Abstract
Objectives
To describe a technique to improve exposure of prostate during extraperitoneal robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (EP-RARP).
Material and methods
From March 2020 to June 2022, a total of 41 patients with prior intra-abdominal surgery underwent EP-RARP. 23 patients improved exposure by traction of prostate through urinary catheter. The catheter traction technology (CTT) group was compared with the standard prostatectomy (SP) group (18 patients) in terms of estimated blood loss (EBL), operative time, positive surgical margin rate, the recovery rate of urinary continence, Gleason score and postoperative hospital stays. Differences were considered significant when P < 0.05.
Results
The operative time was lower in the CTT group (109.63 min vs. 143.20 min; P < 0.001). EBL in the CTT group was 178.26 ± 30.70 mL, and in the standard prostatectomy group, it was 347.78 ± 53.53 mL (P < 0.001). No significant differences with regard to postoperative hospital stay, recovery rate of urinary continence, catheterization time and positive surgical margin were observed between both groups. No intraoperative complications occurred in all the patients. After 6 months of follow-up, the Post-op Detectable prostate specific antigen was similar between the two groups.
Conclusion
CTT is a feasible, safe, and valid procedure in EP-RARP. Application of CTT improved the exposure of prostate, reduced operative time and blood loss in comparison with the conventional procedure.

Authors: Woolf Benjamin , Aziz Riaz 
Published: March 2023

Abstract

Introduction: In the past decade in the UK the minimal school leaving age has been raised twice. Previous studies have found evidence for a link between this type of policy and Myopia. This study aims to use the 1972 raising of school leaving age to help approximate the effect of the raising of school leaving age in 2013 and 2015.
Methods: We use a segmented regression model to conduct an interrupted time series analyses of the effect of years of education on Myopia using the 1972 raising of school leaving age. We use an instrumental variable analysis to recover the effect of a one-year change.
Results: We found evidence for a 0.60 (SE = 0.10) increase in years of education and, after adjusting for probability of having missing data and sex, a -0.14d (SE = 0.03) for refractive error. Instrumental variables analysis implies a -0.24 d/year (SE = 0.05) change in refractive error for each additional year in education.
Conclusion: Our results triangulate the findings of previous studies on the effect of years of education on Myopia and imply that each raising of school leaving age in the 2010s should be expected to a result in a -0.07 d/yr change in refractive error.

Published: March 2023

Islamic higher education image as the halal industry driving Indonesian halal industries should be improved along with the increasing role of higher educations to succeed halal industry, through the services provided to the implementation of three pillars in the fields of academics, research and supporting elements or community services. This study aims to develop e-halal service quality, as an electronic service to enhance the image. Considering that electronic services are part of service innovation, and there is not enough evidence for such service innovation to enhance image, this study also aims to develop service recovery as an antecedent of e-halal service quality and Islamic higher education image, respectively. Furthermore, considering the image as the halal industry driving Indonesian halal industries is a consequence of service recovery and e-halal service quality, respectively, this study also develops the variables based on social exchange theory. Primary data is taken using a questionnaire sent to the leadership elements of Indonesian Private Islamic Higher Education via google link, and analyzed using SPSS and Amos programs. The findings demonstrate that e-halal service quality and service recovery, respectively have significant effect on Islamic higher education image as the halal industry driving Indonesian halal industries. Service recovery also has a significant effect on e-halal service quality and can be a trigger for e-halal service quality to enhance Islamic higher education image as the halal industry driving Indonesian halal industries. Therefore, service recovery and e-service quality can develop social exchange theory to enhance Islamic higher education image as the halal industry driving Indonesian halal industries.
Evaluation of nature-based solutions for flood risk management in the Oitavén-Verdugo River Basin (NW Spain)

Published: March 2023

AbstractFloods are recurrent phenomena with significant environmental and socio-economic impacts. The risk of flooding can increase when land use changes. The objective of this research has been to obtain an integrative methodology based on the development of a model in HEC-HMS, calibrated and validated from events between 2018 and 2022, and to apply simulations employing the use of Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) tools. This model has been applied in Verdugo-Oitavén River Basin (NW Spain). Three different scenarios propose (1) the reforestation of 30% of abandoned agricultural land across the basin, (2) reforestation upstream (S-Upstream), and (3) reforestation in two sub-basins (S-Downstream). Upstream afforestation provided a similar reduction to catchment-wide afforestation for both peak discharge and hydrograph volumes. The S-Upstream simulation reaches peak reductions of 8%, but this percentage decreases when precipitation events are long lasting, reaching a reduction of 3.3% for events of 5 days or more. On the other hand, downstream reforestation has minimal effect (1%) in reducing maximum discharge of events. The use of NbS-based strategies would improve integrated watershed management, reduce flood risk, and improve environmental governance.

Abstract
Although previous studies have analyzed ecohydrological changes, external pressure sources on the ecohydrological regime have rarely been clarified, and knowledge about the individual impacts of large reservoir regulation is still insufficient. In this study, we reconstructed the natural flow in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River (MRYR) not regulated by the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) based on a long–short-term memory model. We then evaluated the dynamics of ecohydrological regimes using environmental flow components and ecohydrological risk indicators and quantified the impacts of the TGR. The results showed that the hydrological stability has increased after TGR construction, with significant decreases in the frequency and duration of extremely low-flows, large floods, and small floods. In addition, there is a high ecohydrological risk in the MRYR, with a higher ecodeficit and showing a continuous upward trend. The impact of the TGR on environmental flow components decreases along the river, averaging 42.1%, with the strongest impact on small floods, accounting for 56.2%. Overall, reservoir regulation has counteracted the increased eco-risk caused by climate change. Considering only the TGR, the ecosurplus in the spring and winter seasons increased, while the ecodeficit increased in the autumn season, with corresponding contribution rates of 81.4, 82.7, and 53.1%, respectively.

