Lower and Middle Pennsylvanian strata in the Orogrande and Pedregosa Basins, New Mexico
Authors: Wilson James L. 
Published: March 2023

Continued field work from 1955 to the present shows that Lower and Middle Pennsylvanian limestones crop out in various mountain ranges over most of southwestern New Mexico and northern Chihuahua, representing a once continuous sheet from 100 to 600 m thick. A regional NE-SW cross section from the Sacramento to the Big Hatchet Mountains shows detailed microfacies and fusulinid control and demonstrates that cyclic Lower Pennsylvanian (Morrowan) oolitic strata pinch out northward across southern New Mexico. The cross section also shows that Middle Pennsylvanian (Derryan and Desmoinesian) strata are widely represented by limestones with upward-shoaling cyclothems (generally upward-coarsening sequences) that number about a dozen at each location. Although the cyclothems are not correlative from section to section, they are generally present in all localities.Petrologic studies show that the limestones are exclusively open marine and dominantly bioclastic lime wackestones and packstones. Tectonic stability during Early Pennsylvanian time caused the deposition of shallow-marine carbonates over wide shelves east and west of the Pedernal Uplift. In the Delaware Basin and on the west flank of the Pedernal Uplift terrigenous clastics are present. Small channels on the carbonate shelves, far west of the Pedernal Uplift, contain polymictic limestone-chert conglomerates. Quartzose sandstones at the base of the Pennsylvanian contain variable amounts of matrix, are often channeled, and may contain abundant terrestrial-plant fossils.An isopach map of Lower and Middle Pennsylvanian strata shows that the Orogrande Basin is asymmetric in shape with marked subsidence along its eastern margin adjacent to the Pedernal Uplift. An anomalously thin area in the west-central part of the basin makes the basin narrower during Early and Middle Pennsylvanian time than in Late Pennsylvanian time. The Florida Uplift appears to transect thickness contours of the Lower and Middle Pennsylvanian, suggesting that uplift postdated development of the extensive carbonate sheet. The extent of carbonate deposition on the positive area, and the timing of the uplift, is difficult to prove since all Pennsylvanian and lowermost Permian (lower Wolfcampian) strata have been removed. The great thickness of Lower and Middle Pennsylvanian carbonates present in southwestern New Mexico and Arizona diminishes southward into Mexico (Chihuahua and Sonora). Two widely separated outcrops near Minas Plomosas, Chihuahua, and Bavispe, Sonora, contain only about 150 m of fusulinid-bearing shelf carbonates. Presumably these areas are located on opposite sides of the Pedregosa Basin. With sparse control at present, it is difficult to show whether or not the Pedregosa Basin, which should be between these localities, actually existed this early in Pennsylvanian time.
Part I. Revision of Buttsoceras. Part II. Notes on the Michelinoceratida
Authors: Flower Rousseau H. 
Published: March 2023

Part I:New material of Buttsoceras increases its range from Alabama through southern New Mexico and into northern Utah; it appears confined to the very latest phase of the Cassinian. The genus possesses a nonsegmental lining in the siphuncle, thickening gently apicad-like very slender endocones, which may terminate in a narrow tube that may be traversed by diaphragms. The inadequately known Oxfordoceras is not distinguishable from Buttsoceras; uncertainty surrounds the origin of its genotype. Buttsoceras shows fine lamellae in the lining of the siphuncle and thin homogeneous rings; it is referred to the Troedssonellidae of the Michelinoceratida. The study also involved some material referred to Michelinoceras, present with Buttsoceras in the Odenville and possibly in the Garden City Formation; M. primum, form the lower Cassinian part of the El Paso, is the oldest representative of the order Michelinoceratida so far recognized. The family Troedssonellidae is revised to include Buttsoceras.Part II:The order Michelinoceratida is discussed, tracing the main evolution as previously known, making some new contributions, and pointing out problems which still remain. Previously proposed family names (exclusive of the Michelinoceratidae and Troedssonellidae discussed in the preceding work) are summarized, with some indication of their value and scope. A following section describes the families Proteocerati dae, describing the genera briefly and including some new ones; the new families Sphooceratidae, Engorthoceratidae, Offleyoceratidae are proposed, with new genera in some instances. A final section deals with contributions to the morphology of Orthoceros regularis, Pleurorthoceras clarkesvillense, and P. selkirkense, and Dawsonoceras.
The phragmocone of Ecdyceras
Authors: Flower Rousseau H. 
Published: March 2023

