Abstract. Meltwater runoff from the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) is an important contributor to global sea level rise, but substantial uncertainty exists in its measurement and prediction. Common approaches for estimating ice sheet runoff are in situ gauging of proglacial rivers draining the ice sheet and surface mass balance (SMB) modeling. To obtain hydrological and meteorological data sets suitable for both runoff stage characterization and, pending the establishment of stage–discharge curves, SMB model evaluation, we established an automated weather station (AWS) and a cluster of traditional and experimental river stage sensors on the Minturn River, the largest proglacial river draining Inglefield Land, NW Greenland. Secondary installations measuring river stage were installed in the Fox Canyon River and North River at Pituffik Space Base, NW Greenland. Proglacial runoff at these sites is dominated by supraglacial processes only, uniquely advantaging them for SMB studies. The three installations provide rare hydrological time series and an opportunity to evaluate experimental measurements of river stage from a harsh, little-studied polar region. The installed instruments include submerged vented and non-vented pressure transducers, a bubbler sensor, experimental bank-mounted laser rangefinders, and time-lapse cameras. The first 3 years of observations (2019 to 2021) from these stations indicate (a) a meltwater runoff season from late June to late August/early September that is roughly synchronous throughout the region; (b) the early onset (∼ 23 June to 8 July) of a strong diurnal runoff signal in 2019 and 2020, suggesting minimal meltwater storage in snow and/or firn; (c) 1 d lagged air temperature that displays the strongest correlation with river stage; (d) river stage that correlates more strongly with ablation zone albedo than with net radiation; and (e) the late-summer rain-on-ice events appear to trigger the region's sharpest and largest floods. The new gauging stations provide valuable in situ hydrological observations that are freely available through the PROMICE network (https://promice.org/weather-stations/, last access: 14 September 2023).

Abstract. This study enhances an existing global hydrological model (GHM), Xanthos, by adding a new water management module that distinguishes between the operational characteristics of irrigation, hydropower, and flood control reservoirs. We remapped reservoirs in the Global Reservoir and Dam (GRanD) database to the 0.5∘ spatial resolution in Xanthos so that a single lumped reservoir exists per grid cell, which yielded 3790 large reservoirs. We implemented unique operation rules for each reservoir type, based on their
primary purposes. In particular, hydropower reservoirs have been treated as
flood control reservoirs in previous GHM studies, while here, we determined
the operation rules for hydropower reservoirs via optimization that maximizes long-term hydropower production. We conducted global simulations
using the enhanced Xanthos and validated monthly streamflow for 91 large river basins, where high-quality observed streamflow data were available. A
total of 1878 (296 hydropower, 486 irrigation, and 1096 flood control and
others) out of the 3790 reservoirs are located in the 91 basins and are part of our reported results. The Kling–Gupta efficiency (KGE) value (after adding the new water management) is ≥ 0.5 and ≥ 0.0 in 39 and 81 basins, respectively. After adding the new water management module, model performance improved for 75 out of 91 basins and worsened for only 7. To measure the relative difference between explicitly representing hydropower reservoirs and representing hydropower reservoirs as flood control reservoirs (as is commonly done in other GHMs), we use the normalized root mean square error (NRMSE) and the coefficient of determination (R2). Out of the 296 hydropower reservoirs, the NRMSE is
> 0.25 (i.e., considering 0.25 to represent a moderate difference) for over 44 % of the 296 reservoirs when comparing both the simulated reservoir releases and storage time series between the two simulations. We suggest that correctly representing hydropower reservoirs in GHMs could have important implications for our understanding and management of freshwater resource challenges at regional-to-global scales. This enhanced global water management modeling framework will allow the analysis of future global reservoir development and management from a coupled human–earth system perspective.

