Nursery-reared coral outplanting success in an upwelling-influenced area in Costa Rica
Authors: Fabregat-Malé Sònia , Mena Sebastián , Alvarado Juan José 
Published: May 2023

Introduction: Environmental and intrinsic factors such as seawater temperature, salinity, nutrient concentration, upwelling, species, and life history can influence coral outplant survival and growth, and in consequence, the effectiveness of restoration. Thus, it is key to understand how these factors can shape coral outplant performance to ensure the long-term success of a restoration program.
Objective: To establish the survival and growth rate of outplanted coral nursery-reared colonies of branching Pocillopora spp. and massive corals Pavona gigantea, Pavona clavus, and Porites lobata in Bahía Culebra, North Pacific of Costa Rica, and to determine whether the site of origin of the coral fragment and the presence of seasonal upwelling affected the growth of Pocillopora outplants.
Methods: From September 2020 to September 2021, we monitored the survival, health, and growth of 30 Pocillopora spp. colonies from six donor sites, and 31 fragments of massive species (P. gigantea [n = 18], P. clavus [n = 8], P. lobata [n = 5]) that were outplanted to a degraded reef. We recorded in situ seawater temperature, salinity, and nutrient concentration.
Results: By the end of the year, 100 % of the Pocillopora spp. outplants survived. Survival was 71.4 % for P. clavus, 47.5 % for P. gigantea, and 20 % for P. lobata. Coral tissue loss and predation marks were observed at least once in 71 % of massive outplants. Pocillopora spp. colonies increased their initial area in 333.1 %, at a rate of 9.98 ± 1.69 cm yr-1. The site of origin of the outplant influenced growth rate, but not the presence of seasonal upwelling. Massive species fragments grew at a rate of 1.35 ± 0.24 cm yr-1 for P. clavus, 1.48 ± 0.21 cm yr-1 for P. gigantea, and 0.61 cm yr-1 for P. lobata, with no differences among them.
Conclusions: Environmental conditions at site level allow for high survival and growth of Pocillopora spp. outplants, previously considered as sensitive to stressors, and point towards acclimation to seasonal upwelling. Although survival of massive species was lower, developing a multi-species approach is key to enhance restoration success.

AbstractPurposeThe frailty concept has become a fundamental part of daily clinical practice. In this study our purpose was to create a risk estimation method with a comprehensive aspect of patients' preoperative frailty.Patients and methodsIn our prospective, observational study, patients were enrolled between September 2014 and August 2017 in the Department of Cardiac Surgery and Department of Vascular Surgery at Semmelweis University, Budapest, Hungary. A comprehensive frailty score was built from four main domains: biological, functional-nutritional, cognitive-psychological and sociological. Each domain contained numerous indicators. In addition, the EUROSCORE for cardiac patients and the Vascular POSSUM for vascular patients were calculated and adjusted for mortality.ResultsData from 228 participants were included for statistical analysis. A total of 161 patients underwent vascular surgery, and 67 underwent cardiac surgery. The preoperatively estimated mortality was not significantly different (median: 2.700, IQR (interquartile range): 2.000–4.900 vs. 3.000, IQR: 1.140–6.000, P = 0.266). The comprehensive frailty index was significantly different (0.400 (0.358–0.467) vs. 0.348 (0.303–0.460), P = 0.001). In deceased patients had elevated comprehensive frailty index (0.371 (0.316–0.445) vs. 0.423 (0.365–0.500), P < 0.001). In the multivariate Cox model an increased risk for mortality in quartiles 2, 3 and 4 compared with quartile 1 as a reference was found (AHR (95% CI): 1.974 (0.982–3.969), 2.306 (1.155–4.603), and 3.058 (1.556–6.010), respectively).ConclusionThe comprehensive frailty index developed in this study could be an important predictor of long-term mortality after vascular or cardiac surgery. Accurate frailty estimation could make the traditional risk scoring systems more accurate and reliable.
Exploring The Relationship Between Sufism and Hadith: A Qualitative Analysis of Key Narrations and Interpretations
Authors: Mud’is Hasan 
Published: May 2023

