Published: December 2022

Este artigo busca investigar, por meio da revisão sistemática de literatura, a relação interdisciplinar entre a Geografia e a Matemática na Educação Básica brasileira utilizando artigos disponibilizados no Portal de Periódicos da CAPES. A interdisciplinaridade é defendida como ação pedagógica e perspectiva teórica. Apresenta-se uma revisão da literatura sobre o assunto, buscando bases teóricas a fim de compreender o conceito de interdisciplinaridade e assume-se aquele que mais se aproxima das práticas escolares. Foram analisados cinco relatos de experiência que vão ao encontro da interdisciplinaridade entre Geografia e Matemática, tendo como principais articuladores dessas disciplinas a Cartografia e a Estatística. Observou-se que, como, majoritariamente, não há discussão teórica sobre interdisciplinaridade, consequentemente, os resultados evidenciam uma prática mais próxima da abordagem tradicional do que uma prática inovadora. Entretanto, enfatiza-se a ousadia criativa dos professores em tentar promover um ensino mais significativo para os estudantes.

Published: December 2022

An experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2019-20 with the objective of evaluating the effect of mulching and nutrient management practices on growth, yield and economics of maize (Zea mays L.) at Balindi Research Complex, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Nadia, West Bengal, India on clay loam soil. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with nine treatment (T) combinations such as T1- Live mulch (Trifolium alexandrium)+50% recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) [120:60:40 kg /ha N, P2O5 and K2O], T2- Live Mulch+75% RDF, T3- Live Mulch+100% RDF, T4- Straw Mulch (rice straw)+ 50 % RDF, T5- Straw Mulch+75% RDF, T6- Straw Mulch+100% RDF, T7- No Mulch+50% RDF ,T8- No Mulch+75% RDF and T9- No Mulch+100 % RDF, replicated thrice. Experimental results revealed that different mulching and nutrient levels exerted significant influence on growth, yield, net return and benefit-cost ratio (B:C). Application of straw mulch+100% RDF (T6) resulted in the highest plant height (164.57 cm), grain yield (5.28 tonnes /ha), stover yield (7.65 tonnes/ha) and B: C (2.16), however, treatment T7 recorded the lowest grain and stover yield. So, the integrated application of straw mulch along with 100% RDF could be recommended for better yield and higher profit of Rabi maize. Integration of organic mulch might be useful for long-term soil health benefits for the nutrient exhaustive maize crop.

Recognizing non-native spoken words in background noise increases interference from the native language
Authors: Hintz Florian , Voeten Cesko C. , Scharenborg Odette 
Published: December 2022

AbstractListeners frequently recognize spoken words in the presence of background noise. Previous research has shown that noise reduces phoneme intelligibility and hampers spoken-word recognition – especially for non-native listeners. In the present study, we investigated how noise influences lexical competition in both the non-native and the native language, reflecting the degree to which both languages are co-activated. We recorded the eye movements of native Dutch participants as they listened to English sentences containing a target word while looking at displays containing four objects. On target-present trials, the visual referent depicting the target word was present, along with three unrelated distractors. On target-absent trials, the target object (e.g., wizard) was absent. Instead, the display contained an English competitor, overlapping with the English target in phonological onset (e.g., window), a Dutch competitor, overlapping with the English target in phonological onset (e.g., wimpel, pennant), and two unrelated distractors. Half of the sentences was masked by speech-shaped noise; the other half was presented in quiet. Compared to speech in quiet, noise delayed fixations to the target objects on target-present trials. For target-absent trials, we observed that the likelihood for fixation biases towards the English and Dutch onset competitors (over the unrelated distractors) was larger in noise than in quiet. Our data thus show that the presence of background noise increases lexical competition in the task-relevant non-native (English) and in the task-irrelevant native (Dutch) language. The latter reflects stronger interference of one’s native language during non-native spoken-word recognition under adverse conditions.

