Authors: Choudhary Deepika , Mohan Vaishali , Varsha Arla Sai , Hegde Ajay , Menon Girish 
Published: April 2023

Background:
Neurosurgical emergencies in the obstetric setting pose considerable challenges. Decision-making involves deliberations on the gestational age, critical nature of the illness, timing of surgery, maternal positioning during neurosurgery, anesthesiologic strategies, monitoring of the pregnancy during surgery, and the mode of delivery. The present study discusses the management and ethical dilemmas encountered during the management of six obstetric patients with neurosurgical emergencies.

Methods:
A retrospective review of all neurosurgical operations performed between January 2016 and December 2022 were included in the study.

Results:
This study includes a series of six pregnant women who presented with neurosurgical emergencies, secondary to freshly diagnosed pathologies in the period 2016–2022. The mean maternal age was 31.33 years. Four of the six patients were in the third semester and two were in the second trimester. The underlying etiologies were as follows: spontaneous intracerebral hypertensive hemorrhage (1), obstructive hydrocephalus due to shunt malfunction (1), brain tumor (02), and compressive spinal cord myelopathy due to tumors (02). Three patients who were near term underwent lower cesarean section followed by emergency neurosurgical procedure in the same sitting. Two second trimester patients continued their pregnancy after the emergency neurosurgical operation. In one patient, in whom a brain tumor was diagnosed near term, underwent neurosurgery 1 week after successful cesarean section. All the six mothers and fetus recovered well, ex3cept two patients who have persisting residual deficits.

Conclusion:
Treatment of neurosurgical emergencies during pregnancy needs to be customized depending on the clinical condition of the pregnant woman, prognosis of the disease, gestational age and the status of the pregnancy. With careful planning, timely intervention, consultative decision making and it is possible to achieve the ultimate goal – which is to protect and safeguard the mother and preserve and deliver a viable fetus.

Published: April 2023

The research focuses on how to reach a mechanism that assists experts, engineers, and others in the architectural & engineering project to verify the co-existence of values and sustainability constituents in it. Research problem shows a clear lack, locally, in the interest to establish a value system and a list that cares about comprehending building components whether considering sustainable building criteria. Hypothesis shows that in order to head towards the applicable sustainable approach of buildings, then a local assessment system should be established to evaluate buildings during its life cycle, and from which buildings would be categorized as sustainable or not. Research aims at establishing main and general concepts that form the basis for more accurate assessment elements and details that have weights and credits to reach assessment scores that enables recognizing if the building or the project considers environmental sustainability requirements, in addition to submitting special recommendations that provide the capability of establishing an integrated usable assessment system used by experts and others.
The research adopts the following methodology in order to obtain and reaches this list: a comprehensive and thorough study for the main international assessment systems; a study for certain research and papers involved in the assessment topic; inspecting practices of sustainability-related consultancy professional work. All this to determine the constituents of rating and evaluation of the engineering project items and components. Moreover, research adopts a methodology that considers local recognition in terms of social and climatic environment and geographical factors.
Research reaches the formation of a general framework that is compromised from general and secondary indicators for the local assessment system, and these indicators could be expanded to include the building entire life cycle.

Published: April 2023

In this study, we consider the system of second order nonlinear boundary value problems (BVPs). We focus on the numerical solutions of
different types of nonlinear BVPs by Galerkin finite element method (GFEM). First of all, we originate the generalized formulation of GFEM for those type of problems. Then we determine the approximate solutions of a couple of second order nonlinear BVPs by GFEM. The approximate results are unfolded in tabuler form and portrayed graphically along with the exact solutions. Those results demonstrate the applicability, compatibility and accuracy of this scheme.

Published: April 2023

South Africa can be referred to as a thriving democracy with explicit separation of powers between the legislative (national and provincial parliaments, including municipal councils), executive (national and provincial cabinets, including municipal councils), and judicial authorities. Its governance landscape has been transformed into three distinctive spheres of government with national, provincial and local governments executing their respective constitutional mandates in the spirit of cooperative governance; independent yet interrelated. This paper attempts to capture an overview of the third tier of governance in South Africa, namely municipal local government, with a focus on the agenda of developmental local government.

