Authors: Mahoney Charlotte , Reid Fiona , Smith Anthony , Myers Jenny 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Pelvic organ prolapse, urinary, bowel and sexual dysfunction, collectively called pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) affects 1 in 3 women and has a significant public health impact. The causes of PFD are not fully understood but involve injury to connective tissue and motor nerve during childbirth. Women with PFD also have sensory nerve impairment, and it is likely this occurs during childbirth, but this has never been investigated. In the current study 150 women underwent quantitative sensory testing for vibration sensation at the vagina and clitoris, and stretch sensation at the vagina and introitus, in the third trimester, three and six months postnatal. Antenatally vibration sensation was reduced but stretch sensation was normal. Postnatally vibration sensation deteriorated whilst stretch sensation initially deteriorated but recovered by six months postnatal to antenatal levels (all p<0.001).Mode of birth had a significant impact on sensation, with caesarean section appearing neuroprotective, normal vaginal birth resulted in a transient deterioration in sensation that recovered by six months, whilst assisted vaginal delivery was prolonged suggesting persistent neurological impairment (all p<0.015). Further research is required to study the clinical effect of these changes on pelvic floor dysfunction in the medium and long-term.
Association Between Dose Reduction Of Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System Inhibitors Before Coronary Artery Angiography And Acute Kidney Injury: A Propensity Matched Study

Published: February 2022

Abstract
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI), which is commonly observed in hospitalized patients, increases mortality. Although renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASis) and coronary artery angiography (CAG) are reported to be risk factors for AKI, whether dose reduction of RAASis can prevent AKI after CAG remains unknown. The objective of this study was to investigate the association between dose reduction of RAASis and AKI.Methods: In this retrospective propensity score (PS)-matched cohort of patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 15-60 ml/min/1.73 m2 who were prescribed RAASis, we examined the impact of dose reduction of RAASis on the development of AKI after CAG with the RWD database, which includes 20 million patients from 190 hospitals in Japan. The exposure of interest was the presence of a dose reduction in RAASis within the 3 days before CAG was performed. The propensity score was derived from 19 baseline characteristics using a logistic regression model.Results: We identified 3,289 patients who were prescribed RAASis at least one month before admission and underwent CAG. Six hundred seventy-four patients had a dose reduction 3 days prior to undergoing CAG, and 2,640 patients did not. AKI was observed in 42 (4.7%) patients in the reduction group and 121 (5.1%) patients in the control group. There was no significant difference in the primary outcome between the two groups in the PS-matched cohort (OR: 1.00, 95% CI: 0.69-1.47).Conclusions: A reduction in the dose of RAASis did not prevent the development of AKI among patients undergoing CAG.
Continuous-Time Quantum Walk Based Centrality Testing On Weighted Graphs

Abstract
Centrality measure is an essential tool in network analysis and widely used in the domain of computer science, biology and sociology. Taking advantage of the speedup offered by quantum computation, various quantum centrality measures have been proposed. However, few work of quantum centrality involves weighted graphs, while the weight of edges should be considered in certain real-world networks. In this work, we extend the centrality measure based on continuous-time quantum walk to weighted graphs. We testify the feasibility and reliability of this quantum centrality using an ensemble of 41675 graphs with various topologies and comparing with the eigenvector centrality measure. The average Vigna’s correlation index of all the tested graphs with all edge weights in [1,10] is as high as 0.967, indicating the pretty good consistency of rankings by the continuous-time quantum walk centrality and the eigenvector centrality. The intuitive consistency of the top-ranked vertices given by this quantum centrality measure and classical centrality measures is also demonstrated on large-scale weighted graphs. Moreover, the range of the continuous-time quantum walk centrality values is much bigger than that of classical centralities, which exhibits better distinguishing ability to pick the important vertices from the ones with less importance. All these results show that the centrality measure based on continuous-time quantum walk still works well on weighted graphs.

