Abstract
For the design of a deep foundation, piles are presumed to transfer the axial and lateral loads into the ground. However, the effects of the combined loads are generally ignored in engineering practice since there are uncertainties to the precise definition of soil–pile interactions. Hence, for technical discussions of the soil–pile interactions due to dynamic loads, a three-dimensional finite element model was developed to evaluate the soil pile performance based on the 1 g shaking table test. The static loads consisted of 50% of the allowable vertical pile capacity and 50% of the allowable lateral pile capacity. The dynamic loads were taken from the recorded data of the Kobe earthquake. The current numerical model takes into account the material non-linearity and the non-linearity of pile-to-surrounded soil contact surfaces. A lateral ground acceleration was adapted to simulate the seismic effects. This research emphasizes modeling the 1 g model by adapting MIDAS GTS NX software. This will, in turn, present the main findings from a single pile model under a combined static and dynamic load. Consequently, the main results were first validated and then used for further deep investigations. The numerical results predicted a slightly higher displacement in the horizontal and vertical directions than the 1 g shaking table. The shear stress–shear strain relationship was predicted. Positive frictional resistance for the closed-ended pile was captured during the first 5 s when low values of acceleration were applied and, consequently, the pile resistance decreased and became negative. Internal and external frictional resistance was captured for the open-ended pipe pile. Overall, frictional resistance values were decreased with time until they reached the last time step with a minimum value. As a result, the evaluation of the current study can be used as a guide for analysis and preliminary design in engineering practice.

Abstract
Nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithms have wide applications that have greater emphasis over the classical optimization techniques. The INFO algorithm is developed on the basis of the weighted mean of the vectors, which enhances the superior vector position that enables to get the global optimal solution. Moreover, it evaluates the fitness function within the updating stage, vectors combining, and local search stage. Accordingly, in the present article, a population-based algorithm named weighted mean of vectors (INFO) is hybridized with the Nelder–Mead algorithm (HINFO-NM) and adapted to optimize the standard benchmark function structural optimization of the vehicle suspension arm. This provides a superior convergence rate, prevention of trapping in the local search domain, and class balance between the exploration and exploitation phase. The pursued results suggest that the HINFO-NM algorithm is the robust optimizer that provides the best results compared to the rest of the algorithms. Moreover, the scalability of this algorithm can be realized by having the least standard deviation in the results. The HINFO-NM algorithm can be adopted in a wide range of optimization challenges by assuring superior results obtained in the present article.

Abstract
The cost-effective and environmental friendly biosynthesis of metal nanoparticles is becoming increasingly important in biomedical science. This study biosynthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) from pumpkin seed extract and assessed its anticancer activity by using different molecular biology experiments in human breast cancer (MDA-MB-231) cell lines. The well-known analytical techniques, such as UV-visible spectrophotometry, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), were used to confirm the synthesis and characterize the morphological and structural features of biogenic ZnO NPs. The formation of spherical nanoparticles with an average size of 50–60 nm was recorded using scanning electron microscopy and TEM. We observed the dose-dependent increase in cytotoxicity of ZnO NPs in the MDA-MB-231 cell line with a 50% inhibitory concentration of 10 µg/mL. Moreover, the ZnO NPs also showed significant cell morphology changes, apoptosis induction, and reactive oxygen species production at the highest tested concentration. The cellular adhesion and migration assay indicated cell death and inhibition in the migration of breast cancer cells in response to ZnO NPs’ treatment. These results clearly demonstrated the significant anticancer potential of ZnO NPs against the studied breast cancer cell line. However, an extension of this study is recommended in different cancer models and, based on the results, in vivo validation should be done.

Published: August 2022

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
Iron is needed for growth and development of infants globally, but preterm and low birth weight (LBW) infants are at risk for severe iron deficiencies. To assess the effect of enteral iron supplementation on mortality, morbidity, growth, and neurodevelopment outcomes in preterm or LBW infants fed human milk. Secondary objectives were to assess the effect on biomarkers and dose and timing.

METHODS
Data sources include PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library databases to March 16, 2021. Study Selection includes controlled or quasi experimental study designs. Two reviewers independently extracted data.

