. Finally, based on the analysis results, bedrock level hazard maps were developed for the state for contingency level earthquake (CLE) and maximum credible earthquake (MCE). The estimated peak ground acceleration (PGA) of the state is in the range of 0.16g-0.52g for CLE and the PGA varies for 0.20g-0.61g for MCE level earthquake. Main Central Thrust (MCT), Sunder Nagar fault and Ropar fault were observed to be more hazardous in the northern region of the state.

Abstract
Groundwater potential area is a demanding and challenging issue to sustain human life. Where our population increases, the water demand also increases and this creates a water crisis. There is an ever-increasing need for innovative technologies to manage our water resources and meet surface water demands. Geographic Information System (GIS) is one of the Innovative technologies, using which surface water management can be done easily. So groundwater is an extremely demandable focus and necessitates groundwater potential zone analysis. This study waw carried out through different layers(Soil, Aspect, Drain Density, Geology, Geomorphology, Lithology, Slope, Lineament, Hillshade, LULC, and Rainfall) and GIS environment, and groundwater potential zones have been detected for this Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), and Multi-Influencing Factors (MIF) were used in the Arpa basin of Bilaspur city, Chhattisgarh, India and found that MIF is more reliable than AHP in this study. The results of the present work may help the agro-climatic investigators, policymakers, decision-makers, and administrators for sustainable observation of the groundwater potential zones of Arpa River basin.

Published: June 2024

Strombezugsspitzen haben einen hohen Einfluss auf die Stabilität des Stromnetzes und die finanzielle Belastung gewerblicher und industrieller Endverbraucher im Leistungstarif. Werden im Areal des Endverbrauchers Elektrofahrzeuge geladen, können sich die Bezugsspitzen weiter erhöhen. Dies kann durch intelligentes unidirektionales Laden teilweise vermieden werden.Bidirektionales Laden erlaubt eine weitere Verteilung der Last durch Nutzung des Batteriespeichers in den Fahrzeugen. In der vorliegenden Studie wird untersucht, wie sich die unterschiedlichen Ladestrategien bei steigender Flottengröße auf den Gesamtverbrauch in einem Arealstromnetz auswirken. Als Beispiel dienen hier reale Daten vom Campus der Universität des Saarlandes. Die Ergebnisse der Simulationsstudie zeigen, dass gerade bidirektionales Laden ein erhebliches Kostensenkungspotenzial bietet.

Published: June 2024

Vor dem Hintergrund steigender Energiepreise und Abgaben für CO2-Emissionen spielt die Steigerung der Energieeffizienz auch in modularen Anlagen eine bedeutende Rolle. Dafür kann die Nutzung eines geregelten Lastmanagements sinnvoll sein. Dieses hilft sowohl bei geplanten als auch bei ungeplanten Produktionsunterbrechungen, den Energiebedarf auf ein Minimum zu reduzieren, um so die Energieeffizienz der Anlage zu erhöhen. Da es in modularen Anlagen bisher keine standardisierten Lösungen für ein Lastmanagement gibt und dieses bisher auch nicht in der Kombination mit dem Module Type Package (MTP) betrachtet wurde, zeigt dieser Beitrag ein erstes Konzept auf, wie der Zustandsautomat des MTP mit Lastmanagement- Funktionen in Verbindung gebracht werden kann und wie sich diese Verbindung auf die Module und deren Engineeringprozesse auswirkt.

Published: June 2024

: Bupivacaine is the drug of choice in spinal anaesthesia (SA), while Ropivacaine with its comparatively shorter duration of motor block allows early mobilization post ACL reconstruction surgery which is a crucial factor in Early Recovery after Surgery. : In this randomized double-blind comparative study of a total of 60 patients irrespective of gender undergoing ACL reconstruction surgery were studied. After Administration of SA to group R (2.5ml of 0.75% Heavy Ropivacaine) & group B (2.5ml of 0.5% Bupivacaine) both were compared for their post-operative effects with Bromage score, Aldrete score & Visual Analogue Score. : The time required for complete regression of motor blockade in group R (144.5+26.1 mins) &#60; group B (181±21.3mins) which allowed for early mobilization which over all provides better and faster recovery.: Hyperbaric Ropivacaine when compared to Bupivacaine promises better results in terms of early ambulation and intraoperative hemodynamic stability promoting ERAS in patients undergoing ACL reconstruction surgeries. Promoting ERAS policy will reduce the duration of hospital stay, thereby improving the cost-effectiveness of health services.