This study examines how Sufi scholars have utilized Hadith to develop a framework for their spiritual practices, including pursuing inner knowledge and cultivating spiritual states. Additionally, it aims to analyze key Hadith narrations central to the development of Sufi thought, such as those concerning the nature of God, the role of Prophet Muhammad, and the path to spiritual enlightenment. This study utilizes a qualitative research approach to comprehensively analyze key Hadith narrations in Sufi literature and explore the relationship between Sufism and Hadith. The methodology involves a thorough literature review of primary and secondary sources, including Hadith collections and commentaries, works of Sufi scholars, and relevant academic studies. Qualitative data analysis techniques, such as content analysis and thematic coding, are employed to identify key themes and patterns in the Hadith narrations and Sufi interpretations. The study demonstrates that the teachings of Sufism are rooted in the prophetic tradition and can be referenced in various Hadiths of the Prophet that discuss the practice of Sufism. The Hadiths emphasize the importance of worshipping God to the best of one’s ability (ihsan), purifying oneself from things that can defile the heart and hinder the light of God (tazkiyat al-nafs), and practicing zuhud or detachment from excessive love for the material world. Sufis strive to find the basis of these Sufi teachings through esoteric interpretation of these Hadiths. This effort is not only essential for integrating Hadiths and Sufi teachings but also for seeking the Prophet’s most profound insights and teachings

O currículo é elemento estruturante da organização do trabalho pedagógico, do conheci­mento que permeia as ações docentes nas instituições de ensino. Diante do atual cenário sócio-político-educacional, marcado pelo avanço das políticas ultraconservadoras e ainda influenciado pelos impactos da pandemia da COVID-19, urge a necessidade do desenvolvimento de iniciativas de criações curriculares oxigenadas por movimentos e ações mais inclusivas, solidárias e emancipadoras. Por mais descrente que seja acreditar que essas propostas existem e podem ser propagadas, no Distrito Federal, acredita-se que as Escolas Parque apresentem construções curriculares que articulam-se a essas necessidades. Pretende-se refletir a respeito da proposta curricular de uma dessas escolas, localizada na Cidade de Ceilândia, considerada iniciativa de resgate da crença educacional por mundos possíveis, onde projetos educacionais de educação integral reconheçam e valorizem a diversidade, a construção de saberes e a formação cidadã. Trata-se de estudo qualitativo, cujos dados foram produzidos por meio de análise de documentos, observações e entrevistas como professores. Essa proposta curricular sustenta a função social da escola de ampliar as oportunidades de tempos e espaços formativos. Nas práticas curriculares educacionais é preciso também acentuar os acertos, não somente os erros, olhar para as conquistas, não apenas as dificuldades. É preciso exaltar o trabalho que traz vida às Escolas Parque. A educação precisa, entre tantas outras coisas, também de mais doses de otimismo.
Target Trial Emulation to Improve Causal Inference from Observational Data: What, Why, and How?
Authors: Fu Edouard L. 
Published: May 2023

ABSTRACT
Target trial emulation has drastically improved the quality of observational studies investigating the effects of interventions. Its ability to prevent avoidable biases that have plagued many observational analyses has contributed to its recent popularity. This review explains what target trial emulation is, why it should be the standard approach for causal observational studies that investigate interventions, and how to do a target trial emulation analysis. We discuss the merits of target trial emulation compared with often used, but biased analyses, as well as potential caveats, and provide clinicians and researchers with the tools to better interpret results from observational studies investigating the effects of interventions.