Published: December 2022

Abstract
The matter orbiting black holes (BHs) in microquasars or active galactic nuclei forms toroidal accretion disk structures, and multiple torus structures have been recently described as ringed accretion disks (RADs) in a full general relativistic approach. Here we realize full general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) numerical simulations related to double toroidal structure immersed in the equatorial plane of the gravitomagnetic field of a central Schwarzschild BH in an asymptotically uniform magnetic field. We study the merging dynamics of an initial RAD structure constructed by two corotating or counterrotating tori, where accretion of matter from the outer torus is assumed onto the inner torus, using the 2.5D GRMHD simulation schemes with the HARM numerical code. We study the dynamics of the system assuming various initial conditions, and we have demonstrated that the initial matter density is the relevant factor governing the system evolution.
Dust Rings and Cavities in the Protoplanetary Disks around HD 163296 and DoAr 44

Published: December 2022

Abstract
We model substructure in the protoplanetary disks around DoAr 44 and HD 163296 in order to better understand the conditions under which planets may form. We match archival millimeter-wavelength thermal emission against models of the disks’ structure that are in radiation balance with the starlight heating and in vertical hydrostatic equilibrium, and then we compare to archival polarized scattered near-infrared images of the disks. The millimeter emission arises in the interior, while the scattered near-infrared radiation probes the disks’ outer layers. Our best model of the HD 163296 disk has dust masses 81 ± 13 M

The Behavior of HgMn Stars in the Far UV—Paper 23: HD 144844
Authors: Monier Richard 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The analysis of four high resolution spectra of the Mn P Ga star HD 144844 recorded by the SWP camera on board the International Ultraviolet Explorer does not reveal variations of the far ultraviolet flux of this star from 1994 July 1st to July 12th. The IUE spectra sample four different rotational phases of the rotational period derived recently from the Kepler lightcurve which shows that the far ultraviolet flux of HD 144844 is not modulated by rotation. However a previous low resolution SWP spectrum taken in August 1989 has significantly more FUV flux shortwards of 1700 Å than the spectra collected in 1994 July. On the the first spectrum of the 1994 July observations, the Al ii resonance line at 1670.79 Å is split into two components probably reflecting the orbital motions of HD 144844 and its companion.

Published: December 2022

Menopause is one of the women’s lifespan conditions that increases the potentiality of developing multiple physical and psychological diseases. Thus, it exposes the women to many fears and pressures, mainly during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to assess stressors and coping strategies among Egyptian menopausal women during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional design was used to identify the associated menopause complaints stressors and the types of coping strategies among 126 university working women ages 40 to 60. Three tools were used: the demographic-characteristic, menopause rating scale, and coping with menopause symptoms questionnaires. Results: The most prevalent complaints were psychological stressors with a mean of 88.8 (70.5%), where fear of infection and death by COVID-19 was the most common problem (87.3%). Further, the most coping technique used by participants was protective measures with a mean of 82.2 (65.2%). There is a highly significant difference (p=0.001) with all coping strategies based on the women’s menopausal status. Conclusion and recommendations: The COVID-19 pandemic with menopause represents a significant burden on women at a critical time of their lives. Based on the results, it is essential to address the effectiveness of highly competent nursing care and support that includes effective coping strategies. Establishing and adopting nursing care guidelines that deal with stress and caring during this pandemic is highly recommended.

Published: December 2022

Cet article souligne d’abord des enjeux de justice épistémique rencontrés par les groupes mobilisés vers la transition énergétique. Il rend ensuite compte d’une dynamique de recherche-action collaborative qui visait à cerner le potentiel et les perspectives de déploiement d’une dynamique de formation réciproque « par et pour » les actrices et acteurs impliqués pour une transition énergétique porteuse de justice sociale au Québec. Cette recherche, conçue avec le milieu, a mis de l’avant une méthodologie participative, où les savoirs et les analyses des collaboratrices militantes ont eu une place et une portée très importantes. L’article présente notre vision d’une éthique relationnelle de la recherche. Il explicite également les approches et les stratégies méthodologiques que nous avons déployées, tout en analysant leurs avantages et leurs limites. Alors que la littérature relative à la justice énergétique ne compte que très peu de recherches menées avec des groupes écologistes et citoyens, et encore moins de recherches impliquant ces groupes à titre de collaborateurs, les résultats de notre démarche appellent à valoriser les dynamiques de coconstruction de savoirs milieux-universités dans ce créneau de recherche et, plus largement, dans le vaste champ des questions socio-écologiques vives.