: Alternatives to general anesthesia technique, pain management of surgical sites have been discussed at length in various studies for burr-hole evacuation in geriatric patients. This is the first study addressing the management of pain that occurs due to extreme contra-lateral side neck rotation to access the surgical site. : This trial was conducted (from January 2021 to January 2022) on 60 patients of age ≥ 18 years with ASA grade I/I/III undergoing unilateral burr hole craniotomy for evacuation of chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) under scalp block. Group D (n=30) received 5 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine by ultrasound-guided superficial cervical plexus block (SCPB), and group P (n=30) received SCPB with placebo (normal saline). The primary outcome was the numerical rating pain score (NRS) pain score during neck movement in the postoperative period. Secondary objectives were muscle spasm assessed by the modified Ashworth scale (MAS), consumption dosage of rescue analgesia, modified Ramsay sedation score (MRSS), and hemodynamic parameters.: NRS scores were significantly lower at 8 hours in the SCPB with drug (D) group compared to the SCPB with placebo group (p-value = 0.019). MAS were higher in group P compared to group D until 12 (&#60;0.001). Consumption of rescue analgesia was higher in group P than group D (&#60;0.001). MRSS was significantly higher in group D compared to group P throughout the intra-operative period (&#60;0.001).: Preoperative superficial cervical plexus block decreases postoperative neck pain and facilitates neck rotation.

Nasotracheal intubation is essential in oro-maxillofacial surgeries to provide a good operational field along with a secured airway. In this study, we aim to compare king vision video laryngoscope with conventional Macintosh laryngoscope for nasotracheal intubation in ear, nose throat and oro-maxillofacial surgeries under general anaesthesia. A total of 102 patients were posted for elective oro-maxillofacial surgeries under general anaesthesia with nasal intubation. Patients were randomized to two different groups. In group K nasotracheal intubation was done with king vision video laryngoscope (KVVL) and in group M with Macintosh laryngoscope. Primary objective was to compare total intubation time and each time intervals (time A: placement of the nasal tube from selected nostril to oropharynx; time B: use of devices to view the glottis, and time C: for nasal tube to be advanced from oropharynx into trachea and removal of the laryngoscope from oral cavity). Secondary objectives were to compare scores of Modified Naso Intubation Difficulty Scale (MNIDS) and haemodynamic responses.The mean total intubation time, and time C interval were noted in King Vision Video Laryngoscope group (37.29±7.83 s and 15.99±8.9 s) and Macintosh laryngoscope group (46.11±10.05 s and 19.86±9.96 s) respectively. There was significant difference between these two groups in terms of mean total intubation time, and time C interval (total time, p=0.001 and time C, p=0.041). The level of difficulty in intubation noted using MNIDS score which is zero in 52.9% patients in King Vision group and 23.5% in Macintosh group (p=0.011).As compared to Macintosh laryngoscope, the king vision laryngoscope requires lesser time for nasotracheal intubation. In addition, Intubation is easier with the king vision laryngoscope than with the Macintosh laryngoscope.