cdyceras proves to have a rather long phragmocone, at the base of which a rather flat, thick septum suggests loss of earlier growth stages by truncation. This shallow basal septum is followed abruptly by very deeply curved septa, their edges extended far forward. Episeptal deposits, thin centrally and thick peripherally, result in a peripheral zone in which the shell material was essentially solid and an axial zone in which cup-shaped cavities remain in the camerae; with growth, the axial zone widens adorally at the expense of the peripheral zone. The siphuncle, beyond a basal arcuate stage, is tubular and thick-walled, with diaphragms, later becoming thin-walled and showing slightly fusiform segments. Septa are thin, the necks ambiguous from the present material, but evidently vestigial.Chazyan material studied is indecisive at the specific level, but indicates that the extended septal margins of young stages are responsible for the apparent thickening of the base of the living chamber on the basis of which Pachecdyceras was distinguished. A new species, E. expansum is described from the Viola Limestone of Oklahoma.Ecdyceras is remote in structure from other cephalopods, requiring its separation into a family and an order by itself. Origin is obscure, but only derivation from the Ellesmerocertaida seems possible.
Estrategia para la creación de un parque lineal ferrourbano en La Calera, Córdoba, Argentina.
Authors: Arnold Elizabeth 
Published: March 2023

La Calera, debido a su cercanía con la ciudad de Córdoba, su atractivo paisajístico y su clima, fue la primera villa veraniega de las sierras. Hoy es prácticamente nula la actividad turística y hotelera en la localidad. Se ha convertido en una ciudad de paso, no se aprovechan las vías de comunicación (rutas, ferrocarril) para interconectar la ciudad, sino para traspasarla. El río está contaminado y sus márgenes muestran gran degradación. La ciudad le da la espalda. Las laderas de las sierras presentan heridas profundas, huellas de la actividad minera en el territorio, lo que sumado a los incendios forestales, la introducción de especies exóticas y la construcción de nuevos barrios, ha producido la depredación de la fauna y flora nativas. Los terrenos utilizados antiguamente por el ferrocarril de carga se encuentran en estado de abandono, evidenciando un alto deterioro. A partir de estas situaciones, surge este trabajo de carácter proyectual, que propone la realización de un Parque Lineal Ferrourbano, con la intención de recuperar, preservar y poner en valor el patrimonio natural y cultural de La Calera, brindando a sus pobladores y visitantes un lugar de encuentro que les permita apreciar los valores ambientales, paisajísticos, históricos, artísticos y patrimoniales de su entorno.
Cambio de uso del suelo por la obra pública. Avenida Presidente Perón, en Tucumán.
Authors: Cichero Pilar , Gómez López Claudia 
Published: March 2023

La avenida Presidente Perón es una de las obras de infraestructura con gran impacto en el desarrollo metropolitano de Tucumán en los últimos 20 años. Es considerada una vía de acceso troncal hacia la ciudad de Yerba Buena que permitió la expansión noroeste del AMET, modificando un suelo agrícola por urbano residencial de alto nivel social. Actualmente se han localizado actividades complementarias al uso residencial y otras compatibles como el campus del Colegio Santa Rosa, el centro comercial Open Plaza, la universidad privada del Norte Santo Tomás de Aquino, complejos de oficinas, entre otros. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo describir las transformaciones producidas en el sector de análisis evidenciando cómo el sector privado representado por grandes promotores inmobiliarios, se beneficia con la obra pública generando, como denomina Cuenya, un entorno urbano exclusivo, sin precedente en el AMET de Tucumán. Dichos cambios se verifican y cuantifican a partir del análisis sincrónico. Para ello, se trabaja mediante tres cortes espacio temporales: antes de la construcción de la avenida (principios década de los ‘90), durante las primeras intervenciones en el sector (década del 2000) y la situación actual sobre imágenes satelitales tipo Landsat y Digital Globe, procesadas en una plataforma SIG

