Published: August 2023

Abstract
Seismic velocity is considered the best attribute related to formation pressure changes. Integrating seismic attributes and well-logging data through seismic inversion predicts the reservoir characteristics across the field with the highest accuracy. This study especially presents seismic velocity for the whole south Azadegan Field in SW Iran for carbonate formations. The considered dataset includes 3D seismic data, vertical seismic profiling (VSP), logging data of 23 wells, and geological information. Here, we estimated the interval velocity using post-stack migration velocity, seismic inversion, and the relationship between the acoustic impedance (AI) model and the sonic log to predict formation pressure. As a result, the correlation coefficient of 0.71 and a high inversion accuracy (8.76% relative error) is concluded. The actual and predicted P-wave (Vp) correlation coefficient is calculated as 0.74 and all sevens as 0.79 using an AI seismic attribute. Thus, the estimated Vp agrees with the original well-log values. Inverted AI cubes in the deeper formations of the field are about 8000-15000 [(m/s)*(g/cm3)], which could be referred to as calcareous formations. The correlation of the Vp cube resulting from the Sequential Gaussian simulation (SGS) considering co-kriging with the AI, with the initial velocity cube using the inverse distance weighted (IDW) method being 0.54 is more than the same method applied with interval migration velocity trend in co-kriging. The anisotropy of the final Vp cube for the vertical variogram range is 96m, and for major and minor directions is 11850 m.
Female financial inclusion, female access to inheritance, and incomes inequalities in Africa
Authors: Ngono Jean Francky Landry , Bita Charles Alain 
Published: August 2023

Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine how women's access to inheritance influences the effect of women's financial inclusion on income inequality in Africa. The study covers 47 countries between 1990 and 2014. The generalised method of moments is used as an estimation technique. It shows that women's access to bank accounts does not have a significant direct impact on reducing income inequality in the region. Access to credit, on the other hand, produced significant but ambiguous results. Women's access to inheritance has a weakly significant effect on reducing inequalities. As for the mixed effect, in countries where women have equal access to inheritance, women's financial inclusion contributes to a significant reduction in income inequality. The result is much more significant for the use dimension of women's financial inclusion and for equal access to inheritance for widows and widowers.

Published: August 2023

Abstract

Introduction and objective
Health care workers (HCW) and medical students are populations at risk of infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV), especially in endemic countries Effective vaccines have been available for more than 10 years, but many health care workers and medical students are unaware risk of infection and are still not immunized against hepatitis B. Because of the lack of studies dealing with this issue in the country, we, the work team, studied the knowledge and awareness of the students of the Syrian Private University about hepatitis B among the students of the Syrian Private University.
Materials and methods
The samples were collected at the Syrian Private University through an electronic questionnaire distributed to the special groups of the Syrian Private University. The samples were analyzed by the SPSS program during official working hours. The method for selecting samples is convenience sampling. Our required sample size was 201. It met the criteria for inclusion and exclusion and the design of a cross-sectional study.
Results
The study included (201) students (66.7% males, 33.3% females), the average age was (23) years, and the ages ranged between (18 and 35 years), and the percentage of medical students was (25.9%), and the rest of the percentages were distributed among the rest of the colleges, percentage Knowledge of viral hepatitis B among students (78.1%), and most of the students were receiving information from communication sites and university lectures (32.8% and 30.3%, respectively).
Conclusion
This study showed that the first-year students of the Faculty of Medicine have poor knowledge and lack of awareness about hepatitis B, its transmission methods, risk factors, prevention and treatment methods compared to students of older years, and the greater percentage of knowledge was among fourth-year students.
Paediatric palliative nurse’s experiences of working with child mortality: An IPA study investigating the possibility for experiencing secondary traumatic stress
Authors: Barber Joanne Marie 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The aim of this research was to qualitatively explore through interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA), paediatric nurse’s experiences of working with terminally ill children and the possibility for them to experience secondary traumatic stress. Indirect exposure to potentially traumatic situations is common amongst nurses with secondary traumatic stress being one of the most prevalent mental health conditions within nurses (Lee, Daffern, Ogloff & Martin, 2015). Studies have shown that nurses describe their roles as “medics who make people better” (Joudrey & Gough, 2001, p.1155). Within a paediatric hospital setting, it is hoped and usually assumed that the majority of the children within the wards will go home healthier than when first admitted into hospital. However, if a child takes a turn for the worse and passes away in hospital, it is anticipated that this could affect the nurses who have cared for that child, as their perception of their role as those who ‘make people better’ could be challenged. This viewpoint is different to nurses working in a palliative care setting where they know that the child they are caring for will pass away due to their terminal illness. Whilst they may still be affected by the loss of the child, it is anticipated unlike paediatric nurses where it could come as a shock. Participants for this study were recruited from two hospitals in the North West of England who had experience of working with terminally ill children. Five paediatric nurses were asked to take part in an hour-long semi-structured interview where questions about their experiences as a nurse were examined. The results of this research concluded that elements of secondary traumatic stress were prevalent in some of nurses interviewed. This suggestion is examined more thoroughly in the discussion.

