Published: July 2022

Background:
Breast cancer is among the most common malignancies in women around the world. There is evidence of high prevalence of serum/blood Vitamin D deficiency in Iranian women. Considering the multitude of factors that may be involved in the prognosis and lifespan of breast cancer patients, this study investigated the level of Vitamin D in Iranian patients with nonmetastatic breast cancer.

Materials and Methods:
This cross-sectional study was carried out on 214 women diagnosed with breast cancer, who were referred to the radio-oncology department. Serum Vitamin D level of the patients was measured. Prognostic factors were determined based on demographic and pathological characteristics. The results were analyzed using descriptive statistics tests, Chi-square, one-way analysis of variance, Kaplan–Meier, and Cox regression model in SPSS v22. For all cases, the significance level was considered to be P < 0.05.

Results:
The total mean of 25-hydroxyvitamin D serum level was 25.15 ± 17.68 ng/ml. There was no significant relationship between levels of Vitamin D with disease stage, tumor size, tumor grade, estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (P > 0.05). The mean survival time was 5 years and 45 days.

Conclusion:
No relationship was found between serum Vitamin D levels and the factors affecting the prognosis of nonmetastatic breast cancer. The Cox analysis showed that the survival time was not influenced by Vitamin D as a prognosis factor.

Aridec: an open database of litter mass loss from aridlands worldwide with recommendations on suitable model applications
Authors: Sarquis Agustín , Siebenhart Ignacio Andrés , Austin Amy Theresa , Sierra Carlos A. 
Published: July 2022

Abstract. Plant litter decomposition in terrestrial ecosystems involves the
physical and chemical breakdown of organic matter. Development of databases
is a promising tool for achieving a predictive understanding of organic
matter degradation at regional and global scales. In this paper, we present
aridec, a comprehensive open database containing litter mass loss data from
aridlands across the world. We describe in detail the structure of the
database and discuss general patterns in the data. Then, we explore what are
the most appropriate model structures to integrate with data on litter
decomposition from the database by conducting a collinearity analysis. The
database includes 184 entries from aridlands across the world, representing
a wide range of climates. For the majority of the data gathered in aridec, it is
possible to fit models of litter decomposition that consider initial organic
matter as a homogenous reservoir (one pool models), as well as models with
two distinct types of organic compounds that decompose at different speeds
(two pool models). Moreover, these two carbon pools can either decompose
without interaction (parallel models) or with matter transfer from a labile
pool to a slowly decomposing pool after transformation (series models).
Although most entries in the database can be used to fit these models, we
suggest that potential users of this database test identifiability for each
individual case as well as the number of degrees of freedom. Other model
applications that are not discussed in this publication might also be
suitable for use with this database. Lastly, we give some recommendations
for future decomposition studies to be potentially added to this database.
The extent of the information included in aridec in addition to its open-science
approach makes it a great platform for future collaborative efforts in the
field of aridland biogeochemistry. The aridec version 1.0.2 is archived and
publicly available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6600345
(Sarquis et al., 2022), and the database is managed under
a version-controlled system and centrally stored in GitHub

Abstract. Satellite-based Earth observations (EO) are an accurate and
reliable data source for atmospheric and environmental science. Their
increasing spatial and temporal resolutions, as well as the seamless
availability over ungauged regions, make them appealing for hydrological
modeling. This work shows recent advances in the use of high-resolution
satellite-based EO data in hydrological modeling. In a set of six
experiments, the distributed hydrological model Continuum is set up for the
Po River basin (Italy) and forced, in turn, by satellite precipitation and
evaporation, while satellite-derived soil moisture (SM) and snow depths are
ingested into the model structure through a data-assimilation scheme.
Further, satellite-based estimates of precipitation, evaporation, and river
discharge are used for hydrological model calibration, and results are
compared with those based on ground observations. Despite the high density
of conventional ground measurements and the strong human influence in the
focus region, all satellite products show strong potential for operational
hydrological applications, with skillful estimates of river discharge
throughout the model domain. Satellite-based evaporation and snow depths
marginally improve (by 2 % and 4 %) the mean Kling–Gupta efficiency
(KGE) at 27 river gauges, compared to a baseline simulation
(KGEmean= 0.51) forced by high-quality conventional data. Precipitation
has the largest impact on the model output, though the satellite data on
average shows poorer skills compared to conventional data. Interestingly, a
model calibration heavily relying on satellite data, as opposed to
conventional data, provides a skillful reconstruction of river discharges,
paving the way to fully satellite-driven hydrological applications.

