Authors: Mohamed Sitti Sulhoon , Taib Fahisham , Ibrahim Nor Rosidah , Van Rostenberghe Hans , Ramli Noraida 
Published: January 2023

Introduction: The latest Cochrane review supported high-position umbilical artery catheters (UAC) as it led to fewer complications and reduced the need for replacement or re-insertion of the catheters. However, the studies included were dated more than three decades ago. Objectives: To determine the safety (short-term complications) of UAC in the newborn at two different positions. Methods: A randomized control trial was performed from March 2012 to August 2013, among the newborns requiring UAC insertion in Neonatal Intensive Care, at Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia. Patients were randomly assigned to either high or low UAC positions using block randomization. Outcomes: The primary outcomes were the incidence of aortic thrombosis, intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH), necrotising enterocolitis, hypertension, haematuria and feeding intolerance. The secondary outcome was to compare the incidence of short-term outcomes of UAC position to gestational age and birth weight. Results: One hundred and seventy-eight patients were included (89 per study arm). The mean gestational age was 34 weeks with a mean birth weight of 2.31 kg. There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of baseline data. The overall incidence of complications was 20 (23%) in the low position and 18 (20%) in the high position group UAC (p=0.76). The observed complications between the low and high position UAC group: IVH 6.7% vs. 9%, p=0.58; feeding intolerance 6.7% vs. 4%, p=0.51; hypertension 4% vs. 6%, p=0.51; peripheral ischemic 2% vs. 0%, p=0.25. Conclusion: This study showed that the rate of complications in the low UAC position was comparable with the high UAC position.
Perception of students about Team-based learning (TBL) Problem-based learning (PBL)
Authors: Malik Khizar Ansar , Shakeel Maria 
Published: January 2023

Introduction: Medical teaching has evolved over the past few years, from traditional teaching methods such as lectures and practical classes using blackboard, slide projector to more student-centered activities such as self-directed learning,problem-based learning (PBL), and team-based learning (TBL) Problem based learning is an integral part of our MBBS curriculum. We introduced TBL to 2nd-year MBBS students in the Pharmacology department, who are also practicing PBB in the 2nd year.
Objective: The study aimed to know students’ perceptions about TBL and PBL.
Methods: Students were asked to anonymously fill the questionnaire regarding each teaching strategy using both open and closed-ended questions. The data were analyzed by using SPSS version 21.
Results: A total of 120 students filled the questionnaire regarding their perception of TBL, and 94 students filled the questionnaire regarding PBL. Students found the readiness assurance tests and immediate feedback useful for their learning in TBL. While for PBL, students found that group members respected different points of view, and there is better integration among different disciplines.
Conclusion: It is the need of the hour to include new strategies in our curriculum which promote teamwork and effective communication skills. Both PBL and TBL have advantages of their own and can provide better student learning if incorporated in a medical curriculum, keeping in view the students’ responses in our study.

Emotional Intelligence and perceived stress against the backdrop of the Covid-19 Pandemic among students of a medical college in Pakistan: A cross-sectional correlational study
Authors: Cheema Saleha 
Published: January 2023

