Non-linear Association between Serum Sodium-To-Potassium Ratio and 14-day Mortality in AKI Patients with COPD: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Authors: Wang Yaotang , Hu Ruimin , Lam Yatsu 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
BACKGROUND
There is a lack of evidence about association between serum sodium-to-potassium ratio on admission and 14-day mortality in AKI patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Herein, we aimed to identify the association between serum Na/K ratio and short term mortality in AKI patients with COPD.
METHODS
A retrospective analysis of data from the Dyrad database was performed on AKI patients identified by electronic recordings. A multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression model and Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis were used to analyse the correlation of serum sodium-to-potassium ratio between the serum sodium-potassium ratio and 14-day mortality in AKI patients with COPD. Furthermore, interaction and subgroup analyses were evaluated for the consistency of these correlations.
RESULTS
A total of 1867 AKI patients with COPD were included in this study. The 14-day mortality was 7.6% (142/1867). Multivariate analysis after adjusting for potential confounders indicated that high serum Na/K ratio(≥33) were associated with decreased risk of 14-day mortality as compared to low serum Na/K ratio (>33), (hazard ratio (HR): 0.67 [95% CI: 0.47–0.97]). Similarly, the Kaplan–Meier (K–M) survival curve also showed that patients with high serum Na/K ratio had a great survival rate. Stratiﬁed analyses further showed that depending on the variable tests, an association between higher serum Na/K ratio and 14-day mortality in different subgroups was observed.
CONCLUSIONS
Among AKI patients with COPD, high serum Na/K ratio was associated with decreased short-term mortality.

Authors: Salimova Leila , Rusnakova Marketa 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Objective
The study aimed to analyze the role and effectiveness of multidisciplinary teams in preventing adolescent suicide within educational settings in Slovakia and Kyrgyzstan.
Materials and Methods
Qualitative research methods were employed, involving semi-structured interviews with 10 specialists from Slovakia and Kyrgyzstan. The study assessed the collaborative efforts of various professionals involved in suicide prevention.
Results
Despite differing levels of development and implementation of multidisciplinary team concepts, findings revealed a generally positive impact of collaborative efforts in both countries (more structured in Slovakia and less developed in Kyrgyzstan). Multidisciplinary teams in educational settings strive to create supportive environments for adolescents, contributing significantly to mitigating various issues during their formative years.
Conclusions
Prevention efforts require coordinated action among multiple social institutions with unified strategies. While progress has been made, there remains potential for further development, particularly in improving cooperation among specialists, national recognition of youth suicide as a critical issue, and institutionalizing procedures to elevate the status and education of multidisciplinary teams. Significance: This research provides innovative insights into the effectiveness of multidisciplinary teams in suicide prevention among adolescents. By suggesting comprehensive strategies for team collaboration, it offers valuable contributions to reducing youth suicide rates in both Slovakia and Kyrgyzstan.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is a critical component of any strategy to limit global warming to well below 2°C and rapidly gaining attention in climate research and policymaking. Despite its importance, there have been few attempts to systematically evaluate the scientific evidence on CDR. Here we use an approach rooted in artificial intelligence to produce a comprehensive systematic map of the CDR literature. In particular, we hand-label 5,339 documents to train machine learning classifiers with high levels of precision and recall to identify a total of 28,976 CDR studies across different technology domains and disciplines published in the period 1990-2022 which is at least 2-3 times more than previous studies suggested. We paint a granular picture of available CDR research in terms of the CDR methods studied, the geographical focus of research, the research method applied, and the broad area of research. The field has grown considerably faster than the climate change literature as a whole. This is driven mainly by the rapid expansion of literature on biochar, which made up about 62% of CDR publications in 2022. Beyond this stark concentration of CDR research on a few individual CDR methods, we find that most studies (86%) focus on improving the CDR methods themselves, but there is little research on their societal implications and ethical foundations. Citations patterns from the most recent IPCC report strongly differ from publication patterns on CDR in terms of its attention to CDR methods, research design and methodological context, as does attention to CDR methods in policy and practice in terms of real-world deployments, patenting activity, as well as public investments. As the importance of CDR grows for meeting the Paris climate goals, we believe that the accompanying literature database will be of additional value for the upcoming IPCC assessment, but also for science, policy and practice.
Forest bees need compositionally diverse canopies