Background: Intrauterine life is the most pivotal period of development that determines vital outcomes in postnatal life. Diabetes Mellitus may lead to disturbed fetal growth and maternal vasculopathy resulting in placental insufficiency with subsequent development of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). This study aims to find an association between hyperglycemia and the risk of IUGR, comparing pregnancies with IUGR with those with adequate for gestational age pregnancies.
Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted in Federal Post Graduate Medical Institute (FPGMI) from January 2015 to January 2016, including 106 pregnant women using non-probability convenient sampling technique. Participants were divided into two groups: Group A comprises of pregnant women with adequate for gestational age pregnancies (n=53) and groups B includes pregnant women with intrauterine growth restricted pregnancies (n=53). Random blood sugar level was estimated by glucose/oxidase test and IUGR was confirmed by ultrasonography at 28-35 weeks of gestation. Shapiro-Wilk test was used to examine data normality and independent t-test was used to compare statistically significant difference. A p- value of <0.05 was considered significant.
Results: Mean basal sugar level of group A was 98.9 ± 7.1 mg/dL and that of group B was 97.9 ± 6.0mg/dL. This mean difference was not statistically significant (p-value= 0.566).
Conclusion: We found no statistically significant association between raised maternal basal glucose level and the occurrence of intrauterine growth restriction at 28-35 weeks of pregnancy.

Authors: Khushbakht Ali Khan  , Ammarah Afzal  , Bilal Chaudhary  
Published: March 2023

Background: The papillary carcinoma thyroid is a rare disease in adolescents and children. A high level of suspicion should arouse as soon as the physician comes across swelling in neck. Appropriate management yields a good survival rate.
Case history: We present a case of the papillary carcinoma thyroid in a 13-year old girl presented to outdoor of Jinnah Hospital, Lahore with painless swelling in right side of neck for three months. There were associated smaller swelling matted on palpation. No history of palpitations, fever, weight loss and family history of tuberculosis contact or cancer in family. Initial radiology and blood investigations showed an euthyroid goitre. The fine needle aspiration of lymph node only showed reactive hyperplasia. The matted lymph node was partially excised for histopathology as suspicion of tuberculosis existed due to its endemic feature. Later, it was found to be papillary carcinoma of thyroid. Total thyroidectomy was done with neck dissection followed by treatment at nuclear medicine department.
Conclusion: Thyroid cancer is quite uncommon in adolescents but strong suspicion should arise when dealing with neck swelling even in this age group. Thorough history, watchful physical examination and timely investigations can save clinician from missing the diagnosis.

Introduction and objective: Anemia is the one of the most widespread disorder all across the world characterized by low haemoglobin levels in blood causing reduced oxygenation of red blood cells and consequently producing symptoms such as lethargy, malaise and shortness of breath according to its severity. Thrombocytosis is a condition in which the number of platelets is increased and it can be identified by same methods which we use for the diagnosis of anemia. In previous studies, it has been found that thrombocytosis is associated with mild, moderate and severe forms of anemia. The objective of the study is to assess the prevalence of throbocytosis in anemic patients of different ages.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the patients with anemia who were less than 18 years old were included. Samples were collected from the outdoor and indoor patients of Akhter Saeed Trust Hospital Lahore, who were not treated with any therapy to cure anaemia. About 2-3 ml of venous blood was drawn and sent to laboratory for CBC. Data regarding the MCV, MCH, and platelet count was collected on structured performa.
Results: From total 224 patients, 64.73% were males, and 35.27% were females. Statistically, the p-value showed a significant association between all age groups [first (p =0.001), second (p =0.001), third (p =0.001), and fourth (p =0.001)], and genders [males (p =0.001), and females (p =0.001)] with all (mild, moderate and severe) anemias. The prevalence of thrombocytosis in iron deficiency anemia patients was 23.57%.
Conclusion: The present study concluded that the patients having anemia can also be affected with thrombocytosis.

