Protests of Parents of Persons with Disabilities in Poland: The Results of a Qualitative Study Among the Participants and Supporters
Authors: Greniuk Angelika , Sałkowska Marta , Zakrzewska-Manterys Elżbieta 
Published: August 2022

The paper tackles the phenomenon of a protest organized by parents, care providers, persons with disabilities, and supporters in the building of the Polish Parliament in 2018. It was held for 42 days and supported regular protests organized in front of the building as well as, occasionally, in several Polish cities. It was the second nationwide protest by the movement of parents of people with disabilities in the Polish Parliament, and the first one took place in 2014. The article also refers to those events. The paper aims at presenting and discussing the protest phenomenon in 2018 at two levels. At the micro-level, we reconstruct the protest’s meaning for its participants and supporters. Here, we present individual motivations, attitudes toward the protest, and the subjective perception of the whole action, as well as its place in the participants’ and supporters’ lives. At the second level (collective), we locate the protest among other activities carried out by formal and informal groups and organizations of people with disabilities, or acting on their behalf. We also identify gains and losses of the protest, especially from the subjective perspective of the participants.

La connaissance des relations « animal-pâturage naturel » est essentielle pour aboutir à des références techniques de gestion des écosystèmes pastoraux et à des modèles de prévision des productions animales. Dans ce but, la composition botanique du régime des ruminants a été décrite sur plusieurs types de parcours. Les suivis ont eu lieu, de 1980 à 1983, sur deux sites de la zone sylvo-pastorale du Ferlo (Sénégal). La strate herbacée a fait l’objet de descriptions qualitatives et quantitatives. Les ligneux ont été identifiés et leur densité a été estimée. Le régime des animaux a été étudié par la méthode de la « collecte du berger ». La productivité et la composition botanique des parcours ont beaucoup varié en fonction de l’année et du site. Généralement, les légumineuses et certaines autres herbacées sont plus appétées que les graminées. La composition du régime ne reflète pas celle du pâturage. La première est cependant influencée par la seconde. Les zébus consomment toujours plus de graminées que les moutons et les chèvres. Inversement, les chèvres consomment plus de ligneux que les autres espèces. Les ovins ont un régime intermédiaire entre les bovins et les caprins. Des équations de prévision de la composition botanique des régimes à partir de celles des pâturages sont données.
Oestrose des petits ruminants au Burkina Faso
Authors: Belem Adrien Marie Gaston , Rouillé D. 
Published: August 2022

L’ouverture systématique de 879 têtes de petits ruminants (541 ovins et 338 caprins), réalisée de novembre 1985 à octobre 1986 a permis d’étudier l’oestrose au Burkina Faso. Un trajet larvaire au sein de la tête a été proposé. Les taux d’infestation trouvés sont élevés : 90,9 p. 100 pour les petits ruminants en général, et en particulier, 92,4 p. 100 pour les ovins et 88,5 p. 100 pour les caprins. Les ovins présentent un taux d’infestation significativement plus élevé en L1 que les caprins (respectivement 79,5 p. 100 et 58,3 p. 100), alors que la situation s’inverse pour les L3 (caprins : 56,5 p. 100 et ovins : 38,3 p. 100). Les auteurs ont également trouvé un degré d’infestation par tête parasitée de 15,5 larves pour les petits ruminants en général et en particulier 17,4 larves pour les ovins et 12,2 pour les caprins. Pour les stades larvaires, on observe les mêmes rapports entre ovins et caprins que pour le taux d’infestation. Le facteur âge ne jouerait aucun rôle pour le taux d’infestation alors que le degré d’infestation est plus important chez les plus âgés (8 dents adultes) que chez les jeunes. L’analyse des variations saisonnières du taux d’infestation et du degré d’infestation a permis de dégager une période idéale (avril) de traitement des animaux contre l’oestrose.
Perte de veaux résultant de l’abattage de vaches aux abattoirs d’Enugu, Nigeria
Authors: Wosu L.O. 
Published: August 2022

Une étude sur les effectifs des vaches gestantes abattues a été effectuée aux abattoirs d’Enugu sur une période de six ans, afin d’attirer l’attention sur ce gaspillage, surtout dans les pays où la viande manque. Les résultats montrent que sur 57 891 (21,72 p. 100) femelles abattues, 5 654 (9,77 p, 100) étaient gestantes; 2 394 (42,34 p. 100), 2 167 (38,33 p. 100), 1 093 (19,33 p. 100) étaient pleines respectivement de 1 à 3 mois, 4 à 6 mois et 7 à 9 mois. Le nombre total de foetus âgés de plus de 3 mois était de 3 260 soit 57,65 p. 100. Les facteurs favorisant cette situation ont été analysés. Pour empêcher de telles pertes, il est suggéré de pratiquer, avant l’abattage, un examen des vaches par palpation rectale. Cette pratique devrait être généralisée dans les divers abattoirs du pays. Seules les vaches ayant dépassé l’âge maximal de fertilité, 9 ans, pourraient être abattues.

