Published: February 2025

Objectives:
The current state of the art for c-section anesthesia includes the use of regional anesthesia techniques because of their effectiveness, safety, and extended postoperative analgesia. This study aimed to analyze the anesthetic techniques employed for c-section and postoperative analgesic regimens and to identify predictive factors for postoperative pain, postoperative complications, and hospitalization time.

Study Design:
A retrospective, observational study was conducted on pregnant women who underwent c-section between January and December 2021. Demographic data, medical comorbidities, indications for c-section, anesthetic techniques, and postoperative outcomes (pain, complications, and hospitalization time) were registered. Linear and logistic regression were applied for data analysis.

Results:
Data from 925 women who underwent c-sections were analyzed. Combined spinal–epidural anesthesia was the most used technique for elective c-sections (423 out of 430 women), while general anesthesia was commonly used in emergent procedures (29 out of 39 women). Epidural analgesia was the most commonly used technique for postoperative pain management (83%), and pruritus (8.9%) and headaches (4.1%) were the most frequently registered complications. Risk factors for moderate/severe pain included lower body mass index, conversion to general anesthesia, and the use of systemic analgesia. Preeclampsia and intrathecal morphine increased postoperative complications. General anesthesia and some postoperative complications were predictors for longer hospitalization times.

Conclusions:
This study suggests that a multimodal analgesic approach with neuraxial morphine and/or local anesthetics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and acetaminophen is central to achieve an effective postoperative analgesia after a c-section. However, further studies should investigate the optimal neuraxial analgesic combination to minimize side effects.

Published: February 2025

Objective: Evaluate the effectiveness of green manures (Oats and vetch association) as a sustainable soil management tool by analyzing spontaneous plant control and biomass contribution under different planting densities in Andean soils.

Method: The study employed a randomized complete block design with four treatments (control, 80 kg/ha, 100 kg/ha, 120 kg/ha) and five replications at Tunshi Experimental Station. Measurements included spontaneous plant diversity using Simpson and Shannon indices, and biomass contribution through fresh and dry weight assessment.

Results and Discussion: The 120 kg/ha treatment proved most effective, demonstrating higher dominance over spontaneous plants (Simpson index 0.60) and superior biomass production (1.88 kg/ha fresh, 0.60 kg/ha dry biomass). Statistical analysis (ANOVA, p < 0.05) confirmed significant differences between treatments, with T3 showing optimal performance in both weed suppression and biomass contribution.

Research Implications: Limited by specific regional focus (inter-Andean climate), single growing season evaluation, and restricted soil type analysis. The study guides sustainable agricultural practices in Andean regions, particularly benefiting small-scale farmers through reduced chemical input dependency.

Originality/Value: Provides empirical evidence for optimal green manure planting densities in Andean soils, addressing the critical issue of soil degradation affecting 47% of Ecuador's agricultural land. The findings offer practical solutions for sustainable soil management in the inter-Andean region.
Urban Nightlife and Contested Spaces
Authors: Brandellero Sara , Rodrigues Kamila Krakowska , Pardue Derek 
Published: February 2025

Urban Nightlife and Contested Spaces: Cultural Encounters after Dusk captures the multifarious nature of the urban night and how it is lived, structured, and reflected upon in diverse cultural and artistic expressions. The volume acknowledges the urban night as an often-overlooked key dimension necessary to understand the complexities of today’s urban spaces, including the often-polarizing question of migration. After dusk, urban social challenges are often magnified, as questions of who can be where and when - along ethnic, racial or gender lines, for example - gain an additional dimension.
The volume underscores, indeed, the multi-dimensionality of night spaces, where bottom-up, grassroot initiatives provide opportunities for self-expression by traditionally marginalized and silenced groups. Chapters span disciplines of urbanism and urban history, literary, film and cultural studies, music, sociology of labour, anthropology of migration, alongside autoethnographic contributions and practice-based photo essays by artists for whom the night is their habitual setting and canvas.
A new method for calculating highway blocking due to high-impact weather conditions
Authors: Liu Duanyang , Jing Tian , Yan Mingyue , Gultepe Ismail , Bao Yunxuan , Wang Hongbin , Zu Fan 
Published: February 2025

Abstract. Fog, rain, snow, and ice are the high-impact weather events that often lead to highway blockings, which in turn causes serious economic and human losses. At present, there is no clear calculation method for the severity of highway blocking, which is related to highway load degree and economic losses. Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a method for assessing the economic losses caused by high-impact weather events that lead to highway blockages, in order to facilitate the management and control of highways and the evaluation of economic losses. The goal of this work is to develop a method to be used to assess the high-impact weather (HIW) effects on highway blocking. Based on the K-means cluster analysis and the CRITIC (criteria importance through intercriteria correlation) weight assignment method, we analyzed the highway-blocking events that occurred in Chinese provinces in 2020. Through cluster analysis, a new method of severity levels of highway blocking is developed to distinguish the severity into five levels. The severity levels of highway blocking due to high-impact weather are evaluated for all weather types. As a part of calculating the degree of highway blocking, the highway load in each province is evaluated. The economic losses caused by dense fog are specifically assessed for the entire country.

Green fuel synthesis from Jatropha curcas seed oil: A Computational Approach using python programming language
Authors: Sangeeta D Benni  
Published: February 2025

The depletion of fossil fuels and environmental concerns in the recent era has gained significant attention in the production of biodiesel from non-edible seed oils as an alternative fuel. Biodiesel is one of the renewable fuel to replace fossil fuel. The synthesis of biodiesel from the seed oils is time consuming and costly. In order to predict new seed oils in biodiesel synthesis, several studies have been conducted to suggest the advantages of artificial intelligence in the field of producing green energy. The fourth industrial revolution is thought to be fuelled by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning algorithms, which can understand complicated issues with non-linear correlations. In the present study attempt has been made to predict the fuel properties of Jatropha curcas seed oil using python programming language. The fatty acid composition required for calculation is derived from literature. This code can be preserved and used multiple times to analyse the fuel properties which is time saving. The values obtained are well within the range of ASTM and EN standards.
