Abstract
Background
Current practice of offering fertility preservation counseling and treatment has become one of the focal points in patient care throughout cancer treatment. The turning point was the approval of the Council of Senior Religious Scholars four years ago to freeze tissues from the ovarian membrane, the entire ovary, and the eggs for later use in reproduction to preserve the offspring. Thus, we aimed to assess any development in oncologists' knowledge, attitude, and referral practices toward fertility preservation (FP) in Saudi Arabia.
Results
Most oncologists showed superior knowledge and positive attitudes toward FP; however, their referral practices could be better. Most were familiar with FP options. The most significant factors influencing the oncologist-patient FP discussion were the number of existing children (96.6%), marital status, cost, and type of cancer (76.7%, 65.7%, and 58.9 respectively).
Conclusions
There is a significant improvement in the knowledge and attitude of oncologists toward FP. However, patients' counseling and referral to fertility services still need to be improved. There is a shortfall in the clinical practice guidelines for FP in cancer patients in Saudi Arabia. The implementation of clinical practice guidelines would enhance FP. However, patients' counseling and referral to fertility services still need to be improved.

Abstract
Development of advanced pest control methods that do not rely on insecticides is an important issue for sustainable agriculture. Particularly with regards to micro pests that are not only highly resistant to various insecticides but also because we are running out of options for which insecticide to use against them, resulting in enormous economic damage worldwide. Here we report that the effectiveness of the conventional insect net can be greatly advanced by changing their color to red that helps significantly reduce pesticide use. We demonstrate the red effect using Onion thrips, Thrips tabaci a main vector of Iris Yellow Spot Virus (IYSV) and Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus (TSWV) that cause serious damage to various vegetables. New red nets succeeded in suppressing the invasion rates and damages (white spots on the leaves) in a Welsh onion greenhouse with minimum use of pesticides. We discuss how red nets are compatible with labor-saving, sustainable agriculture and the future potential of “optical pest control” based on insect color vision and its behavioral response.
Modelling and analysis of a continuous rotor system Part II: Analyzing the effect of nonlinearities on the system dynamics
Authors: Malgol Amit , Jayaprakash Aryan Y , P Vineesh K , Saha Ashesh 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The nonlinear analysis of a continuous rotor system (CRS) is performed in this paper. The CRS model is derived with the inclusion of some important factors, like the gyroscopic effect, the rotary inertia of disc and shaft, large shaft deformation, and constraint to the axial motion of the shaft at the bearing ends. The entire derivation is explained in the first part (Part I) of this two-part article. The nonlinear system is analysed in this second part. Method of multiple scales is applied to obtain the autonomous amplitude and phase equations for simultaneous resonance conditions. Comparison of the analytical and numerical results yield a close match. Localized and nonlocalized oscillations are examined. Linear stability analysis is performed to assess the stability of steady-state solutions. Expressions for critical value of a parameter along both directions are derived to determine the emergence of limit points (LPs). A comprehensive parametric analysis is conducted to investigate the impact of various system parameters on the system dynamics. To examine the nature of vibration of CRS, time-response, phase-plane, amplitude-frequency, and phase-frequency diagrams are plotted. Various intriguing non-linear phenomena such as multivalued solutions, multiple loops, and multiple jump phenomena are observed.
Modelling and analysis of a continuous rotor systemPart I: Derivation of governing equations and analysis of linear system

Published: June 2023

Abstract
In this paper, a continuous rotor system is modelled by considering some critical factors, like the gyroscopic and rotary inertia effects of disc and shaft cross-sections, large shaft deformation, and restriction to shaft axial motion at the bearings. The bearings are replaced by springs along horizontal and vertical directions. Governing partial differential equations (PDE’s) for the vibrations of the disc along the horizontal and vertical directions are derived by employing the Hamiltonian principle. The governing equation is then transformed into a set of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using method of modal projection. The large deformation and restriction to axial motion of the shaft yields nonlinearities in the system governing equations. Only the linear system is analysed in this first part. The parameters in the dimensionless form of the governing equations are functions of some independent variables which are associated to the material and geometrical properties of the rotor system. Understanding the effect of the system properties on the response characteristics will lead to an appropriate design. Exact analytical solutions for the motion along horizontal and vertical directions are obtained. The effect of the independent parameters on the system dynamics are analysed wherein the variation of the dependent parameters are also monitored. The system dynamics are explored using time-displacement responses, phase-plane plots, frequency response diagrams, phase angle plots and Campbell diagrams.

