Authors: Zhou Minghua 
Published: March 2024

ObjectiveTo analyse regional differences in health resource allocation in the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle.DesignA longitudinal analysis that collected data on health resource allocation from 2017 to 2021.SettingThe number of beds, health technicians, licensed (assistant) physicians, registered nurses and financial allocations per 1000 population in the 42 regions of Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle were used for the analysis.MethodsThe entropy weight technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS) method and the rank sum ratio (RSR) method were used to evaluate the health resource allocation.ResultsThe number of licensed (assistant) physicians per 1000 population in the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle (3.01) was lower than the average in China (3.04) in 2021. According to the entropy weight–TOPSIS method, Yuzhong in Chongqing had the largest C-value and the highest ranking. Jiangbei in Chongqing and Chengdu and Ya’an in Sichuan Province had higher C-values and were ranked in the top 10. Jiangjin, Hechuan, Tongnan and Zhongxian in Chongqing and Guang’an in Sichuan Province had lower C-values and were all ranked after the 30th place. According to the RSR method, the 42 regions were divided into three grades of good, medium and poor. The health resource allocations of Yuzhong, Jiangbei, Nanchuan, Jiulongpo and Shapingba in Chongqing and Chengdu and Ya’an in Sichuan Province were of good grade, those of Tongnan, Jiangjin, Yubei and Dazu in Chongqing and Guang’an and Dazhou in Sichuan Province were of poor grade, and the rest of the regions were of medium grade.ConclusionThe regional differences in health resource allocation in the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle were more obvious, the health resource allocation in Chongqing was more polarised and the health resource allocation in Sichuan Province was more balanced, but the advantaged regions were not prominent enough.
Lack of associations between hospital rating and outcomes in patients with an acute coronary syndrome
Authors: Aspberg Sara , Kahan Thomas , Johansson Fredrik 
Published: March 2024

BackgroundPublic reporting of performance data has become a common tool in evaluation of healthcare providers. The rating may be misleading if the association between the measured variables and the outcome is weak.Methods and resultsNationwide, register-based, cohort study. All Swedish patients hospitalised with an acute coronary syndrome during the time periods 2006–2010 and 2015–2017 were included in the study. Possible associations between cardiovascular morbidity and mortality for these patients and ranking scores for each hospital in a Swedish healthcare quality register for acute coronary syndromes were analysed. We found no association between the ranking score and mortality, and no or weak associations between the ranking score and readmissions.ConclusionsLack of associations between quality measurements and patient outcomes warrants improvement in ranking scores. Cautious use of the ranking results is necessary in comparisons between healthcare providers.

BackgroundAirway obstruction is defined by spirometry as a low forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) to forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio. This impaired ratio may originate from a low FEV1(classic) or a normal FEV1in combination with a large FVC (dysanaptic). The clinical implications of dysanaptic obstruction during childhood and adolescence in the general population remain unclear.AimsTo investigate the association between airway obstruction with a low or normal FEV1in childhood and adolescence, and asthma, wheezing and bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR).MethodsIn the BAMSE (Barn/Child, Allergy, Milieu, Stockholm, Epidemiology; Sweden) and PIAMA (Prevention and Incidence of Asthma and Mite Allergy; the Netherlands) birth cohorts, obstruction (FEV1:FVC ratio less than the lower limit of normal, LLN) at ages 8, 12 (PIAMA only) or 16 years was classified as classic (FEV1<LLN) or dysanaptic (FEV1≥LLN) obstruction. Cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between these two types of obstruction and respiratory health outcomes were estimated by cohort-adjusted logistic regression on pooled data.ResultsThe prevalence of classic obstruction at ages 8, 12 and 16 in the two cohorts was 1.5%, 1.1% and 1.5%, respectively. Dysanaptic obstruction was slightly more prevalent: 3.9%, 2.5% and 4.6%, respectively. Obstruction, regardless of FEV1, was consistently associated with higher odds of asthma (dysanaptic obstruction: OR 2.29, 95% CI 1.40 to 3.74), wheezing, asthma medication use and BHR compared with the normal lung function group. Approximately one-third of the subjects with dysanaptic obstruction in childhood remained dysanaptic during adolescence.Clinical implicationsChildren and adolescents with airway obstruction had, regardless of their FEV1level, a higher prevalence of asthma and wheezing. Follow-up and treatment at these ages should be guided by the presence of airway obstruction.

