Published: June 2023

In the practice of any exploration or oil producing enterprise, the parameters of a productive or potentially promising geological target are estimated using a method of temporary tracking and recording of a change in level/pressure based on the classical principle of sequential change of stationary states. Its main drawback against the background of wide practical application is the incorrect determination of the reliable value of the productivity coefficient (Kprod) for complex reservoir rocks, especially those with strong texture heterogeneity, which in reality is not enough to draw up high-quality and most importantly real design technological documents for the integrated development of oil and gas fields. Hence the large degree of conventionality of the results obtained during office processing, as well as various opinions among specialists on the problems of interpretation of hydrodynamic studies of wells. The special literature on oilfield geology and hydrodynamic studies contains numerous attempts by different researchers from various sides to overcome this (significant in the opinion of the authors of the article) drawback of using the above method, but so far there have been no noticeable positive "shifts" in this direction. Everything rests on the bulkiness and complexity of the proposed analytical solutions.
Based on many years of research, the authors of the article give their vision of solving this problem. The proposed modified grapho-analytical method of calculation in low-flow non-permeation wells that penetrated reservoir rocks with oils with Newtonian properties makes it possible to estimate the reliable value of the productivity factor of the reservoirs (Kprod) in the conditions of the formation pressure deficit that exists everywhere in the fields of the West Siberian oil and gas basin (with stationary flat-radial filtration).

Prevalence of urinary incontinence in women
Authors: Soni Retasha , Bindra Supreet 
Published: June 2023

Background: Urinary incontinence (UI) is a common gynaecological problem among women, causing both physical and psychological distress in them. It is one of the neglected as well as an under-reported issue not only in India but globally also. Thus, this matter needs to be addressed and explored because of the paucity of the literature available especially on Indian population. Therefore, the aim of the study was to find out the prevalence of UI in women which will aid in addressing such critical issues.
Methods: Data was collected by using an online survey via Google forms sent through social media. Total 118 women respondents aged between 20-70 years participated by filling the form. It included an Informed Consent form, Socio-demographic details, Obstetric and Gynaecological history along with a QUID questionnaire. UI was classified as stress, urge and mixed type.
Results: The overall prevalence of UI was found to be 27.1%. Stress UI (43.7%) was the most common type followed by Mixed UI (31.2%) and then the Urge UI (25%).
Conclusions: The study outlines a prevalence of 27.1% of UI among women, as a result making it a substantial problem in the society. Emphasis should be laid on the need of creating vigorous awareness among women as well as on the timely introduction of different physiotherapy-cum-rehabilitative programs in order to abate such problems.

Değişen Otoriteler: Sünnî ve Şiî Halkalarda Müşterek Nakledilen Bir Rivayetin İncelemesi
Öz
Ehl-i sünnet ve Şîa’nın hadis literatüründeki müşterek rivayetlerin isnad ve metinleri hadis tarihinin erken dönemlerine dair bilgi sunan önemli bir kaynaktır. Bu makalede konu edilen ve metni anlamlı değişiklikler içeren “İslam’ın aslı namaz, fer‘i zekat, zirvesi Allah yolunda cihattır” hadisi, söz konusu özelliklere sahip müşterek rivayetlerdendir. Nitekim bu hadis Sünnî literatürde Allah Resûlü ve Muâz b. Cebel, Şiî kaynaklarda ise Muhammed el-Bâkır ve Cafer es-Sâdık’ın ashâbıyla yaptığı konuşmalar sırasında nakledilir. Rivayete konu olan otoritelerin ve kişilerin rollerindeki değişimin nasıl meydana geldiğini tespit etmek amacıyla, ilk olarak hadisin Şiî isnad ve metinleri hakkında bilgi verilmiş, özellikle râvilerin Ehl-i hadis halkalarıyla irtibatlı olup olmadığı belirlenmiştir. Ardından Sünnî literatürdeki isnad ve metinlere işaret edilmiş, bunları nakleden râvilerin Şiî ders meclisleriyle olan bağlantılarına ve Şiî görüşleri benimseyip benimsemediklerine bakılmıştır. Böylece rivayetin bir ekolün ders halkasından diğerine ne zaman, nerede ve hangi râviler vasıtasıyla intikal ettiği, ayrıca metin farklılıklarının hangi gerekçelerle meydana geldiği tespit edilmiştir.
Inclusivity and the remote doctorate supervision experience of a student with disability in a South African university
Authors: Akala Benard 
Published: June 2023

