Published: April 2022

Abstract
We study the spectral decay parameter κ using S-wave recordings from the central Italy dense regional array. The data set used consists of 266 earthquakes, 353 stations, and 13,952 observations of κ with a mean value of 0.0412 ± 0.0177 within the distance range of 7.1–168.8 km. We model the variation of κ with hypocenter distance r as κ(r)=κ0+κs+κ˜(r), in which κ0 and κs represent the near-site and the near-source decay parameters, respectively, and κ˜(r) the average κ along the S-wave source-station paths. We first determine κ˜(r) with a nonparametric inversion approach and then we solved for κ0 and κs with a second inversion. We found that κ˜(r) increases with distance within the whole distance range analyzed (9.2–80.6 km). The near-source decay parameter takes values in the range 0.0&lt;κs≤0.026 with a mean value of 0.003 ± 0.006, which represents 7.52% of the mean value of the observed κ. The values of the near-site decay parameter vary in the range 0.0035≤κ0≤0.0823 with a mean value of 0.0298 ± 0.0133, that is, 72.28% of the mean value of the κ observed. We conclude that most of the high-frequency attenuation takes place near the site, because κ˜(r) contributes with only 20.2% of the spectral decay. We also investigate the spatial variability of κ by determining κ˜(r) within four quadrants that divide the studied region taking as a reference axis the Apennines chain orientation. We found higher values of κ˜(r) in the southern quadrants, where seismicity and faulting are more active, and less attenuation in the more stable northeast quadrant.
P-Wave Velocity Structure of the Lower Crust and Uppermost Mantle beneath the Sichuan–Yunnan (China) Region

Abstract
We conduct a tomographic inversion for the 3D P-wave velocity structure in the lower crust and uppermost mantle of the Sichuan–Yunnan region in the southeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau. A total of 43,450 reliable arrival times of P waves are picked from over 300,000 regional seismic records using an automatic algorithm based on deep learning. A two-stage iterative inversion process in which events are relocated, leading to a significant reduction in travel-time residuals, is adopted. A statistical resolution matrix analysis suggests that our model has an optimal spatial resolution length of ∼0.4° in the lower crust and ∼0.2° in the uppermost mantle. Our 3D model shows that both the lower crust and uppermost mantle in the region are characterized by strong lateral heterogeneities. The unusually low velocities in the lower crust may indicate the existence of lower crustal flow, whereas the high-velocity anomalies in the uppermost mantle in and around the Sichuan–Yunnan Rhombic block (SYRB) may be an important factor in preventing the ductile materials in the lower crust from moving eastward. Our model also indicates a coupling between the surface deformation and the material flow in the lower crust. Finally, the lower crustal flow may influence the materials in the shallow part of the uppermost mantle beneath the SYRB, and the crust–mantle transition zone beneath the Songpan–Ganzi block may be influenced by weak materials from both the uppermost mantle and the lower crust.

Objective: Determine the extent to which practicing veterinarians in Michigan, USA engaged in commonly recommended practices for the prevention of zoonotic diseases (ZDs).
Background: Follow-up to Lipton et al. (2008) Washington State study.
Methods: Online survey link was emailed February 2020 to 3,410 Michigan licensed veterinarians practicing clinical medicine with emails on file with Michigan Licensing and Regulatory Affairs.
Results: 402 veterinarians responded. A high proportion (161/214 [75%]) of respondents agreed it was very important for veterinarians to advise clients about the potential for ZD, yet only 34% (74/215) reported they had initiated discussions about ZDs with clients on a daily basis, although 64% (137/214) indicated they had client educational materials on ZDs available in their practices. Nearly 62% (47/76) of veterinarians who obtained their degree after 2010 were likely to eat / drink in animal handling areas as compared to only 33% (18/54) of those who graduated before 1989. Over 30% of respondents (64/210) indicated there were no written infection control guidelines for staff members in the practice, and 28% (60/214) reported having been infected with a ZD in practice.
Conclusion: Veterinarians appreciate their important role in ZD prevention and welcome increased communication between human and veterinary medicine plus assistance from public health agencies regarding ZD prevention. Communication / coordination / collaboration among human medicine / animal medicine / environmental health (i.e., One Health) is necessary to protect the public’s health from zoonoses.

