Authors: Burayu Dawit , Shiferaw Kitessa 
Published: October 2022

The study integrates GIS, Remote Sensing and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) to evaluate suitable sites for surface irrigation by taking eight parameters into account, including slope, elevation, distance to water source, land use, soil texture, soil type, soil depth, and soil drainage in Wama watershed. A numeric range was created by standardizing each parameter to a single measurement scale, with higher values denoting more suitable and lower values denoting less suitable one. The final site suitability map was prepared in GIS environment by using the weighted overlay method. Distance to streams (44%), slope (18%), elevation (13%), LULC (13%), and soil drainage (5%) scored highly in the pairwise comparison matrix. Additionally, they are the most crucial elements in evaluating eligible lands for surface irrigation, followed by soil depth (4%), soil type (3%), and soil texture (2%). The final suitability map, which will aid in supporting rain-fed agriculture by surface irrigation, was developed with four classifications highly suitable (16%), moderately suitable (49%), marginally suitable (34%), and not suitable (1%). Therefore, this study demonstrates a robust method of using GIS and remote sensing techniques, which is efficient and useful in mapping potential site suitability for surface irrigation and an important guideline for planners, and decision-makers to give the fast decision for irrigation management.

Published: October 2022

ABSTRACT
Migration is a phenomenon encountered in almost every period of human history. However, today it has become a global problem. In addition to economic reasons, it is seen that the number of people who migrate due to reasons such as war and disasters is increasing. Immigrants face various risks during and after the migration process. In some countries, migrant workers are perceived as cheap labor and are generally preferred in the informal sector. This causes migrant workers, who are already vulnerable, to be socially unprotected and in an insecure environment. With Covid-19, the fact that immigrants are at a higher risk of losing their jobs and social protection inadequacies forced them to live in more difficult conditions. This study aims to emphasize the importance of social protection and social security problems of immigrants, who are more vulnerable and vulnerable in socio-economic terms, and to offer suggestions for this. For this purpose, relevant international standards and country practices were among the topics discussed.
Das Familienfideikommiss von Ostrog im Lichte des Testaments von Paweł Karol Sanguszko aus dem Jahr 1743
Authors: Graczyk Waldemar 
Published: October 2022

Ordynacja zwana Ostrogską została założona przez księcia Janusza Ostrogskiego za zgodą sejmu Rzeczypospolitej w 1609 roku. W jej skład miały wchodzić dobra Ostrogskiego położone w województwach wołyńskim, kijowskim, sandomierskim i krakowskim. Ordynacja Ostrogska dostała się w ręce książąt Sanguszków za sprawą drugiej żony Pawła Karola Sanguszki (1680-1750), Marianny z Lubomirskich Sanguszkowej (zm. 1729), córki Józefa Karola Lubomirskiego i Teofili z Zasławskich, oraz siostry Aleksandra Dominika Lubomirskiego, ordynata Ostrogskiego. Po śmierci brata w 1720 roku weszła w posiadanie ordynacji Ostrogskiej. Dobra wchodzące w skład ordynacji ostrogskiej zostały wymienione w testamencie księcia Pawła Karola Sanguszki ze wskazaniem swego syna Janusza Aleksandra jako do niego należące.
Management of Anaphylaxis in Pediatric Population
Authors: Kuyucu Semanur , Arıkoğlu Tuğba , Ozhan Aylin Kont 
Published: October 2022

Abstract:
Although an increase in the incidence of childhood anaphylaxis has been reported, it remains underdiagnosed.
Foods are the most common triggers for anaphylaxis, particularly cow’s milk, hen’s egg, and nuts.
Other common causes of anaphylaxis in children and adolescents include venom and drugs. The skin is the
most commonly affected organ, but approximately 10% of patients with anaphylaxis may present without skin
symptoms, which can lead to misdiagnosis. Recognition of anaphylaxis is a great challenge in children, possibly
due to a lack of vigilance among patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals, but also in part due to
discrepancies in the clinical definition of anaphylaxis. In addition, anaphylaxis in infants often poses a distinct
challenge because the wide spectrum of clinical manifestations and the inability of infants to describe their
symptoms may hinder prompt diagnosis and treatment. Given the rapid onset of anaphylaxis and its unpredictable
severity, rapid assessment and appropriate treatment are critical. Although the morbidity and mortality associated
with anaphylaxis are potentially preventable with the timely administration of life-saving epinephrine,
anaphylaxis is still undertreated worldwide. Long-term management of pediatric anaphylaxis is a patientcentered,
multidimensional approach that focuses on the recognition of anaphylaxis, the use of epinephrine auto-
injectors, and prevention of recurrences. Therefore, close communication and collaboration between the
child, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and schools are the cornerstone of long-term care. This paper is designed
to provide a comprehensive overview of current perspectives and concepts related to anaphylaxis in the
pediatric population in light of recent guidelines and literature.
Synthesis and Preliminary Evaluations of [18F]fluorinated Pyridine-2-
carboxamide Derivatives for Targeting PD-L1 in Cancer
Authors: Samnick Samuel , Maier Philipp , Riehl Gabriele , Israel Ina 
Published: October 2022