Published: March 2024

Abstract

Forests provide critical habitats for pollinating insects, including forest-dependent and habitat generalist species, yet it is unknown how these assemblages are shaped by overstory tree composition. We sampled bees in closed canopy plots in the southeastern United States representing a continuum of forest age and tree composition, from younger conifer-dominated forests to older forests dominated by deciduous broadleaf trees. Species-specific responses of bees to forest composition, and the influence of their traits on responses, were estimated using a joint species distribution model. Additionally, we investigated species richness trends of nesting, sociality, and phenological trait groups. Forest composition greatly influenced bee species occurrence: 48% of species had positive relationships with the diversity of insect-pollinated broadleaf trees and 46% had negative relationships with the proportion of conifer basal area. Bee species with early phenological activity drove these responses and richness patterns supported these trends. Our results indicate that phenology is an important factor determining bee species’ forest dependency and sensitivity to forest composition in this region. We conclude that diverse broadleaf forests are crucial to maintaining bee diversity by providing floral resources that support forest-dependent species even in closed canopy conditions. Conifer forests can also provide valuable habitat to bee pollinators when restored to open canopy conditions. However, because no traits are indicative of conifer forest dependency and bee species respond to understory flora rather than tree attributes, open conifer forests may more strongly favor habitat generalists than forest specialists.
JOB STRESS AMONG RAILWAY EMPLOYEES WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO KOLLAM RAILWAY STATION
Authors: Shamna H  
Published: March 2024

Indian railway is the biggest public sector industry in India. The success of the industry mainly depends on the work forces. But they face a lot of problems. The employees in the Indian railway are experiencing a tremendous amount of pressure at the work place. Increased workloads, overtime, hostile work environment and shift work are just a few causes of stressful working conditions (Neethu Mohan & Athira Sivaraman,2017). In this context it is essential to study the occupational stress of railway employees. This is very important to control and take measures to reduce the stress because work stress may lead to family problems, health issues (mental health and physical health), social problems etc. The stress is consuming issue in present day society (Jecintha Sathiyavathi& Dr. M. Muthupandi (2021). Employee health is substantially affected by work, and work is affected by employees’ health as well (Aslihan & ayfer,2021). The physical working environment also gives rise to work load including noise, uncomfortable conditions of train platforms etc. Railway employees struggles to balance the job and family responsibilities. Hence the study has focused on the work stress of railway employees, factors affecting stress, effect of stress among employees and how the stress is related to age level.

Abstract

Flooding constitutes a major problem for the inhabitants of Douala City in general and those of the Tongo Bassa watershed (TBW) in particular. Faced with this situation, public authorities need to put in place measures to mitigate the vulnerability of populations to these disasters. This article aims to map flooding risk areas in the TBW using the geographic information system, field data (historical flood points), remote sensing data (Sentinel II image) and the frequency ratio model. The map produced shows that 1.41, 8.88, 28.51, 33.86 and 27.33% of the basin area are respectively delimited into very low, low, medium, high and very high flood vulnerability classes. High and very high flooding risk areas (those where flooding is most likely to occur) occupy more than half of the basin (61.19%). These areas are characterized by significant imperviousness, low altitudes, weak slopes, significant proximity to watercourses and clayey soils. Most of the houses in the basin (66.92%) are located in areas affected by these two levels of exposure (high and very high). With respective success and prediction accuracy rates of 89 and 96.78%, a certain confidence deserves to be placed on the map of flooding risk areas produced.

Abstract

Most anthropogenic activities have a profound effect on land cover that affects the water cycle and, ultimately, the availability of water in the watershed. The idea of this study was to evaluate the hydrological response to land use and land cover change in the Bilata watershed. To achieve this objective, supervised land use land cover classification was applied for the years 2000, 2010, and 2020 using ERDAS IMAGINE 2015. The watershed underwent significant land use and land cover changes from 2000 to 2020. There was an abrupt expansion of agricultural land and a reduction of forest. The SWAT model was applied to evaluate the impact of land use and land cover change on hydrological processes. The calibration and validation of the SWAT model showed that the model has performed well in simulating the hydrology of the watershed with a coefficient of determination, Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency, and per cent of bias greater than 0.6 for both calibration and validation. Due to intensive agricultural expansion and settlement, the surface runoff increased from 172 to 259.5 and 265.0 mm in 2000, 2010, and 2020, respectively. The average streamflow increased from 132 to 134 and 150 m3/s between 2000, 2010, and 2020.
Flood-spreading effects on the chemical properties of the soil: a case study of the Tasuj station, Iran
Authors: Salmasi Ramin , Behbahaninia Azita , Salmasi Farzin , Abraham John 
Published: March 2024

