Abstract
Background: Post-traumatic stress disorder is marked by increased stress and anxiety following exposure to a traumatic or stressful event. Events of conflict and war-related traumas were commonly reported situations and people who have undergone through have a higher tendency to develop PTSD, so this study aims to assess prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder and its associated factors among war-affected residents in Woldia town, North East Ethiopia, 2022.
Method: A community-based cross-sectional study design was employed by using a multi-stage systematic random sampling technique from May-15 to June-15/2022. A total of 609 participants were enrolled. PTSD was measured by the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5). Data were entered by Epi data version 4.6.0.2 and analyzed using STATA version 14. Bivariable and Multivariable logistic regression analysis was done to identify associated factors to PTSD and P-values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
Results: The overall prevalence of PTSD was 56.28%. Destruction/looting of property (AOR=1.6,95%CI,1.11-2.47), murder/injury of family member (AOR=2.1,95% CI,1.37-3.22), witness of murder of family member/others (AOR=1.6,95% CI,1.01-2.71), unlawful imprisonment (AOR=1.7, 95%CI, 1.06-2.74), depression (AOR=2, 95%CI ,1.37-2.93), anxiety (AOR=3.3, 95%CI,2.26-4.97), experience trauma on themselves (AOR=2.0,95%CI,1.22-3.58), poor (AOR= 3.1,95%CI,1.60-6.04) and moderate (AOR= 3.0, 95%CI, 1.56-5.87) social support were statistically associated with PTSD at a p-value < 0.05.
Conclusion: The study reveals that the prevalence of PTSD was high in Woldia town following an armed conflict between Federal Government and Tigray forces. Destruction/looting of property, murder/injury of family, witness murder of family/others, unlawful imprisonment, depression, anxiety, experience on themselves, poor and moderate social support were statistically associated with PTSD. Hence, encourage organization working on Mental health, routine patient assessment with a history of trauma, facilitating means to support affected residents is recommended.

Abstract

Two feeding rates, 3% and 4% body weight per day (3%BW and 4%BW), and two feeding frequencies, twice and three times a day, were assessed during 84 days at the initial grow-out phase of tambaqui in earthen ponds. In a completely randomized 2x2 factorial experimental design in quadruplicates, 4,800 juvenile tambaqui (94.5 ± 6.4 g) were assigned to sixteen 300-m2 earthen ponds. No mortalities or difference in growth between treatments were observed during the trial. Total feed intake and feed conversion ratio were low in the fish fed at 3%BW. Fat deposition in the fish carcass and concentration of glycogen and lipid vacuoles in the hepatocytes were also low in fish fed at 3%BW. Plasma cholesterol and triglycerides were higher in the fish fed three times a day at 4%BW. Increased concentration of malonaldehyde was observed in the carcass of fish fed three times a day at 4%BW at the end of the storage period. Fish fed twice a day presented higher total feed intake per meal than fish fed three times a day, demonstrating that tambaqui was able to regulate the feed intake to benefit from a low feeding frequency. No difference was observed in pond phytoplankton and zooplankton concentration or sediment chemistry. Fish fed at 3%BW presented higher stomach content weight, demonstrating the contribution of the natural food as a complementary nutrition to tambaqui. Based on the results, tambaqui of 95 to 350 g reared in earthen ponds may be fed twice a day at 3%BW.

Abstract
Objective:This study aimed to explore the clinical and imaging results of lateral atlantoaxial joint remodeling, cage placement, and intraoperative traction in the treatment of basilar invagination.
Methods: The clinical data of 11 patients with basilar invagination treated by lateral atlantoaxial joint remodeling, cage placement, and intraoperative traction were analyzed retrospectively. The lateral atlantoaxial joint surface was remodeled to form an inclined surface between the joints, and a cage was then placed. The combined use of these techniques corrects the clivus canal angle and simultaneously moves the dentate process downward, thus reducing the compression on the ventral surface of the brainstem. The Chamberlain line invasion, atlas-dens interval, and clivus-canal angle were measured using a preoperative and postoperative CT scan. In addition, pB-C2 and cervicomedullary angle (CMA) were measured on sagittal magnetic resonance imaging pre- and postoperatively. The clinical outcomes of all patients were assessed using the Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) scale. Wilcoxon test was used to compare the pre- and postoperative measurements.
Results:Clinical symptoms of all patients significantly improved. The mean JOA score increased from 11.73 ± 2.45 preoperatively to 15.09 ± 1.22 postoperatively (z = –2.956, P = 0.003). No vertebral artery or dura mater injury was observed. The ventral compression of the brainstem was relieved after the operation. The mean pB-C2 decreased from 10.85 ± 2.96 postoperatively to 7.13 ± 1.38 preoperatively (z = –2.936, P = 0.003), and mean clivus-carnal angle and mean CMA increased from 137.25 ± 8.38 and 131.58 ± 9.17 preoperatively to 147.35 ± 7.55 (z = –2.934, P = 0.003) and 146.05 ± 6.36 (z = –2.934, P = 0.003) postoperatively, respectively. There were two cases of collapse of the C1 inferior articular process and one case of avulsion fracture of the C1 anterior arch. All patients achieved interarticular bone fusion.
Conclusion: The cases demonstrated a safe and effective method for treating basilar invagination when atlantoaxial joint reduction is difficult during surgery.