Background:
Treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors has improved both progression-free survival and overall survival in a subset of patients with tumors. However, the selection of patients who benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment remains challenging. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a non-invasive molecular imaging tool, which offers a promising alternative to the current IHC for detecting the PD-L1 expression in malignant cells in vivo, enabling patient selection and predicting the response to individual patient immunotherapy treatment.

Objective:
Herein, we report the development of novel [18F]labeled pyridine-2-carboxamide derivatives [18F]2 and [18F]3 as small-molecule probes for imaging immune checkpoint (PD-1/PD-L1) in cancer using PET.

Results:
[18F]2 and [18F]3 were prepared by an one-step radiofluorination in and 44 ± 5% and 30 ± 4% radiochemical yield and > 98% radiochemical purity for a potential clinical translation. The total synthesis time including HPLC purification was less than 45 min. [18F]2 and [18F]3 showed an excellent stability in injection solution and a significant accumulation and retention in PD-1/PD-L1 expressing MDA-MB-231 breast cancer and in HeLa cervix carcinoma cells (2- 5 cpm/1000 cells). In addition, autoradiographic analysis and inhibition experiments on tumor slices confirm the potential of both compounds as specific imaging probes for the PD-1/PD-L1 axis in tumors.

Conclusion:
The in vitro evaluation in PD-L1 expressing cells together with results from autoradiographic analysis in PD-L1 positive tumor sections suggest that [18F]2 and [18F]3 could be potential imaging probes for assessing PD-L1 expression in tumors, and warrant further biological evaluations in vivo.

Published: October 2022

Background:
Many of women and pregnant women are front-line health care workers in the COVID-19 era and are worried about the possible impacts of COVID-19 on their fetus. Due to the pressure and high working load on the healthcare workers during the COVID-19 crisis, the healthcare workers were potentially at risk of different types of mental health disorders.

Objective:
We aimed to evaluate the correlation between mental health status and the level of COVID-19 related anxiety in pregnant healthcare workers in the COVID-19 era in Iran from August 2020 to December 2020.

Methods:
This cross-sectional study included 64 pregnant clinical residents, general physicians, nurses and other medical staff who worked in the hospitals in Iran, from August 2020 to December 2020 using an anonymous online survey available on Google Form platform. The online survey consisted of socio-demographic questions, pregnancy-related questions, and questions about medical/drug history. The Persian versions of General Health Questionnaire – 28 [GHQ-28], and Corona Disease Anxiety Scale [CDAS] were also filled by the participants.

Results:
The mean age and gestational age of the participants were 31.3±3.9 years, and 24.5±10.1 weeks respectively. Psychological problems were moderate [total score GHQ-28> 40] in 9.4% [n: 6] of the pregnant healthcare workers. The frequency of moderate/severe problems in the four subclasses, including somatic symptoms, anxiety/insomnia, social dysfunction, and depression were 9[14.1%], 25[39.0%], 7[10.9%], and 10[15.6%], respectively. According to CDAS, 26.5% of participants had moderate to severe COVID-19 related anxiety. COVID-19 related anxiety and its subclasses, physical and psychological, were significantly correlated with GHQ-28 total score and its subclasses, including somatic symptoms, anxiety/insomnia, social dysfunction, and depression among pregnant health care workers [P<0.01].