Peningkatan kasus kejadian Covid-19 yang sangat fluktuatif menjadikan pelaksanaan protokol kesehatan lebih digiatkan. Pemerintah telah mengeluarkan Kebijakan Pemberlakuan Pembatasan Kegiatan Masyarakat (PPKM) dengan berbasis mikro mulai 9 hingga 22 Februari 2021. Hajatan pengantin merupakan suatu wadah yang berpotensi besar dapat meningkatkan persebaran Covid-19 di lingkungan masyarakat. Penerapan protokol kesehatan di masa pandemi Covid-19 sangat penting dilakukan untuk mencegah penularan Covid-19, terutama pada acara hajatan pengantin. Penerapan protokol Kesehatan kepada masyarakat dilakukan untuk membiasakann diri melaksanakan 3M (Memakai masker, Menjaga jarak, dan Mencuci tangan pakai sabun). Sosialisasi diawali dengan memberi informasi secara lisan maupun dengan membagikan selebaran informasi kepada tamu undangan pada malam Mappacci dan pada hari Akad Nikah, mengarahkan untuk mencuci tangan dengan benar menggunakan sabun cuci tangan dan atau menyiapkan hand sanitizer, membagikan masker, serta mengatur jarak kursi sehingga Social distancing tetap terjaga. Penerapan protokol kesehatan pada acara hajatan pengantin didukung oleh pemerintah kabupaten soppeng, dengan adanya edaran dari Badan Nasional Penanggulangan Bencana (BNPB) Satuan Tugas Covid-19 Kabupaten Soppeng. Secara umum, masyarakat di Lingkungan Mallekana, dapat menerapkan protokol kesehatan 3M dengan baik, meskipun sebagian kecil masih terdapat kerumunan pada saat menjelang akad nikah. Namun, setelah diberi himbauan secara lisan, masyarakat dengan patuh dapat menjaga jarak dan patuh terhadap protokol yang disampaikan.

Dalam penulisan karya ilmiah, penulis tidak hanya menuliskan hasil pemikirannya sendiri melainkan harus didukung oleh pendapat orang lain sehingga tulisannya dapat di akui keilmiahannya. Dalam hal ini, keterampilan mengolah sumber referensi merupakan hal yang wajib diketahui oleh setiap penulis agar terhindar dari plagiasi. Pemahaman mahasiswa di Universitas Muhammadiyah Buton terhadap pentingnya penulisan referensi dalam pencegahan plagiat sangatlah minim. Mahasiswa umumnya belum mengetahui, bahwasanya plagiat dapat terjadi secara tidak di sengaja dalam bentuk kutipan, paraphrase serta penulisan referensi. Tujuan dari kegiatan pengabdian ini adalah untuk memberikan pemahaman kepada mahasiswa mengenai ruang lingkup plagiarisme, bentuk dan cara pencegahannya serta membekali mahasiswa dengan keterampilan penulisan referensi ilmiah yang seusaui dengan kaidahnya. Pelatihan penulisan referensi ilmiah ini dilaksanakan secara tatapmuka dengan pendekatan seminar serta pelatihan terbimbing dalam fokus grup diskusi. Pelatihan ini diikuti oleh 24 peserta mahasiswa dari tiga program studi (prodi), yaitu prodi Teknik Sipil, Prodi Pendidikan Guru Sekolah Dasar dan Prodi Agribisnis. Keseluruahan rangkaian kegiatan pelatihan penulisan karya ilmiah bebas plagiat menunjukkan hasil yang cukup memuaskan. Peserta yang didominasi mahasiswa tingkat akhir dapat menyerap inti materi yang disampaikan.