RESULTS
Eight trials (eleven reports; 1093 participants, 7 countries) were included. No trials reported mortality. At latest follow-up, there was little effect on infection (very low certainty evidence, 4 studies, 401 participants, relative risk [RR] 0.98, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 0.56 to 1.73, I2 = 0.00%) and necrotising enterocolitis (3 studies, 375 participants, RR 1.47, 95% CI 0.68 to 3.20, I2 = 0.00%). There was an increase in linear growth (length) (moderate certainty evidence, 3 studies, 384 participants, mean difference 0.69 cm, 95% CI 0.01 to 1.37, I2 = 0%) but little effect on weight, head circumference, or cognitive development. There was an improvement in anemia (moderate certainty evidence, 2 studies, 381 participants, RR 0.25, 95% CI 0.10 to 0.62, I2 = 0.00%) but no effect on serum ferritin. Limitations include heterogeneity in the included studies.

CONCLUSIONS
There are important benefits for human milk-fed preterm and LBW infants from enteral iron supplementation. However, more randomized control trials are required to improve the certainty of evidence.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVESEvidence on the effect of zinc supplementation on health outcomes in preterm or low birth weight (LBW) infants is unclear. We estimated the effect of enteral zinc versus no zinc supplementation in human milk fed preterm or LBW infants on mortality, growth, morbidities, and neurodevelopment.METHODSData sources include PubMed, Cochrane Central and Embase databases through March 24, 2021. Study selection was randomized or quazi-experimental trials. Two reviewers independently screened, extracted data, and assessed quality. We reported pooled relative risks (RR) for categorical outcomes, and mean differences (MD) for continuous outcomes.RESULTSFourteen trials with 9940 preterm or LBW infants were included. Moderate to low certainty evidence showed that enteral zinc supplementation had little or no effect on mortality (risk ratio 0.73, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.46 to 1.16), but increased weight (MD 378.57, 95% CI 275.26 to 481.88), length (MD 2.92, 95% CI 1.53 to 4.31), head growth (MD 0.56, 95% CI 0.23 to 0.90), and decreased diarrhea (RR 0.81; 95% CI 0.68 to 0.97). There was no effect on acute respiratory infections, bacterial sepsis, and psychomotor development scores. The effect of zinc supplementation on mental development scores is inconclusive. There was no evidence of serious adverse events. Eight trials had some concerns or high risk of bias, small-sized studies, and high heterogeneity between trials led to moderate to very low certainty of evidence.CONCLUSIONSZinc supplementation in preterm or LBW infants have benefits on growth and diarrhea prevention. Further research is needed to generate better quality evidence.

Published: August 2022

OBJECTIVES
To assess effects of supplementation with 3 or more micronutrients (multiple micronutrients; MMN) compared to no MMN in human milk-fed preterm and low birth weight (LBW) infants.

RESULTS
Data on a subgroup of 414 preterm or LBW infants from 2 randomized controlled trials (4 reports) were included. The certainty of evidence ranged from low to very low. For growth outcomes in the MMN compared to the non-MMN group, there was a small increase in weight-for-age (2 trials, 383 participants) and height-for-age z-scores (2 trials, 372 participants); a small decrease in wasting (2 trials, 398 participants); small increases in stunting (2 trials, 399 participants); and an increase in underweight (2 trials, 396 participants). For neurodevelopment outcomes at 78 weeks, we found small increases in Bayley Scales of Infant Development, Version III (BISD-III), scores (cognition, receptive language, expressive language, fine motor, gross motor) in the MMN compared to the non-MMN group (1 trial, 27 participants). There were no studies examining dose or timing of supplementation.

CONCLUSIONS
Evidence is insufficient to determine whether enteral MMN supplementation to preterm or LBW infants who are fed mother's own milk is associated with benefit or harm. More trials are needed to generate evidence on mortality, morbidity, growth, and neurodevelopment.
A Sisyphean task? Doing drama online with Year 9 students in a COVID-19 lockdown
Authors: Luton Jane Isobel , Hood Jacqueline 
Published: August 2022

Using the allegory of Sisyphus from ancient Greek mythology, we examine the problems that arose while teaching Year 9 drama classes online during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns in Aotearoa, New Zealand. At times we have felt like Sisyphus, forced to push a boulder uphill forever. We became adept at using the school’s chosen online platform, in this case, Microsoft Teams. For all teachers, this meant that students were no longer in an actual classroom with their peers but met in a virtual space as a series of little icons on a screen. For drama, this disrupted the very essence of the praxis. Drama is, at its heart, an embodied, interactive “subject”, requiring collaboration, cooperation and participation. Like Sisyphus, we have, at times, felt the task of teaching drama cannot be truly accomplished. In this article, we focus specifically on the Year 9 drama students, the youngest year group at secondary colleges in New Zealand. They are part of the generation defined as Gen Z (Beresford Research, 2022), “digital natives who have little or no memory of the world as it existed before smartphones” (Parker & Igielnik, 2020., para. 4). We compare the expectations and interactions of a traditional drama classroom with those online. We explore the approaches we took to encourage student participation in this new forum, trying to find dramatic strategies to mitigate some of the problems that arose. We discuss the consequences and outcomes of teaching drama remotely. Unlike Sisyphus, can we learn from successes and failures, or are we as drama teachers doomed forever to roll a large rock uphill?