Abstract. Large datasets of long-term streamflow measurements are widely used to infer and model hydrological processes. However, streamflow measurements may
suffer from what users can consider anomalies, i.e. non-natural records that may be erroneous streamflow values or anthropogenic influences that
can lead to misinterpretation of actual hydrological processes. Since identifying anomalies is time consuming for humans, no study has investigated
their proportion, temporal distribution, and influence on hydrological indicators over large datasets. This study summarizes the results of a large
visual inspection campaign of 674 streamflow time series in France made by 43 evaluators, who were asked to identify anomalies falling under five
categories, namely, linear interpolation, drops, noise, point anomalies, and other. We examined the evaluators' individual behaviour in terms of
severity and agreement with other evaluators, as well as the temporal distributions of the anomalies and their influence on commonly used
hydrological indicators. We found that inter-evaluator agreement was surprisingly low, with an average of 12 % of overlapping periods reported as
anomalies. These anomalies were mostly identified as linear interpolation and noise, and they were more frequently reported during the low-flow
periods in summer. The impact of cleaning data from the identified anomaly values was higher on low-flow indicators than on high-flow indicators,
with change rates lower than 5 % most of the time. We conclude that the identification of anomalies in streamflow time series is highly dependent
on the aims and skills of each evaluator, which raises questions about the best practices to adopt for data cleaning.
EARLY OPERATIVE MANAGEMENT OF COMPLICATED APPENDICITIS IS ASSOCIATED WITH IMPROVED SURGICAL OUTCOMES IN ADULTS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: Hekmatyar Mohamad 
Published: September 2023

Introduction: Appendectomy is one of the most common surgeries in the US, with over 300,000 performed annually. In addition, 20% of adults may have complex appendicitis with extensive peritonitis, perforation, abscess, or phlegmon. In severe appendicitis patients, there is no unanimity on whether to operate or when. Statistics contradict each other. Non-operative care and radiologically guided percutaneous drainage have become prominent treatments.

The aim: This article demonstrated an association between early surgical management of complicated appendicitis and enhanced surgical outcomes in adults.

Methods: By comparing itself to the standards set by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) 2020, this study was able to show that it met all of the requirements. So, the experts were able to make sure that the study was as up-to-date as it was possible to be. For this search approach, publications that came out between 2013 and 2023 were taken into account. Several different online reference sources, like Pubmed and SagePub, were used to do this. It was decided not to take into account review pieces, works that had already been published, or works that were only half done.

Result: In the PubMed database, the results of our search brought up 68 articles, whereas the results of our search on SagePub brought up 51 articles. The results of the search conducted for the last year of 2013 yielded a total 19 articles for PubMed and 13 articles for SagePub. In the end, we compiled a total of 11 papers, 7 of which came from PubMed and 4 of which came from SagePub. We included three study that met the criteria.

Conclusion: The benefits of immediate surgery for patients with complicated appendicitis include a reduction in hospitalization time, subsequent infections, and short-term mortality, according to research.
Nationwide Effect of COVID-19 on Cases Performed During Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgery Fellowship Training in the United States
Authors: Silvestre Jason , Thompson Terry L. , Flynn John M. 
Published: September 2023

Introduction:
The COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected surgical training in the United States. We hypothesized that reported case volume during pediatric orthopaedic surgery fellowship training would decrease markedly during the 2019 to 2020 academic year, which corresponded with the COVID-19 outbreak.

Methods:
The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education provided nationwide case logs for accredited pediatric orthopaedic surgery fellows (2017 to 2021). Annual reported case volumes were extracted and summarized as means ± SD. Parametric tests were used to compare annual case volumes.

Results:
A total of 149 pediatric orthopaedic fellows from 23 accredited fellowships were included. A 16% year-over-year (YoY) decrease was noted in the reported case volume during the 2019 to 2020 academic year (238 ± 80 vs. 255 ± 60, P < 0.001). Nonacute case categories had the most notable YoY percentage decreases: Soft Tissue: Transfer, Lengthen, Release (−42%); Clubfoot (−34%); and Foot and Ankle Deformity (−31%). Acute case categories had the most notable YoY percentage increases: Trauma Lower Limb (12%) and Trauma Upper Limb (10%). A subsequent 42% YoY increase was noted in the reported case volume during the 2020 to 2021 academic year.

