Revised Earthquake Recurrence Intervals in California, U.S.A.: New Paleoseismic Sites and Application of Event Likelihoods
Authors: McPhillips Devin 
Published: August 2022

AbstractRecurrence intervals for ground rupturing earthquakes are critical data for assessing seismic hazard. Recurrence intervals are presented here for 38 paleoseismic sites in California. Eleven of these include new or updated data; the remainder use data previously included in the Unified California Earthquake Rupture Forecast Version 3 (UCERF3). The methods and results are consistent with UCERF3. In addition, revised recurrence intervals are presented at every site. The revised recurrence intervals incorporate uncertainty in the interpretation of paleoseismic evidence, which is expressed as event likelihood. Event likelihood is the probability that the evidence has been correctly interpreted as a unique earthquake. Event likelihoods are estimated here for 85 inferred past earthquakes at eight paleoseismic sites in California, using a single, consistent methodology. The average event likelihood is 0.85. The revised recurrence intervals are 16% longer, on average, than conventional estimates, and their confidence intervals are disproportionately wider. These recurrence intervals are suitable for inclusion in a “grand inversion” rupture forecast, and they may be important for addressing a systematic misfit in the UCERF3 grand inversion. The revised recurrence intervals may also be important for assessing the unusually long earthquake hiatus in California. Other applications may not need to consider event likelihoods because the effects are small relative to typical uncertainties.

Este trabalho objetiva relatar uma estratégia de enfrentamento ao novo coronavírus. Utilizou-se da música como ferramenta para promover saúde, a partir da construção e divulgação de uma música com abordagem educativa e informativa sobre o vírus, em busca de conscientizar e mobilizar mudanças de hábitos da comunidade, através do lúdico, em uma Unidade de Saúde da Família (USF) - Distrito Sanitário V, João Pessoa/PB. Atividades à distância ocorreram de forma colaborativa, no período entre março a maio de 2020, envolveram profissionais preceptoras da USF, professores e estudantes dos projetos PET-Saúde Interprofissionalidade e Saúde na Comunidade da UFPB, além de talentos locais do território da USF. Como produto final, resultou na criação de um infográfico com a música “O corona está aqui” de autoria de Kennedy Costa e voz de Erivan Araújo, que foi gravada e disponibilizada gratuitamente para divulgação nas principais rádios comunitárias, universitárias e comerciais de João Pessoa, assim como divulgada através de moto som na comunidade, mídias sociais e aplicativos de mensagens. A ação teve grande repercussão, uma vez que a música provocou um encantamento com facilidade de memorização do conteúdo e sensibilização das pessoas para os cuidados necessários referentes ao tema. A partir do produto informativo e de orientações construídas em formato de melodia e ilustrativo, ampliou-se o acesso à informação, aproximou a população da equipe, e as pessoas sentiram-se cuidadas, apesar do distanciamento social. Portanto, pode-se afirmar que a música é uma ferramenta viável para se trabalhar a prevenção da doença e a promoção da saúde.

A case series of oleander poisoning: challenges faced by emergency physicians in developing countries
Authors: Mani Utsav Anand , Kumar Mukesh , Abbas Haider , Gupta Pranay 
Published: August 2022

Objective: Through the reporting of this case series, we aim to establish whether a conservative approach, through managing arrhythmias and vital signs, can be reliably used as a treatment modality for oleander poisoning in developing countries.

Methods: This study is a case series of 11 patients who presented with oleander poisoning and were conservatively managed in the absence of standard antidote.

Results: All 11 patients treated with conservative approach survived. Conservative approach included use of atropine for management of symptomatic bradycardia followed by Dopamine infusion, correction of serum potassium and magnesium levels, standby defibrillation, and transvenous pacing.

Conclusion: The absence of reliable dosage of poison ingested, the lack of facilities for serum digoxin estimation, and the unavailability of digoxin fab antibodies pose challenges for the management of patients with oleander poisoning. Patients can, however, be managed conservatively following the Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) algorithm in a setting that lacks the standard treatment of this poison.
An assessment of the impact of demographic variables on students’ economic performance
Authors: Abdu Bichi Ado 
Published: August 2022

Economics as a subject is regarded as the bedrock of all management and social science-based disciplines. The persistently low level of students’ achievement in Economics in senior secondary school (SSS II) examinations has become a thing of great concern to all stakeholders. This study examined students’ performance in the SSS II Economics qualifying examination in Kano State and the influence of gender and schools’ nature on their performances in Economics. An ex-post-facto design of descriptive research was adopted for the study. A proforma was used to collect data from a sample of 300 students, selected using a stratified random sampling procedure from the secondary schools in Kano State, Nigeria. The data collected were the students’ performances in the Economics achievement test. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics and an independent sample t-test. Overall, the results showed that students performed above average and a significant gender difference exists in Economics performance.

