Authors: Dlamini Khanyile , Grace Jeanne 
Published: October 2022

Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) continue to be a global public health challenge for both developed and low and middle-income countries, with inactivity, overweight and obesity contributing to mortality. The study aimed to determine the body mass index (BMI), objectively measured physical activity (PA) levels, and socio-economic status (SES) of Zimbabwean adolescents and to establish the associations between their BMI and their PA and SES, and between their PA and their SES. Participants (N=126) aged 12−19 years were included in the study. BMI was classified according to the WHO BMI z-scores. Participants’ PA levels were measured with a pedometer. SES was determined with the Family Affluence Scale III. The groups’ mean BMI was 20.45 kg/m2, with 18.9% of the females and 11.5% of the males being overweight. The groups’ mean average number of steps taken per day for seven days was 9 459, and their SES was classified as low. The association between the males, females and groups’ BMI with their PA levels was insignificant, negative and weak. There was a significant positive, weak association between BMI and SES for the males (r = 0.289; p < 0.05) and the group (r = 0.227; p < 0.05). The association between the females' PA and their SES was significant, negative and weak (r = -0.338; p < 0.05) with a significant, negative and moderate association between the males’ PA and their SES (r = -0.448; p < 0.05). The higher the participants' BMI, the higher their SES, and the higher their PA levels, the lower their SES.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
The Andromeda galaxy (M31) is an object of ongoing study with the Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) on AstroSat. UVIT far-UV (FUV) and near-UV (NUV) photometry is carried out here for a set of 239 clusters in the NE disk and bulge of M31 that overlap with the HST/PHAT survey. Padova stellar models were applied to derive ages, masses, metallicities, and extinctions for 170 clusters. The ages show a narrow peak at ∼4 Myr and a broad peak around 100 Myr. log(Z/Z
⊙) values are mostly between −0.3 and +0.3. The 7 clusters in the bulge have a low metallicity and high mass. Most clusters are in the spiral arms and have metallicities in the range noted above. The youngest clusters mostly have high metallicity and are concentrated along the brightest parts of the spiral arms. The UVIT FUV and NUV data are sensitive to young stars and detect a new metal-rich peak in star formation in the disk at age ∼4 Myr.

Published: October 2022

Introduction: Delusional jealousy has received limited attention in the psychiatric literature. Information on prevalence and demographical trends of delusional jealousy are essential in the design of effective control measures are sparse and fragmentary. Present study was aimed to describe case numbers and socio-demographic characteristics of patients with delusional jealousy reported to selected mental health services in Sri Lanka. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from May to August 2017, in three public hospitals and one private psychiatric clinic. Data were collected using a general information sheet and a structured interview schedule. Results: Fifty (65.78%) out of 76 reported cases during the period were new cases. The mean (SD) age of the patients was 44.15 (11.58) years. Selected sample consisted of 55 patients (male=39, 70.9 %). Thirty-seven (67.2%) were married and lived with their spouses. The majority were Buddhists (N=50, 90.9%) and Sinhalese (N=54, 98.2%). Fifty (90.9%) had children together with the partner. Twenty-three (41.68%) were not Ordinary Level qualified and 36 (66.7%) patients were employed. Conclusions: The majority of patients were married, middle aged males, from lower educational and economic backgrounds. Follow-up consultations were less. Most patients were functional despite the condition. The majority of the patients lived together with their partners and children in the same household which might precipitate a risk of violence towards the partners and subjective exposure of children towards violence.

Authors: Subramanian Shalini , Bapat Medha , Braganza Sherine , Thirumalesh MB 
Published: October 2022

Background and Aims:
Peribulbar anesthesia is suitable for vitreoretinal (VR) surgery. Dexmedetomidine has been used in peribulbar block (PBB) to improve akinesia and analgesia. We aimed to study the efficacy of adding dexmedetomidine to 0.75% Ropivacaine in PBB for VR surgery. The primary outcome was the requirement of block supplementation and secondary outcome was post-operative analgesic requirement.