ABSTRACT
The objective of this paper is to determine whether the flood-spreading system at the Tasuj station in east Azerbaijan, Iran, has caused inappropriate chemical alterations to the properties of the soil. One question is whether the flood-spreading system was constructed at an inappropriate location leading to unintentional consequences. Composite soil samples were taken from three flooded areas, from three grids in each flooding area, and from two depths. Chemical characteristics of the soil including electrical conductivity, pH, concentrations of bicarbonate, chloride, sodium, calcium, and magnesium ions, and the sodium adsorption ratio in the flooded areas were measured. Because of calcareous, gypsum, shale, and marl formations in the first flooded area, dissolution of solutes of these formations increased the concentration of ions in the runoff (especially sodium and chlorine, to 19.50 and 21.90 mmol (charge) L−1, respectively). These high ion concentrations caused the electrical conductivity of the runoff to increase significantly (up to 2.03 dS/m) compared to the other areas. High amounts of lime in the soil caused increasing buffering capacity of the area soil, as a consequence the flood-spreading did not cause significant changes to the soil pH and showed a difference of only 0.3–0.2 in the first flooded area compared to other areas.
Consumers’ perception of piped water supply and their willingness to pay for improved water supply: evidence from an Eastern Indian state
Authors: Mohanty Tapasi , Rout Himanshu Sekhar 
Published: March 2024

ABSTRACT

The objectives of the study are to analyse the perception of consumers on piped water supply, the consumers’ willingness to pay for improved water supply, and the factors that affect it. The sample unit is the consumer household of the public health divisions. The sample size is 181. A multistage random sampling procedure was adopted to choose the sample household. Descriptive statistics and structural equation models are used to analyse the data. This study found that consumer satisfaction is influenced by water supply quantity, pressure, timing, and visual aspects. The main factors causing interruptions include pipeline breakage, cyclone impact, summer water depletion, construction work, motor damage, and reservoir cleaning. Households are not well-informed about advance payment, its benefits, and the proper procedure for obtaining a receipt. Household income, education, satisfaction with water quality, the period of the service association, supply water price, and sufficiency of water during summer directly affect consumers’ willingness to pay. Discontent with appearance and taste affects quality dissatisfaction and indirectly willingness to pay.

Amlapitta is a disease prevalent all over the world. The increasing prevalence rate is a constant challenge to the research workers. Amlapitta is very common disease caused due to Agnimandhya (digestive impairment) by increased Drava Guna of Vidagdha Pachaka Pitta (liquid quality of burned digestive Pitta) affecting the Annavaha Strotas (channels that carry the ingested food) and characterized by primary symptoms such as Avipaka (indigestion), Klama (exhaustion without any exertion). This is a burning problem in the society because of irregular and improper food habits and stressful lifestyle. The aim of the present study was to find out efficacy of Yashtimadhu and Guduchi in Amlapitta. In present study total 30 patients were taken, divided into 3 equal groups. In Group-I: 10 patients were treated with oral administration of Yashtimadhu, in Group-II: 10 patients were treated with Guduchi and in Group-III: 10 patients were treated with Yashtimadhu and Guduchi. After conducting clinical trial on 30 patients, observation and results were obtained. Statistical analysis shows that all three groups were significantly effective to reduce the cardinal symptoms, especially Group-III (Yashtimadhu and Guduchi).

Ayurveda is the world's oldest medical system, which dates back to the Rigveda period BC. 5000. All the medical systems of the world have received their form of organization and developmental inspiration from this, this is an undisputed proven fact. Ayurveda has been called the science of age. Charak has described Ayurveda as eternal. The medical science of Rasashastra is also included in Ayurveda medical science. Rasashastra has been revolutionary in Ayurveda since the 8th century. This has been said to reflect the results of Rasashastra during this period. The chemical drug manufacturing process was being used in the medical world since the 8th century. Since time immemorial, humans have been engaged in research for various purposes in various areas of their lives. Research in Ayurveda is necessary and mandatory. As the struggle and difficulties in a person's life increase along with progressing on the path of salvation, he is suffering from very painful diseases due to not following the health- protecting diet and practices recommended by the famous people. Among these diseases, respiratory disease also holds an important place. This is seen more in the human community. From the study of various texts, it was found that Tindukaghanvati and Kulathaguda Avaleha are effective drug combinations for respiratory diseases. Therefore, in this research work, the study of the above mentioned Yogas on respiratory diseases was considered. The presented research work is being presented before the scholars to reestablish the principles propounded by the Acharyas. The success of the effort depends on the consent of scholars.