Published: December 2022

Background and aim
In this study we aimed to assess the short-term outcome of phacoemulsification in a tertiary hospital and to analyze which are the factors affecting visual outcomes.

Patients and methods
This is a prospective cohort study that included 50 eyes (50 patients) with senile cataract, phacoemulsification was done between September 2019 and December 2020. Comprehensive ophthalmic examination: preoperatively, first day, 1 week, and 1 month postoperatively was done. The changes in best-corrected visual acuity, corneal curvature, and intraocular pressure were compared. Double-angle plot of the corneal surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) was calculated, including centroid values (C-SIA) and mean of surgically induced astigmatism (M-SIA).

Results
The mean age was 64.86±8.48 years, 60% right eyes. No intraoperative complications. Best-corrected visual acuity (log MAR) was 1.079±0.66 with significant improvement postoperatively (P=0.00). Mean intraocular pressure was 16.88±3.193 with significant decrease postoperatively (P=0.04). Corneal astigmatism significantly increased from 0.939±0.57 D preoperatively to 1.146±0.67 D postoperatively (P=0.02). The M-SIA was 0.65±0.32 D (OD), 0.55±0.31 D (OS), the centroid of surgically induced astigmatism C-SIA was 0.28±0.67 D at an axis of 68° (OD), and 0.15±0.72 D at an axis of 76° (OS). Good visual acuity (>20/40) was achieved in 80% and 20/20 in 22%, dense cataract significantly influences the visual outcome (P=0.02).

Conclusions
This study implicates that in the absence of ocular comorbidity, the visual outcome of phacoemulsification is satisfactory in short-term follow-up, and effort should be exerted during surgery to deal with ocular conditions requiring complex surgery such as dense cataract and to observe every postoperative visual progression for interventions.
Doxycycline Plus Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole versus Doxycycline plus Rifampicin in Treatment of Brucellosis
Authors: Hassan Waleed A. , Abdel-Gawad Muhammad , Abdelmohsen Ahmed S. 
Published: December 2022

Background and aim
Brucellosis is one of the most common endemic zoonotic diseases that have large animal and human burden. Many regimens of drug combinations are used for a variable period (at least 6 weeks). Rifampicin with doxycycline is one of the most used combinations. In this respect, we aimed to compare between the efficacy of two different combinations: trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole combined with doxycycline (TMX-Doxy) versus rifampicin combined with doxycycline (Rif-Doxy).

Patient and methods
Between June 2020 and January 2022, 100 patients with brucellosis were included. Half of them (50 patients) received TMX-Doxy, whereas the other half (50 patients) received Rif-Doxy for 6 weeks. Follow-up was done during the treatment course and 6 months after the end of treatment to detect successfully treated cases, failed-to-treat cases, and relapsed cases.

Results
The success rates of both used drug regimens were comparable, with the rate of success of TMX-Doxy combination being 90%, whereas it was 94% in the RIF-Doxy group (P=0.23). The failure rate was 4% in the TMX-Doxy group and 2% in the RIF-Doxy group (P=0.31). Relapse of brucellosis was recorded in 6% of patients in the TMX-Doxy group, whereas it was 4% of patients in the RIF-Doxy group (P=0.32). The adverse effects of both drug combinations were mild and self-limited, and none of the enrolled patients needed to stop treatment.

Conclusion
Combination of TMX-Doxy is effective, safe, and not inferior to the more used RIF-Doxy combination.
Comparison of the outcome of partial time occlusion therapy in strabismic versus anisometropic moderate amblyopes
Authors: Hamdi Momen M. , Galal Amr S. , Ragheb Tarek R. , Fawzy Samah M. 
Published: December 2022

Background
Early in life, selective visual input disruption to one eye compromises most of the visual aspects, resulting in amblyopia, with a great social and economic effect. Despite being the easiest and most popular treatment regimen, monocular occlusion therapy is often questioned for efficacy in controlling visual abnormalities other than acuity in different etiologies of amblyopia.