Abstract
Purpose
Oscheius tipulae has attracted attention of researchers due to its entomopathogenic character besides serving as a good model for studying development, behaviour, and host-parasite interactions. The main aim of the study is to describe a new isolate O. tipulae first time from India. The study also resolved the exact status of the two species viz., O. siddiqii and O. niazensis described by Tabassum and Shahina (2010) from Pakistan.
Methods
The relationship of the new isolate with congeners was ascertained by D2/D3-based phylogenetic analysis. A haplotype network was also constructed along with the phylogeography of the taxa to evaluate the degree of divergence within the species, and their worldwide distribution. To examine the congruency between morphological and molecular traits, a morphology-based phylogenetic tree was also constructed.
Results
The present paper deals with the integrative approach of taxonomy of O. tipulae reported first time from India. The new isolate of O. tipulae extracted from darkling beetle (Tenebrionidae), from Jammu and Kashmir was re-described using morphological and molecular data. The study also revealed that the species O. siddiqii Tabassum and Shahina, 2010 and O. niazensis Tabassum and Shahina, 2010 are similar and close to O. shamimi Tahseen and Nisa, 2006 except the dissimilar lip morphology of O. niazensis Tabassum and Shahina, 2010 which needed reconfirmation based on the type specimens.

Abstract

Background
Many studies have explored the clinicopathological features and prognosis between colorectal mucinous adenocarcinoma (MAC) and adenocarcinoma (AC) and have given different results. This meta-analysis summarizes previous evidence and evaluates the clinicopathological and prognostic features of MAC relative to AC in colorectal cancers (CRCs).
Methods
The meta-analysis was conducted by searching the databases of PubMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), WANFANG data, Embase, and Web of Science. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) and hazard ratios (HRs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to assess the clinicopathological and prognostic differences between MAC and AC.
Results
56 studies involving 803157 patients met the inclusion criteria and were included in this meta-analysis. The clinicopathological features of MAC were greatly different from AC, except for lymphatic invasion (OR = 1.07, 95% CI: 0.99–1.15, P = 0.09) and perineural invasion (OR = 0.92, 95% CI: 0.79–1.06, P = 0.09). Further investigation found that MAC predicted poor OS (HR = 1.04, 95% CI: 1.03–1.04, P < 0.01), but not DFS in CRCs (HR = 1.01,95% CI: 0.88–1.17, P = 0.85). Subgroup analysis found that MAC was obviously correlated with OS in patients with different recruitment time, with tumor located in rectum, from different regions, with different sample sizes and with TNM stage in II, and calculated by different data types(P < 0.01).
Conclusions
This study shows that MAC displays obviously different clinicopathological features compared with AC. And MAC has a poor OS relative to AC but the DFS was comparable.

Abstract
This study investigates the correlation between previous coal mine safety policies and accidents in China. Data on coal mine accidents and government regulatory information from 2008 to 2021 are collected. The characteristics of coal mine accidents are analyzed, and safety policy indexes are identified. An ordinary least squares (OLS) regression model is established to quantitatively analyze the correlation between accidents and safety policy. The study finds that safety policies have some impact on accident occurrence in coal mines. Although there has been a decrease in accidents and deaths over time, higher mortality rates are observed during periods of increased production intensity and on weekends. Gas accidents are the most common, followed by roof and flood accidents. The study concludes that national safety policies with wider coverage and a stronger system are effective in preventing accidents, but caution should be exercised to avoid reduced vigilance with decreasing death rates.