Discussion:
A 16% YoY decrease was noted in the reported case volume during the 2019 to 2020 academic year, which corresponded to widespread economic shutdowns during the initial COVID-19 outbreak. Nonacute cases experienced the greatest negative effect. The results from this study may inform the orthopaedic surgery community on the effect of future national emergencies, such as viral outbreaks.

A finales del año 2019 se desarrolla la pandemia de COVID-19, una enfermedad infecciosa causada por un virus previamente no identificado, que produjo consecuencias catastróficas a nivel mundial. Los reportes epidemiológicos mostraron que después de adquirir la infección, la mayoría de las personas experimentan enfermedad leve sin complicaciones, sin embargo, algunos de los pacientes, requirieron hospitalización. Durante los años 2020 a 2022, fueron evaluados en nuestra institución cerca de 1800 pacientes. Dentro del arsenal terapéutico, fueron utilizados equipos de ventilación mecánica invasiva y no invasiva y medicamentos que incluyeron: antivirales, oxígeno, sedantes, antibióticos, anticoagulantes, protectores gástricos, analgésicos, hipolipemiantes, antiarrítmicos, diuréticos, hipotensores, antipsicóticos, analgésicos, hemoderivados, colchicina, esteroides, fibrinolÍticos y anticuerpos contra interleukina 6: tocilizumab, suplementos vitamínicos entre otros. De igual manera fueron utilizados, catéteres venosos y arteriales, tubos endotraqueales, sondas nasogástricas y de aspiración, tubos de drenaje, sondas vesicales y colocación en posición prona en aquellos pacientes con hipoxemia severa. La terapéutica no estuvo exenta de complicaciones. Nuestro objetivo es hacer del conocimiento a la comunidad médica de algunos pormenores de estos eventos ocurridos tanto en la sala de hospitalización como en la unidad de cuidados intensivos COVID, no atribuidos a efectos directos perjudiciales del virus, sino, a las consecuencias de los tratamientos aplicados.
De historisering van (digitale) surveillance

The historicization of (digital) surveillance – Photography as a means of surveillance and control (late 19th and early 20th century)
This article describes the first applications of photography as a practice and technique for police surveillance during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It explores how, through the growing use of photography in law enforcement, the criminal subject was increasingly followed, registered, classified and studied. The article reveals that photographic representations and surveillance shifted from the criminal body (mug shots) to abstract data (fingerprints). However, through describing the history of surveillance, the paper shows that also important patterns of continuity with contemporary practices of (digital) surveillance exist, in particular regarding the cultural motivations underpinning its trajectory and use of technologies.
Effect of Streptococcus mitis and Streptococcus mutans on the adhesion of Streptococcus salivarius to lithium disilicate glass-ceramics of varying roughnesses
Authors: Kavaz Tuğçe , Özdemir Hatice 
Published: September 2023

Aim: The aim of this in vitro study was to determine how different polishing kits affect the surface roughness of lithium disilicate glass-ceramic and to examine the effect of Streptococcus mitis and Streptococcus mutans on the adhesion of Streptococcus salivarius to the glass-ceramic.
Methodology: A total of 96 lithium disilicate glass-ceramic specimens were prepared and divided into four groups: control, rough, D+Z polished, and OptraFine polished. A total of 16 subgroups were obtained based on four combinations of three bacteria. After adding artificial saliva to the surface, all specimens were incubated in suspensions prepared for bacterial combinations. Bacterial adhesion values in the colonies formed were obtained according to the colony-forming unit (CFU) system.
Results: The highest Sa values were found for the rough group, followed by the OptraFine polished, D+Z polished, and control groups, but, except for the control group, the values were statistically similar (p > 0.05). The difference between S. salivarius and the triple bacteria combination was statistically significant for the S. salivarius CFU values in the control group. The difference between S. salivarius, S. salivarius + S. mutans, and the triple bacteria combination groups was significant for the rough group (p < 0.05). S. salivarius alone accumulated the most on all specimen surfaces. In the control group, a high level (r=0.6-0.8) of positive correlation was found between the S + Mit group and the S + Mit + Mut group. In the rough group, a high (r>0.8) positive correlation was found between the S + Mut and S + Mit + Mut groups in terms of S. salivarius adhesion.
Conclusion: For lithium disilicate glass-ceramic material, polishing systems are not sufficiently efficient after the glaze layer has been removed.