Published: August 2022

Highlight ResearchPoint Intercept Transect Method (PIT) and Underwater Photo Transect (UPT) to monitor coral cover was comparedPercentage of hard coral cover was analyzedThe average difference of the percentage of hard coral cover obtained from the PIT and UPT was analyzed AbstractCoral reef ecosystems are vulnerable to damage and extinction. Therefore, it is imperative that, as part of conservation, their conditions are monitored using straight forward or easy-to-use methods. The research was intended to compare the effectiveness of using Point Intercept Transect (PIT) and Underwater Photo Transect (UPT) methods in calculating percent hard coral covers. It was conducted at six sites in Karimunjawa Islands, Indonesia: Cemara Besar, Cemara Kecil, Taka Malang, Tanjung Gelam, Menjangan Besar, and Menjangan Kecil. At each site, photographs of coral reefs were taken in two ranges of depths, shallow (3–6 m) and deep (9–12 m), along the length of the predefined transects (100 m for PIT and 50 m for UPT). In UPT, the photos were taken using a 58 x 44 cm frame. Fifty photo frames were collected then processed using Coral Point Count with Excel extensions (CPCe) 4.1. The results showed that PIT and UPT produced different percentages of hard coral cover at each site, with the most significant difference found in deep waters of Menjangan Besar (45.27%) and the least one in deep waters of Menjangan Kecil (0.08%). Overall, the difference in percent covers was averagely 9.79 percentage points, which is still categorized into small. Both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. However, UPT is preferable because its results can be reanalyzed, especially the identified coral reef species.
Sustainable Recovery: Updating the SPE Business Model
Authors: Ben-Naceur Kamel 
Published: August 2022

As I mentioned in a previous column, the SPE Board of Directors and leadership are reviewing and updating the SPE Strategic Plan. This is a periodic exercise to define the strategic goals that will allow us to better meet member expectations and industry needs in the next 3 to 5 years. The current strategic plan was developed in 2017/2018 on the heels of three very difficult years for the industry, our members, academia, and SPE. Since that time, the industry has experienced even more hardship and changes like never before. The world we live in is not the same. The SPE Strategic Plan to be developed needs to take these issues into consideration and give SPE a solid foundation to best serve our members’ needs into the future using a financially sustainable model.
For more than 30 years, SPE’s main source of revenue has been events. Although SPE quickly ramped up virtual programming in 2020, it did not make up for in-person events such as the Offshore Technology Conference, Offshore Europe, and the International Petroleum Technology Conference.
This graph (developed from SPE financial data) illustrates that from FY2010 (April 2009 to March 2010) SPE had relied on events for at least 70% of its revenue. It also shows how revenue from events is used not only to pay for events but also publications (advertising has fallen dramatically) and for member programs and services. The graphic for Revenue Categories splits event revenues into corporate exhibit/sponsorship (the majority) and registration for comparison with dues and all other revenue sources.
Dues only amount to approximately 15% of SPE’s revenue, except during the pandemic in FY2021. FY2022 was closer to the typical pre-COVID percentage, and the forecasts for FY2023 and FY2024 are projected to be the same.
As a result, we need to review and diversify SPE revenue streams. This may mean new programs and services, markets, membership categories, etc. As our traditional sources of revenue evolve, they must be supplemented if we are to maintain or even add new services.
Over the period of July to August, we have set up a plan for the development of the updated strategic plan which involves interviews of different SPE stakeholders, including leaders of industry companies and a cross section of members, students and academia, regional and technical sections, as well as near-members (who participate in the Society’s events without being members). A channel is being established on SPE Connect for individual members to give their feedback on topics related to the strategic plan. We will post thoughtful discussion topics to gain insight from members. If you are not familiar with SPE Connect, please log on and join the discussion. We look forward to hearing our members’ perspective on the future of our Society.
As always, I welcome your feedback at president@spe.org.
New Life for Old Iron in the US Gulf
Authors: Wright Blake 
Published: August 2022

Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. We’ve all heard the mantra and likely recall it as our grade school introduction to the world of recycling. On a personal level, that meant collecting tin cans, flattening cardboard, or gathering plastic or glass receptacles. Many of these waste products return to industry and reemerge as something new and are kept out of a landfill, at least temporarily. When it comes to recycling in the oil and gas industry, many have looked at assets that have reached their end of life in one service and attempted to repurpose them for another.
Offshore rigs have been sold out of the industry to become everything from early warning radar stations for the US military (see the SBX-1) to potential offshore launch pads for Elon Musk’s SpaceX program and beyond. Many offshore platforms in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) either find their way to the scrap yard or into the rigs-to-reefs program, which reuses old, fixed platform jackets as fresh ecosystems for marine life.
However, something that is often talked about but rarely occurs is the reuse of an existing, but idled, production platform on a new field. This appears to be the fate of Independence Hub (IHub)—the floating centerpiece to an ambitious Anadarko Petroleum-led $2-billion deepwater GOM project that aligned several different players and various natural gas discoveries in the mid-2000s (OTC 31155). The last well at IHub ceased production in December 2015, after just 8-plus years of operation. The facility hosted produced volumes of more than 1.3 Tcf of gas, exceeding initial projections for the project by more than 30%. IHub was idled soon after and ultimately decommissioned in 2019.

A New Lease on Life
In May, offshore producer LLOG acquired IHub; it plans to modify the deep-draft, semisubmersible platform to develop a pair of discoveries in the Keathley Canyon area of the GOM. The reborn platform will be renamed Salamanca and will host oil and gas production from the Leon find in Keathley Canyon Blocks 642, 643, 686, and 687 and the Castile discovery (formerly Moccasin) in Block 736. As currently envisaged, two wells from Leon and one well from Castile will be tied back to the unit at its future installation site in Block 689 in 6,400 ft of water. Initial production from the joint development is expected in mid-2025.
“By modifying a previously built production unit compared with constructing a new facility, we are able to reduce significantly the time and cost to bring these discoveries online,” said Philip LeJeune (according to his LinkedIn), president and chief executive of LLOG. “This development will add a significant new source of needed domestic oil and natural gas production when it comes online.”
Forecasting Technique Bridges Gap Between Material Balance and Reservoir Simulation
Authors: Carpenter Chris 
Published: August 2022

This article, written by JPT Technology Editor Chris Carpenter, contains highlights of paper SPE 203941, “Bridging the Gap Between Material Balance and Reservoir Simulation for History Matching and Probabilistic Forecasting Using Machine Learning,” by Nigel H. Goodwin, Essence Analytics. The paper has not been peer reviewed.
Currently, building and maintaining a reservoir simulation model is the bottleneck for reservoir decision support. In this paper, the authors describe an approach for creating a digital twin that is informed by the data itself based on established physics modeling and uses a fully probabilistic Bayesian approach.

Statistical Time-Series Modeling and Physics Models
Differences Between Statistical Models and Physics Models. The statistical model includes an error term for each timestep. In practice, this means that the predicted fit to historic data is very good and the error terms are small, but forecasting can have a major funneling effect. Many methods exist for forecasting of statistical models, but the increasing uncertainty of prediction over time, and the large magnitude of uncertainty, is a common feature. The error term implies a future random walk behavior. When forecasting, multiple single-step integrations are being performed in which each step has its own error.
Where known values of exogenous variables exist in the future, prediction uncertainty can be greatly ameliorated. In contrast, the differential algebraic equations (DAE) for a physical model have no error term for each timestep. Each time the model is run with the same parameter values, the same results are obtained.
The error in reservoir simulation lies in measurement error and model error. Errors exist in individual historical measurements (or maybe systemic errors), and the model and its parameters are known to be wrong. For forecasting, a range of models and model parameter values are used—ideally, based around a robust Monte Carlo approach. An ensemble of forecasts can then be generated that represent uncertainty.
Time-Domain Electromagnetic Measurements Aid Evaluation of Multibarrier Corrosion
Authors: Carpenter Chris 
Published: August 2022

This article, written by JPT Technology Editor Chris Carpenter, contains highlights of paper SPE 202454,“Multisensor Time-Domain Electromagnetic Measurements for Quantitative Evaluation of Multibarrier Corrosion,” by Sushant Dutta, Pervaiz Iqbal, SPE, and Joseph Olaiya, Baker Hughes. The paper has not been peer reviewed.
A time-domain electromagnetic tool is presented that is capable of quantifying four barriers individually and inspecting a fifth barrier qualitatively. The new tool uses time-domain electromagnetic (TEM) or pulsed-eddy-current technology, which has become a recognized technique for individual quantitative tubular-corrosion evaluation in multiannular well systems (multiple concentric tubulars) in recent years. The novelty of the tool is its ability to exploit the information-rich wide-band-pulsed excitation using three sensors that enhance the sensitivity to multiple barriers.