Conclusion:
According to the results of the current study, over 25% of the pregnant health care workers have moderate to severe COVID-19 related anxiety; so, it is crucial for policymakers to focus on the mental health of the pregnant health care workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Energy Efficiency and Resource Allocation Optimization with MIMONOMA
and Backhaul Beam-forming in User-centric Ultra-dense
Networks
Authors: Mancharla Ravi , Sheikh Tasher Ali , Bulo Yaka 
Published: October 2022

Background:
Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is viewed as the key multiple access
technology for 5G and beyond networks, attracting the attention of academics and industries.
NOMA and the multiple input multiple output (MIMO-NOMA) technology can improve a system’s
throughput, latency, and energy efficiency (EE) in future-generation communication networks.

Objective:
The objective of this paper is to achieve maximum EE by applying the Max-min Power
Control Algorithm (MMPCA) through sub-channel optimization, resource allocation (RA) optimization,
access point selection (APS), and user association. The EE results obtained with and without using
MMPCA are compared to the RA optimization from a conventional water-filling algorithm
(WFA).

Method:
This paper formulates a framework for user-centric (UC) joint resource allocation, such as
backhaul connection via beam-forming and Access point (AP) to user connection via MIMO-NOMA.
The user without interference is decoded using the NOMA principle. The MMPCA was also used to
optimize cooperative power allocation, sub-channel allocation, and efficient user association. The RA
for EE is framed as a mixed non-convex and non-linear function using successive convex approximation
and sum ratio decoupling converted into convex and linear. A bisection method was used to
achieve optimal RA, user association, and sub-channel assignment.

Results and Conclusion:
The simulation shows energy efficiency (EE) improvement. Similarly, it is
observed that MMPCA outperforms the WFA.
Motion Artifact Reduction in Electrocardiogram Signals Through a Redundant Denoising Independent Component Analysis Method for Wearable Health Care Monitoring Systems: Algorithm Development and Validation
Authors: Castaño Usuga Fabian Andres , Gissel Christian , Hernández Alher Mauricio 
Published: October 2022

Background
The quest for improved diagnosis and treatment in home health care models has led to the development of wearable medical devices for remote vital signs monitoring. An accurate signal and a high diagnostic yield are critical for the cost-effectiveness of wearable health care monitoring systems and their widespread application in resource-constrained environments. Despite technological advances, the information acquired by these devices can be contaminated by motion artifacts (MA) leading to misdiagnosis or repeated procedures with increases in associated costs. This makes it necessary to develop methods to improve the quality of the signal acquired by these devices.

Objective
We aimed to present a novel method for electrocardiogram (ECG) signal denoising to reduce MA. We aimed to analyze the method’s performance and to compare its performance to that of existing approaches.

Methods
We present the novel Redundant denoising Independent Component Analysis method for ECG signal denoising based on the redundant and simultaneous acquisition of ECG signals and movement information, multichannel processing, and performance assessment considering the information contained in the signal waveform. The method is based on data including ECG signals from the patient’s chest and back, the acquisition of triaxial movement signals from inertial measurement units, a reference signal synthesized from an autoregressive model, and the separation of interest and noise sources through multichannel independent component analysis.

Results
The proposed method significantly reduced MA, showing better performance and introducing a smaller distortion in the interest signal compared with other methods. Finally, the performance of the proposed method was compared to that of wavelet shrinkage and wavelet independent component analysis through the assessment of signal-to-noise ratio, dynamic time warping, and a proposed index based on the signal waveform evaluation with an ensemble average ECG.

Conclusions
Our novel ECG denoising method is a contribution to converting wearable devices into medical monitoring tools that can be used to support the remote diagnosis and monitoring of cardiovascular diseases. A more accurate signal substantially improves the diagnostic yield of wearable devices. A better yield improves the devices’ cost-effectiveness and contributes to their widespread application.

Published: October 2022

BACKGROUND

Guidelines established by the American Academy of Dermatology recommend oral antibiotics as first-line therapy for mild, moderate, and severe acne. However, it is recommended to minimize the duration of oral antibiotic use, and there is increasing support for other systemic agents for acne.

OBJECTIVE

We sought to characterize the use of oral antibiotics and isotretinoin for the treatment of acne in the pediatric and young adult population aged 10 through 20 years and the adult population aged 21 to 45 years from 2011 to 2019.

