Demographic Characteristics, Predisposing Factors, Clinical Presentations, Echocardiographic Findings, Complications, and Outcomes of Patients with Viridans Streptococcal Endocarditis
Authors: Moradnejad Pardis , Boudagh Shabnam 
Published: October 2022

Background:
Several microorganisms are associated with infective endocarditis (IE), but the most common IE causes are staphylococci and streptococci. Among streptococci, the viridans group streptococci are responsible for a considerable percentage of all IE cases.

Methods:
Since 2006, the Iranian Registry of Infective Endocarditis has recorded information regarding all adult patients with a definite or possible IE diagnosis according to the modified Duke criteria. Patients with viridans streptococcal endocarditis were detected through three blood culture sets. The patients' demographic characteristics, predisposing factors, clinical presentations, and echocardiographic findings were recorded.

Results:
Of 731 patients diagnosed with endocarditis, viridans streptococci were found in 46 (6.3%) patients, consisting of 28 (60.9%) men and 18 (39.1%) women at a mean age of 42.56 ± 15.46 years, who were subsequently included in the study. Among the 46 patients with viridans streptococcal endocarditis, 26 had a subacute course, whereas 20 had an acute course. Vegetation was detected in 35 patients. All the patients were treated with the standard antibiotic regimen for viridans streptococcal endocarditis, and cardiac surgery was performed on 16 patients.

Conclusions:
Clinicians should pay sufficient heed to the following points in all cases of viridans streptococcal endocarditis: firstly, an appropriate antibiotic regimen must be based on a precise minimal inhibitory concentration determination for the usual antibiotics. Secondly, since prolonged antibiotic therapy is crucial to the eradication of microorganisms within vegetation, all patients with viridans streptococcal endocarditis must receive an adequate therapy course.

ABSTRACT.
Reports of cases of noma in Nigeria remain scarce despite its known and devastating effects on victims. This report presents a retrospective cross-sectional study based on data regarding on patients with noma encountered incidentally during Oral Health Advocacy Initiative outreach on orofacial diseases across 34 states and the Federal Capital Territory in Nigeria over 10 years (2011–2020), which was aimed at contributing to an understanding of the epidemiology of noma in Nigeria. The data were collated and analyzed, and are presented in frequency distribution tables and charts. A total of 7,195 patients with noma were encountered. The northeastern region had the greatest number of patients (n = 1,785, 24.8%) whereas the southwestern region had the least (n = 196, 2.7%). When aggregated by state, Ondo State had the least number of patients (n = 31, 0.4%) whereas Kano State had the greatest (n = 623, 8.7%). Patient age ranged from 3 to 70 years, with a slight male preponderance (56.9%). This report highlights the fact that noma is prevalent in Nigeria but remains neglected, with extensive but preventable physical, emotional, and social debilitation and devastation of the victims across all age groups. There is a need for a more robust survey to determine the true burden of the disease. There is also an urgent need for collaboration between governments and nongovernmental organizations to institute appropriate interventions by way of public education and enlightenment, as well as case detection and early treatment to mitigate the devastating consequences of delayed or poorly managed cases.
Study of the Effect of Adding Dune Sand to Tuff in Saharan Road Construction

Published: October 2022

The south region of Algeria is characterized by a wide surface, a scattered population and a very small ratio of road length per habitant. To allow the development of agricultural, industrial and touristic activities between different cities in the south of Algeria, it is necessary to maintain and to develop the road infrastructure. However the development of these infrastructures necessitates the use of huge amount of certified aggregates from quarries which is not available in the vicinity of the need. For these raisons, in the framework of sustainable development, a strategy which consists in using local materials like fine sediments (dune sand) and other types of material is engaged. The materials constituting the road layers, until today, have been limited to certain so-called noble materials (gravel, aggregates, etc.), but these are being depleted as a result of the intensive exploitation and the scarcity of quality careers. Gypso-limestone encrustation tuffs, the most used materials in pavements (base course and base course) in the Saharan areas such as southern Algeria, have shown acceptable behavior for many years until these last days, when this type of material begins to present certain limits under the effect of the intensity of the traffic. In order to promote the abundant wind sands in these regions, we are interested in developing the dune sands in the pavement as a mixture with the tuffs. The present work presents a contribution to the study of the behavior of the tuff of the Adrar region (South of Algeria) alone and mixed with the sand dunes in different formulations. The aim is to evaluate the evolution of mechanical properties including resistance to simple compression, the ability to compaction and punching (RBC). The work also discusses the influence of the addition of cement in low levels on the performance of the mixture.
relación del becario frente a la nueva regulación del contrato formativo. Zonas de concurrencia y elementos de distinción
Authors: Montes Adalid Gloria María 
Published: October 2022