Introduction:There is scant knowledge about emotional intelligence and pandemic perceived stress scores of medical students in Pakistan. The Covid-19 Pandemic has underscored the reality of a myriad of problems in medical education, academic stress amongst them. This study aims to find the corelation between emotional intelligence and pandemic perceived stress scores of students in a medical college in Pakistan. Socio-demographic factors are used tofind possible correlations and divergences between pandemic perceived stress scores and emotional intelligence in undergraduate medical students.
Objective:The primary objectives are an exploration of the demographic attributes of participants, an assessment of students’ levels of perceived stress during the COVID-19 pandemic and emotional intelligence, and an exploration of a correlation between pandemic perceived stress scores and emotional intelligence
Methods:The present study utilizes a descriptive, cross-sectional, correlational design. A convenience sample of 86 medical students in the first and second years of MBBS were recruited for the study. The participants completed a self-report questionnaire, covering three sections: demographic factors, pandemic perceived stress (the Perceived Stress Scale) and, emotional intelligence (the MindTools test).
Results:The results demonstrated that majority of the participants (86%) had an average level of emotional intelligence. Only 14% had high levels of emotional intelligence. A negative non-significant correlation was noted between Pandemic perceived stress scores and emotional intelligence. While a significant difference (P< 0.01) was noted between the Pandemic perceived stress scores of males and females, with females exhibiting more stress than males. A slightly less significant difference (P<0.05) for Pandemic perceived stress was also found between students of first and second years medical students. Second year students were observed to exhibit greater stress.
Conclusion:The study findings demonstrate that emotional intelligence does not significantly differ by educational year or gender while greater levels of Pandemic perceived stress was noted to differ across genders and educational years. However, lower levels of Pandemic perceived stress were associated with higher (although non-significant) levels of emotional intelligence. It is thus, important to impart pertinent information about emotional intelligence to medical students. It is also essential to teach them to identify and therefore, overcome stressors. Information and guidance about stress and emotional intelligence should be incorporated into the curricula of health-related fields.

Preliminary report on the Silver content of soils in Northeastern Wisconsin July-August 1977
Authors: Norman Jack C. 
Published: January 2023

..These studies have led to the conclusion that silver iodide used for cloud seeding poses no immediate threat to either people or the ecosystem in general. However, since most of the data have been obtained over the relatively short time span of the last decade and in limited geographical regions (the most extensive work has been done in the Rocky Mountain states), it seems prudent to monitor weather modification activities when they are extended into new areas.....
On the environmental impact of Dry Ice (Solid Carbon Dioxide) used as a seeding agent in Weather Modification
Authors: Norman Jack C. 
Published: January 2023

On January 1978, a hearing was held by the Wisconsin State Assembly Agricluture Committee which considered a bill to prohibit weather modification in Wisconsin. A statement was made during this hearing which suggested that if dry ice were to be used as a seeding agent in northeastern Wisconsin, it would have a detrimental effect on the health of at least one resident of that region.... The statement which suggests that using dry ice as a seeding agent would have an effect on people, even persons who are particularly sensitive to environmental changes, has no basis in fact. In fact, holding one’s breath for a few seconds or breathing the air near a glass of soda pop or beer would have a much greater effect on carbon dioxide concentrations than clouds seeding with dry ice.
Variations in Rainfall and Insured Crop-Hail Losses Associated with Operational Cloud Seeding in South Dakota
Authors: Dennis Arnett S. , Brown Barbara G. 
Published: January 2023

A brief review of operational cloud seeding programs in South Dakota is given, followed by an evaluation on the basis of rainfalldata and insured crop-hail loss data for the years 1948-1978. All of the projects used silver iodide as the seeding agent, but a wide variety of generator types, seeding rates, and delivery methods was used. In years w.ith aircraft seeding over small areas, both rainfall and hail damage tended to be larger in target than in non-target counties. The data available do not show such a trend for years when ground-based generators were employed. In years when 40%or more of the state was seeded, the results for target and non-target counties becameindistinguishable in terms of both rainfall and crop hail damage. However, increases in the area included in cloud seeding programs, using either ground based or airborne generators, were associated with an apparent net hail suppression effect, extending over the entire state. The rainfall data do not display such a trend.

A long series of ground-based salt seeding experiments in north India during the southwest monsoonseasons (June-September) of 1957-66 showed significant increases of about 20 percent in rainfall on seeded days (Ramana Murty and Biswas, 1968). In September of 1974, salt seeding from aircraft on isolated maritime warm cumulus clouds within 50 km off the coast at Bombay(18 15’N, 72v 49’D, II m ASL) was followed by increases in radar echo area coverage in the vertical and in echo intensity (Chatterjee et al., 1978). seek similar results in a different area, a randomized salt-seeding experiment, using a single ground-based generator, was conducted in 1973 and 1975-77 just west of Madras, on the Bengal coast 1,000 km southeast of Bombay. There in the state of Tamil Nadu, South India, the main rainy season is during the northeast monsoon(Oct-Dec), whereas in most parts of India, about 75 percent of the annual rainfall is received during the southwest monsoon(Ananthakrishnan, 1977).
Twenty Seasons of Airborne Hail Suppression In Alberta, Canada
Authors: Gilbert Daniel B. , Boe Bruce A. , Krauss Terrence W. 
Published: January 2023