Patient satisfaction is the single most important “Quality of care” indicator that gives insight into effectiveness of care provided. There is a paucity of specific validated questionnaire for assessment of patient satisfaction with perioperative anaesthesia care for Indian sub-continent. We aimed to develop and validate a questionnaire for assessment of patient satisfaction with anaesthesia care. Through a review of literature, input from expert anaesthesiologists, and patient feedback, we came up with thirty-six preliminary questions, which we then categorised into six categories: Communication, Information provided, Involvement in decision-making, Anaesthesia care provided, Continuity of care, and Addressal of perioperative discomforts. All satisfaction-related responses were graded using a 5-point Likert scale. Questions were corrected to twenty-four based on inputs from six experts. The questionnaire was then translated (forward-backwards translation) to the regional language (Tamil) and subjected to pre-pilot testing. Questions were then modified, and Pilot testing was done for statistical validation.The response rate for pilot test was 70% and we received 60 responses. 93% of patients used Tamil version. We received 50% of responses on postoperative day (POD)-1 and remaining 50% on POD-2. None of our questions showed “Floor” or “Ceiling” response needing elimination. Cronbach’s alpha was estimated as 0.697. Our survey's mean score was 87.29 ± 4.65, showing that it accurately measured patient satisfaction.Ours is thefirst validated questionnaire for assessment of patient satisfaction with anaesthesia care suitable for the Indian population. The questionnaire can further be translated into the appropriate regional languages and utilized.

Authors: Das Sambhunath , Krithika K G  
Published: June 2024

Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS), which involves less invasive approaches using smaller incisions, has various advantages. MICS had an even better outcome with on-table extubation, including early postoperative recovery and reduced postoperative complications. The objective of our case series was to demonstrate early postoperative recovery and reduced postoperative complications after on-table extubation of MICS cases. In our case series, we have analyzed 5 MICS cases, where the anaesthesia technique was tailored to extubate the patient on the table and followed up till discharge. All 5 patients were extubated on the table safely. One patient had transient hypercapnia for 30 minutes post-extubation. There were no other postoperative complications. The inotropic support, length of stay in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and the hospital were reduced. : It is feasible and safe to extubate MICS cases on the table with a multidisciplinary approach that helps to reduce post-operative complications and duration of stay in the hospital.
An unusual case of hoarseness of voice after left supraclavicular brachial plexus block
Authors: Singh Poonam , Jamil Shaista 
Published: June 2024

Supraclavicular brachial plexus block (SBPB) is a commonly used regional anesthetic technique for upper limb surgeries in orthopaedic patients. It provides intraoperative anesthesia and postoperative analgesia. SBPB can be administered using either a landmark approach or ultrasound guidance (USG). The use of ultrasound has reduced the complications associated with the block by providing excellent real-time visualization of the pleura, vessels, and plexus in relation to needle insertion. However, complications can still arise even with USG-guided block if a large volume of local anesthetics is used. In fact, a large volume is not necessary when performing USG-guided blocks.We report a case of a 25-year-old male who presented with hoarseness of voice after receiving a USG-guided supraclavicular block (left side) due to recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) block. While RLN block is more common in interscalene blocks, it is a rare complication in SBPB, with very few reported cases of hoarseness of voice due to RLN block after SBPB.

The world conference on Women in 1995 adopted the Beijing Platform for Action, in which governments agreed to implement gender mainstreaming. Other UN conference also acknowledge the importance of adapting a gender specific approach to implementing policies: gender equality has been identified as one of MDGs and designed as a crosscutting theme for work of the commission on sustainable organizations, national government, and most civil society groups still fail to integrate gender perspective adequately into their policies and their action. Gender equality is a right. Women are not only more affected by economic crisis and lack of health care, to climate change, violence against women and escalating conflicts, but also possess ideas and leadership to solve them. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by world leaders in 2015. Achieving gender equality and women’s empowerment is integral to each of the 17 goals in economic globalization era. Women must not miss the jobs of the future. This is the central message of a new study on women in science released by UNESCO (11/06/2021). The digital revolution will need to be inclusive. A fundamental transformation is under way in the workforce. The Fourth Industrial Revolution, or Industry 4.0, is disrupting industries and the labor market, as cyber physical systems proliferate and become more sophisticated. The irony is that the fields most relevant to Industry 4.0 are the very ones where women remain underrepresented in most countries, namely IT, computing, physics, mathematics and engineering. Japan is hoping that the centerpiece of its new growth strategy, Society 5.0, will enable society to adapt to a shrinking, ageing population through widespread use of AI and other digital technologies in industry, agriculture and the services sector.