Background: Older adults (age ≥65 years) receiving chemotherapy are at risk for hospitalization. Predictors of unplanned hospitalization among older adults receiving chemotherapy for cancer were recently published using data from a study conducted by the Cancer and Aging Research Group (CARG). Our study aimed to externally validate these predictors in an independent cohort including older adults with advanced cancer receiving chemotherapy. Methods: This validation cohort included patients (n=369) from the GAP70+ trial usual care arm. Enrolled patients were aged ≥70 years with incurable cancer and were starting a new line of chemotherapy. Previously identified risk factors proposed by the CARG study were ≥3 comorbidities, albumin level <3.5 g/dL, creatinine clearance <60 mL/min, gastrointestinal cancer, ≥5 medications, requiring assistance with activities of daily activities (ADLs), and having someone available to take them to the doctor (ie, presence of social support). The primary outcome was unplanned hospitalization within 3 months of treatment initiation. Multivariable logistic regression was applied including the 7 identified risk factors. Discriminative ability of the fitted model was performed by calculating the area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUC) curve. Results: Mean age of the cohort was 77 years, 45% of patients were women, and 29% experienced unplanned hospitalization within the first 3 months of treatment. The proportions of hospitalized patients with 0–3, 4–5, and 6–7 identified risk factors were 24%, 28%, and 47%, respectively (P=.04). Impaired ADLs (odds ratio, 1.76; 95% CI, 1.04–2.99) and albumin level <3.5 g/dL (odds ratio, 2.23; 95% CI, 1.37–3.62) were significantly associated with increased odds of unplanned hospitalization. The AUC of the model, including the 7 identified risk factors, was 0.65 (95% CI, 0.59–0.71). Conclusions: The presence of a higher number of risk factors was associated with increased odds of unplanned hospitalization. This association was largely driven by impairment in ADLs and low albumin level. Validated predictors of unplanned hospitalization can help with counseling and shared decision-making with patients and their caregivers.

Background: Poorly managed cancer treatment toxicities negatively impact quality of life, but little research has examined patient activation in self-management (SM) early in cancer treatment. Methods: We undertook a pilot randomized trial to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of the SMARTCare (Self-Management and Activation to Reduce Treatment Toxicities) intervention. This intervention included an online SM education program (I-Can Manage) plus 5 sessions of telephone cancer coaching in patients initiating systemic therapy for lymphoma or colorectal or lung cancer at 3 centers in Ontario, Canada, relative to a usual care control group. Patient-reported outcomes included patient activation (Patient Activation Measure [PAM]), symptom or emotional distress, self-efficacy, and quality of life. Descriptive statistics and Wilcoxon rank-sum tests were used to examine changes over time (baseline and at 2, 4, and 6 months) within and between groups. We used general estimating equations to compare outcomes between groups over time. The intervention group completed an acceptability survey and qualitative interviews. Results: Of 90 patients approached, 62 (68.9%) were enrolled. Mean age of the sample was 60.5 years. Most patients were married (77.1%), were university educated (71%), had colorectal cancer (41.9%) or lymphoma (42.0%), and had stage III or IV disease (75.8%). Attrition was higher in the intervention group than among control subjects (36.7% vs 25%, respectively). Adherence to I-Can Manage was low; 30% of intervention patients completed all 5 coaching calls, but 87% completed ≥1. Both the continuous PAM total score (P<.001) and categorical PAM levels (3/4 vs 1/2) (P=.002) were significantly improved in the intervention group. Conclusions: SM education and coaching early during cancer treatment may improve patient activation, but a larger trial is needed.