Abstract

Sanitation programming success depends on users being satisfied with the proposed sanitation system and bathroom design. Past studies have described some households being dissatisfied with their current bathrooms and unwilling to accept a new bathroom because it is not modern; however, few studies have investigated how households define modern. To best support households in adopting improved sanitation infrastructure, or infrastructure that hygienically separates human waste from human contact, there is a need to understand characteristics associated with modern bathrooms and if modern encompasses more than the sanitation infrastructure. This study systematically identified characteristics associated with modern bathrooms across multiple sanitation infrastructure types. 305 households near Cascas, Peru, an area with diverse bathroom designs that have unimproved and improved sanitation infrastructure access, were surveyed to capture perceptions of modern. Results demonstrate that households often perceive a modern bathroom as one with a sitting-style toilet, a sink, and a shower. Most households did not associate sanitation infrastructure type with their definition of modern; however, all modern bathrooms had improved sanitation infrastructure. Future work should expand and test this definition of modern in other contexts to support future adoption of improved sanitation.

Os processos erosivos são gerados por causas naturais e humanas. As atividades antrópicas potencializam a perda de solos a partir de manejos inadequados e comprometem a produtividade agrícola e a sustentabilidade. Esta pesquisa objetiva realizar o mapeamento de erosividade e erodibilidade da vertente úmida do Maciço de Uruburetama/CE e entorno com o intuito de subsidiar medidas de proteção e manejo dos solos contra a erosão hídrica. O Mapa de erosividade foi obtido pelo interpolador IDW através do cálculo de erosividade realizado com base em registros pluviométricos de 23 estações de monitoramento da FUNCEME num intervalo de 10 anos (2010-2019). As classes de erosividade estão associadas a atuação de sistemas geradores de chuvas locais, que perdem força em direção ao continente. Assim, observou-se a ocorrência das classes de erosividade Moderada a Forte (92,66%) e Forte (7,34%). A erodibilidade dos solos foi processada por Krigagem Ordinária a partir do fator K obtido das análises de 92 amostras de solos deformadas (granulometria, estrutura do solo, matéria orgânica) e 92 indeformadas (permeabilidade) coletadas na área de pesquisa. As classes de erodibilidade estão associadas à distribuição e as características dos solos locais. A classe Muito Baixa (8%) está associada ao Planossolo Háplico Eutrófico e ao Neossolo Quartzarênico Órtico. A classe Baixa (83%) relaciona-se à ocorrência de Argissolo Vermelho-Amarelo e ao Neossolo Litólico, enquanto a classe Moderada (9%) associa-se ao Luvissolo Crômico.

Curcumin Derivatives Linked to a Reduction of Oxidative Stress in Mental Dysfunctions and Inflammatory Disorders
Authors: Dhiman Priyanka , Malik Neelam 
Published: August 2023

:
Stress is a critical factor in the etiology of inflammation and neurodegeneration.
The risk factor for the majority of psychiatric disorders is oxidative stress-induced
depression. Mitochondrial damage and oxidative stress are associated with the development
of neurodegenerative disorders. During aging, the brain and associated regions become
more susceptible due to oxidative stress. The leading cause of oxidative stress is
the continuous generation of ROS (reactive oxygen species) and RNS (Reactive nitrogen
species) endogenously or exogenously. In this review, discussion on a potent antioxidant
natural constituent “curcumin” has been made to alleviate many pathological and neurological
disorders. A focused compilation of vast and informative research on the potential
of curcumin as a magical moiety used therapeutically has been done in search of its
role in controlling the neurological and similar disorders induced by oxidative stress.

:
Quorum-sensing is a communication mechanism between bacteria with the
ability to activate signaling pathways in the bacterium and in the host cells. Pseudomonas
aeruginosa is a pathogen with high clinical relevance due to its vast virulence factors
repertory and wide antibiotic resistance mechanisms. Due to this, it has become a pathogen
of interest for developing new antimicrobial agents in recent years. P. aeruginosa
has three major QS systems that regulate a wide gene range linked with virulence factors,
metabolic regulation, and environment adaption. Consequently, inhibiting this communication
mechanism would be a strategy to prevent the pathologic progression of the infections
caused by this bacterium. In this review, we aim to overview the current studies
about the signaling mechanisms of the QS system of P. aeruginosa and its effects on this
bacterium and the host.

Published: August 2023

Abstract:
International attention has been directed toward superhydrophobic nanocomposite coatings
for a great variety of industrial applications. Nowadays, graphene-based self-cleaning coatings
represent the most important examination arenas. This study reviews the superhydrophobicity fundamentals,
graphene-based nanocomposite fabrication and applications for self-cleaning surfaces.
These efforts have stimulated the modeling of recently structured surfaces via a micro-nano binary
system. The controlled preparation of nanoscale orientation, configuration, arrangement, and direction
along the architectural composite building blocks would result in air-entrapping capacity along
the surface grooves. Polymer/graphene nanocomposites with novel and intriguing designs have offered
efficient self-cleaning surfaces. These nano-surfaces have a rough structure, low surface free
energy, and are hydrophobic materials. To improve the self-cleaning ability, several graphene/
inorganic nanofiller hybrids are dispersed in polymeric resins. The review covered the creation
of graphene compounds, interactions with polymers, and uses of the resulting nanocomposites.
It highlights the efficacy of controlling the nanostructured design mechanisms for self-cleaning applications.
The applications of superhydrophobic materials developed using graphene-related nanocomposites
for self-cleaning marine antifouling surfaces are the focus of this study. Stability, as well
as long-standing durability, represents vital advantages for developing eco-friendly superhydrophobic
alternatives. This review concludes with a discussion of the field's current and future advancements.
It is expected to serve as a cutting-edge research hub for the creation of a durable and sustainable
self-cleaning coating.