These are personal accounts blended with literature on higher education in South Africa that reveal my experiences as a patient and a disabled online doctoral student. In recovery, I encountered challenges in reading, walking, speaking, and swallowing. Using the narrative technique, this article highlights the academic challenges that I experienced as I transformed into a disabled online doctoral student. To demonstrate the strength of habitus as espoused, the faculty of education demanded an abeyance letter explaining the delay in my doctoral studies. The paper reveals delays in receiving feedback, lack of physical, and intellectual feedback from PhD colleagues and my experience of the burden of critical thinking about doctoral studies. The paper recommends that the Department of education along with higher education institutions should spell out what should be done when a higher education student(s) develops disability(ies)while enrolled and the extent to which they can be included in institutions of higher learning.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
With the rapid development of China's economy, the development of wind resources has important practical significance for alleviating environmental pollution problems in various provinces and cities in China. As China's clean energy province and t western economic center, Sichuan's wind power industry is gradually starting from the 13th Five-Year Plan. Considering the volatility and periodic characteristics of wind power generation in Sichuan Province, this paper proposes an optimized seasonal grey model based on a novel algorithm (Aquila Optimizer). We use dummy variables 1 and 0 to represent seasonal factors and perform seasonal classification of the sample data. According to the classification sequence, we construct a grey prediction model with optimized initial value and background value by Aquila Optimizer. In this paper, we use this model to predict wind power generation in Sichuan Province and verify the validity and rationality of the model by comparing it with other methods. Finally, we further predicted the power generation during the 14th Five-Year Plan period to provide policy advice and planning for the future development of the clean energy industry in Sichuan Province.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
To solve the problem of a small key space of image cryptosystem based on logistic, this paper presents a new 1D chaotic map with a wider and continuous chaotic ranges, much larger Lyapunov exponent and more complex behavior. Then, a novel image cryptosystem based on the proposed map and dynamic DNA encoding is designed. Compared other DNA encoding image encryption methods, our dynamic DNA coding process is simple, easy to operate and implement with good effect. Experimental results presented that compared with the fixed DNA and recent related chaos-based image encryption schemes, the proposed cryptosystem has higher security.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Background.
Classic morbidities in the realm of hospital-at-home (HAH) include infectious diseases and exacerbations of chronic conditions. Electrolyte disturbances are not included in the recommended primary diagnoses of HAH. However, their rate is high. The aim of this study was to describe our experience with monitoring and treatment of such patients.
Methods.
This was a retrospective analysis of patients in the setting of telemedicine-controlled HAH. We collected data from Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) and selected patients who suffered, at some point during their hospitalizations, from electrolyte disturbances.
Results.
During 14 months, we treated a total of 267 patients in the HAH settings. The mean patients’ age was 72.2 + 16.4, 44.2% were males. Overall, 261 (97.75%) patients were flagged with electrolyte disturbances. Within this group, we identified 149 cases of true electrolyte disturbances (with several patients suffering from more than one electrolyte disturbance) after normalization: 67 cases (44.96%) had hyponatremia and 9 (6.04%) had hypernatremia, after correction for hyperglycemia. 20 cases (13.42%) of hypokalemia and 27 cases (18.12%) of hyperkalemia after exclusion of hemolytic samples. 10 cases (6.09%) of hypocalcemia and 2 cases (1.34%) of hypercalcemia, both corrected to albumin blood levels. We identified 13 cases (8.72%) of hypomagnesemia and 1 case (0.67%) of hypermagnesemia. Within the group of patients suffering from electrolyte disturbances there were more patients suffering from chronic kidney disease (24.2% vs. 12.2%; p = 0.03), a larger portion of patients suffering from malignancy (6.3% vs. 0.6%; p = 0.006) and a larger portion of patients treated with diuretics (12.6% vs. 4.1%; p = 0.016). None of these patients died nor suffered from clinically significant cardiac arrhythmias.
Conclusion.
The extent of electrolyte disturbances amongst patients at the HAH setting is high. Monitoring and treatment of such patients can be done safely in this setting.