Published: July 2022

Abstract. Soil structure in terms of the spatial arrangement of pores and solids is highly relevant for most physical and biochemical processes in soil. While this was known for a long time, a scientific approach to quantify soil structural characteristics was also missing for a long time. This was due to its buried nature but also due to the three-dimensional complexity. During the last two decades, tools to acquire full 3D images of undisturbed soil became more and more available and a number of powerful software tools were developed to reduce the complexity to a set of meaningful numbers. However, the standardization of soil structure analysis for a better comparability of the results is not well developed and the accessibility of required computing facilities and software is still limited. At this stage, we introduce an open-access Soil Structure Library (https://structurelib.ufz.de/, last access: 22 July 2022) which offers well-defined soil structure analyses for X-ray CT (computed tomography) data sets uploaded by interested scientists. At the same time, the aim of this library is to serve as an open data source for real pore structures as developed in a wide spectrum of different soil types under different site conditions all over the globe, by making accessible the uploaded binarized 3D images. By combining pore structure metrics with essential soil information requested during upload (e.g., bulk density, texture, organic carbon content), this Soil Structure Library can be harnessed towards data mining and development of soil-structure-based pedotransfer functions. In this paper, we describe the architecture of the Soil Structure Library and the provided metrics. This is complemented by an example of how the database can be used to address new research questions.

The aims of this paper was to evaluate the efficiency of phosphates product and by-products from the Djebel Onk mine for the control of acidic mine drainage generated by exposure of Sidi Kamber mine tailings to climatic conditions. Kinetic tests in humidity cells were carried out according to the modified ASTM standard, was used to invistigate the geochemical behaviour of the Sidi Kamber tailings mixed with phosphate materials (phosphatic limestone wastes, raw low grade phosphate ore and phosphate mine tailings) after being characterized. All amendment compositions led to an increase of the pH of the leachate from approximately 3 to circum-neutral values. Humidity cells experiments indicated that the materials were adequate to immobilize Pb, Zn, Cu and Fe by about 99% and prevent their release through the tailings. The tests have also shown that the metals concentrations within the leachate are lower than the limits allowed by Algerian legislation for industrial liquid effluents. Among the tested material amendments, PLW was more effective than other products in immobilizing metals. The results are most probably related to their Ca-carbonate content and/or adsorption capacity.

Authors: Bocchi Andrea , Del Mauro Miria Martina 
Published: July 2022

Dopo che si è dimostrato efficace nell’insegnamento dell’italiano come L1, negli ultimi anni il concetto di valenza si è affermato progressivamente anche nella didattica dell’italiano come lingua non materna. Il presente elaborato si pone in continuità con quegli studi che hanno evidenziato i vantaggi glottodidattici del modello per l’insegnamento dell’italiano agli stranieri. Il seguente articolo è diviso in due sezioni. Nella prima si riportano tre analisi della felice applicazione del modello valenziale in contesti L2, sia come strumento per l’insegnamento della grammatica, sia come concetto operativo per la risoluzione di problemi linguistici anche da parte di buoni conoscitori della lingua. Nella seconda si presenta studio di caso originale, che analizza il modo in cui il concetto di valenza del verbo viene impiegato nel corso di Estudios lingüísticos en lengua italiana 3 erogato dall’Universitat de València. In particolare, gli argomenti affrontati dal corso sono i ruoli semantici, i verbi transitivi, intransitivi, inaccusativi e la loro azionalità, la costruzione di frasi passive e impersonali e quella della frase complessa; questi sono esposti secondo l’ordine di presentazione del corso, ciascuno in un paragrafo dedicato. In conclusione vengono riassunte le conoscenze grammaticali e le abilità specifiche che l’uso della valenza verbale ha incrementato negli apprendenti.

The concept of valence in the teaching of Italian FL. A case study
After proving effective in teaching Italian as L1, in recent years the concept of valence has also progressively been established in teaching Italian as a foreign language. This paper is in continuity with those studies that have highlighted the linguistic advantages of the valential model to teach Italian to foreigners. The article is divided into two sections. The first one reviews three analyses of the successful application of the valential model in L2 contexts, both as a tool to teach grammar and as an operational concept to solve linguistic problems also for fluent foreign Italian speakers. The second part presents an original case study, which analyzes the way the concept of verbal valence is used in the course of Estudios lingüísticos en lengua italiana 3 held by Universitat de València. In particular, the topics covered by the course are semantic roles, transitive, intransitive, unaccusative verbs and their actionality, the construction of passive and impersonal sentences and of the complex phrase; these are explained in the order of presentation of the course, each in a dedicated paragraph. As a conclusion, the paper summarizes the grammatical notions and specific skills increased in learners by the use of verbal valence.