THE PRACTICE OF ILLEGAL HEALTH EQUIPMENT DISTRIBUTION IN INDONESIA REVIEWED FROM BUSINESS ETHICS
Authors: Wilandari Angestika 
Published: April 2022

The emergence of illegally distributed medical devices is certainly not without reason. The expansion of access to health insurance has pushed the need for health services for the people in Indonesia. The high demand for health services will be directly proportional to the need for medical devices that are distributed safely and evenly. Geographical conditions and characteristics and demographic conditions in Indonesia are a real challenge for the distribution of medical devices evenly and according to procedures. The responsibility for distributing medical devices is one form of applying business ethics through applicable policies or regulations.
This study examines the practice of distributing medical devices illegally in Indonesia in terms of business ethics using descriptive analysis methods. With limited research time, the study of illegally distributing medical devices does not reflect healthy and ethical activities when viewed from business ethics outside of relaxation of existing regulations.

Published: April 2022

A literatura oral brasileira compreende vasta gama de forma e conteúdo comumente associada ao folclore. Há também narrativas que contam experiências particulares de seus narradores com o sobrenatural, mas que não se integram ao corpus de literatura oral brasileira em sua totalidade, mas às comunidades específicas de seus contadores. Serão analisadas, neste artigo, narrativas do interior do Maranhão, em que estruturação e conteúdo temático podem ser tratados sob um viés de estudos teórico-literários. Para fundamentar este artigo, utilizaremos estudos sobre tradição oral, organizados por Queiroz (2011), literatura oral brasileira, feitos por Cascudo (2012) e sobrenatural literário, por Lovecraft (1973).

A alimentação no primeiro ano de vida é essencial; esse período é caracterizado por rápido crescimento, desenvolvimento e formação de hábitos alimentares. Este estudo caracteriza-se por ser do tipo descritivo, exploratório, de corte transversal, e teve como objetivo avaliar o consumo alimentar de crianças no primeiro ano de vida que frequentavam as Unidades Básicas de Saúde. A coleta de dados foi realizada pela aplicação de questionário semiestruturado com variáveis sociodemográficas e antropométricas da mãe e do estado nutricional da criança. O software SPSS (versão 22.0) foi utilizado para as análises estatísticas. Para todos os testes adotou-se o nível de significância de 5%. A prevalência do aleitamento materno foi de 66,64% e 23,64% crianças apresentavam excesso de peso. O consumo de alimentos saudáveis foi considerado satisfatório, em especial quando se comparou o sexo feminino ao masculino, com exceção do consumo de verduras, que foi baixo em ambos os sexos (14,13% feminino e 13,04% masculino). Os achados evidenciaram uma introdução importante de alimentos classificados como não saudáveis. O padrão de consumo alimentar inadequado identificado pode comprometer a saúde da criança em curto e longo prazos. Faz-se necessário priorizar atividades de promoção e apoio à alimentação adequada para crianças na primeira infância.

Measurement of Cement In-Situ Mechanical Properties with Consideration of Poroelasticity