Material and Methods:
100 adult patients undergoing VR surgery were included in this prospective randomized double-blinded controlled study. The composition of the drug used for PBB in the 3 groups was Group R (8 ml of 0.75% Ropivacaine +0.5 ml normal saline (NS)), Group D25 (8 ml of 0.75% Ropivacaine +25μg Dexmedetomidine) and Group D50 (8 ml of 0.75% Ropivacaine +50 μg Dexmedetomidine).

Results:
The groups were comparable in terms of patient demographics. The requirement for block supplementation was 16.7% in Group R (5/30), 12.5% in Group D25 (4/32) and 8.8% in group D50 (3/34) (P = 0.64).The mean time to first request for post-operative analgesia was432 ± 362 min in Group R, 572 ± 339 min in Group D25 and 614 ± 394 min for Group D50 (P = 0.26). There was significant difference in the heart rate (P = 0.047), mean arterial pressure (P = 0.012) at 30 min and sedation (RASS) score at 15, 30, 60 (P < 0.001) and 120 (P = 0.019) min between the D50 and group R. Patients undergoing buckling procedures had significantly shorter time to request for analgesia (P = 0.003).

Conclusion:
Addition of dexmedetomidine does not offer advantage over 0.75% Ropivacaine in PBB for vitrectomy. Its benefit in more painful procedures like scleral buckle needs further validation.
A cross sectional, observational study to evaluate the surgeons’ knowledge and perspective on preoperative fasting guidelines in a tertiary care teaching hospital in Southern India
Authors: Paul Pallapati Aparanjit , Joselyn Anita Shirley , Pande Priyanka Vandana , Gowri Mahasampath 
Published: October 2022

Background and Aims:
The preoperative fasting orders given by the Anesthesiologists as per ASA and Enhanced Recovery After Surgery protocol, are often modified by the surgeons, for practical convenience, which can end up with patients being starved for prolonged periods of time. Hence, this study was conducted among various specialty surgical colleagues, to evaluate the knowledge and their perspective regarding patients’ preoperative fasting guidelines.

Material and Methods:
A validated questionnaire was distributed to 68 surgeons belonging to various surgical specialties, which included consultants and postgraduate residents. The surgeons were grouped as surgeons operating only on children, only on adults, and on adults and children (mixed). Data were summarized using the mean (SD)/median for continuous variables and categorical data were expressed as frequency and percentage. The difference in knowledge score, among the surgeons of three groups, was analyzed using ANOVA, with Bonferroni as post hoc.

Results:
This study shows an overall decrease in knowledge (score of 6.13 ± 1.74) about preoperative fasting guidelines among surgeons. We found that the level of knowledge about preoperative fasting guidelines and complications was higher among surgeons who operate only on children (score of 7.05) as compared to surgeons operating only on adults (score 5.5) and adults and children (mixed) (score 6.1), which was statistically significant (P = 0.013). We found no difference in knowledge level based on designation and gender. All the surgeons uniformly had the perspective that patients have to be kept fasting preoperatively.

Conclusion:
Preoperative fasting orders for all surgical patients, especially for vulnerable patients such as children and geriatrics, should be administered by the anesthesiologist or surgeon who is familiar with fasting guidelines. We intend to raise the awareness of fasting guidelines of surgical colleagues by putting up placards and posters in the wards.

Published: October 2022

Objective:
To evaluate questions asked during the informed consent process by adult participants in a COVID-19 vaccine regulatory study conducted at our center in 2020.

Methods:
After approval by the IEC, informed consent documents and consent narratives were evaluated. We collated the total number and nature of questions. We then looked at the association between education, gender, socio-economic status, employment status, the language of consent, and number of questions. Between-group comparison (female vs male, unemployed vs employed, primary school vs secondary school vs graduate vs post-graduates, upper vs upper-middle vs middle vs lower middle vs lower) for the number of questions asked was done using univariate analysis followed by multivariate regression analysis with post hoc Tukey's test. Independent variables were gender, employment status, education and socioeconomic status and the dependent variable was the number of questions asked by the participant. All analyses were done at 5% significance. Content analysis was done in addition by creating categories after evaluation and coding them.