Published: May 2023

: Acute Undifferentiated Febrile Illness (AUFI) is a common cause of patients seeking healthcare in India. Appropriate diagnosis is essential for proper management of children, since failure to identify the nature of the causative pathogen results in increased morbidity and mortality due to diseases either being untreated or treated with inappropriate antimicrobials, Also there is waste of medicines and increased resistance to antimicrobials, which has a major public health threat worldwide.: To study clinical profile of children admitted with AUFI and to find out common causes of AUFI in Children (2 months to 18 years of age) and their seasonal trends. : A prospective study was carried out over 200 children of age 2 months to 18 months admitted in Balchikitsalaya MBGH Hospital with Acute Undifferentiated Febrile Illness of less than 7 days duration over a period of 12 months from November 2021 to October 2022. : Majority of the patients were in the age group of 10-15 years (32.5%). Out of 200 AUFI patients, majority had undifferentiated illness (53%) followed by Malaria (16.5%), UTI (12.5%), Dengue(11%), Scrub Typhus(5%) and Enteric Fever(2.5%). Higher incidence of AUFI was seen from August to November. : More than 50% cases of Acute Febrile Illness were due to Undifferentiated Illnesses, hence it can be concluded that provided the cause of undifferentiated illness is found, the irrational use of antibiotics and antimalarial should be prevented.

Temperature is an important vital sign. Body temperature is generally measured whenever there is suspicion of fever, but in neonates’ hypothermia is considered even more serious than fever. There are studies in pediatric intensive care units comparing various invasive methods of temperature measurement.This was a cross sectional comparative study conducted in postnatal wards and outpatient department of a teaching hospital. All consecutive 348 healthy term neonates between 0-28 days of life whose parents consented for participation in the study were included. The axillary temp was taken with digital thermometer and forehead temperature were measured by temporal scanner device simultaneously. Doctor and caretaker both took the temperature measurement. Out of total 348 patients 114 (32.7%) were males and 234(67.2%) were females. Mean birth weight was 2800±400 grams. Mean axillary temperature was 98.34±0.81°F, and forehead temperature was 97.81±0.89°F (p=0.44). There was a positive correlation between temperature measured using digital and infrared thermometer (r=0.914, p=0.00). The mean difference was −0.07 with limits of agreement −0.71 to 0.57.Digital axillary temperature was higher and closer to normal than infrared forehead temperature. Temperature readings by forehead infrared thermometry agree well with those by axillary digital thermometry in neonates. Hence both methods of temperature measurement can be used in neonates although Infra-red temporal touch is much easier technique than digital axilla temperature measurement

Published: May 2023

The methods and media that are used in the teaching and learning process are crucial to its success. With the use of suitable learning resources, teachers and students can overcome barriers to learning, enabling students to quickly access and comprehend course material. The survey was conducted in SD Negeri 1 Rogojampi, and the findings revealed that teachers only verbally communicated knowledge to the students while they were learning. With the use of an Android-based Visual Novel Game and the ADDIE method, the researcher hoped to innovate in the development of English learning media. Sixth-grade elementary school students who were randomly selected as respondents during the implementation stage were divided into groups that used learning media and groups that did not. According to the expert validation results, learning media are practicable to use and test on respondents. There were no problems in the learning media during the small group test, allowing it to be continued to the implementation stage or the big group test on research respondents. The respondents are put into two groups for comparison purposes: the group that received learning media and the group that did not. The average comparison value between the groups using learning media and the groups not using learning media differs by 2.9, showing that visual novel learning media is both useful and effective as a learning medium.

