Published: November 2023

Background:
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) affects not only individual's physical health but also their well-being and makes them vulnerable in different ways. Post-COVID-19 depression is dependent on the dynamic interaction between social, medical, economic, geographical, and political factors determining the availability, vulnerability, and distribution of pandemic outbreaks that create fear apprehension and instability among the population.

Aim:
To evaluate the level of depression (pre and post) and the management of depression among patients from Western Uttar Pradesh of Northern India after the pandemic of COVID-19.

Materials and Methods:
It was a longitudinal study involving a total of 156 patients with depression. Through chit randomization methods, patients are allocated into two groups, that is, experimental (n=92) and control (n=64). Both groups received appropriate pharmacotherapy. The experimental group in addition also underwent eight therapeutic sessions of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) (relaxation breathing exercise, activity scheduling, and cognitive restructuring). The period of study was from July 2021 to January 2022. Depression was assessed by applying the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) pre- and post-intervention.

Results:
According to BDI II, 59.78% of patients report severe levels, 25% of patients report moderate levels, and 15.21% report mild levels of depression. Patients who received medications plus CBT showed significantly better improvement than the patients who received only medications.

Conclusion:
Patients with post-COVID-19 depression showed better improvement with medications plus CBT than medications alone. The finding of this study underline the importance of CBT in the treatment of depression.

Published: November 2023

Purpose:
Substandard quality across published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) is a major concern. Imperfect reporting has the potential to distort the evidence landscape and waste valuable health-care resources. In this study, we aim to assess the current quality of reporting in the field of spine using a modified version of the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) checklist.

Materials and Methods:
A list of published RCTs in the field of spine disease from January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2020, was built. Two reviewers scored the published RCTs against a modified CONSORT checklist. The mean adjusted CONSORT scores for each study, reporting category, and checklist item were calculated.

Results:
The mean and median scores across all of the RCTs were 0.72 and 0.74 out of 1.00, respectively. The spectrum of scores was wide, ranging from 0.45 to 0.94. The reporting categories with the lowest score included randomization, blinding, and abstract. The items which were most under-reported included allocation sequence generation, type of randomization used, full trial protocol details, and abstract methodology. The inter-rater reliability between our reviewers was substantial (κ = 0.7, κ = 0.71).

Conclusion:
Our findings correlate with only a moderate level of compliance to the CONSORT criteria on the quality of reporting for RCTs in spinal conditions. This is in line with previous reports on compliance, both within and outside the field of spinal conditions. Further continued and sustained efforts are still required to enhance the quality and consistency of RCT reporting, ultimately reducing health-care resource wastage and improving patient safety.

The theory states that a person's desire to learn something is influenced by the level of current knowledge. However, it is not yet known how the quality of information affects that desire. By using the stock agent's Instagram account as a source of information, this study aims to investigate the effect of the quality of current information and knowledge on an interest to invest in stocks. Therefore, the authors recruited 100 followers of the @tanamduit Instagram account, which were taken using judgmental sampling. Data were analyzed by multiple linear analysis with the help of SPSS. The results confirm that the quality of current information and the level of knowledge influence individuals’ interest to invest. Future research may investigate further how that interest is transformed into actual behavior.
The effect of weld bead heat input on the performance of thick 3CR12 stainless steel welds
Authors: Phiri Christabel , Madyira Daniel Makunwaneyi 
Published: November 2023

3CR12 is a low cost special stainless steel containing 12% chromium. It is widely used in material handling, road transport, rail transport, power generation and petrochemical applications due to its favorable corrosion performance. 3CR12 is a weldable material, but it has challenges such as poor ductility, poor toughness of 3CR12 stainless steel welds, unfavorable microstructure and cross-sectional properties of the weld bead. This is due to the welding heat input and heat transfer across beads, which causes cracking due to property changes. When welding a thick stainless steel section, the hardest heat affected zone (HAZ) is created due to uneven heating and cooling in the weld metal and base material, which is susceptible to cold cracks and residual stresses, resulting in welding defects and unfavorable material properties. Welding thick 3CR12 stainless steels can be accomplished by using a variety of welding techniques. In order to restore undesirable material qualities, the majority of welds require a post-weld heat treatment (PWHT). However, critical PWHT factors such as duration, weld geometry, and unsupported loads during the hot phase of the weld do not always allow the process to be effective. This process results in prolonged downtime since the holding time in the PWHT cycle can be very long, especially with thick-walled 3CR12 steel members. There are other methods that are currently used to weld or repair thick 3CR12 steels. Among these other methods, the use of controlled temper bead welding technique which potentially could mitigate the above mentioned problems is mentioned. The approach involves using the heat input of the weld bead as a way of introducing the heat into the previous weld bead. This is achieved by varying the heat input in order to improve the mechanical performance of the previous weld bead and thus the overall weld integrity. Welding procedures for 3CR12 recommend the use of minimum heat to avoid weld defects and unfavorable material properties. This study was carried out to investigate the effect of the heat input of the weld bead on the mechanical properties of thick welds made of 3CR12 stainless steel. By utilizing inert gas (MIG) welding, two heat input levels were used in the process: low heat input averaged at 1.53 kJ/mm and high heat input averaged at 2.1kJ/mm. The heat input was varied by changing the welding parameters, for example the average welding voltage ranging from 28V to 30V, the average welding current from 120 A to 150 A and the average feed rate between 1.77mm/sec to 2.0mm/sec.