Sabedorias cerratenses em uma epistemologia da Ecologia dos Saberes
Authors: Franco Eduardo Ferraz 
Published: March 2024

As formulações filosóficas e científicas compreendidas no interior dos paradigmas ocidentais se dão a partir de uma suposta neutralidade, em que o sujeito do conhecimento desterritorializa-se e assume uma visão de sobrevôo. A abstração do sujeito do conhecimento favorece a conservação dos privilégios de um mundo organizado a partir das hierarquizações da colonialidade. Romper com a neutralidade e contextualizar geograficamente os sujeitos do conhecimento promovem uma epistemologia da Ecologia dos saberes. Dentre a biodiversidade epistêmica, os pensamentos situados a partir dos Cerrados goianos fornecem perspectivas que auxiliam a compreensão do sistema-mundo.

Authors: Silva Antonio Marcos Gomes da , Silva Valéria Cristina Pereira da 
Published: March 2024

Este trabajo involucra literatura e imaginario, trayendo como problema de investigación: ¿cómo la literatura cordel contribuye a la comprensión del imaginario de la ciudad? Entendemos por imaginario, según Bachelard (2003), el conjunto de imágenes creadas por la imaginación, que es el momento a partir del cual estas imágenes encuentran la ciudad, a través de la literatura. El objetivo es comprender el imaginario de la ciudad de Juazeiro do Norte-CE a través de las imágenes de la literatura de cordel. La metodología resultará del análisis de los versos de cuerda en su interfaz con la ciudad. Se espera identificar la narrativa sobre la ciudad y los aportes de los sujetos que la viven, producen y expresan a través del cordel.
Ens reale, ens rationis, or Something In-Between?
Authors: Andersen Claus A. 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
The ontological status of esse cognitum was at the center of complex debates throughout the Scotist tradition (Alnwick vs. Aesculo, Mastri vs. Punch). This article investigates the Scotist Angelo Volpe’s discussion of esse cognitum enjoyed by possible creatures in the divine intellect. Volpe responds to two religious warnings, one against assuming any eternal real being for merely possible creatures, and a second against depriving God’s eternal knowledge of a corresponding object, since that would endanger this knowledge itself. Volpe opts for a solution that allows possible creatures the status of beings of reason (entia rationis) due to their own ontological merit, and the status of real beings (entia realia) due to God’s knowing that they as possibles are not in opposition to real existence. He rejects the view that esse cognitum is a kind of being that holds a middle position between real being and being of reason. Volpe’s historical significance is emphasized.
The Zoroastrian Manuscripts of the Rostam Jāmāsb’s Family and a New Dating of Videvdād 4100
Authors: Gholami Saloumeh 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
The manuscripts of two sons of Rostam Jāmāsb, Tīrān and Šahrām, are thematized in various works, including Mazdapour, Andrés-Toledo and Cantera, Boroumand Amin, Cantera, Martínez-Porro. One of the important manuscripts of this family is Videvdād 4100. Previous scholarship indicates that this manuscript was copied in 1871 AD. This date has been used as a basis for further orthographical and palaeographical analysis of this family’s manuscripts and for clarifying their relationship to other Avestan manuscripts.
In this article, however, I argue that this date is incorrect. Furthermore, it has led to ambiguities in dating and interpretation of orthographical and palaeographical characteristics of other Rostam Jāmāsb manuscripts. Based on genealogical information from the colophons of the family’s Avestan manuscripts, as well as the results from other Zoroastrian manuscripts newly discovered, I review previous attempts to date the family’s manuscripts and offer a new dating for ms. 4100. I also aim to reconstruct the family tree of the Rostam Jāmāsb family as well as the history of their manuscripts.
I argue that uncertainty of the calendar era in the colophons and marginalia yields incorrect results, highlighting the importance of considering all calendar era variants for correct evaluation of data.
Updated Observations Provide Stronger Evidence for Increases in Subhourly to Hourly Extreme Rainfall in Canada