Abstract
Background There is a lack of robust data on the utility of chest ultrasound scans (CUS) for triage and screening for pediatric TB. Therefore, we set out to compare CUS findings to chest radiography (CXR), which is the recommended imaging modality in children with presumptive PTB.Methods Eighty children up to 14 years of age with presumptive TB had a CUS and CXR performed by two separate radiologists, who looked for the presence of consolidation, lymphadenopathy and pleural effusion on both modalities. These were compared using Fisher’s exact test for independence to determine whether there was a significant difference in the findings between the two modalities. Cohen's kappa coefficient was used to calculate the inter-reader agreement between CXR and CUS. The following interpretations of the results were used: less than zero, no agreement; 0 to 0.20 slight agreement, 0.21 to 0.40 fair agreement, 0.41 to 0.60 moderate agreement, 0.61 to 0.80, substantial agreement and 0.81 to 1, almost perfect agreement. STATA version 15 was used for analysis.Results The proportion of children with abnormal findings (consolidation, lymphadenopathy and pleural effusions) on CUS was 65% (52/80) and 81.3% (65/80) on CXR. 62.5% (33/52) of those with abnormal findings on CUS and 51.3% (33/65) on CXR were likely to have TB. The overall inter-reader agreement for these characteristics was moderate (κ-0.42).Conclusion CUS detected more abnormalities in children with suspected TB. Overall, the findings were comparable to those of CXR, except for lymphadenopathy. Ultrasound is a promising screening and triage tool for treating pediatric TB. However, there is a need to compare the CUS with the gold standard.
Road Safety and its Effect on the Accident Rate in Santiago De Cali (2005 to March 2023)
Authors: Chate Dainer Orlando Cruz 
Published: June 2023

Abstract

Objective. Examines the impact between road prevention and accidents (According to article 2 of the National Traffic Code Law 769 of 2002, a traffic accident is defined as: a generally involuntary event, generated by at least one moving vehicle, which causes damage to people and property involved in it and also affects the normal circulation of vehicles that move along the road or roads included in the place or within the area of influence of the event) in Cali, specifically, analyzing the influence of sanctions for violations of traffic regulations on the occurrence of road accidents with victims. Methods. The effects produced by the sanctions for infractions to traffic regulations in drivers, men and women, taking into account their ages, on their road accident rate where they were victims when driving on the roads of Santiago de Cali were analyzed. The effect generated by lifeguard cameras (SAST - Automatic, semi-automatic systems and other technological means for the detection of infringements, regulated by Law 1843 of July 14, 2017) on road accidents was also analyzed. Results. The number of summonses imputed to the driver affects the number of accidents with an approximate increase of 2.07%. Young drivers increase their risk of being a victim of a road accident by 470.68%, while older drivers reduce their risk by almost 100%. Male drivers are 0.9% more likely to be victims of road accidents than women. Drivers penalized through lifeguard cameras represent an effect towards the decrease of 1.07% of being involved as a victim of a road accident. Conclusions. The road prevention actions carried out by the Special District of Santiago de Cali, through the imposition of subpoenas for violation of traffic signals are related to the number of road accidents in which drivers are implicated as victims, especially those sanctions originating from life-saving cameras (SAST mechanisms). Such a relationship has been generating a positive impact in the reduction of road events, as well as in the risks of drivers being injured or killed when avoiding good conduct. Drivers between the ages of 20 and 45 are the most prone to road risks with injury or death and, furthermore, more than half of them were involved in road accidents without having registered any preventive sanction.