Published: April 2022

Summary
Accurate characterization of oilwell cement mechanical properties is key to establishing long-term wellbore integrity. The most widely used method is curing cement in an autoclave, demolding, cutting, and transferring it to a triaxial compression apparatus. The drawback of this traditional technique is that the mechanical properties are not measured under in-situ curing conditions. In this paper, we developed a high-pressure and high-temperature vessel to hydrate cement under downhole conditions and then directly measure cement Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio without cooling or depressurization. We validated the setup with water and obtained a reasonable bulk modulus of 2.37 GPa under elevated pressure. We proposed a poroelastic method to calculate cement elastic properties accounting for boundary stiffness and changing pore pressure. We compared the in-situ measurements with traditional triaxial compression tests conducted on the same specimen after retrieval from the vessel. The results show that in-situ measured Young’s modulus is more than double, and the Poisson’s ratio is 20 to 100% higher than that measured by the traditional triaxial method. One mechanism could be that the depressurization and repressurization process in those traditional tests may generate microdefects or induced stresses that weaken cement mechanical properties. Finally, we applied our mechanical properties measurements to cement wellbore integrity analysis by using a thermoporoelastic model. We found that the initial state of stress plays a significant role in maintaining wellbore integrity. With only mechanical properties differences considered, the estimation with traditional measured properties may mistakenly show cement is safe under some pressure and temperature perturbations.

Abstract
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in patients with community acquired pneumonia (CAP), and associated with poor prognosis. Cystatin C had been demonstrated to be a biomarker for the early detection AKI in in several other clinical settings. Therefore, in this study we evaluated whether AKI in patients with CAP could be well predicted by serum Cystatin C within 24 hours after admission.Methods: Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to investigate independent factors of AKI in patients with CAP. Prediction performance of all independent factors for AKI was measured using area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves (AUCs).Results: 2716 patients with CAP were eligible in this study, and 766 (28%) patients developed AKI. After multivariate logistic regression analysis, Cystatin C, albumin, uric acid, platelet count, white blood cell count, CURB-65 score, and acute respiratory failure were independent factors for AKI in patients with CAP. The maximum AUC was reported for serum Cystatin C within 24 hours after admission. Cystatin C had an AUC of 0.81 (95% CI: 0.79–0.83, P < 0.001) for predicting AKI, with an optimal cut-off value of 1.37 mg/L, computing 68% sensitivity, 80% specificity, 57% positive predictive value and 86% negative predictive value. In the stratification analyses, Cystatin C still had a good performance for predicting AKI in all the subgroups (AUCs: 0.69-0.84).Conclusions: The level of serum Cystatin C within 24 hours after admission appears to be a good biomarker for predicting of AKI in patients with CAP.

Abstract
Background: Aberrant reward behavior is known to associate with various forms of psychopathology. ‘Effort’, as one component of reward, is defined as the perception of the value of the prospective outcome as a function of its magnitude and the perceived costs of the physical or cognitive labor required to obtain it. This study sought to empirically validate the ‘effort’ construct via behavioral assessments and self-reports. Methods: Participants were 1536 children and 1270 of their parents. ‘Effort’ was assessed via the Effort Expenditure for Rewards Task (EEfRT). Child psychopathology was measured using the Child Behavior Checklist; adult psychopathology was measured using the Adult Self Report. Multitrait-multimethod matrices were used to demonstrate the divergent validity of ‘effort’ measures from other measures of reward behavior. We used linear regression models to assess familial transmission of ‘effort’, and zero-inflated negative binomial regression models to analyze the relationship between ‘effort’ and psychopathology and the moderating effects of sex. Results: For adults and their children, measures of ‘effort’ did not correlate with any other measures of reward constructs, suggesting divergent validity. Measures of ‘effort’ were positively correlated between siblings, while correlations between children and adults were not significant. In children, significant interactions were observed between sex and ‘effort’ valuation, in association with anxiety and thought problems, consistent with previous work. The moderating effects of sex had the greatest effect at low ‘effort’, with females having higher severity of psychopathology than males on average. Conclusions: This study identified the ‘effort’ component of reward behavior as a significant correlate of multiple psychopathologies, moderated by sex. These findings provide further evidence supporting ‘effort’ as a relevant construct for understanding psychopathology. The results consistently demonstrate aberrant ‘effort’ is associated with greater anxiety and thought problems. The presence of sibling-sibling correlations accompanied by the absence of parent-child correlations suggests a lack of continuity between child and parent measures and suggests that further evaluation and refinement of age-appropriate measures of effort is warranted.