AbstractOne of the successes in learning is the student’s interest and the teacher’s skill in delivering material.Students of SMPN 2 Sumbermanjing Wetan, Christian Religious Education class are assumed to be less interesed in Christian Religious study. This can be showed from their attitudes such as being lazy in doing assignment, not pay attention to the teacher who teaches, but talking to themselves with their friends, often having permission to the toilet, considering Christian religious lesson is not important, because these lessons are often obstained at home or at the church.The purpose of this research is to find out whether the students of SMPN 2 Sumbermanjing Wetan understand the meaning of interest in learning, to know the condition of their interest in learning, and to find out the causes and solutions so that they can be interested in the subject of Christian Religious EducationThis research uses qualitative method with an intrinsic case study approach because the researcher wants to understand this case in all its specificity and simplicityThe results obstained from observations, interviews, and existing documents show that SMPN 2 students understand the meaning og interest in learning. The constraints come from students (less enthusiastic, unstable). The other constraints are religion classroom with capacity of 30 filled more than 30 .There is no fan in the class, the hot air make them discomfort.Lesson conducted at noon between 10.50 – 12.50 and the lack of supporting facilities such LCD which are limited , so the teacher is not always able to use this facility To overcome this situation , teacher creativity is needed in in teaching. Class can divided in groups , giving group assigments that can be done outside the classroom, still encouraging or give motivation to the students, providing guidance or conseling outside of teaching hours. The coorperation among students, teachers, and school principal ai also needed and spiritual guidance teacher in spurring student interest in learning
Estudio de envolventes dinámicas para mejorar el confort acústico. Caso de estudio campus UCACUE
Authors: Armijos Torres Pedro Andrés , Avila Calle Marco Benigno 
Published: April 2023

Introducción. Una de las causas que ha cobrado fuerza en la actualidad debido a los efectos que genera en la calidad de vida de las personas, es la contaminación acústica; misma que está presente en todas las actividades cotidianas, como son: estudio, trabajo, hogar, teatros, restaurantes, calles, parques, entre otros. El sentido de la audición al igual que el de la vista, representa una conexión fundamental para estar informado de los acontecimientos del entorno, ya que está en alerta permanente inclusive cuando dormimos. El confort acústico es una sensación subjetiva de bienestar, propia de cada persona y depende de diversos factores como, por ejemplo: la actividad que se realiza en un determinado momento, así como el ambiente sonoro existente en el lugar. Por otra parte, la sensación de incomodidad acústica se produce cuando un ambiente sonoro no es el adecuado para la actividad de los ocupantes, esto a más de generar un malestar orgánico, puede producir un malestar intelectual y como consecuencia, una alteración emocional. Objetivo. El presente estudio se centra en el impacto de la aplicación de envolventes dinámicas en el edificio de la Unidad Académica de Ingeniería, Industria y Construcción de la Universidad Católica de Cuenca. Metodología. Con la metodología utilizada, se pretende innovar el diseño arquitectónico, mediante el análisis, simulación y empleo de materiales amigables con el medio ambiente, a través del desarrollo de envolventes dinámicas tridimensionales que se fusionen con la fachada y en conjunto, mejoren las condiciones de confort acústico en el interior de las edificaciones. Resultados. Obtener un prototipo digital de envolvente dinámica en fachadas con el fin de reducir el ruido ambiental generado por el tráfico vehicular de la Avenida de las Américas. Conclusión. Los prototipos de envolventes dinámicas constituyen un aporte para las edificaciones educativas, reduciendo el ruido del tráfico en un 28% con paneles de material reciclado que podemos encontrar en nuestra ciudad.

Background and aimDuring the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, nationwide lockdowns caused disruption in the diets, physical activities, and lifestyles of patients with type 2 diabetes. Previous reports on the possible association between race/ethnicity, COVID-19, and mortality have shown that Hispanic/Latino patients with type 2 diabetes who are socioeconomically disadvantaged are disproportionately affected by this novel virus. The aim of this study was to explore stressors associated with changes in diabetes self-management behaviors. Our goal was to highlight the health disparities in these vulnerable racial/ethnic minority communities and underscore the need for effective interventions.Methods and participantsParticipants were enrolled in part of a larger randomized controlled trial to compare diabetes telehealth management (DTM) with comprehensive outpatient management (COM) in terms of critical patient-centered outcomes among Hispanic/Latino patients with type 2 diabetes. We conducted a thematic analysis using patient notes collected from two research nurses between March 2020 and March 2021. Two authors read through the transcripts independently to identify overarching themes. Once the themes had been identified, both authors convened to compare themes and ensure that similar themes were identified within the transcripts. Any discrepancies were discussed by the larger study team until a consensus was reached.ResultsSix themes emerged, each of which can be categorized as either a source or an outcome of stress. Sources of stress associated with the COVID-19 pandemic were (1) fear of contracting COVID-19, (2) disruptions from lockdowns, and (3) financial stressors (e.g., loss of income). Outcomes of COVID-19 stressors were (1) reduced diabetes management (e.g., reduced diabetes monitoring and physical activity), (2) suboptimal mental health outcomes (e.g., anxiety and depression), and (3) outcomes of financial stressors.ConclusionThe findings indicated that underserved Hispanic/Latino patients with type 2 diabetes encountered a number of stressors that led to the deterioration of diabetes self-management behaviors during the pandemic.