Abstract
Objective
Patients with abnormal cervical cancer screening and pathologically diagnosed as LSIL by colposcopic biopsy had a risk of missed diagnosis of HSIL+. To explore the possible risk factors of missed diagnosis of HSIL + in patients with LSIL diagnosed by colposcopic biopsy. Having a predictive model may help to reduce the rate of missed diagnosis.
Methods
The retrospective single-center study involved 505 patients with LSIL diagnosed by colposcopic biopsy and treated with surgery. The enrolled patients were divided into a training set and a validation set. Logistic regression was used to establish a predictive model which generated risk scores for missed diagnosis HSIL+. The model was a nomogram and was assessed with goodness of fit test,calibration and decision curves.
Results
HPV16/18 infection (OR 2.071; 95%CI 1.039–4.127;p = 0.039), TCT ≥ ASC-H(OR 4.147; 95%CI 1.392–12.355༛p = 0.011), TZ3 (OR 1.966; 95%CI 1.003–3.853༛p = 0.049) and Colposcopic impression G2 (OR 3.627; 95%CI 1.350–9.743; p = 0.011) were the independent risk factors for missed diagnosis of HSIL+. The nomogram model based on these factors had a high predictive value, which was internal validated(AUC:0.747(95% CI: 0.672–0.822)) and external validation(AUC:0.83 (95%CI༚0.716–0.944)). Calibration suggested good coherence between training set and validation set. Decision curve analysis also suggested the model had high clinical practical value.
Conclusion
HPV16/18 infection, TCT ≥ ASC-H, TZ3 and colposcopic impression G2 were independent risk factors for patients preoperative with LSIL missed diagnosis of HSIL+, and the nomogram model based on these factors had good guiding value in helping clinicians to avoid missed diagnosis of HSIL + and overtreatment of LSIL.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Natriuretic peptides (NP) are recognized as the most powerful predictors of adverse outcomes in heart failure (HF). We hypothesized that a measure of functional limitation, as assessed by six-minute walking test (6MWT), would improve the accuracy of a prognostic model incorporating a NP. We studied the prognostic value of severe functional impairment (SFI), defined as the inability to perform a 6MWT or a distance walked during a 6MWT <300 m, in 1696 patients with HF admitted to cardiac rehabilitation. The primary outcome was 1-year all-cause mortality. After adjusting for the baseline multivariable risk model -including age, sex, systolic blood pressure, moderate-to-severe anemia, renal dysfunction, sodium level, and NT-proBNP- or for the MAGGIC score, SFI had an odds ratio of 2.58 (95% CI 1.72-3.88; p <.001) and 3.12 (95% CI 2.16-4.52; p<.001), respectively. Adding SFI to the baseline risk model or the MAGGIC score yielded a significant improvement in discrimination and risk classification, with the majority of the patients with events being reclassified upwards. Our data suggest that a simple, 6MWT-derived measure of SFI is a strong predictor of death and provide incremental prognostic information over well-established risk markers in HF, including a NP, and over the MAGGIC score.
Becoming a Podiatrist: an exploration of the practices and processes which underpin the acquisition of a professional identity
Authors: Tobbell Jane , Roberts Peter 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Background Undergraduate podiatry degrees are designed to enable students to become professional podiatrists. To be successful students must manage academic and practical activity to ultimately acquire a professional identity. Little is known about the practices and processes which underpin the acquisition of a professional podiatry identity and it is the aim of this paper to begin to address this absence of knowledge. Community of Practice theory, arguably the dominant contemporary learning theory, represents identity shift as an interaction of imagination, engagement and alignment which enables students to successfully participate in the higher education, and ultimately, the professional context. This success is underpinned through assisting students to develop and exercise agency in their learning and doing.Methods Here we present findings that emerged from a yearlong ethnography in a successful higher education podiatry department. The project followed students and staff in the classroom and the clinic and explored their experiences through interviews.Results The findings suggest that the journey to professional identity is facilitated through meaningful learning relationships between staff and students and clarity around professional practices. Here we discuss how those relationships form and enable undergraduates to become podiatrists.

Abstract

Introduction Although an essential frontline service in the prevention of child morbidity and mortality, there are indications that routine vaccinations have been disrupted during the COVID-19 pandemic. The present study aimed to compare vaccination coverage before COVID-19 in Mali in 2019 and one year after COVID-19 in 2020. Objective To compare vaccination coverages before COVID-19 in Mali in 2019 and one year after COVID-19 in 2020. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting and participants We collected routine immunization data from 2019 and 2020 of children under one year in the health district of Commune V in Bamako which includes twelve community health centers (CSCom). Results Overall, vaccination coverage of the nine vaccines was higher in 2019 (89.4%) compared to 2020 (79%; p < 10− 3). In 2020, low proportions of children vaccinated were observed in May (54.8%) two months after the first COVID-19 case in Mali on March 25, 2020. For all vaccines, the mean number of children vaccinated in 2019 (before COVID-19) was significantly higher than those vaccinated in 2020 after COVID-19 (p < 0.05). However, in January 2019, the number of children vaccinated with Meningococcal A vaccine in Africa (MenAfriVac), Yellow fever vaccine (VAA) and Measles vaccine (VAR) was lower in 2019 compared to 2020 (p < 10− 3). Likewise in January 2019, in September 2019 and October 2019 BCG vaccine coverage was lower in 2019 compared to 2020 (p < 10− 3). Conclusion COVID-19 pandemic has affected routine childhood vaccine coverage in Commune V of Bamako, particularly in May 2020. Therefore, new strategies are needed to improve vaccine coverage in young children below 1.