Mesures agronomiques permettant une diminution des populations de la tique <em>Amblyomma variegatum</em>
Authors: Barré Nicolas 
Published: August 2022

Certaines méthodes d’exploitation des pâturages et des troupeaux pourraient être appliquées avec succès pour diminuer l’infestation du bétail par la tique Amblyomma variegatum. L’assainissement du sol peut être obtenu par un surpâturage momentané suivi d’un détiquage des animaux « pièges ». Cet assainissement peut être maintenu en limitant la mise à l’herbe durant la période 18h-6h, au cours de laquelle très peu de tiques se détachent des hôtes et infestent les prairies et où très peu de tiques à jeun sont actives et se fixent sur les hôtes. Par contre, la longévité des nymphes et surtout des adultes d’Amblyomma variegatum est telle que la diminution de l’infestation par la pratique de la rotation des animaux sur les pâturages est inapplicable.
Régime alimentaire de ruminants domestiques (bovins, ovins, caprins) exploitant des parcours naturels sahéliens et soudano-sahéliens. 1. Rappels bibliographiques sur les objectifs et les méthodes d’étude de la composition botanique des régimes ingérés au pâturage
Authors: Guérin Hubert 
Published: August 2022

La trop fréquente absence de gestion des parcours naturels sahéliens est unanimement dénoncée. Malheureusement, outre les difficultés rencontrées pour mettre en œuvre les mesures les plus urgentes telles que la mise en défens des parcours, la réduction des effectifs du cheptel, le reboisement, etc., les normes techniques d’une gestion optimale sont mal connues. Il est donc important de mettre au point des méthodologies d’étude des relations « animal-végétation » et d’établir les références techniques indispensables à une meilleure gestion. La composition botanique du régime fait partie des connaissances à acquérir dans ce domaine. L’auteur expose les principales méthodes utilisées dans les régions tempérées ou chaudes pour caractériser le régime des animaux exploitant les pâturages à faible productivité.
Note sur la place du nitroxynil dans la lutte intégrée contre la fasciolose bovine à <em>Fasciola gigantica</em> à Madagascar
Authors: Touratier Louis 
Published: August 2022

Avant les maladies infectieuses virales ou bactériennes, la fasciolose bovine à Fasciola gigantica est, de loin, le fléau le plus important de l’élevage malgache par les nombreuses pertes économiques dont elle est la cause qu’elles soient directes ou indirectes : mortalité, saisies, ralentissement de la croissance, infertilité, inaptitude au travail, immunodépression contrecarrant l’efficacité des vaccins. Des travaux récents ont apporté des éléments intéressants pour mesurer son impact. Ils s’étendent progressivement à l’ensemble des zones contaminées de façon à pouvoir évaluer avec un maximum d’exactitude l’incidence économique de la maladie et la rentabilité des mesures de lutte. Les schémas d’intervention sont simples :
- Destruction du parasite adulte par l’emploi d’un fasciolicide : solution aqueuse à 25 % de nitroxynil, injectable par voie sous-cutanée, largement employée et bien connue des éleveurs ;
- Action sur les mollusques hôtes intermédiaires (Lymnaea natalensis) par des moyens biologiques ayant déjà fait leurs preuves à Madagascar : élevage de canards ou d’autres prédateurs d’origine exotique dans les points d’eau et les rizières.
Les données fournies par les enquêtes épizootiologiques sur la distomatose à Fasciola gigantica permettent de déterminer les moments d’infestation des bovins avec pour corollaire un programme de traitements systématiques par le nitroxynil de tous les animaux dans une zone donnée. L’expérience de traitements réguliers par le nitroxynil a montré :
- son efficacité, prouvée par un engraissement plus rapide des animaux traités ;
- son effet prolongé, empêchant les réinfestations et assurant une reprise de poids durable ;
- son innocuité (bonne tolérance locale et générale, aucune toxicité pour les veaux sous la mère) ;
- sa compatibilité avec les campagnes de vaccinations contre les maladies infectieuses, charbons bactéridien et symptomatique notamment.
Conjointement l’action sur les hôtes intermédiaires par les palmipèdes et autres prédateurs donne lieu à une diminution très importante des formes infestantes, métacercaires de Fasciola gigantica et furcocercaires de Schistosoma spp. Ce moyen est donc susceptible de contribuer également à la lutte contre les trématodoses humaines.
L'élevage de <em> Glossina morsitans submorsitans </em> Newstead, 1910 (<em>Diptera-Glossinidae</em>) au CRTA de Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso. I. Adaptation d'une souche sauvage aux conditions d'élevage en laboratoire sur animaux nourriciers