Introduction: Ablation therapy is a commonly used tool in the management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). After ablation, dying cancer cells release a variety of substances that trigger subsequent immune responses. Immunogenic cell death (ICD) has been a trending topic in recent years and has been discussed many times along with oncologic chemotherapy. However, the subject of ablative therapy and ICDs has been little discussed. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether ablation treatment induces ICD in HCC cells and whether different types of ICDs arise because of different ablation temperatures.Methods: Four different HCC cell lines (H22, Hepa-16, HepG2 and SMMC7221) were cultured and treated under different temperatures (−80°C, −40°C, 0°C, 37°C, and 60°C). Cell Counting Kit-8 assay was performed to analyze the viability of different cell lines. Apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry assay, and a few ICD-related cytokines (calreticulin, ATP, high mobility group box 1, and CXCL10) were detected by immunofluorescence or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results: The apoptosis rate of all kinds of cells increased significantly in −80°C group (p &lt; 0.01) and 60°C group (p &lt; 0.01). The expression levels of ICD-related cytokines were mostly significantly different between the different groups. For calreticulin, Hepa1-6 cells and SMMC7221 cells showed significantly higher protein expression levels in 60°C group (p &lt; 0.01) and significantly lower protein expression levels −80°C group (p &lt; 0.01). The ATP, high mobility group box 1 and CXCL10 expression levels were significantly higher in 60°C, −80°C and −40°C group of all four cell lines (p &lt; 0.01).Conclusion: Different ablative treatments could induce different types of ICDs in HCC cells, providing a promising track for the development of individualized cancer therapies.

BackgroundMyxomas are the most common primary cardiac tumors. Intracardiac myxomas, although benign, could cause serious consequences such as tricuspid or mitral valve obstruction, hemodynamic collapse, and acute heart failure, which pose challenges during anesthetic management. The current study was designed to summarize the anesthetic management of patients undergoing cardiac myxoma resection.MethodsThis study was performed retrospectively from the perioperative period of patients who underwent myxoma resection. Patients were divided into two groups according to whether the myxoma prolapsed into the ventricle (group O) or not (group N) to evaluate the impact of tricuspid or mitral valve with obstruction.Results110 patients, aged 17–78 years, undergoing cardiac myxoma resection between January 2019 and December 2021 were collected, and their perioperative characteristics were recorded. In the preoperative evaluation, common clinical symptoms included dyspnea and palpitation, whereas embolic events occurred in 8 patients, including 5 (4.5%) cerebral thromboembolic events, 2 (1.8%) femoral artery, and 1 (0.9%) obstructive coronary artery. According to the echocardiography, left atrial myxoma was detected in 104 (94.5%) patients, the average dimension of myxoma was 4.03 cm ± 1.52 cm in the largest diameter, and 48 patients were divided into group O. During intraoperative anesthetic management, hemodynamic instability occurred in 38 (34.5%) patients after anesthesia induction. More patients in group O had hemodynamic instability (47.9% vs. 24.2%, p = 0.009) than in group N. The mean postoperative length of stay in the hospital was 10.64 ± 3.01 days, and most of the patients made an uneventful postoperative recovery.ConclusionsAnesthetic management for myxoma resection can be composed by assessing the myxoma, particularly the echocardiography evaluation and preventing cardiovascular instability. Typically, tricuspid or mitral valve with obstruction is a premier ingredient in anesthetic management.

BackgroundTrees are critical components of rural and urban ecosystems throughout the world. While they have adapted to the historic conditions of their native environments, climate change, urbanization, and human-assisted range expansion may test the storm resiliency of many tree species.ObjectiveIn this global multilingual scoping review, we investigate a range of intrinsic (i.e., tree characteristics) and external (i.e., environmental and management) factors which have been used to predict tree failure during tropical cyclones.DesignWe searched online databases and journals in English, Chinese, French, Japanese, Portuguese, and Spanish to find peer-reviewed papers and dissertations. We retained papers that used ground-based methods to study tree damage following a tropical cyclone and conducted a statistical analysis of factors that influence tree resistance to damage. From each paper we extracted details of study methods, and the relationships between damage and predictors.ResultsOur efforts generated 65 peer-reviewed papers and dissertations that met our final criteria for inclusion (i.e., data on the relative proportion of trees failed/intact as assessed no more than a year after the storm event). Of these papers 37 independent variables were assessed to predict tree failure. Research in both urban and rural settings tends to be concentrated in regions frequently impacted by tropical cyclones. Characteristics of species such as wood density have been studied in rural environments and are also relevant predictors for tree failure in urban trees. Environmental characteristics unique to urban settings such as planting areas surrounded by pavement need further research. Several urban studies demonstrate that risk assessment methods can predict tree failure during a storm.ConclusionResults can be used by future storm researchers to identify both predictors may warrant inclusion in their models as well as predictors which have yet to be tested. Results can also inform planning and activities that can mitigate tropical cyclone damage to the urban forest.