Abstract
ObjectivesTo assess the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact, sustainability, learning and replicability of the transition from mass vitamin A supplementation to a routine six monthly contact point, integrated with complementary feeding and family planning counselling.Study designProgram performance was assessed taking into consideration the knowledge, attitudes and practices of both healthcare providers and caregivers to understand barriers and enablers to service uptake. A cross sectional qualitative survey with 63 key informant interviews with stakeholders and implementation staff and focus group discussions with 60 caregivers. Data was transcribed then coded through a framework analysis (developing themes from specific objectives) and thematic analysis (developing emerging themes not identified by the objectives). MethodsThe ‘routine six-monthly contact point’ included vitamin A, Albendazole, growth monitoring plus the promotion of optimal infant and young child feeding practices with complementary feeding demonstrations, the promotion of personal and food hygiene, access to confidential, family planning counselling and the provision of modern contraceptives for caregivers including hormonal implants. ResultsThe six-monthly contact point was found to be highly relevant, effective, efficient, with a positive impact on maternal and child health and sustainable. Lessons for replicability focus mainly on the extensive need for sensitisation of men/husbands and religious leaders regarding family planning. The challenges that prevent health seeking behaviour included distance to the facilities, poor roads, difficulty/cost of transportation and workload. The participatory complementary feeding demonstrations and community health workers encouraged attendance and appear to have contributed to the reduction of malnutrition but stockouts of essential commodities remain discouraging. ConclusionsThe program has been fully adopted by all levels of the health sector. The integration of family planning and its acceptance by caregivers is commendable and there has been an increase in the uptake of modern especially hormonal implants. This integrated approach was thought to have contributed to the reduction of childhood malnutrition. Recommendations include increasing awareness of affordable, accessible local foods for complementary feeding, more training for health workers on reporting and family planning counselling for the provision of long-term reversible contraceptives and further sensitisation of men and religious leaders on the importance of child spacing.

Abstract
Assessing research activity is important for planning future direction and adaptive approaches. We studied the trends and research activity conducted on seed improvement of underutilized crops, where research hotspots were determined based on keywords, productive research titles, and journal sources mapped from five decades (1971 to 2021). This was done using the combined data retrieved from Web of Science and Scopus databases, loaded in bibliometric R-package and VOSviewers software tools. Our results show the annual publication growth rate in the studies was 13.7%, with the increased number of studies and citations on seed improvement of underutilized crops (SUC) relating to seed genetic diversity, seed conservation, food security. Among the most cited studies or relevant researches were research findings carried out in the United Kingdom, India, USA and China. The strongest co-authorship linkages were found among researchers from India, the United Kingdom, Italy, Malaysia and the United States while Benin, Ghana and South Africa were among the most cited countries in Africa. The most cited journal source in the field was Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution which had a g-index of 14. Among the trending research focuses are; diverse genetic resources, nutritional values, seed enhancement, genetic analysis tools and farming system of the SUC. Research on SUC is rising with main themes on genetic resources, diversity, conservation and genetic tools-related studies. The SUC field still needs more international research collaboration and funding, with a focus on qualitative studies, adequate methodological procedures and advanced breeding resources that could help understand and promote seed improvement of underutilized crops.

Abstract
Cloud computing (CC) a new systematic model that allows users to store data on remote servers that are accessible via the internet. Due to this approach, the personal and essential data are being stored with easy to access and move. Because of this, it demands is increasing day by day. On this, one can store different data such as financial transactions, paperwork based files and multimedia content. Not only this, but CC also reduce the services dependency on local storage by reducing operational and maintenance costs. Existing systems such as encrypt all data with the same key size, regardless of the data's level of confidentiality due to which the processing cost and time become increased. Moreover, all such techniques classify the data with a low accuracy rate and don’t provide better confidentiality. In this research, a cloud computing approach based on automated data classification has been presented for data sensitivity. The proposed model is based on three level of sensitivity i.e. basic, confidential and highly confidential using Random Forest (RF), Naïve Bayes (NB), k-nearest neighbor (KNN) and support vector machine (SVM) classifiers for training the proposed model with automated feature extraction. The proposed model achieved 92% accuracy that has been showed in simulation results. From this, we conclude that RF, NB, KNN performs better than SVM. The proposed research also provides useful guidelines for cloud service providers (e.g., drop box and Google drive) and researchers.