Fluorine-containing ferroelectric polymers: applications in engineering and biomedicine
Authors: Kochervinskii V. V. , Gradov O. V. , Gradova M. A. 
Published: September 2023

Highly polar fluorine-containing ferroelectric polymers based on vinylidene fluoride refer to the class of electroactive polymers suitable for various engineering applications. Under usual crystallization conditions, polycrystalline texture is formed, while after high-voltage polarization, it is transformed into a non-centrosymmetric structure, which gives rise to high piezoelectric and pyroelectric responses. Such materials can be used for pyroelectric energy conversion. Owing to high impact strength, ferroelectric polymers can serve as materials for alternative energy sources that convert dynamic impact energy into electricity. The non-linearity of electric response (owing to ferroelectricity) and high breakdown fields offer opportunity of using them in capacitive charge storage devices. The intense dynamics of the amorphous phase provides a rapid discharge of the stored energy into an external circuit. In view of the considerable fraction of the amorphous phase ( 50%) in fluorine-containing ferroelectric polymers and high dielectric permittivity of the amorphous phase, it is possible to change the system entropy by applying an electric field. In the case of pulsed field, this provides a temperature drop; therefore, these materials (especially as composites) are promising for the design of solid-state refrigerators. The high thermoplasticity of these polymers is useful for the design of sensors <i>e.g.</i>, microphones) with a patterned active membrane surface and enhanced characteristics. Biocompatibility and low acoustic impedance (close to the impedance of biological tissues) accounts for the possibility of using these polymers as biosensors. When domains are present in a ferroelectric film, strong local electric fields appear, which can affect the activity of living cells. Using the direct and reverse piezoelectric effect, it is possible to stimulate and control the functions of various tissues, including the nervous tissue. <br> The bibliography includes 463 references.
Ki-67 Index as an Adjunct Histological Marker for Grading Cartilage Tumors: A Pilot Study

Published: September 2023

Objectives Distinguishing enchondromas (grade 0) from grade 1 chondrosarcomas, recently classified as atypical cartilaginous tumors (ACT), is challenging due to histologic and radiographic similarity. However, diagnostic ambiguity poses a management dilemma: enchondromas are observed, while ACTs are excised. Protein Ki-67 is a cellular proliferation nuclear marker used as a proxy for aggressiveness in other tumors. This retrospective pilot study aimed to characterize the association between grade and Ki-67 index and evaluate its ability to aid differentiation between critical cartilage tumor grades. Methods Tissue blocks from 26 patients treated for enchondromas or chondrosarcomas within the past ten years were exposed to anti-Ki-67 rabbit monoclonal antibody and hematoxylin counterstain. Counting two high-power fields per sample yielded a Ki-67 index. Results There was a strong positive correlation between tumor grade and the Ki-67 index (r = 0.704, P<0.001). One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed significant differences in the Ki-67 index between grades (P<0.001). Tukey’s post-hoc test demonstrated that enchondroma Ki-67 indexes were not significantly different from ACT Ki-67 indexes (P=0.094). Receiver operator curve cutoff index value of 13.4% differentiated enchondroma vs. ACT with 67.9% sensitivity and 42.9% specificity. Conclusion Ki-67 index is correlated with cartilage tumor grade. Although our study did not show a significant difference in the Ki-67 index between enchondromas from ACTs, this study provided a protocol for future investigations. Study limitations include small sample size and reliance on historical tissue blocks of variable preservation quality.