METHODS

We conducted a retrospective, observational cohort study using electronic data from the enterprise data warehouse of the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and its affiliates, with data in the format of the Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics (OHDSI) Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) common data model. Categorical values (sex, race, and ethnicity) were compared using chi-square tests, and continuous variables (age) were compared using 2-tailed <i>t</i> tests.

RESULTS

Our cohort of 15,704 patients was composed of mostly White (12,776/15,704, 81.4%), non-Hispanic or Latino (13,307/15,704, 84.7%), and female (11,093/15,704, 70.6%) patients. Among the 4605 male patients in the eligible cohort, 1810 (39%) received an oral antibiotic treatment, in comparison to 3109 (28%) of the 11,093 eligible women (<i>P</i>&lt;.001). Among the 4605 men who were eligible for treatment with isotretinoin in this population, 988 (21.5%) received a course of isotretinoin, compared to only 10.4% (1159/11,093) eligible women (<i>P</i>&lt;.001). Male patients were 1.67 times more likely to have received an antibiotic prescription (odds ratio [OR] 1.67, 95% CI 1.55-1.79) and over twice as likely to have received an isotretinoin prescription (OR 2.34, 95% CI 2.13-2.57) than female patients.

CONCLUSIONS

Minocycline was the most frequently prescribed antibiotic for the treatment of acne in this study cohort. From 2015 to 2019, there was no significant change in the number of antibiotic prescriptions over time. Men were significantly more likely to receive both oral antibiotics and isotretinoin than female patients. Multiple factors could be contributing to this discrepancy, including the burden of iPLEDGE, additional systemic treatment options for female patients, and the difference in acne severity across sexes. We could not determine the difference in severity of acne between male and female patients in our cohort, and further research is needed to ascertain the variation across sexes.
Adaptation Patterns of the Berbers in Morocco and Algeria: Julian Steward's Cultural Ecological Perspectives
Authors: Zulfa Rafika Fidlaty 
Published: October 2022

The relationship between the environment and humans is not one-way. How humans adapt to their environment affects the culture and environment that will be formed in the region. Berber which is one of the largest ethnic groups in the Middle East, especially North Africa, has a unique and diverse pattern of adaptation. This paper focuses on research on the adaptation pattern of the Berbers in the two regions with the largest populations, namely Algeria and Morocco. Viewed from the perspective of Julian Steward's cultural ecology, the Berber tribe which is synonymous with nomadic and herding habits is a form of environmental adaptation in the Sahara desert, while trading and farming is a form of adaptation of the Berber tribes who live and settle in the Rifs mountains in Morocco and some hilly valleys such as Kabylie , Aures, and M'azb in Algeria. The results showed that herding, nomads, exploring water holes in the desert, navigating the stars, making tents and clothes from wool and sheepskin were the result of the adaptation of the Berbers to the environment they inhabited.

This study aimed to reveal the functions of the jumlah ismiyyah which consist anna al-maṣdariyyah in the novel Abwābu al-Madīnati by Ilyās Khūrī by utilizing syntactic theory related to functions. The data in this study were in the form of jumlah ismiyyah consisting of anna al-maṣdariyyah. Technique of collecting data in this study used the referral method with tapping technique as a basic technique and note-taking technique as an advanced technique. This study used the agih method as the analysis stage with the Direct Element Technique (BUL) as a basic technique with i‘rāb model and substitution technique as an advanced technique. Furthermore, the presentation of the results of data analysis was done by using informal methods.
Based on the research that has been done, it can be concluded that in the Abwābu al-Madīnati novel by Ilyās Khūrī, there were 101 jumlah ismiyyah consisting of anna al-maṣdariyyah. Those 101 jumlah ismiyyah were classified based on their functions, such as khabar mubtada`, fā‘il, maf‘ūl bih, mustaṡnā, ma‘ṭūf, and ism majrūr. Jumlah ismiyyah consisting of anna al-maṣdariyyah with the form maṣdar mu`awwal can be replaced with ism in the form of maṣdar ṣarīḥ. The substitution of maṣdar mu`awwal with the form maṣdar ṣarīḥ did not cause a change in meaning and grammatical function because both of them get the same position in a sentence. Then the use of maṣdar mu`awwal in that novel gives a specific time marker for an action in a sentence and makes the meaning of the sentence become more cultured.
