Published: January 2022

Abstract
Since the 1970s, climate change has led to decreasing water resources in the Sahel. To cope with climate change, reliable modelling of future hydroclimatic evolutions is required. This study uses multiclimate and hydrological modelling approaches to access past and future (1951–2100) hydroclimatic trends on nine headwater catchments of the Niger River Basin. Eight global climate models (GCMs) dynamically downscaled under the CORDEX CMIP5 project were used. The GCM data were bias-corrected with quantile–quantile mapping. Three rainfall–runoff models (IHACRES-CMD, IHACRES-CWI and Sacramento) were calibrated and validated with observed data and used to simulate runoff. The projected future runoff trend from 2061 to 2090 was compared across the three hydrological models to assess uncertainties from hydrological models. Results show that the bias correction positively enhanced the quality of eight GCMs across the nine catchments. An average Nash–Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) across the nine catchments was improved from 0.53 to 0.68 and the Kling–Gupta Efficiency (KGE) was enhanced from 0.65 to 0.83. The three hydrological models were calibrated and validated appropriately on the nine catchments. Despite this, high hydrological modelling uncertainties were witnessed with contrasting projected future runoff patterns by the three models. We recommended the use of ensembles of both climate and hydrological models to provide reliable hydroclimatic modelling.

Published: January 2022

Abstract
Several satellite-based and reanalysis products with a high spatial and temporal resolution have become available in recent decades, making it worthwhile to study the performance of multiple precipitation forcing data on hydrological modeling. This study aims to examine the veracity of five precipitation products employing a semi-distributed hydrological model, i.e., the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) to simulate streamflow over the Chenab River Basin (CRB). The performance indices such as coefficient of determination (R2), Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) and percentage bias (PBIAS) were used to compare observed and simulated streamflow at daily and monthly scales during calibration (2015–2018) and validation (2019–2020). The hydrologic performance of European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Reanalysis (ERA) 5-Land (ERA5) was very good at daily (calibration R2=0.83, NSE=0.81, PBIAS=−6%; validation R2=0.75, NSE=0.74, PBIAS=−9.6%) and monthly ( calibration R2=0.94, NSE=0.94, PBIAS=−3.3%; validation R2=0.91, NSE=0.89, PBIAS=−3.2%) scales. This study suggests that the ERA5 precipitation product was the most reliable of the five precipitation products, while the CHIRPS performance was the worst. These findings contribute to highlighting the performance of five precipitation products and reference in the selection of precipitation data as input data to the SWAT model in similar regions.

Este articulo proviene de la investigación “Análisis de la eficiencia de la electrocoagulación con electrodos de aluminio para la reducción de turbidez y demanda química de oxígeno (DQO) en las aguas residuales de pelambre en el municipio de Villapinzón, Cundinamarca”, la cual se desarrolló en la Universidad Libre, seccional Bogotá, en 2019. Los residuos líquidos provenientes de las curtiembres tienen como problemática común las aguas obtenidas del proceso de pelambre, ya que poseen altas concentraciones de sustancias contaminantes que son vertidas y afectan a cuerpos de agua. Por ello, este estudio tiene como objetivo evaluar un sistema de electrocoagulación a escala de laboratorio para remover turbiedad y DQO, por medio de ensayos realizados en modo discontinuo por períodos de 45 minutos. Con variaciones en la cantidad de electrodos (2, 4 y 6; planos y perforados) y con una intensidad de corriente aplicada de 12 A y 10 V, la máxima remoción de turbiedad y DQO alcanzó valores de 99,77 y 74,18 %, respectivamente, cuando se usaron 4 electrodos planos. Para turbiedad, el uso de electrodos perforados permitió alcanzar valores de remoción del 98 % (con 2 electrodos). Esta técnica también permite eliminar sulfuros, empleando 4 y 6 electrodos, alcanzando una remoción de 45,86 y 48,21 %, respectivamente. En el estudio se pudo determinar que la cantidad adecuada de electrodos para el proceso es 4. El aumento del número de electrodos reduce la densidad de corriente, aumenta el área de contacto y favorece la disolución de aluminio en exceso.

En tanto que la emergencia sanitaria ocasionada por la pandemia de COVID-19 determinó el cierre de un importante número de las empresas manufactureras, la industria 4.0 representa una oportunidad para enfrentar la crisis por parte de las pymes bogotanas del sector manufacturero. La finalidad del presente documento es presentar un diagnóstico relacionado con la implementación de la cuarta revolución industrial en las pequeñas y medianas empresas manufactureras, contribuyendo de esta manera a establecer una hoja de ruta que permita poner en marcha estas tecnologías en las empresas colombianas. La metodología se dividió en tres fases. En la primera se identificaron características de la problemática. La segunda fase consistió en recolectar información por medio de una encuesta a 100 pymes del sector manufacturero. En la tercera fase se documentaron los resultados obtenidos. Dentro de las conclusiones del estudio, se destaca que el 85 % de las empresas no realiza capacitaciones en herramientas de la industria 4.0 y solo 18,6 % de ellas tiene un plan de inversión en esta dimensión; apenas un 3,9 % utiliza software especializado para el tratamiento de sus datos y el 36,3 % de las empresas no usa ningún método de ciberseguridad.
eHealth Literacy in a Sample of South Asian Adults in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada: Subanalysis of a 2014 Community-Based Survey
Authors: Makowsky Mark J , Davachi Shahnaz , Jones Charlotte A 
Published: January 2022

Background
Digital health interventions are efficient and flexible methods for enhancing the prevention and management of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. However, little is known about the characteristics associated with eHealth literacy in the Canadian South Asian population.