After a catastrophic late-season hailstorm hit the Calgary, Alberta, metropolitan area in September 1991, causing about half a billion dollars (Canadian) in damage, the property and casualty insurance industry began actively seeking ways to actively mitigate hail damage. After nearly four years of intensive study and intra-industry negotiation, the Alberta Severe Weather Management Society (ASWMS) was born. The ASWMS was and is comprised of representatives of all the insurance companies making up >90% market share in southern Alberta, and through levies based on their market share, annually fund an airborne cloud seeding program having the exclusive purpose of reducing damaging hailfalls in metropolitan areas, the Alberta Hail Suppression Project (AHSP). Beginning in 1996, this program has become an annual endeavor conducted from June through mid-September. This paper summarizes the current structure and operations of the AHSP, and through radar data compares seeded and unseeded storms that occurred on 21 July 2015, one of the most active days of the 2015 storm season.
Indications of Downwind Cloud Seeding Effects in Utah
Authors: Yorty David 
Published: January 2023

Estimation of effects on precipitation downwind (or “extra-area effects”) of a long-standing winter operational snowpack augmentation project in central and southern Utah mountainous areas was originally conducted in a 2003 study. The study utilized a target/control linear regression technique, which has been used to estimate the seasonal effects of cloud seeding within the program’s intended target area. The results of the original study have been updated through the 2018 water year. Seeded target area analyses of December-March high elevation (NRCS SNOTEL) precipitation data for this program indicate an overall season-average increase of about 12% for 41 seeded seasons. Estimations of downwind seeding effects were made for individual stations and various distance bands downwind as far as 100+ miles. The analyses suggest increases of similar percentages to those for the target, expressed as ratio values to the natural precipitation amounts, extending as far as 100 miles downwind (approximately the Utah/Colorado border area). At approximately 100 miles downwind, the area-averaged ratio values (observed divided by predicted values) approach 1.0, suggesting a lack of any significant seeding effect at these distances. Expressed as average-depth precipitation amounts, the target area precipitation increase from seeding is likely about 1.3” of additional water, with much lesser total precipitation increases in the much drier downwind area within 100 miles, trending to 0 beyond this distance. Although variability of the individual downwind station results remains high, the updated results are in good overall agreement with those of the original (2003) study.

Spousal Sexual Abuse: The Worst of Domestic Violence
Authors: Romana Bano  
Published: January 2023

Objective is to seek public perception about spousal sexual abuse now in many part of the world known as spousal rape or marital rape. Marital rape is simply the sexual act without the implied or expressed consent of spouse. This paper addresses the element of marital rape in two local communities - Lyari and Clifton, in the city of Karachi, Pakistan. The topic is not new but the acceptability is; mostly people avoid discussing such taboos in the public, for them rape doesn’t exist in the marital life. To find out the true picture, we have conducted a qualitative survey the methodology that we are following is qualitative survey of general public married spouses from two areas and the public servants those deal with this phenomenon in their capacities including the lawyers, religious scholars, and non-profit organizers. Our sample size is 200 concerned individuals and is equally divided in two areas. We opted a random sampling method based on qualitative research to reach the target audience in both the localities with an assumption to find the real deal. Our research is based on the volunteering response of the people regarding the concerned query, not to trigger or force people to share their respective experience/s. Instruments of research are questioners filled in by spouses from both areas. Hypothesis were tested using the method of Z-Testing. The study will help us to clarify the public perception about unconsented sexual intercourse or spousal sexual harassment or marital rape.