Los debates en torno al empleo juvenil han adquirido en España una importancia creciente en los últimos años. Aquellos que terminan sus estudios y preparan su entrada en el mercado laboral se enfrentan a una carencia de formación práctica y experiencia en los entornos de trabajo.
A este tenor, existen diversas figuras contractuales o relaciones jurídicas que se ajustan a lo que el nuevo profesional requiere y le facilitan y aceleran su inmersión en el mundo laboral, entre las que encontramos la figura del becario o los contratos formativos. Que, si bien pueden tener notas comunes, tienen naturalezas distintas: uno se considera una relación laboral propiamente dicha, y otro no.
A través de un recorrido normativo en el panorama español y europeo, el cuerpo de este artículo establece el marco regulador de las mencionadas figuras, aludiendo al origen del problema (discernir en la práctica la frontera que existe entre la relación de beca y el contrato de trabajo), contribuyendo al debate sobre la relación jurídica especial de los becarios, su diferenciación con los contratos formativos y un acercamiento a la doctrina y a la jurisprudencia, a través del análisis de las figuras del becario, falso becario, contratos formativos y las bases que determinan la naturaleza del vínculo. Se anotan, como colofón, algunas posibles soluciones; y lo más importante para la determinación de la existencia o no de beca: la realidad fáctica.

Published: October 2022

Increasing video content on social media has led to more people doing video blogging or referred as video bloggers (vloggers). It affects the number of vloggers in Indonesia, reaching half the total number in the world. Vloggers need a bag to carry equipment so that the equipment is stored correctly and undamaged when creating content outdoors. The specific bags for camera equipment on the market still do not fulfill their requirement. These conditions require vloggers to provide various bags, while vlogger activities and equipment always change according to content needs. This study aims to answer the problems experienced by vloggers by increasing the effectiveness of the bag through concepts, systems, access, and compartment layouts. The method used in developing the compartment starts from collecting data such as questionnaires and interviews to identify problems, observation of existing products and product references, activities studies, continued analysis data, design concepts to production, and product testing.
Downscaled climate change scenarios for Central America
Authors: Tamayo Jorge , Rodriguez-Camino Ernesto , Hernanz Alfonso , Covaleda Sara 
Published: October 2022