Published: August 2022

Background: In patients with acute biliary pancreatitis, cholecystectomy is mandatory to prevent further biliary events, but the precise timing of cholecystectomy for mild to moderate disease remain a subject of ongoing debate. The aim of this study is to assess the outcomes of early versus delayed cholecystectomy. We hypothesize that early cholecystectomy as compared to delayed cholecystectomy reduces recurrent biliary events without a higher peri-operative complication rate.Methods: Patients with mild to moderate ABP were prospectively randomized to either an early cholecystectomy versus a delayed cholecystectomy group. Recurrent biliary events, peri-operative complications, conversion rate, length of surgery and total hospital length of stay between the two groups were evaluated.Results: A total of 70 patients were enrolled at tertiary care hospital in central India. Of them, 35were randomized to the early group and 35 patients to the delayed group using simple randomization technique. Conclusions: In mild to moderate ABP, early laparoscopic cholecystectomy reduces the risk of recurrent biliary events without an increase in operative difficulty or perioperative morbidity.

Published: August 2022

Background: Most of previous studies have investigated the association of specific food or nutrient with risk of breast cancer (BC) rather than overall diet and there is lack of evidence regarding dietary pattern in BC development. This study aims to examine the association between dietary patterns and risk of BC among Iranian women.
Methods: This case–control study was carried out on 453 BC women and 496 healthy controls. A reliable and valid FFQ was used to evaluate usual dietary intake. Factor analysis was also applied to address the most major dietary patterns which were known as the healthy and unhealthy dietary patterns.
Results: Those in the highest quartile of healthy dietary pattern had lower risk of BC (P = 0.001). However, being in the highest quartile of unhealthy pattern was associated with 2.04-fold increase of BC risk (P = 0.004) compared to the lowest quartile. In premenopausal women, risk of BC in upper quartile of healthy pattern was lower than the lowest quartile (OR = 0.47; CI = 0.26 – 0.83, P = 0.004). More adherence to the unhealthy dietary pattern was associated with higher risk of BC (OR = 2.85; 95% CI = 1.57- 5.17, P < 0.0001). No significant association was observed between the healthy or unhealthy dietary patterns among postmenopausal women.
Conclusion: The findings indicated that the healthy dietary pattern could be considered as a protective factor in terms of BC in women and particularly among premenopausal women.

Objetivo: Avaliar a prevalência de pressão arterial elevada entre caminhoneiros e sua associação a características laborais. Métodos: coleta de dados realizada por meio de instrumento semi estruturado, com questões sobre variáveis sociodemográficas, hábitos de vida, laborais, e clínicos. Não foram incluídos caminhoneiros com história clínica de hipertensão arterial. Resultados: 184 caminhoneiros com idade média (±DP) de 41,3 (±10,2) anos; a maioria percorria ao menos 3.000 km por semana (58,7%) e dirigia por mais de 10 horas diariamente (63,0 %). PA elevada foi verificada em 73 (39,6%) participantes. Mediante a análise da Odds ratio ajustado, verificou-se que entre os caminhoneiros que rodavam 3000km ou mais por semana (n=76, 41,3%) a chance de PA elevada era 2,3 vezes maior comparado ao grupo que rodava menos de 3000Km por semana (p<0,05). Conclusão: A maior distância percorrida pelos caminhoneiros aumentou cerca de duas vezes a chance desse profissional ter sua PA elevada.

