Authors: KÖROĞLU Tuncay 
Published: May 2023

In this study we investigate some new suborbital graphs derived from the
action of a special subgroup of the modular group on the extended
rationals. By considering these graphs we obtain some new results
related to integer solutions to the Pell’s equation of the
form x2 − py2 = 1 where p is a non-square positive integer.

Published: May 2023

Abstract Culture is something that is unique and can be a characteristic or identity of an area that is formed from daily habits. Without realizing it, culture is closely related to education, one of which is mathematics. Because culture can be used as a learning media associated with realistic learning styles, culture as a learning medium can be used by educators in the learning process, especially in mathematical concepts. Learning mathematics that is done with a cultural approach is called ethnomathematics. Ethnomathematics is a realistic mathematics learning approach that bridges mathematics learning through local culture. The purpose of this research is to explore Trenggalek's Turonggo Yakso Batik Motif and to describe the mathematical concepts in Turonggo Yakso's Typical Batik elements Trenggalek. This research is a type of qualitative research using an ethnographic approach. The results of this study indicate that the characteristics of the Turanggo Yakso Typical Trenggalek Batik Motif can be implemented as a medium for learning mathematics in the following materials: flat shape, folding symmetry, rotational symmetry, angles, reflection, congruence, and congruence. AbstrakBudaya adalah hal yang unik dan dapat menjadi penciri atau identitas dari suatu daerah yang terbentuk dari kebiasaan sehari-hari. Tanpa disadari budaya berkaitan erat dengan pendidikan, salah satunya dengan mata pelajaran matematika. Hal tersebut karena budaya dapat dijadikan sebagai media pembelajaran yang dikaitkan dengan gaya belajar realistik. Budaya sebagai media pembelajaran dapat digunakan pendidik dalam proses pembelajaran terutama pada konsep matematika. Pembelajaran matematika yang dilakukan dengan pendekatan budaya disebut dengan etnomatematika. Etnomatematika merupakan pendekatan pembelajaran matematika realistik yang menjembatani pembelajaran matematika melalui budaya setempat. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengeksplorasi Batik Motif Turonggo Yakso khas Trenggalek dan mendeskripsikan konsep matematika yang ada pada unsur Batik Motif Turanggo Yakso Khas Trenggalek Penelitian ini merupakan jenis penelitian kualitatif dengan menggunakan pendekatan etnografi. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa unsur dari Batik Motif Turanggo Yakso Khas Trenggalek dapat diimplementasikan sebagai media pembelajaran matematika pada materi: bangun datar, simetri lipat, simetri putar, sudut, pencerminan, kesebangunan dan kekongruenan.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To report the outcome of locally administered antibiotic-impregnated poloxamer 407 (P407) hydrogel in dogs diagnosed with orthopedic surgical site infections (SSIs) and to identify risk factors for treatment failure.

ANIMALS
34 client-owned dogs diagnosed with an orthopedic surgical site infection treated with local antibiotic-impregnated P407 hydrogel.

PROCEDURES
Medical records were reviewed of dogs receiving antibiotic-impregnated P407 hydrogel for an active orthopedic SSI between March 2018 and December 2020. The rate of successful infection clearance was calculated. Risk factors for failed treatment were evaluated with statistical analyses.

RESULTS
34 dogs met the inclusion criteria. Vancomycin-impregnated P407 hydrogel (20 mg/mL) was implanted in all dogs. The rate of infection clearance was 77%. Each unit increase in the number of surgeries performed at a site before gel implantation decrease the chance of successful infection clearance by 25% (P = .005; unit OR, 0.25; 95% CI, 0.08 to 0.81). Presence of multidrug or methicillin resistance increased risk for treatment failure by 7.69 times (P = .042; OR, 0.13; 95% CI, 0.01 to 1.14). No adverse events related to gel administration were seen.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Treatment outcomes were negatively impacted by the presence of multidrug or methicillin resistance and by an increased number of surgeries before gel implantation. Local administration of antibiotic-impregnated P407 hydrogel had a high success rate with no adverse effects in this population. Local antibiotic gel administration may improve treatment outcomes in dogs with complicated SSI.
Ponding time, hydraulic conductivity, and sorptivity – experimental and numerical determination

Published: April 2023

Abstract
Determination of actual soil sorptivity becomes one of the research preferences in the field of soil management and flash-flood protection. This Note presents an innovative approach to soil sorptivity determination. A single ring infiltration method, along with a simulation of rainfall of constant intensity, was used to measure ponding time t
p. Hydraulic conductivity K was approximated from the analysis of the time series of the process of vertical non-steady cumulative infiltration appearing after the ponding time. Based on Philip's infiltration theory, a simple equation was derived in order to calculate sorptivity S from ponding time, rainfall intensity, and saturated hydraulic conductivity. Numerically determined results of S show to closely correspond with theoretical values published in the literature. To the best of our knowledge, this process of numerical determination of K and S has not been published so far. Moreover, unlike the traditional methods, e.g. single or double-ring in filtration experiments, this method provides more precise and representative values of S, verified by ponding time, as the results refer to the original soil sorptivity, not the sorptivity determined after the ponding time (meaning sorptivity of the fully saturated environment) which tends to reach zero. Our assumption was definitely confirmed by field experimental determination of ponding time and selected soil hydrology characteristics.
A comparative corpus-based investigation of results sections of research articles in Applied Linguistics and Physics
Authors: Parviz Muhammed 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
The present study sought to identify the generic structures of the results sections of scientific research articles (RAs) between Applied Linguistics and Physics. Following a manual search approach, a total of 200 RAs in the field of Applied Linguistics and Physics from different top prestigious journals randomly were singled out and analyzed. In addition to offering a tentative template for the rhetorical organizations of results sections, the findings revealed shared and non-shared rhetorical units as well as obligatory and optional steps in the results sections (RSs) of research articles between the disciplines. The findings also indicated that RA writers organize the contents of the RSs around certain rhetorical resources (i.e., M1, M2, M3, M4, and M5) to present key experimental and factual analytical results of their studies. The findings further suggested the existence of common core of rhetorical resources in writing RSs between the disciplines, albeit there are a set of certain steps playing an essential part in distinguishing textual features of each discipline as well as depicting how RSs of individual discipline are developed. The findings generated from the study can offer a number of important pedagogical implications for teaching EAP and ESP courses, especially for Applied Linguistics and Physics teachers and students.