Abstract
The objective was to establish the breed-specific echocardiographic reference intervals for end-diastolic volume and end-systolic volume of the left ventricle obtained through biplane Simpson’s method of discs (SMOD) in the show jumping and Polo Argentine Saddle horse. The determination of central 90% reference limits was calculated, and its confidence intervals and reference intervals were reported with 90% confidentiality. A comparison was made between the cardiac SMOD-derived volumes and Teichholz-derived volumes. 39 horses were selected to create the reference intervals and the EDVI SMOD-derived was 1.32ml/kg, RI 1.26–1.37 and ESVI SMOD-derived was 0.47ml/kg, RI 0.43–0.50. There was a clinically relevant difference between EDVI SMOD-derived and EDVI Teichholz-derived volumes, p < 0.001, d = 1.14. The ESVI SMOD-derived volumes were clinically relevant and different from Teichholz-derived volumes, Z = -2.03, p < 0.05, r = 0.33. The EDVI in males was statistically equal to EDVI in females, p = 0.72, r = 0.39. The ESVI in males was statistically equal to ESVI in females, p = 0.12, r = 0.33. In conclusion, it is feasible, as in humans and dogs, to obtain SMOD-derived ventricular volumes in horses, and can be useful for clinical and research purposes.

Abstract

Plastics are a particulate novel material in Earth’s history. Due to its persistence and wide-range presence, it has a great potential of being a global age marker and correlation tool between sedimentary profiles. Hence, microplastics are currently considered among the array of proxies to delimit the Anthropocene Epoch (starting from year 1950 and above). Here we present a study of microplastics deposition history inferred from sediment profiles of three lakes in north-eastern Europe. The sediments were dated with independent proxies from nowadays back to the first half of the 18th century. Surprisingly, regardless of the sediment layer age, we found microplastic particles throughout the cores in all sites. The factor driving microplastic particles to penetrate deeper in sediment layers appears to be particles' dimensional (aspect) ratio: less elongated particles tend to be transported deeper while more elongated particles and fibres have a decreased ability to be mobile. We conclude that interpretation of microplastics distribution in sediment profiles is ambiguous and does not strictly indicate the beginning of the Anthropocene Epoch.
Witness to strain: Subdomain boundary length and the apparent subdomain boundary density in large strained olivine grains

Published: December 2022

Abstract
Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) investigation of strain mainly uses polycrystalline samples to study fabric development. We extend the use of EBSD for the analysis of large single mineral grains by measuring the apparent surficial subdomain boundary density per unit area, reported here as unit segment length (USL). We apply this USL technique to examine and quantify the plastic deformation recorded by naturally shocked olivine in the low to moderately shocked ureilite meteorite Northwest Africa 2221 and the highly shocked martian dunitic cumulate meteorite Northwest Africa 2737, by assessing the types of subdomain boundaries and the increase of subdomain misorientation with increasing shock metamorphism. We further compare USL results for the shocked olivine in the meteorites with those for the terrestrial deformation of Hawaiian olivine. USL of olivine increases with shock level, and USL from shocked olivine is significantly greater than that of terrestrially deformed olivine. USL is a promising tool for the quantification of plastic deformation in large single crystals from shock as well as terrestrial deformation. The results derived from USL measurements along with local EBSD maps are complementary with quantitative 2D X-ray diffraction analysis of crystal deformation and disruption, leading to a more comprehensive understanding of characteristic shock deformation recorded by large single crystals.
Groundwater market in water-abundant regions: determinants of farmers’ decision to buy irrigation water in Assam in North-East India