Results:
A total of N = 129 consents from the same number of participants were evaluated. A total of N = 127/129 participants asked at least one question. Sixty-seven percent of participants asked questions related to the study procedure, followed by 44.9% of participants who asked questions related to the safety of vaccine or placebo. A total of N = 295 questions were asked by the 127 participants. In content analysis, 149/295 (50.5%) questions were on study-related procedures followed by one quarter 76/295 (25.8%) based on safety associated with Investigational Product. Very few participants [2.4%] asked about post-trial access as the regulatory trial was a placebo-controlled trial. None of the independent variables were found to be associated with the number of questions.

Conclusion:
The majority of the questions asked by the participants were about study-related procedures and vaccine safety. No association was found between any of the independent variables and the number of questions asked. However, there were differences in the demographics of the trial participants between the pandemic and pre-pandemic era.

Currently, Indonesia is faced on problem of low quality human resoorces such as poverty and unemployement. As the majority religion of indonesian society, Islam has responsibility in improving of human resources. Waqf is Islam worship containing two dimentions, namely vertical (Hablun min Allah) and horizontal dimentions (Hablun min al-Nas). Waqf should be able to contribute to improve the human reorces in Indonesia because of It‟s asset reaching 34 Trillions/year. But, in the reality there are many people lifing in proverty. It shows that utilization of waqf is not optimal in Indonesia. There are some ways to realize them, namely utilization in education, health, hospital facilities, development of small and medium enterprises (UKM).

ANALISIS YURIDIS PENERAPAN HAK EX OFFICIO HAKIM DALAM MELINDUNGI HAK-HAK PEREMPUAN YANG BERHADAPAN DENGAN HUKUM PADA PERKARA CERAI TALAK DI PENGADILAN AGAMA SORONG
Authors: Latif Udin 
Published: October 2022

Abstrak
Pengajuan permohonan cerai talak di Pengadilan Agama Sorong banyak dalam petitum tuntutan yang diajukan oleh suami hanya untuk memutuskan perkawinannya tanpa disertai kewajibannya berupa pemberian nafkah terhadap istri dan anaknya. Hak ex officio adalah hak yang dimiliki hakim karena jabatannya untuk bertindak menyelesaikan suatu permasalahan tertentu yang tidak ada dalam tuntutan sebagai upaya untuk memberikan jaminan keadilan dan perlindungan terhadap masyarakat khususnya perempuan yang berhadapan dengan hukum. hal ini menarik bagi penulis untuk melakukan penelitian mengenai pandangan dan penerapan hakim Pengadilan Agama Sorong mengenai hak ex officio dalam melindungi hak-hak perempuan.
Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa hak ex officio dapat diberikan pada suatu perkara yang tidak disebutkan dalam petitum tuntutan, yaitu ketika seorang istri tidak mengetahui hak-hak yang didapat maka secara ex officio hakim dapat menghukum bagi suami untuk memberikan nafkah iddah dan mut’ah serta hadanah. Hak ex officio yang diterapkan hakim Pengadilan Agama tidak menyimpangi dari asas ultra petita karena didasarkan pada petitum subsidair yang berbunyi: ex aequo et bono atau mohon putusan berdasarkan keadilan dan kepatutan. sehingga dalam menentukan nafkah pasca cerai talak, hakim wajib mengadili semua bagian tuntutan.
A review of artificial intelligence applications in anterior segment ocular diseases
Authors: Heidari Zahra , Baharinia Mehdi , Ebrahimi-Besheli Kiana , Ahmadi Hanieh 
Published: October 2022