Physics of Time-Domain Measurements
The TEM tool described in this paper belongs to the broad family of electromagnetic induction tools. Induction tools use a transmitter coil to generate a time-varying magnetic field that induces a time-varying electric field (and hence eddy currents) in the surrounding media. The secondary magnetic field generated by the eddy currents is proportional to the spatial electrical conductivity. A receiver coil measures the time derivative of the secondary magnetic field. Conventionally, induction tools often operate on a time-harmonic (continuous wave) excitation at one or more discrete frequencies.
Changes in the expression of pseudogenes including AKR1B10P1, RP11-465B22.3, WASH8P, and NPM1P25 as a model for predicting hepatocellular carcinoma patient survival

Published: August 2022

Abstract
Introduction:
The goal of this study was to look at changes in pseudogene genes level as oncogenes and tumor suppressors in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by large-scale analysis and to develop a survival prediction model based on their expression.
Methods
The cancer genome data were applied to evaluate the expression alternations of all pseudogene in HCC and their correlation with patients' prognosis. Also, a risk model was computed based on the expression of pseudogenes and their predictive power in patient mortality rates. The co-expression network and RT-qPCR method were utilized to discover pathways related and confirmed the outcomes, respectively.
Results
The results revealed that 12 pseudogenes were down-regulated in HCC, and their increased expression was associated with good prognosis. Also, 11 pseudogenes were overexpressed and associated with patients' poor prognoses. The multivariate Cox regression test indicated that overexpression of AKR1B10P1, RP11-465B22.3, WASH8P, and downregulation of NPM1P25 could predict the survival rate of patients independent of clinical parameters. The risk score model based on mentioned pseudogenes could considerably distinguish patients based on their fatality rate. Also, the co-expression network shown that the identified pseudogene genes can play a role in fatty acid metabolism, proliferation, and mTOR. RT-qPCR results also showed that the expression level of WASH8P was significantly increased in cancer specimens compared to normal.
Conclusion
Our results revealed that change expression of AKR1B10P1, RP11-465B22.3, WASH8P, and NPM1P25 was independently associated with prognosis and the patient mortality risk model based on these four pseudogenes can reasonably predict the survival rate of patients.
Pedagogical experience in implementing a Standardized Simulated Patient strategy for physical therapy reasoning
Authors: Forero-Nieto Sandra-Liliana , Vargas-Pinilla Olga-Cecilia , Rodriguez-Ibagué Luis-Fernando 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Background: There are various pedagogical tools that seek to develop the skills of health care students, among which simulated patients have been largely developed. This type of strategy helps nurture the processes of pedagogical innovation in universities and facilitates training the skills of physical therapy students. The objective of this article is to present the results of implementing the standardized simulated patient learning strategy based on the experience of students, actors and drama professors Methods: A qualitative analysis of the content of the information obtained during the implementation was performed. An activity was designed, which included preparing volunteer students to act, who were trained to represent previously structured clinical cases in a complex simulation scenario organized at the simulation laboratory of the School of Medicine and Health Science of Universidad del Rosario. Results: Forty-two students enrolled in the clinical reasoning course of the physical therapy undergraduate program participated in the project. They were organized into four groups for the clinical interview and examination by systems of the simulated patients, according to a clinical case. At the end of each simulation, students participated in the debriefing and were subsequently invited to a discussion group to assess the strategy with the actors and professors of the acting school. Conclusions: This strategy allowed students to experience meeting and interacting with patients, collect data and perform the examination by systems. They jointly practiced their communication skills, team work, metacognition and emotional management. The standardized simulated patient strategy is a pedagogical option highly valued by students. It helps them develop cognitive, psychomotor and attitudinal skills in a protected environment. It is important to offer adequate briefing to favor managing the emotions generated by the simulated environment and to end with a debriefing to analyze students’ performance within the scenario and identify positive aspects to be improved.
An imbalance of netrin-1 and DCC during nigral degeneration in experimental models and patients with Parkinson's disease

Abstract
Multiple guidance cues, such as netrin-1 (NTN-1)/deleted in colorectal carcinoma (DCC), control the guidance of axons and help establish functional neural circuits during development. However, the function of these guidance molecules in the adult brain, particularly during the neurodegenerative process, is unclear. NTN-1 and its receptor DCC play a critical role in the development and function of the midbrain dopamine circuitry. To access the alterations of NTN-1 and DCC during the onset and progression of PD, we first established two subacute and one chronic PD model and found that the imbalance of NTN-1 and DCC was a common feature of nigral DA neuron injury in the early stages of neurodegeneration. Moreover, we investigated the relationship between the NTN-1/DCC pathway and cell death in SH-SY5Y cells. MPP + inhibited NTN-1 expression and increased DCC expression in both a concentration and time-dependent manner, accompanied by reduced phosphorylation levels of FAK and Src. We further discovered a significant decrease in plasma NTN-1 levels and a positive correlation with UPDRS scores in PD patients. Our findings confirmed the imbalance of NTN-1/DCC signaling during nigral degeneration in experimental PD models and found for the first time a correlation of plasma NTN-1 with PD symptoms in patients.