On a Monday morning in May, dark clouds loom over Geneva, otherwise a host for lovely summer weather at this time of the year. The heavily-guarded entrance to Palais des Nations, home of the United Nations Office at Geneva, is bustling with smartly dressed men and women. A bunch of young students wait excitedly and in anticipation to finally enter this 20th century building, an imposing architecture and a testimony to years of multilateral diplomacy. As one of the most active centers for international diplomacy and home to multiple international organizations, including the World Health Organization, there could not be a better place for these bunch of paladins to learn and practice health diplomacy and advocacy. We were about to witness the 71st World Health Assembly at the World Health Organization, Geneva and represent voices of more than a million medical students worldwide. The next six days would be a potpourri of emotions, from being overwhelmed at entering the majestic assembly hall to being confused in between all the meetings and events.

Published: July 2022

Healthcare systems improvement using simulation and debriefing is an increasingly employed, yet underutilized quality improvement tool to enable user-centred design. This approach allows users to experience real-life systems and processes through simulation and then provide feedback on how a system supports them within their role. Understanding this interaction of people and their systems is critical to safe, quality, reliable and efficient care and bridges the gap between how we think a system is working and how it is working.
This novel project was collaboratively developed and led by simulation, human factors and patient safety experts and used existing organizational safety data to target further high-risk safety threats surrounding administering, cross-checking and labelling blood products for transfusion. A system-focused simulation-based approach was used to identify system issues for a large healthcare organization’s transfusion policy redesign. A Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) was then used to apply a risk score to the findings from the simulation user feedback to inform a large high-risk policy redesign.
Multiple recommendations were provided to the participating units and policy and procedure redesign teams surrounding environmental issues, standards, interpretation and usability of the policy.
Our collaborative patient safety, simulation and human factors project was successful in proactively identifying both active and latent factors contributing to adverse events and identifying recommendations using FMEA methodology to improve patient safety, including revisions to the physical space within the lab, and the provincial blood transfusion policy and procedure.

This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of online worship for the spiritual growth of the Bethel Church of Indonesia Parakletos Cengkareng, using a descriptive qualitative method approach and data collection through the Bible and various books and journals and interviews. Online worship at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic was considered ineffective by several individuals, including pastors and congregations, in supporting the spiritual growth of God's community because the distance was considered contrary to the nature of God's assembly as a church, which was called to fellowship in the temple of God in unity. As a result, online worship allows almost all congregations to be involved in every worship activity organized by the church, namely: Raya Worship, Cell Community Worship, Youth and Youth Worship, evening prayer service, worship, Women's worship, Men's worship, fasting worship, and Discipleship worship so that their spiritual growth is increasingly visible through a lifestyle of loving one another

Published: July 2022

Kampas rem merupakan media atau komponen pada rem yang bekerja untuk memperlambat atau memberhentikan kendaraan. Umumnya kampas rem yang banyak dipasarkan terbuat dari bahan asbes, semi logam dan non-asbes. Kampas rem berbahan dasar asbes diketahui tidak ramah lingkungan yang bersifat karsinogenik. Oleh karena itu pembuatan kampas rem berbahan dasar non-asbes dengan bahan dasar serat sabut kelapa perlu dikembangkan.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membuat kampas rem berbahan dasar serat sabut kelapa, resin epoxy, dan arang kelapa. Pembuatan kampas rem dibuat sebanyak 2 variasi arah serat yaitu horizontal dan tidak beraturan serta variasi berat bahan dengan masing-masing terdiri dari 3 spesimen. Spesimen kampas rem yang telah dibuat diuji laju keausan spesifik menggunakan metode ogoshi.
Hasil pengujian keausan kampas rem berbahan dasar serat sabut kelapa variasi kampas rem horizontal rata-rata nilai keausannya senilai 3,37 kg dan variasi kampas rem tidak beraturan memperoleh nilai keausan senilai 3,83kg. Nilai keusan spesifik dari suatu kampas rem dipengaruhi oleh arah serat dan komposisi berat serat, berat arang, dan berat resin epoxy. Berdasarkan data pada kampas rem horizontal dan tidak beraturan maka semakin banyak serat dan arang kelapa maka akan mempengaruhi nilai hasil keausan.