Abstract
Background
Opioids are pain relievers that are often associated with opioid-induced constipation (OIC) that worsens with age. We performed a multicenter, retrospective analysis on the efficacy and safety of naldemedine, an opioid receptor antagonist, in treating OIC in patients with cancer (age > 75 years).
Methods
The electronic medical records of cancer patients who received naldemedine at 10 Japanese institutions between June 7, 2017, and August 31, 2019, were retrieved. Patients aged ≥ 75 years who were treated with naldemedine for the first time and hospitalized for at least 7 days before and after initiating naldemedine therapy were included in this analysis.
Results
The patient’s bowel movements were evaluated for at least 7 days before and after naldemedine initiation. The response rate was 68.3%, and the frequency of bowel movements increased significantly after naldemedine administration in the overall population (p < 0.0001) and among those who defecated < 3 times/week before naldemedine administration (p < 0.0001). Diarrhea was the most frequent adverse event in all grades, observed in 45% of patients, of which 92.6% were Grade 1 or 2. Grade 4 or higher adverse events, including death, were not observed.
Conclusions
Naldemedine exhibits significant efficacy and safety in OIC treatment in older patients with cancer.
Vasorelaxing effect of 6β-hydroxybetulinic acid
Authors: Carocci Antonella , Estrada Omar 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are currently the main causes of morbidity and mortality in the world. The available medications have undesirable side effects or lose effectiveness due to pharmacological tolerance. For this reason, it is necessary to look for new molecules and therapeutic alternatives for its treatment. 6-Hydroxybetulinic acid is a triterpene isolated from the leaves of Licania cruegeriana that demonstrated a hypotensive effect in hypertensive rats. In the present work, we evaluated the vasorelaxing effect of this triterpene in rat aortic rings (ex vivo) and its possible action mechanism. 6β-hydroxybetulinic acid develops its vasorelaxing effect in a concentration-dependent manner, and not dependent on the vascular endothelium (n:6, IC50: 9.98 µM) and induced by phenylephrine or KCl in rat aortic rings in a non-competitive manner. The 6HB-induced vasorelaxation was related to the inhibition of Ca2+ inflow from the extracellular medium and the inhibition of NO/GMPc pathway. Since vascular tone is a determinant of arterial pressure in mammals, these results could partially explain the hypotensive effect demonstrated in in vivo experiments.