Published: May 2023

Objectives:
We describe the clinical spectrum, etiology, and progression of children with post-infectious bronchiolitis obliterans (PIBO) from a low- and middle-income setting for which there is limited literature.

Materials and Methods:
A cross-sectional, retrospective, and descriptive study between November 2019 and October 2020 of all PIBO patients aged 6 months to 15 years managed at pediatric pulmonology service in Cape Town, South Africa.

Results:
Fifty-one patients with PIBO were enrolled; 78% were males, median age of 60 months (IQR 33–107). Median age at disease presentation was 6 months (IQR 3–12), 80% presented with cough; 94% required hospital admission, 92% needed supplemental oxygen therapy and 75% needed ventilatory support. Reported cigarette smoke exposure was high (47%). Adenovirus infection was the most common etiology (64%). Chest radiographic findings included lung hyperinflation (43 [84.3%]) and bronchiectasis (23 [45%]). Twenty-seven patients had spirometry and showed mixed (41% [n = 8]) or obstructive (27% [n = 12]) pattern with mean (standard deviation) forced expiratory volume in 1s (FEV1) z-score −3.3 (± 1.4), forced vital capacity (FVC) z-scores −2.4 (± 1.6), and FEV1/FVC z-score −3.1 (± 2.4). Systemic corticosteroids were used during initial presentation in 47 patients (92%). Forty-four patients (86%) required two or more subsequent hospital admissions. Improvement of symptoms was reported in 82% of patients with a mean follow-up period of 5 years. Cough (43% [n = 22]) and wheeze (39% [n = 20)]) were the most common reported current symptoms.

Conclusion:
PIBO is a recognized cause of pediatric obstructive lung disease in South African settings, with adenovirus pneumonia being the most common preceding illness. Symptoms of airway obstruction persist over time, but improvement was observed with treatment including corticosteroids.
Role of male partners in birth preparedness and complication readiness: A qualitative study
Authors: CHACKO MAYA , GEORGE LEYANNA SUSAN , RETNAKUMAR CHARUTHA 
Published: May 2023

Background
In familial and societal matters, men are the decision-makers and economic resource providers in many patriarchal societies. It is important to assess the involvement of men in birth preparedness and complication readiness (BPCR), as men act as gatekeepers to women’s health. We examined the role, motivators and barriers for participation of male partners of pregnant women in BPCR.

Methods
This qualitative study was based on the grounded theory approach. Data were collected through 29 in-depth interviews conducted among husbands (n=8), mothers (n=8), mothers-in-law (n=8), health professionals (n=5) and focus group discussions (FGDs) with pregnant women (FGD, n=3). Interviews and FGDs were transcribed; themes and sub-themes were generated and conclusions were drawn by triangulation of the data.

Results
Men were found to have a major role in BPCR. They supported their pregnant wives by maintaining their health, providing financial support and helping them in the decision-making process regarding treatment. They also provided complication readiness support by arranging transportation and facilitating the process of hospital admission.

Conclusions
Our study emphasizes how changes have occurred in the attitudes and practices over generations regarding men’s role in BPCR and their participation during delivery. However, there is a long way to go for which transference of knowledge and cultural transformation have become necessities.

Published: May 2023

Background
Systematic data on mental health issues among adults awaiting cataract treatment are not readily available in India. We explored the prevalence and predictors of depressive and generalized anxiety (GA) symptoms in a cohort of adults awaiting cataract surgery.

Methods
Our study is based on data from baseline assessments which were conducted as part of a multicentre prospective, longitudinal cohort study. Subjects were recruited from four eye hospitals to assess depression and GA and associated risk factors using standardized scales, i.e. Center for Epidemiologic Studies–Depression Scale (CES-D) and Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7). Variation in the intensity of depression and GA was assessed using multiple classification analysis (MCA).

Results
A total of 813 adults awaiting cataract surgery participated, of whom 456 (56.1%) were men. The mean (SD) CES-D and GAD-7 scores were 24.6 (7.8) and 6.3 (SD 4.2) for men and 25.8 (8.9) and 6.9 (4.4) for women, respectively. The overall prevalence of depression score of >16 was 87.4% (95% confidence interval [CI] 84.7%– 89.6%), and GA score of >10 was 57.1% (95% CI 53.5%–60.7%). The prevalence of comorbid depressive and anxiety symptoms was 56.6% (95% CI 52.9%– 60.2%). MCA showed that being neglected and mistreated by family/friends because of vision condition and facing difficulty and requiring help with daily tasks had the highest effect on the intensity of both depression (beta=0.254 and 0.238, respectively) and GA (beta=0.219 and 0.211, respectively).

Conclusion
The majority of adults with untreated cataract had both depressive and GA symptoms. These findings could be used for planning mental health interventions for adults awaiting cataract surgery.