Objective
The aim of this study is to describe perceived eHealth literacy and explore the extent to which it is associated with sociodemographic, health status, and technology use variables in a subset of South Asian Canadians.

Methods
We analyzed data from the e-Patient Project survey, a mixed-mode cross-sectional survey that occurred in 2014. The eHealth Literacy Scale (eHEALS) was used to measure eHealth literacy in a convenience sample of 511 English- or Punjabi-speaking South Asian adults recruited from a community pharmacy, a family physician office, and community events in Edmonton, Alberta. Multivariable quantile regression was used to explore variables associated with eHealth literacy.

Results
The analysis was restricted to 301 internet users (mean age 39.9, SD 14.8 years; 166/301, 55.1% female) who provided responses to all 8 eHEALS questions and complete demographic information. The mean overall eHEALS score was 29.3 (SD 6.8) out of 40, and 71.4% (215/301) agreed to at least 5 out of the 8 eHEALS items. The eHEALS item with the lowest level of agreement was “I can tell high-quality health resources from low-quality health resources on the internet” (182/301, 60.5%). Although there were statistically significant differences in eHEALS scores according to age, educational achievement, language preference, and the presence of chronic medical conditions, multivariable regression analysis indicated that language preference was the only variable independently associated with eHealth literacy (coefficient –6.0, 95% CI –9.61 to –2.39).

Conclusions
In our sample of South Asian Canadian internet users, preference for written health information in languages other than English was associated with lower eHealth literacy. Opportunities exist to improve eHealth literacy using culturally and linguistically tailored interventions.
Promoting Physical Activity and Weight Loss With mHealth Interventions Among Workers: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
Authors: Jung Jiyeon , Cho Inhae 
Published: January 2022

Background
Physical activity (PA) is a vital factor in promoting health in the workforce. Mobile health (mHealth) interventions have recently emerged in workplace health promotion as an effective strategy for inducing changes in health behaviors among workers; however, the effectiveness of mHealth interventions in promoting PA and weight loss for workers is unclear.

Objective
This study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of current evidence on the effectiveness of mHealth interventions in promoting PA and weight loss among workers.

Methods
We searched relevant databases, including PubMed, Embase, CINAHL Complete, and the Cochrane Library, for publications on mHealth interventions in the English or Korean language from inception to December 2020. Randomized controlled trials that evaluated the effectiveness of mHealth in improving PA and weight loss were retrieved. A meta-analysis with a random effects model and subgroup analyses was performed on PA types and mHealth intervention characteristics.

Results
A total of 8 studies were included in this analysis. More than half of the studies (5/8, 63%) were identified as having a high risk of bias. The mHealth intervention group showed a significant improvement in PA (standardized mean difference [SMD] 0.22, 95% CI 0.03-0.41; P<.001; I2=78%). No significant difference in weight loss was observed when comparing the intervention group with the control groups (SMD 0.02, 95% CI –0.07 to 0.10; P=.48; I2=0%). A subgroup analysis was also performed; walking activity (SMD 0.70, 95% CI 0.21-1.19; P<.001; I2=83.3%), a multicomponent program (SMD 0.19, 95% CI 0.05-0.33; P=.03; I2=57.4%), objective measurement (SMD 0.58, 95% CI 0.05-1.10; P<.001; I2=87.3%), and 2 or more delivery modes (SMD 0.44, 95% CI 0.01-0.87; P<.001; I2=85.1%) were significantly associated with an enhancement in PA.

Conclusions
This study suggests that mHealth interventions are effective for improving PA among workers. Future studies that assess long-term efficacy with a larger population are recommended.

Faculty that Look Like Me: An Examination of Historically Black Colleges and Universities Accounting Faculty Motivation and Job Satisfaction
Authors: Smith Kecia Williams , Davis Malissa , Malone Charles , Owens-Jackson Lisa 
Published: January 2022

ABSTRACT
Historically Black colleges and universities (“HBCU”) provide an academic environment that contributes to increased student success and social mobility. However, this environment introduces unique working conditions for faculty members. The existing academic literature does not provide evidence about the motivation and job satisfaction of HBCU accounting faculty. This study addresses that gap and provides survey evidence on this unique group's motivation and job satisfaction. We find that respondents are motivated by helping others but are not satisfied with institutional operations, research resources, and compensation. We also find that tenured faculty have lower job satisfaction than nontenured faculty. Demographically, we find that the respondents were older, were tenured, and have significant practitioner experience. Taken together, these findings identify opportunities for improvement in job satisfaction for HBCU accounting faculty.