Uveal metastasis arising from thyroid neoplasms: a systemic review of case reports
Authors: Abdollahi Mirsaeed , Nateghian Hooman , Sobhi Navid , Jafarizadeh Ali 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Purpose: We systematically reviewed the case report literature to identify cases of uveal metastases (UM) originating from Thyroid Cancers (TCs) and evaluate this condition's demographic, ophthalmologic, and oncologic characteristics.
Methods: Web of Science, Medline, and Scopus databases were searched for case reports or series reporting uveal metastasis originating from a thyroid neoplasm. Articles published in any language from inception through November 2022 were searched and screened independently by two reviewers. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist for Case Reports.
Results: A total of 1049 records were detected. After removing duplicates and screening articles based on title, abstract, and full text, 46 cases from 43 studies were identified. The mean (SD) age of patients at the time of UM diagnosis was 56.521 (±15.68) years (range, 20–83 years), and 16 cases (34.78%) were reported in the elderly (˃64 years). Male patients consisted 56.52% (n=26) of the cases. Sixteen cases happened in the right eye, 19 in the left eye, and 11 cases in both eyes. In total, 39 cases (84.78%) had choroidal involvement. Papillary carcinoma was the most reported type of thyroid cancer in the patients (16/46), followed by follicular (15/46) and medullary (10/46) carcinomas of the thyroid.
Conclusion: Uveal metastases may appear in metastatic thyroid neoplasms. Therefore, physicians should maintain suspicion when ocular symptoms accompany a neck mass or a history of previous thyroid malignancies.
Fast to slow slip transition in analogue experiments of earthquakes
Authors: Yamaguchi Tetsuo , Himeno Yutaka , Yabe Suguru 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
We conducted laboratory earthquake experiments using soft polymer gels with well-defined bumps on both surfaces. We found two distinct slip modes, controlled by the position randomness of the bumps. When bumps are placed periodically, all contact junctions broke simultaneously. Consequently, fast, regular, and large slip events occurred. In contrast, when bumps are randomly positioned, slow and localized slip events prevailed, accompanied by a small stress drop. We developed a simple theoretical model that describes elastic deformation of the media, slip weakening friction for the bump pairs, and configuration irregularity in the bump position. Using this model, we successfully reproduced the fast to slow slip transition. We believe that our simple approach can contribute to understanding the role of fault heterogeneity in fast and slow earthquakes, and the physics of friction between solids.
A competitive epidemic model of two variants

Published: May 2023

Abstract
The competition between pathogens is an essential issue in epidemiology. As the COVID-19 pandemic persists, new variants mutate resulting in further waves of infections. In this work, we propose a simple two-variant susceptible-infected-removed-susceptible (SIRS) model for studying the competitive epidemic processes. We obtain the global basic reproduction number of our proposed model and show that whether the epidemic persists or diminishes depends on the more contagious of the two variants. Furthermore, by studying the stability of the endemic equilibria, given a specific choice of parameters, we can predict which variant, if any, will eventually dominate the competitive epidemic process.Numerical results show that periodic solutions become viable when the two variants’ cross-infectivities are unequal, i.e., recovery from one variant offers unequal protection against the other. In other words, reducing the infectivity of a variant via non-pharmaceutical interventions may trigger periodic or even chaotic behavior and paradoxically cause healthcare demand to increase. Finally, note that our model is sufficiently general so as to be used for studying competitive behavior in other areas of science.
Assessment of adjacent building vibrations induced by metro with a multigrid fully coupled method

Published: May 2023

Abstract
The vibrations generated by metro operations can cause structural damage and discomfort to occupants adjacent to the metro lines. In this study, a multigrid fully coupled method of metro vehicle-track-station-soil-building systems is proposed to predict and assess building vibrations before construction. This approach facilitates the efficient calculation of the fully coupled system, while ensuring precise simulations through the utilization of multigrid techniques for wheel-rail contact, track, station, soil, and building components. Using the newly-built opera theatre along Beijing metro line 4 as a case, the study demonstrates that the multigrid fully coupled model can predict the dynamics characteristics of metro-induced vibrations and distribution with high accuracy compared with the field tests. Specifically, it was found that metro operations could result in vibrations exceeding specified limits in the opera theatre, particularly at 10 ~ 40 Hz (the building's natural frequency) and 60 ~ 80 Hz (the main frequency band of vibration caused by the metro). Finally, the mechanism of excessive vibration and the effectiveness of targeted vibration mitigation measures were analyzed with the proposed method. These findings have promising implications for wider applications in environmental assessments and control strategies for new metro lines or vibration-sensitive buildings.