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) has great potential for interpreting and analyzing images and processing large amounts of data. There is a growing interest in investigating the applications of AI in anterior segment ocular diseases. This narrative review aims to assess the use of different AI-based algorithms for diagnosing and managing anterior segment entities.
Methods: We reviewed the applications of different AI-based algorithms in the diagnosis and management of anterior segment entities, including keratoconus, corneal dystrophy, corneal grafts, corneal transplantation, refractive surgery, pterygium, infectious keratitis, cataracts, and disorders of the corneal nerves, conjunctiva, tear film, anterior chamber angle, and iris. The English-language databases PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and Google Scholar were searched using the following keywords: artificial intelligence, deep learning, machine learning, neural network, anterior eye segment diseases, corneal disease, keratoconus, dry eye, refractive surgery, pterygium, infectious keratitis, anterior chamber, and cataract. Relevant articles were compared based on the use of AI models in the diagnosis and treatment of anterior segment diseases. Furthermore, we prepared a summary of the diagnostic performance of the AI-based methods for anterior segment ocular entities.
Results: Various AI methods based on deep and machine learning can analyze data obtained from corneal imaging modalities with acceptable diagnostic performance. Currently, complicated and time-consuming manual methods are available for diagnosing and treating eye diseases. However, AI methods could save time and prevent vision impairment in eyes with anterior segment diseases. Because many anterior segment diseases can cause irreversible complications and even vision loss, sufficient confidence in the results obtained from the designed model is crucial for decision-making by experts.
Conclusions: AI-based models could be used as surrogates for analyzing manual data with improveddiagnostic performance. These methods could be reliable tools for diagnosing and managing anterior segmentocular diseases in the near future in remote areas. It is expected that future studies can design algorithms thatuse less data in a multitasking manner for the detection and management of anterior segment diseases.

Aerosol deposition to the boreal forest in the vicinity of the Alberta Oil Sands
Authors: Jiang Timothy , Gordon Mark , Makar Paul A. , Staebler Ralf M. , Wheeler Michael 
Published: October 2022

Abstract. Measurements of size-resolved aerosol concentration and fluxes were made in a forest in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region (AOSR) of Alberta, Canada in August 2021 with the aim of investigating a) particle size distributions from different sources, b) size-resolved particle deposition velocities, and c) the rate of vertical mixing in the canopy. Particle size distributions were attributed to different sources determined by wind direction. Background air from undeveloped forested areas air showed a peak number concentration for diameters near 70 nm while air mixed with upgrader smokestack plumes had higher number concentrations with peak number between diameters of 70 and 80 nm. Aerosols from the direction of open-pit mine faces showed number concentration peaks near 150 nm and volume distribution peaks near 250 nm (with secondary peaks near 600 nm). Size-resolved deposition fluxes were calculated which show good agreement with previous measurements and a recent parameterization. There is a minimum deposition velocity of vd = 0.02 cm s-1 for particles of 80 nm diameter; however, there is a large amount of variation in the measurements and this value is not significantly different from zero in the 68 % confidence interval. Finally, gradient measurements of PM1 demonstrated nighttime decoupling of air within and above the forest canopy, with median lag times at night of up to 40 min, and lag times between 2 and 5 min during the day. PM1 fluxes determined using flux/gradient methods (with different diffusion parameterizations) underestimate the flux magnitude relative to eddy covariance flux measurements when averaged over the nearly 1-month measurement period. However, there is significant uncertainty in the averages determined using the flux/gradient method.

Who Was Cecily Chaumpaigne?
Authors: Prescott Andrew 
Published: October 2022

ABSTRACT
This article reviews the surviving evidence for the life of Cecily Chaumpaigne in light of the new discoveries relating to the litigation against her and Chaucer. Her father, William, had been a well-to-do merchant who was not simply a street baker but a dealer in corn. Her mother, Agnes, was aspirational and ambitious, and married after William’s death the wealthy saddler William Pickerel, who had been Edward III’s saddler. Cecily’s eldest brother, Robert, was a valet in the royal household at the same time as Chaucer was an esquire there. He also sought unsuccessfully to take over the saddlery business of his stepfather and mother, but quickly ran into financial difficulties. Much of our understanding of Chaumpaigne is defined by the surviving information about her family, but some facts are clear. She came from a well-to-do, perhaps even prosperous background. At the time of Staundon’s threatened prosecution, she was a mature woman in her early thirties and apparently still single.