Abstract. The intersectoral workshop held in December 2016 among the Ibero-American
networks on water, climate change and meteorology, identified the need of
downscaled climate change scenarios for Central America. Such scenarios
would be developed by National Meteorological and Hydrological Services in
the region, based on a common methodology, allowing the assessment of
climate change impacts on water resources and extreme hydro-meteorological
events. This project was supported by the International and Ibero-American
Foundation for Administration and Public Policies of Spain in the framework
of the EUROCLIMA+ programme. One final outcome of the project has been a
freely accessible web viewer, installed on the Centro Clima webpage
(https://centroclima.org/escenarios-cambio-climatico/, last access: 26 September 2022), managed by the Regional Committee on Hydraulic Resources of the Central American Integration System, where all information generated during the project is available for consultation and data downloading by the different sectors of users. A key element in this project has been to integrate many downscaled
projections based on different methods (dynamical and statistical),
totalizing 45 different projections, and aiming at estimating the
uncertainty coming from different sources in the best possible way. Another
essential element has been the strong involvement of the different user
sectors through national workshops, first, at the beginning of the project
for the identification and definition of viewer features, and then for the
presentation of results and planning of its use by prioritized sectors. In a second phase of the project, a regional working group made up of
experts from the participating National Meteorological and Hydrological
Services will be in charge of viewer maintenance and upgrade, including new
sectoral parameters, developed in collaboration with interested users, and
computation and addition of new downscaled projections from CMIP6 in
collaboration with the State Meteorological Agency of Spain.
Evaluating simplifications of subsurface process representations for field-scale permafrost hydrology models
Authors: Gao Bo , Coon Ethan T. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract. Permafrost degradation within a warming climate poses a
significant environmental threat through both the permafrost carbon feedback
and damage to human communities and infrastructure. Understanding this
threat relies on better understanding and numerical representation of
thermo-hydrological permafrost processes and the subsequent accurate
prediction of permafrost dynamics. All models include simplified
assumptions, implying a tradeoff between model complexity and prediction
accuracy. The main purpose of this work is to investigate this tradeoff when
applying the following commonly made assumptions: (1) assuming equal density
of ice and liquid water in frozen soil, (2) neglecting the effect of
cryosuction in unsaturated freezing soil, and (3) neglecting advective heat
transport during soil freezing and thaw. This study designed a set of 62
numerical experiments using the Advanced Terrestrial Simulator (ATS v1.2) to
evaluate the effects of these choices on permafrost hydrological outputs,
including both integrated and pointwise quantities. Simulations were
conducted under different climate conditions and soil properties from three
different sites in both column- and hillslope-scale configurations. Results
showed that amongst the three physical assumptions, soil cryosuction is the
most crucial yet commonly ignored process. Neglecting cryosuction, on
average, can cause 10 %–20 % error in predicting
evaporation, 50 %–60 % error in discharge, 10 %–30 % error in thaw depth, and 10 %–30 % error in soil temperature
at 1 m beneath the surface. The prediction
error for subsurface temperature and water saturation is more obvious at
hillslope scales due to the presence of lateral flux. By comparison, using
equal ice–liquid density has a minor impact on most hydrological metrics of
interest but significantly affects soil water saturation with an averaged
5 %–15 % error. Neglecting advective heat transport
presents the least error, 5 % or even much lower, in most metrics of
interest for a large-scale Arctic tundra system without apparent influence
caused by localized groundwater flow, and it can decrease the simulation time
at hillslope scales by 40 %–80 %. By challenging these
commonly made assumptions, this work provides permafrost hydrology
scientists an important context for understanding the underlying physical
processes, including allowing modelers to better choose the appropriate
process representation for a given modeling experiment.

Daily emollient throughout infancy to prevent eczema
Authors: Hadi Doaa Falih 
Published: October 2022

The first step in the development of eczema is the formation of a deficient skin barrier. We conducted a study to determine if consistent used of an emollient throughout the first year of life may prevent high-risk kids from developing eczema. We found no evidence that consistent used of an emollient during the first year of life protects eczema in high-risk kids, & some evidence that it may raise the risk of skin infections. Parents with a history of eczema, asthma, or allergic rhinitis could avoid utilizing daily emollients to protect their infant from developing eczema, according to our findings.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common leukemia among the adult population and accounts for about 80% of all cases, and its characterized by clonal expansion of immature “blast cells” in the peripheral blood and bone marrow. The stem cell marker CD34 is expressed by leukemia blasts only for a subset of patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). The aim of this study is to determine the role of CD34 in AML and its relationship with the parameters of complete blood (CBC). A total of (60) venous blood sample from patients and (30) control their ages ranged between 18 and 66 years, the samples was collected from Baghdad medical city hospital. Sera from all participants were tested to assessment CD34 level by ELISA. In the current study, CD34 in patients and control groups show a significant difference in relation with AML patients at p-value (<0.001). The levels of CD34 in the patients were 0.55 ± 0.03, whereas it's significantly increased to 0.81 ± 0.05 in the control. Also we found the majority of patients presented with subtype M3 38.3% of total patients.