Authors: Cannon Alex J. , Jeong Dae-Il , Yau Ka-Hing 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Global warming is expected to lead to increases in atmospheric moisture and intensify subhourly to hourly rainfall extremes. However, signal-to-noise ratios are low, especially at the local scale, making detection of changes in the observational record difficult. For Canada, previous studies based on short data records from 1965 to 2005 did not show conclusive evidence of increases in short-duration extreme rainfall. This study updates single-site and regional trend analyses of 5-min–24-h annual maximum rainfall in Canada using data from 1950 to 2021. Estimates of temporal trends are extended to also consider the association between rainfall intensity and dewpoint temperature, a measure of moisture availability. With longer records, evidence for increases in extreme rainfall at individual sites is stronger. Field significant increasing trends are found for the majority of durations, whereas before results were mixed and typically not statistically significant. Intensification is even more pronounced in single-site scaling of rainfall intensity with summer mean dewpoint temperature. Field significant positive scaling rates are detected for all durations. When data are pooled in space—irrespective of choice of regionalization—the results are even more clear. Notably, the strongest and most spatially homogeneous intensification of short-duration extreme rainfall is detected in subhourly to 2-h durations. When data are pooled across Canadian climate regions, field significant positive scaling is found in 72.7%–81.8% of regions for 5-min–2-h durations, with median scaling rates ranging from 5.3% to 9.4% °C−1. For durations ≥ 6 h, this falls to 27.3%–53% of regions, with scaling rates less than 4% °C−1.
A Conceptual Model for the Development of Tornadoes in the Complex Orography of the Po Valley
Authors: De Martin Francesco , Davolio Silvio , Miglietta Mario Marcello , Levizzani Vincenzo 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
The Po Valley in northern Italy is a hotspot for tornadoes in Europe in spite of being surrounded by two mountain ridges: the Alps in the north and the Apennines in the southwest. The research focuses on the case study of 19 September 2021, when seven tornadoes (four of them rated as F2) developed in the Po Valley in a few hours. The event was analyzed using observations and numerical simulations with the convection-permitting Modello Locale in Hybrid Coordinates (MOLOCH) model. Observations show that during the event in the Po Valley, there were two surface boundaries that created a triple point: an outflow boundary generated by convection triggered in the Alpine foothills and a dryline generated by downslope winds from the Apennines, while warm and moist air advected westward from the Adriatic Sea east (ahead) of the boundaries. Tornadoes developed about 20 km northeast of the triple point. Numerical simulations with 500-m grid spacing suggest that the development of supercells and drylines in the Po Valley was sensitive to the elevation of the Apennines. Simulated vertical profiles show that the best combination of instability and wind shear for the development of tornadoes was attained within a narrow area located ahead of the dryline. A conceptual model for the development of tornadoes in the Po Valley is proposed, and the differences between tornado environments over a flat terrain and over a region with complex terrain are discussed.

Significance Statement
The Po Valley is a highly populated area where some of the most violent tornadoes in Europe have developed. We investigated a tornado outbreak that occurred on 19 September 2021 in this region, in order to identify its main environmental characteristics. High-resolution numerical simulations revealed that values of instability and wind shear were compatible with the development of several tornadoes only in a narrow area close to the intersection of two surface boundaries (a triple point). Moreover, the atmospheric environment during the tornado outbreak was strongly influenced by the presence of mountain ridges surrounding the plain. We have summarized our results in a conceptual model that can potentially be used for forecasting applications.
Optimization of natural rubber foams: Effect of foaming agent content and processing conditions on the cellular structure and mechanical properties
Authors: Rostami-Tapeh-Esmaeil Ehsan , Ahmad Hibal , Kazemi Hossein , Rodrigue Denis 
Published: March 2024