Abstract
In response to the development of groundwater-based irrigation technology, institutions such as groundwater markets have emerged in many parts of India. While the farmers’ decision to buy water is shaped by issues such as capital scarcity, size of operational holdings, number of fragmented plots, farmers’ access to institutional credit, etc., there are spatial variations of factors affecting farmers’ participation in the market due to its localised nature. In view of the fact that the number of studies on water markets from water-abundant regions of India is very limited, the present study was carried out to unearth the factors influencing the water-buying decisions of farmers in the groundwater market in Assam in the eastern part of India. Using field data from two districts of the state, viz. Nagaon and Morigaon and with the help of logit regression, this study examines the determinants of water-buying decisions of farmers in Assam. The results of the logit analysis show that own farm size, farmer's access to institutional credit, age, education, and better contact with extension agencies reduce the probability of water-buying decision for a buyer. For a tenant farmer, the probability of buying water is found to be higher.

Authors: Iteire Kingsley , Uwejigho Raphael , Okonofua Glory 
Published: December 2022

Background. Curcumin has a variety of properties, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory ones, and has demonstrated some protective prospects on neurological conditions.
Aim: This study explored the neuroprotective ability of curcumin in lipopolysaccharide-induced neuroinflammation in an animal model.
Methods. A total of thirty-two adult male mice were randomly assigned to four groups (A, B, C, and D, n=8): Group A (Control) received distilled water; Group B was administered lipopolysaccharide (LPS) only to induce neuroinflammation for seven days; Group C was treated with both LPS and curcumin simultaneously for fourteen days; Group D received only curcumin for fourteen days. After appropriate exposure to the mice, their cognitive abilities were assessed using the Y-maze and novel object recognition tests. At the termination of the administration period, the mice were sacrificed, and the hippocampi were dissected for histology and immunostaining using GFAP and Iba1. Statistical analysis for the data generated was done with GraphPad prism. Tests of significance were with one-way ANOVA and Tukey tests for post-hoc.
Results. Curcumin significantly (p < 0.05) increased object recognition, mean alternation, and markedly restored neuronal distortion caused by LPS toxicity in the CA3 region and the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus of Group C animals as compared to Group B. In addition, curcumin significantly down-regulated Iba1 expression and GFAP cell activities of both the CA3 region and the dentate gyrus.
Conclusions. Curcumin showed a promising role in attenuating LPS-induced neuroinflammation in the brain by inhibiting microglial activation and improving memory of neurotoxic mice.
Intelligent Physical Robots in Health Care: Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Huang Rong , Li Hongxiu , Suomi Reima , Li Chenglong , Peltoniemi Teijo 
Published: December 2022

Background
Intelligent physical robots based on artificial intelligence have been argued to bring about dramatic changes in health care services. Previous research has examined the use of intelligent physical robots in the health care context from different perspectives; however, an overview of the antecedents and consequences of intelligent physical robot use in health care is lacking in the literature.

Objective
In this paper, we aimed to provide an overview of the antecedents and consequences of intelligent physical robot use in health care and to propose potential agendas for future research through a systematic literature review.

Methods
We conducted a systematic literature review on intelligent physical robots in the health care field following the guidelines of PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses). Literature searches were conducted in 5 databases (PubMed, Scopus, PsycINFO, Embase, and CINAHL) in May 2021, focusing on studies using intelligent physical robots for health care purposes. Subsequently, the quality of the included studies was assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. We performed an exploratory content analysis and synthesized the findings extracted from the included articles.

Results
A total of 94 research articles were included in the review. Intelligent physical robots, including mechanoid, humanoid, android, and animalistic robots, have been used in hospitals, nursing homes, mental health care centers, laboratories, and patients’ homes by both end customers and health care professionals. The antecedents for intelligent physical robot use are categorized into individual-, organization-, and robot-related factors. Intelligent physical robot use in the health care context leads to both non–health-related consequences (emotional outcomes, attitude and evaluation outcomes, and behavioral outcomes) and consequences for (physical, mental, and social) health promotion for individual users. Accordingly, an integrative framework was proposed to obtain an overview of the antecedents and consequences of intelligent physical robot use in the health care context.

Conclusions
This study contributes to the literature by summarizing current knowledge in the field of intelligent physical robot use in health care, by identifying the antecedents and the consequences of intelligent physical robot use, and by proposing potential future research agendas in the specific area based on the research findings in the literature and the identified knowledge gaps.
Forensic Psychiatric Outpatients’ and Therapists’ Perspectives on a Wearable Biocueing App (Sense-IT) as an Addition to Aggression Regulation Therapy: Qualitative Focus Group and Interview Study

Published: December 2022

Background
Given the increased use of smart devices and the advantages of individual behavioral monitoring and assessment over time, wearable sensor–based mobile health apps are expected to become an important part of future (forensic) mental health care. For successful implementation in clinical practice, consideration of barriers and facilitators is of utmost importance.