Purpose: The study investigated challenges associated with border security operations to promote socio-economic development using an integrated border management model at Aflao Border in Ghana. Using a mixed method approach, which is in line with the transformative philosophical underpinning.
Methodology: Both interviews and questionnaires were employed as data collection tools. The population was sampled from four security service institutions manning the operations at Afloa border. Given the premise that border security forces were selected from the four coordinated security forces. The study respectively drew 112 security personnel drawn at random from the Afloa border. Using the sampling ratio proposed by Cochran (1963: 75) to arrive at variability p = 0.5 (maximum variability) and with the desire of 95% confidence level and ±5% precision. The sampled population was composed of 106 border security personnel, and 6 senior border security personnel serving in the hierarchy of the General, Patrol, Intelligence, and Anti-Human Smuggling and Trafficking Units at the borders were interviewed to furnish the qualitative data for this study. The study adopted a descriptive research design using personnel from the Ghana Immigration Service, Customs Division of Ghana Revenue Authority, Ghana Police Service, and Ghana Armed Forces in charge of security at the Aflao border.
Findings: The study concludes that specific challenges which confront the border security apparatus are, in order of priority, inadequate logistics and equipment, inadequate coordination among border officials, and inadequacy of border security personnel.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Improve border control, the government should make needed resources available by providing modern equipment/gadgets and logistics for patrol teams and the operations of the security system.

Dark septate endophytic fungi associated with pioneer grass inhabiting volcanic deposits and their functions in promoting plant growth
Authors: Sun Han , Nishizawa Tomoyasu , Ohta Hiroyuki , Narisawa Kazuhiko 
Published: November 2023

Abstract. Growth of the pioneer grass Miscanthus condensatus, one of the first vegetation types to be established on volcanic deposits, is promoted by root-associated fungi, particularly dark septate endophytes (DSEs). Fungal taxa within DSEs colonize the root of Miscanthus condensatus in oligotrophic Andosol, and their function in plant growth promotion remains largely unknown. We, therefore, comprehensively assessed the composition of the DSE community associated with Miscanthus condensatus root in volcanic ecosystems using the approaches of both metabarcoding (next-generation sequencing) and isolation (culturing). Also, the promotion effects of DSEs on plant growth (rice as a proxy) were evaluated by inoculation of core isolates to rice roots. Here, we found the following: (i) 70 % of culturable fungi that colonized Miscanthus condensatus phylogenetically belonged to DSEs; (ii) seven orders were identified by both sequencing and culturing methods; and (iii) inoculation of DSE isolates (Phialocephala fortinii, P. helvetica, and Phialocephala sp.) validated their effects on rice growth, particularly under an extremely low pH condition (compared to the control without inoculation, rice biomass was enhanced 7.6-fold after inoculation of P. fortinii). This study helps improve our understanding of the community of Miscanthus condensatus-associated DSE fungi and their functions in promoting plant growth.
Examining the dynamics of a Borneo vortex using a balance approximation tool

Abstract. Cyclonic vortices that are weaker than tropical storm category can bring heavy precipitation as they propagate across the South China Sea and surrounding countries. Here we investigate the structure and dynamics responsible for the intensification of a Borneo vortex that moved from the north of Borneo across the South China Sea and impacted Vietnam and Thailand in late October 2018. This case study is examined using Met Office Unified Model (MetUM) simulations and a semi-geotriptic (SGT) balance approximation tool. Satellite observations and a MetUM simulation with 4.4 km grid initialised at 12:00 UTC on 21 October 2018 show that the westward-moving vortex is characterised by a coherent maximum in total column water and by a comma-shaped precipitation structure with the heaviest rainfall to the northwest of the circulation centre. The Borneo vortex comprises a low-level cyclonic circulation and a mid-level wave embedded in the background easterly shear flow, which strengthens with height up to around 7 km. Despite being in the tropics at 6∘ N, the low-level vortex and mid-level wave are well represented by SGT balance dynamics. The mid-level wave propagates along a vertical gradient in moist stability, i.e. the product between the specific humidity and the static stability, at 4.5 to 5 km and is characterised by a coherent signature in the potential vorticity, meridional wind, and balanced vertical velocity fields. The vertical motion is dominated by coupling with diabatic heating and is shifted relative to the potential vorticity so that the diabatic wave propagates westwards, relative to the flow, at a rate consistent with prediction from moist semi-geostrophic theory. Initial vortex development at low levels is consistent with baroclinic growth initiated by the mid-level diabatic Rossby wave, which propagates on baroclinic shear flow on the southern flank of a large-scale cold surge.