Published: March 2023

Background:
Downy mildew is one of the major fungi causing significant economic losses to crops. The resistance of this fungus to current fungicides is increasing and new fungi-cides with a unique mode of action are needed.

Objective:
To find a novel pyrazole amide derivative as a potential fungicide.

Methods:
A series of pyrazole-5-carboxamide derivatives containing a diaryl ether were de-signed and synthesized by the Intermediate derivatization method (IDM). Their fungicidal activ-ities against Pseudoperonospora Cubensis (P. cubensis, cucumber downy mildew) were evalu-ated in the greenhouse.

Results:
Bioassays indicated that several compounds exhibited excellent fungicidal activity against P. cubensis in vivo. In particular, T24 (EC50 = 0.88 mg·L-1) had the highest activity compared with Dimethomorph and Fluazinam and other analogues. The relationship between the activity and the structure of these derivatives was analyzed, and an accurate and reliable three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) model was established to determine that electrostatic and steric fields had important effects on the improvement of fun-gicidal activity.

Conclusion:
The novel pyrazole-5-carboxamide derivative T24 can be considered a potential fungicide for P. cubensis control.

screening of antioxidant properties, bulk density, WAC and OAC for functional properties, and
tannin, trypsin inhibitor and phytate for anti-nutritional properties.

Results:
Our results showed that in thermally processed wheat bran (Autoclaved, Hot air oven,
Microwave, Toasting), the antioxidant activity increased in comparison to native wheat bran,
whereas water absorption capacity and oil absorption capacity decreased significantly (p ≤ 0.05)
compared to native bran. In addition, a significant reduction in the anti-nutritional factor was also
observed. Moreover, FTIR in different wheat bran cultivars showed the presence of the C-H
group, -CH stretch, -NH group, -OH group, phenols group, -C=O group, mostly aldehyde group,
L-glucose, cyclodextrins, –C-OH bending vibrations, and halogen compound (C-Cl).

Conclusion:
The study showed differences in antioxidant and functional properties of bran obtained
from different wheat cultivars. The thermal technique is a very useful treatment for increasing

Published: March 2023

This study examines the system’s performance with implementation of the energy harvesting (EH) techniques at source node, S and relay node, R. The RF signals which are used to energy harvesting proccess are broadcasted by destination node, D. The information signals from S are sent to D via a R in a cooperative communication framework. The R uses the amplify and forward (AF) protocol to forward the received signal from S to D. We propose a network system which contain of three femto cells, and an access point of each femto cells work as a relay (R), in a macro cell with a base station or eNB as a destination (D). To find the best R for forwarding the information signal from S to D, we choose the partial relai selection strategy. From the simulation results can be shown that the throughput system and the outage probability system are affected by the location of S or the distance of between S-R and S-D. Also affected by the access point power of femto cell that is connected to electric source, and time swithing factor, ρ which is used to harvest energy at S and R nodes. The shorter distance of between S-R and S-D results a better value of throughput system and the outage probability system, since the gain channel value will be high and increases the SNR value at D. More bigger the power from battery of access point femto cell that is used together with the harvested power by R to forward the signal will result a better value of throughput system and the outage probability system. More smaller time swithing factor, ρ results more time period for transmitting signal by S and forwarding sinyal by R, therefore increases the transmit power at S and R. Increasing the transmit powers result the increasin SNR value at D, and result a better value of throughput system and the outage probability system.

Published: March 2023

Background
The development and quality assurance of perinatal eHealth self-monitoring systems is an upcoming area of inquiry in health science. Building patient engagement into eHealth development as a core component has potential to guide process evaluation. Access, 1 attribute of patient engagement, is the focus of study here. Access to eHealth self-monitoring programs has the potential to influence pregnancy health and wellness outcomes. Little is known about how pregnant users’ ability to obtain resources is influenced by their own adaptive activities and the mediating activities of eHealth systems during the process of real-world testing of these systems.

Objective
Here, we examine the patient engagement process of access occurring during the adaptation of eHealth self-monitoring use from a sociomaterial perspective.

Methods
In this mixed methods convergent evaluation design, we interviewed women about perceptions of the adaptation process of using an eHealth self-monitoring system. Deductive analysis was conducted guided by the definition of access as an attribute of patient engagement. After initial qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis, participants were spilt based on their level of use of the eHealth system (physical wear time of self-monitoring device). Content analysis was then conducted according to user group, using a conceptual matrix developed from ontological perspectives of sociomateriality.

Results
Pregnant users’ adaptive activities and the mediation activities of the eHealth system represent a cocreation process that resulted in user group–specific characteristics of accessing and using the system. The high- and low-use groups experienced different personal adaptation and eHealth mediation during this process of cocreation. Differences were noted between high- and low-use groups, with the high-use group giving attention to developing skills in recording and interpreting data and the low-use group discussing the manual adding of activities to the system and how the system worked best for them when they used it in their mother tongue.

Conclusions
A cocreation process between pregnant users and the eHealth system was identified, illustrating access as a useful core component of perinatal eHealth self-monitoring systems. Researchers and clinicians can observe reasons for why pregnant users access eHealth systems in unique ways based on their personal preferences, habits, and values. Mediation activities of the eHealth system and the different user adaptive activities represent a cocreation process between the users and the eHealth system that is necessary for the personalization of perinatal eHealth systems.