Published: June 2023

Abstract

The dynamics of neuron populations during diverse behaviours evolve on low-dimensional manifolds. However, it remains challenging to disentangle the role of manifold geometry and dynamics in encoding task variables. Here, we introduce an unsupervised geometric deep learning framework for representing non-linear dynamical systems based on statistical distributions of local dynamical features. Our method provides geometry-aware or geometry-agnostic representations for robustly comparing dynamical systems based on sparse measurements. Our representations are generalisable to compare computations across systems, interpretable to discover a geometric correspondence between neural dynamics and kinematics in a primate reaching task, and intrinsically encode temporal information to give rise to a decoding algorithm with state-of-the-art accuracy. Our results suggest that using the manifold structure over temporal information is important to develop better decoding algorithms and assimilate data across experiments.
Difference analysis of intestinal flora in ICU patients with different sampling methods -a systematic Review and meta-analysis
Authors: Qiu Songlin , Zheng Binyan , Pan Juan , Xu Jiufei , Yu Sufei , Qian Jiao , Wang Yilan , Shen Bo , Tung Tao-Hsin 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Background
ICU patients often use swab samples instead of stool samples for subsequent analysis due to the complexity of sampling. Whether there are significant differences in the gut microbiota between the two specimen types (stool and swab) has not been determined. We performed a meta-analysis to investigate whether gut microbiota obtained by different sampling methods were altered.
Methods
A systematic review of studies published in electronic databases up to December 2022 was performed. We included 11 studies that analyzed the abundance and diversity of gut microbiota using standard deviation means and random-effects models for different sampling methods and for ICU patients and healthy cohorts
Results
After entering the ICU for treatment, the intestinal flora of the patients and the normal population were significantly different, and the diversity and richness of the flora were significantly higher than those of the healthy population. In addition, using two different sampling methods, feces and swabs, had no significant effect on the α-diversity of intestinal flora in ICU patients.
Conclusion
Our results provide a comprehensive synthesis to better understand gut microbial perturbations associated between different sampling methods, as well as differences in the microbiota between ICU patients and healthy populations.
Perception of Temporal Synchrony Not a Prerequisite for Multisensory Integration
Authors: Jertberg Robert M. , Begeer Sander , Geurts Hilde M. , Chakrabarti Bhismadev , Burg Erik Van der 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Temporal alignment is often viewed as the most essential cue the brain can use to integrate information from across sensory modalities. However, the importance of conscious perception of synchrony to multisensory integration is a controversial topic. Conversely, the influence of cross-modal incongruence of higher level stimulus features such as phonetics on temporal processing is poorly understood. To explore the nuances of this relationship between temporal processing and multisensory integration, we presented 101 participants (ranging from 19 to 73 years of age) with stimuli designed to elicit the McGurk/MacDonald illusion (either matched or mismatched pairs of phonemes and visemes) with varying degrees of stimulus onset asynchrony between the visual and auditory streams. We asked them to indicate which syllable they perceived and whether the video and audio were synchronized on each trial. We found that participants often experienced the illusion despite not perceiving the stimuli as synchronous, and that the same phonetic incongruence that produced the illusion also led to significant interference in simultaneity judgments. These findings challenge the longstanding assumption that perception of synchrony is a prerequisite to multisensory integration, support a more flexible view of multisensory integration, and suggest a complex, reciprocal relationship between temporal and multisensory processing.
Effect of dietary cholesterol, phytosterol, and docosahexaenoic acid on astaxanthin absorption and retention in rainbow trout
Authors: Jin Yang , Li Keshuai , Vik Jon Olav , Hillestad Marie , Olsen Rolf Erik 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Astaxanthin (Ax) determines the flesh redness of a salmonid fish which is the most desirable quality indicator by consumers. Fish cannot synthesize Ax de novo, therefore the only way to increase flesh redness is to increase dietary input or the absorption and retention rate of dietary Ax. As a hydrophobic carotenoid, the absorption of Ax can be modulated by other lipid molecules in the diet. The present study explored the effect of three lipids, cholesterol (CH), phytosterol (PS) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on Ax absorption, transport, and retention in rainbow trout. Dietary CH significantly improved Ax absorption by elevating plasma Ax levels (p < 0.05), however it had no effect on whole body Ax or flesh color. Dietary PS appears to inhibit Ax absorption since fish had significantly (p < 0.05) reduced whole body Ax. Dietary DHA appeared to have no effect on Ax absorption or retention. By comparing intestinal transcriptomes, we have identified the gene low density lipoprotein receptor (ldlr) which was significantly downregulated in fish fed the cholesterol diet as compared to the control diet. Since ldlr plays a major role in plasma lipoprotein turnover, we hypothesized that the inhibition of ldlr by high dietary cholesterol resulted in higher retention of plasma astaxanthin. The elevation of plasma astaxanthin was not reflected in higher flesh coloration, which suggest other limiting factors governing astaxanthin retention in muscle. However, the transcriptomic and proteomic analyses found no changes of genes or proteins involved in Ax absorption, transport, or excretion in fish fed PS or DHA diets as compared to the control. In conclusion, our study has suggested that CH promotes Ax absorption by regulating lipoprotein retention and provide evidence for improving Ax absorption via dietary modulation.

Abstract

A preliminary study of the odonate fauna of Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary, Kerala, southern India was carried out from August 2020 to November 2020. Ponds, streams, and swamps in the sanctuary were sampled using Visual Encounter Surveys (VES). A total of 84 species (49 dragonflies and 35 damselflies) from 11 families were recorded, out of which 13 are endemic to the Western Ghats. Orthetrum pruinosum was found to be the most common species in the sanctuary. Indolestes pulcherrimus, an endemic species with no recent records, is being reported for the first time with photographs from the wild. The highest number of species was recorded in the ponds (56), followed by streams (46) and swamps (33). However, the number of endemic species was highest in the streams (8), followed by swamps (3) and ponds (2).