Abstract
Lombok is one of the islands in the transitional zone from the Sunda Arc to the Banda Arc, Indonesia. In the mid-2018, the island of Lombok was shaken by a series of strong earthquakes, started with a magnitude 6.4 earthquake on July 29, 2018 followed by earthquakes on August 5 (M 7.0), August 9 (M 5.9), and August 19 (M 6.3 and 6.9). Some researchers suggested that this phenomenon occurred due to a segmentation rupture in the northern part of Lombok Island.
This study aims to obtain information on the distribution of the Lombok earthquake rupture zone 2018, through Shear Wave Splitting (SWS) study. Splitting, or S-wave separation, occurs when the S-wave passes through an anisotropic medium. The S wave is split into fast and slow S waves with almost orthogonal polarizations and has parameters such as delay time and polarization direction of the fast S wave. To determine the SWS parameters, we used a Lombok earthquake aftershock data set recorded from 4 August to 9 September 2018, using 16 seismographic stations. The steps taken to obtain the SWS parameters are event selection, windowing using short time Fourier transform, and rotation-correlation process. The results of the SWS analysis indicate that the fast polarization directions probably have a linkage with the local fault system and the fault related to the Lombok earthquake rupture zone.
Reduced Graphene Oxide on Activated Carbon/Manganese Dioxide Composite Materials for High-Performance Supercapacitor Electrodes
Authors: Fachrudin Adinandra Caesar , Sabarman Harsojo 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
This study presents the addition of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) on the surface of activated carbon-manganese dioxide (ACMnO2) composite material via high-temperature variations of 350 to 450 °C to increase the specific capacitance of the ACMnO2/rGO composite electrode. The composite material is synthesized by coating the slurry mixture on the aluminum sheet using a 2-step doctor blade method with polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) material and dimethylformamide (DMF) solution as a binder. Then symmetric supercapacitor is fabricated using filter paper as a separator and 3M potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution as an electrolyte. The composite material analysis is characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) as well as cyclic voltammetry (CV) for the electrochemical properties. The ACMnO2/rGO composite electrode at a temperature variation of 350 °C showed the highest specific capacitance of 459.79 F g−1 at a scan rate of 9 mV s−1 with an energy density of 63.859 Wh kg−1. The addition of rGO on the surface of the ACMnO2 composite material increased the specific capacitance by about 58% compared to without rGO, showing promises for high-performance supercapacitor electrodes.

Mainstreaming Climate Adaptation into Sectorial Policies in Seychelles
Authors: Etongo Daniel 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Mainstreaming climate adaptation objectives into existing policies and practices, as opposed to developing new or dedicated adaptation policies has several advantages for achieving sustainable change. Based on in-depth analysis of 31 strategic policy documents together with 34 stakeholder interviews, this article addresses the following questions across six sectors as follows: (i) to what extent has climate adaptation been mainstreamed into sectoral policies; (ii) what are the constraints impeding adaptation mainstreaming; (iii) what steps are needed to address inherent constraints/obstacles in order to facilitate adaptation mainstreaming across sectoral policies in Seychelles. While significant progress has been made in mainstreaming climate adaptation into the agriculture, water and energy sectors, little progress seems to have occurred in the Blue Economy, forestry, and health sectors. The lack of progress in these sectors can be attributed to the absence of national policies and or lack of add-ons on adaptation projects in these sectors. For example, mainstreaming climate adaptation into sector policies and strategies have occurred on an ad hoc basis through different projects. Stakeholder further indicated that there are still many obstacles such as the lack of human and financial resources that need to be addressed to enhance climate adaptation mainstreaming especially in the health, agriculture and BE sectors. Further, sectoral objectives were given greater priorities when compared to adaptation objectives especially for sectors whose mandate were not directly linked to climate change. In fact, the issue of coordination and corporation not just among government entities, but also between the government and private sectors was highlighted another barrier. Strategies for improvement include long-term climate impact studies, better public-private partnership, building on existing adaptation projects, ensure consistency in policy, and enhance access to resources – human, technical and financial. Lastly, adaptation mainstreaming is a process that should institutionalized across sector to promote sustainable growth.