Currently, there are no reference values for many laboratory indicators of homeostasis for gerontological patients, which complicates the objective interpretation of their disorders.Aim of study. Based on a comparison of the reference values of some laboratory indicators of homeostasis of volunteers over 65 and people of working age, we offer their conditional norm for people of gerontological age.Materials and methods. Studies of laboratory indicators of homeostasis were carried out in 25 volunteers aged 60 to 85 years. The comparison group consisted of 50 donors aged 18–59 years. Investigated indicators: lipid peroxidation and antioxidant blood system; factors of endogenous vascular regulation; apoptosis of peripheral blood lymphocytes; blood rheology; endotoxemia, immunology. Statistical analysis of the data was performed using the Statistica 10 software package (StatSoft, Inc., USA); when comparing the indicators, the nonparametric Mann–Whitney U test (abnormal distribution) was used.Results. In elderly and senile people, due to physiological aging, as well as the influence of endogenous and exogenous factors and concomitant diseases, there are significant differences in the reference values of some laboratory parameters from the parameters of the same name for people of working age.

Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) of the brain are quite rare vascular pathologies, but they are life-threatening, due to the risk of intracerebral hemorrhage. Stereotactic radiosurgical treatment of patients with cerebral AVM is performed in cases where surgical removal is impossible or embolization with a stable occlusive effect cannot be performed. Currently, for the diagnosis of AVM, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly used because of its noninvasiveness and minimal risks. When a malformation is located in a functionally significant area, then a non-invasive technique is used to assess its interposition and mapping - functional magnetic resonance imaging.We have presented the experience of radiosurgical treatment of a 43-year-old male patient with a ruptured AVM located in the left temporal lobe, near Wernicke’s area. The patient underwent stereotactic radiosurgical treatment with Elekta Leksell Gamma Knife Perfection device, taking into account the location of the AVM in a functionally significant area, preoperative mapping was performed. After two years, according to MR angiography, the arterial component in the projection of the irradiated AVM was not visualized, which was confirmed by the data of cerebral angiography. Thus, a clinical example has demonstrated the high efficiency of MRI in the diagnosis and assessment of the results of the performed stereotactic radiosurgical treatment of AVMs.

Surveillance and characteristics of food-borne outbreaks in the Netherlands, 2006 to 2019
Authors: Friesema Ingrid HM , Slegers-Fitz-James Ife A , Wit Ben , Franz Eelco 
Published: January 2022

Background
A wide variety of pathogens can cause disease in humans via consumption of contaminated food. Although food-borne outbreaks only account for a small part of the food-borne disease burden, outbreak surveillance can provide insights about the pathogens, food products implied as vehicle, points of contamination, and the settings in which transmission occurs.

Aim
To describe the characteristics of food-borne outbreaks registered between 2006 and 2019 in the Netherlands.

Methods
All reported outbreaks in which the first case occurred during 2006–19 were analysed. We examined the number of outbreaks, cases and setting by year, aetiology, type of evidence and food commodities.

Results
In total, 5,657 food-borne outbreaks with 27,711 cases were identified. The contaminated food product could be confirmed in 152 outbreaks (2.7%); in 514 outbreaks (9.1%), a pathogen was detected in cases and/or environmental swabs. Norovirus caused most outbreaks (205/666) and most related cases (4,436/9,532), followed by Salmonella spp. (188 outbreaks; 3,323 cases) and Campylobacter spp. (150 outbreaks; 601 cases). Bacillus cereus was most often found in outbreaks with a confirmed food vehicle (38/152). Additionally, a connection was seen between some pathogens and food commodities. Public eating places were most often mentioned as a setting where the food implicated in the outbreak was prepared.

Conclusion
Long-term analysis of food-borne outbreaks confirms a persistent occurrence. Control and elimination of food-borne illness is complicated since multiple pathogens can cause illness via a vast array of food products and, in the majority of the outbreaks, the pathogen remains unknown.

Introduction: Vaccines require continuous monitoring to increase their compliance, quality, and safety. We conducted this study to fulfill the research gap for the adverse events following immunization (AEFIs) after COVISHIED (ChAdOx1nCoV-19) vaccination among Nepali of eastern Nepal.
Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted from 25 Jan 2021 to Jul 2021 at Birat Medical College Teaching Hospital of Morang, Nepal. The data on COVISHIELD vaccine recipients at this center were analyzed for AEFI. Ethical clearance was obtained.
Result: Out of 167 vaccine recipients, the mean age was 28.08±7.35 y. The AEFI occurred in 122(73.1%) and 89(72.9%) who developed symptoms on the same day of vaccination. The AEFI symptoms were less common in males (OR 0.43; CI (0.19-0.96; P 0.03). In both sexes, the AEFI symptoms were reported on the same day of vaccination than the next day but it had no significant association.
Conclusion: The AEFI following COVISHIED vaccination was reported by 2/3rd recipients mostly on the same day of the vaccine and less common in males.