In the past decades, natural rubber (NR) foams became popular in the automotive, construction and aerospace industries because of their lightweight, flexibility and shock-absorbing properties. The selection of optimal formulation and processing parameters is critical to produce foam with specific properties depending on the application. In this study, the effect of foaming agent concentration, foaming temperature and time on the morphological and mechanical properties of NR foams was investigated. First, increasing the foaming agent content from 5 to 9 phr (parts per hundred rubber) increased the cell size (16%), while decreasing the compression modulus (28%). In the second part, increasing the foaming temperature (145 to 155°C) resulted in larger cell size (163%); while decreasing the cell density (28%), compression modulus (2%), and hardness (1%). In the third part, increasing the foaming time (25 to 45 min) led to smaller cell size (63%) combined with higher cell density (100%), compression modulus (16%), and hardness (3%). Based on all the results obtained, the best NR foam was obtained with 7 phr of foaming agent and produced at 150°C for 35 min leading to superior morphological and mechanical performance: the smallest cell size (25 µm) and the most uniform cell size distribution ( Đ = 1.03) generating the highest compression modulus (3.36 MPa). Finally, the experimental compression results were combined to build a nonlinear regression model to optimize the formulation and processing conditions leading to 6.5 phr of OBSH molded at 150°C for 36 min. The model showed good agreement with a validation test with less than 2% deviation observed for both compression modulus and strength.
Plasma hyperosmolality during cardiopulmonary bypass is a risk factor for postoperative acute kidney injury: Results from double blind randomised controlled trial

Published: March 2024

Introduction The study objective was to investigate whether a Ringer’s acetate based priming solution with addition of Mannitol and sodium concentrate increases the risk of cardiac surgery associated kidney injury (CSA-AKI). Methods This is a double blind, prospective randomized controlled trial from a single tertiary teaching hospital in Sweden including patients aged ≥65 years ( n = 195) admitted for routine cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Patients in the study group received Ringer’s acetate 1000 mL + 400 mL Mannitol (60 g) + sodium chloride 40 mL (160 mmol) and heparin 2 mL (10 000 IU) 966 mOsmol ( n = 98), while patients in the control group received Ringer’s acetate 1400 mL + heparin 2 mL (10 000 IU), 388 mOsmol ( n = 97) as pump prime. Acute kidney injury was analysed based on the Kidney Disease Improving Outcomes (KDIGO 1-3) definition. Results The overall incidence of CSA-AKI (KDIGO stage 1) was 2.6% on day 1 in the ICU and 5.6% on day 3, postoperatively. The serum creatinine level did not show any postoperative intergroup differences, when compared to baseline preoperative values. Six patients in the Ringer and five patients in the Mannitol group developed CSA-AKI (KDIGO 1-3), all with glomerular filtration rates <60 mL/min/1.73 m2. These patients showed significantly higher plasma osmolality levels compared to preoperative values. Hyperosmolality together with patient age and the duration of the surgery were independent risk factors for postoperative acute kidney injury (KDIGO 1-3). Conclusions The use of a hyperosmolar prime solution did not increase the incidence of postoperative CSA-AKI in this study, while high plasma osmolality alone increased the associated risk by 30%. The data suggests further examination of plasma hyperosmolality as a relative risk factor of CSA-AKI.
The Birth and Development of the Lactation Consultant Profession (1980–2007): An Interview With Chele Marmet (Part II)
Authors: Marmet Chele , Dodgson Joan E. 
Published: March 2024

The remarkable world-changing growth of International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (globally over 35,000 IBCLCs in 2023), as the internationally recognized lactation professional since Chele Marmet conceptualized the field in 1977, demonstrates its importance for society and breastfeeding dyads. The early 1980s was a seminal time in the development of lactation care as a allied health field with specialized knowledge, study, and certification. Chele Marmet played a significant role as an innovator and activist during all these major changes. In this interview, she details these historic events, which she is elaborating further in her upcoming memoir. Although the terms LC and lactation professional have commonly been used to refer to those working clinically with breastfeeding families, in this article both terms refer only to the International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). JHL has a policy not to use the term LC (Dodgson, 2016, 2020); our rationale is that this term is currently too vague and is often misused by those with less education and experience than IBCLCs. However, we have used LC in this article at times when referring to lactation professionals prior to the development of the international board examination. This article is the second part of the interview; Part I was published in the previous JHL issue (February 2014). This interview has been transcribed with minor editing for ease of reading.