Purpose
To find out the difference in response of moderately amblyopic, anisometropic versus strabismic eyes to partial occlusion therapy regarding visual acuity (VA), contrast sensitivity (CS), and depth of vision and find out any correlation of improvement of these parameters.

Patients and methods
This prospective comparative study included 49 moderately amblyopic children between 7 and 12 years of age divided into two groups: 25 anisometropic and 24 strabismic ones. Patients received 2-h parent-monitored occlusion regimen with near activity for 6 months on a monthly basis of follow-up. VA, CS, and stereoacuity were evaluated at each visit.

Results
Both groups showed significant improvement in VA, although the difference in the average amount of improvement was not significant (P<0.0001). Intragroup distribution of improvement was considerably different, where 9% of strabismic amblyopes achieved full visual recovery as compared with 40% of the anisometropic, and 62.5% had residual amblyopia versus 36% in the anisometropic group. CS improved significantly more in the anisometropic group (P=0.0493). Only 42% of the strabismic amblyopes improved in stereoacuity as compared with 88% of the anisometropic ones; the mean difference was not significant. In anisometropic amblyopes, initial VA correlated significantly with CS (P=0.019) and stereoacuity improvement (P=0.0133).

Conclusion
Moderately amblyopic anisometropic or strabismic children 7–12 years old can get benefit in different visual aspects from part-time occlusion therapy. The anisometropic amblyopes show better CS improvement and more reliable expectations of recovery that are largely dependent on the initial visual.
Appendicitis Inflammatory Response Score in Acute Appendicitis: A Study at a Tertiary Care Center in North India
Authors: Gupta Varun , Gupta Palak , Gill Chiranjiv Singh , Gupta Manvi 
Published: December 2022

Abstract

Introduction:
Appendicitis is a common cause of acute abdominal pain. The diagnosis is eminently clinical and the cause is surgically correctable. However, a decision of surgery based on the clinical presentation only has a 15%–30% chance of the removal of a normal appendix. Thus, the diagnosis involves a corroboration of clinical, laboratory, and radiological findings. Appendicitis scoring systems can be considered to expedite the diagnostic and decision-making process.

Aim:
The present study was conducted to study the efficacy of Appendicitis Inflammatory Response (AIR) score in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis and its correlation with the histopathological findings.

Materials and Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary care center in North India comprising patients who presented to the surgery department with a provisional diagnosis of acute appendicitis and required appendectomy.

Results:
Appendicitis was histopathologically proven in 54 patients. Patients with an AIR score ≥5 were 2.18 times more likely to have appendicitis. The probability of having appendicitis with AIR score ≥5 was 92.16% (positive predictive value). The diagnostic accuracy of AIR score was 82.81%.

Conclusion:
AIR score has a high sensitivity and positive predictive value in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis. It is a quick and convenient system for clinical evaluation of patients in primary care or peripheral hospitals where advanced facilities such as USG scan or CT scan are not available all the time. The application of this scoring system definitely improves diagnostic accuracy and reduces negative appendectomy rate.
Incidentally detected primary squamous cell carcinoma of the kidney: Case series with review of the literature
Authors: Patel Aishwarya Mehul , Patel Jigna , Jansari Trupti , Thorat Rutik 
Published: December 2022

ABSTRACT
Squamous cell carcinoma of the kidney is a rare malignancy, usually not suspected clinically because of the lack of any pathognomic sign and ambiguous clinical and radiological features, and thus, patients present at advanced stages resulting in poor prognosis. We report here four cases of incidentally diagnosed primary renal squamous cell carcinoma that were treated at our hospital. The mean age of the patients (two females and one male aged above 60 years, except one male whose age was 25 years) was 60 years. Both the males and one of the females had a history of multiple renal calculi, and the other female had staghorn calculus. Interestingly, renal carcinoma was not suspected clinically in all these patients. In one case, a computerized tomography scan (CT scan) showed suspicious mass. All underwent nephrectomy for the non-functioning kidney. In only two cases, tumor was identified on gross examination, whereas the other two only showed a distorted pelvis. Our case series emphasizes the need for pelvicalyceal biopsy during diagnosis and treatment for long-standing nephrolithiasis and thorough sampling of nephrectomy specimens of such patients to rule out malignancy.