Objective
The aim of this study was to provide insight into the perspectives of both psychiatric outpatients and therapists in a forensic setting on the use and implementation of the Sense-IT biocueing app in aggression regulation therapy.

Methods
A combination of qualitative methods was used. First, we assessed the perspectives of forensic outpatients on the use of the Sense-IT biocueing app using semistructured interviews. Next, 2 focus groups with forensic therapists were conducted to gain a more in-depth understanding of their perspectives on facilitators of and barriers to implementation.

Results
Forensic outpatients (n=21) and therapists (n=15) showed a primarily positive attitude toward the addition of the biocueing intervention to therapy, with increased interoceptive and emotional awareness as the most frequently mentioned advantage in both groups. In the semistructured interviews, patients mainly reported barriers related to technical or innovation problems (ie, connection and notification issues, perceived inaccuracy of the feedback, and limitations in the ability to personalize settings). In the focus groups with therapists, 92 facilitator and barrier codes were identified and categorized into technical or innovation level (n=13, 14%), individual therapist level (n=28, 30%), individual patient level (n=33, 36%), and environmental and organizational level (n=18, 20%). The predominant barriers were limitations in usability of the app, patients’ motivation, and both therapists’ and patients’ knowledge and skills. Integration into treatment, expertise within the therapists’ team, and provision of time and materials were identified as facilitators.

Conclusions
The chances of successful implementation and continued use of sensor-based mobile health interventions such as the Sense-IT biocueing app can be increased by considering the barriers and facilitators from patients’ and therapists’ perspectives. Technical or innovation-related barriers such as usability issues should be addressed first. At the therapist level, increasing integration into daily routines and enhancing affinity with the intervention are highly recommended for successful implementation. Future research is expected to be focused on further development and personalization of biocueing interventions considering what works for whom at what time in line with the trend toward personalizing treatment interventions in mental health care.

Published: December 2022

The data and results of field observations show that Punggur Kecil Village is identical to the economically weak community and depends on agriculture for its livelihood which is to cultivate plants using inorganic fertilizers. Inorganic fertilizers are widely used by farmers, this is because they are more efficient and effective than organic fertilizers. Whereas the continuous use of chemical fertilizers causes the land to be damaged and cannot provide the carrying capacity for human life. This happens because the community does not have the knowledge and skills in processing household waste into organic fertilizer which is more environmentally friendly. Therefore, the abundance of natural resources in Bilayuk Village from the agricultural aspect cannot be utilized optimally due to limited human resources. The results showed that the material for processing household waste into organic compost using the Takakura method could be understood by 68% of the target audience, overall the participants liked the use of Takakura compost in the cultivation of vegetable crops produced by the distribution of 14% of participants who preferred inorganic fertilizers, 27 % prefer Takakura’s organic compost, and 59% like both.
====
Data dan hasil observasi lapangan menunjukkan bahwa Desa Punggur Kecil identik dengan masyarakat ekonomi lemah dan menggantungkan hidupnya dari pertanian apa adanya, yang dalam melakukan budi daya tanamannya menggunakan pupuk anorganik. Pupuk anorganik banyak digunakan oleh petani karena lebih efektif dan efisien daripada pupuk organik. Padahal, penggunaan pupuk kimia yang terus-menerus dapat menyebabkan lahan menjadi rusak dan tidak dapat memberikan daya dukung bagi kehidupan manusia. Hal tersebut terjadi karena masyarakat tidak mempunyai pengetahuai dan keterampilan dalam mengolah limbah rumah tangga menjadi pupuk organik yang lebih ramah lingkungan. Oleh sebab itu, melimpahnya sumber daya alam di Desa Bilayuk dari aspek pertanian tidak dapat dimanfaatkan secara maksimal karena keterbatasan sumber daya manusia. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa materi pengolahan limbah rumah tangga menjadi kompos organik dengan metode Takakura dapat dipahami oleh 68% dari khalayak sasaran. Secara keseluruhan peserta menyukai penggunaan kompos Takakura dalam budi daya tanaman sayur-sayuran yang dihasilkan dengan pembagian 14% peserta yang lebih menyukai pupuk anorganik, 27% lebih menyukai kompos organik Takakura, dan 59% menyukai keduanya.