WstępSchorzenia narządu ruchu często charakteryzują się bólem, a także ograniczoną sprawnością fizyczną. Dla złagodzenia dolegliwości bólowych, towarzyszących chorobom układu ruchu, stosuje się niesteroidowe leki przeciwzapalne (<i>non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs</i> – NSAIDs) i/lub paracetamol. Suplementy diety są jednak coraz częściej brane pod uwagę przez pacjentów z tego typu schorzeniami jako dodatkowe środki wspomagające leczenie. Celem pracy była analiza ilościowa i jakościowa suplementów diety oraz subiektywna ocena pacjentów dotycząca wpływu przyjmowanych suplementów na zmniejszenie dolegliwości układu ruchu.Materiał i metodyNarzędzie badawcze stanowił autorski kwestionariusz ankiety, przeprowadzony w grupie 171 pacjentów, w tym 110 (64%) kobiet oraz 61 (36%) mężczyzn, poradni rehabilitacyjnej w Katowicach.

Zdecydowana większość ankietowanych (65,4%) zauważyła poprawę po stosowaniu suplementu diety.WnioskiPrzeprowadzone badania wykazały, iż większość pacjentów stosujących suplementy diety wpływające na funkcjonowanie układu ruchu odczuwała poprawę, najczęściej po miesiącu ich przyjmowania. Do najczęściej wybieranych suplementów diety należały te, które w składzie zawierały kolagen oraz glukozaminę.
An examination of the links between marital satisfaction, decoding accuracy and conflict
Authors: Soucy Allison 
Published: August 2022

Marital satisfaction plays an important role in maintaining a healthy marriage. One of the major factors affecting satisfaction is communication, thus it is also important to understand the factors involved in communication like non-verbal decoding accuracy and conflict engagement that can affect spouses’ satisfaction with their marriage. The associations between marital satisfaction, non-verbal behaviour decoding accuracy and conflict engagement develop a greater understanding of how these constructs work together to affect satisfaction. This will be examined using a sample of 50 heterosexual couples from the north-eastern states using a longitudinal within-subjects design. We expect dissatisfied couples would be less accurate decoders, leading to increased levels of conflict engagement, and thus lower satisfaction, while satisfied couples would be more accurate decoders, leading to stable levels of conflict engagement, and thus stable or increased satisfaction. The findings from this study will provide important and valuable information, which can be used to improve therapeutic services, like couples counselling.

Keywords: Communication, conflict, marital satisfaction;

Published: August 2022

Background: Verruca (non genital warts) is a quite common public health problem caused by viral infection of low risk Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) types, risking patients of all backgrounds. There is still no ideal treatment for verruca with little knowledge regarding the effectiveness of the available therapies, which results in the lack of therapeutic standard for patients. Purpose: To evaluate the incidence, management, and effectiveness of verruca treatment. Methods: This was a descriptive, retrospective study with a cross-sectional design. All patients diagnosed with verruca in Tumor and Skin Surgery Division of the Dermatology and Venereology Outpatient Unit at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital Surabaya between January 2016 and December 2020 were included in the study. Result: The results of this study obtained a total of 113 verruca patients, consisting of 61 (53.98%) male patients and 52 (46.01%) female patients, mostly aged 20-60 years old (45 patients [39.82%]). The upper extremity was the most common location where the lesion was found (39 patients [34.5%]). Electrosurgery was the most performed method (38 patients [33.6%]). Thirty-one patients who were treated and returned to the clinic at least once during the month were evaluated for the resolution of the lesion after undergoing therapy. Among 31 patients, resolution was reported in 35.5% of cases. Conclusion: Verruca is a common condition in general practice with many treatment options available yet often neglected. Knowing the available evidence for efficacy of those treatments is critical for dermatologist when considering treatment and educate patients.

Published: August 2022

Background: AD is a chronic, pruritic inflammatory skin disease that frequently occurs and common in infants and children. Purpose: This study aims to analyze the correlation of age, sex, nutritional status, and family history of atopy with the occurrence of AD complications in children. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional study design in pediatric AD patients aged 0-18 years. Data were collected from electronic medical records (EMR) of pediatric AD patients at the Dermatology Outpatient Clinic of Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia, from January to December 2019. The bivariate analysis in this study used the Chi-square test. The statistical test was significant, as indicated by p-value (p < 0.05). Result: Out of 80 eligible participants, a total of 53.75% of the participants were children aged 1-60 months, and 55% of total were female. In this study, 28.75% of participants had normal nutritional status. A total of 67.5% of patients had no family history of atopy. There was a significant relationship between age and nutritional status with the incidence of AD with complications (p=0.006 and 0.040), but no relation was found between sex and family history of atopy (p=0.444 and 0.644). Conclusion: Age and nutritional status have a correlation with the incidence of AD with complications.