Dans le cadre du projet de lutte contre les glossines, mené par le CRTA de Bobo-Dioulasso (Burkina Faso), pour la création d’une zone pastorale d’accueil à Sidéradougou, le besoin de mâles stériles de Glossina morsitans submorsitans Newstead, pour les lâchers, a nécessité un élevage de masse de cette espèce. 11 182 pupes produites en brousse par des femelles capturées dans la région de la Comoe (Sud­ Ouest du Burkina Faso) ont été rapportées au CRTA pour créer la génération parentale fin 1981. Après une longue période stationnaire d’adaptation, le but fut atteint au cours de l’année 1984. Cet article fait le point des résultats obtenus depuis l’origine de l’élevage, jusqu’au mois de juin 1984 (début de la production de masse), et décrit les difficultés rencontrées pour adapter G. morsitans submorsitans. Ces résultats permettent de prévoir, pour créer un élevage de cette espèce à partir d’une souche sauvage, une période de 2 ans d’adaptation aux conditions de laboratoire et à l’alimentation sur animaux domestiques.

Anthropogenic factors are the main cause of damage to mangrove ecosystems
Restoration is a method for ecosystem restoration
Restoration success is seen from the physical, chemical, and biological parameters
Phytoplankton is a bioindicator of water quality
The abundance of mangroves can explain the state of an ecosystem

Abstract
Mangrove ecosystems in Sine and Pancer Cengkrong had degraded due to land-use change and restoration has been carried out over a few year on the damaged location. This study was conducted to evaluate water quality of mangrove ecosystems at both locations based on physical, chemical and phytoplankton parameters as bioindicators. The evaluation of Cengkrong Mangrove was carried out at 4 different locations based on different periode of restoration, namely restoration of 2008-2009, 2013-2014, natural mangroves, and 2005 succession mangroves, whereas there was only one sampling site at Sine mangrove namely 1998-2008 restoration. The physico-chemical parameters measured include water temperature, air temperature, conductivity, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), salinity, nitrate, and orthophosphate. Phytoplankton data was used to measure, trophic diatom index (TDI) as an indicator of water nutrition status, and pollution tolerant value (%PTV) as an indicator of organic pollution. The results showed that the water quality at all the study locations met the Indonesian Ministry of Environment Regulation No 51/2004, except nitrate and phosphate. Based on the TDI index, mangrove in Sine, Cengkrong 2013-2014 restoration, and 2005 succession mangroves were categorized as hyper-eutrophic, natural Cengkrong mangroves were categorized as eutrophic, and 2008-2009 restored Cengkrong mangroves were categorized as meso-eutrophic. Based on the %PTV index, in the Sine mangrove, 2013-2014 Cengkrong restoration, and 2005 succession mangroves were classified as high levels of organic matter pollution, while in the Cengkrong 2008-2009 restoration and natural Cengkrong were classified as a moderate level of organic pollution.

Published: August 2022

Background and Objective: Female genital mutilation (FGM) is widespread mainly in low and middle-income countries. Nigeria is one of the countries with the highest prevalence of FGM, accounting for about one of every four cases globally. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of FGM amongthree generations in Abuja, the federal capital city of Nigeria.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study among women of reproductive age (15-49 years) within two area councils of Abuja (Bwari and Abuja Municipal) and Nyanya suburban district adjoining the federal capital territory in Nigeria. The respondents are pregnant women attending antenatal care at four selected health facilities. Data were collected using Google Forms and were analyzed with SPSS for Windows version 25.
Results: This study comprised data from 634 females (who had an average age of 33±6.0 years) from four major healthcare facilities in Abuja. The most common age group was 30 – 34 years (29.2%). The prevalence of FGM in the first generation (37.7%) was significantly higher than in the second (28.5%) and the third generations (8.7%) (p<0.01). The prevalence of FGM in the second generation was also significantly higher than in the third (p<0.01). The predictors of women circumcising their daughters include primary/no-education AOR 1.48 (95% CI: 0.41-5.31; p<0.05), being a traditionalist 4.94 (95% CI: 0.29-84.56; p<0.05), or Muslim 2.27 (95% CI: 0.94-5.49; p<0.05), respondent’s mother being circumcised 1.69 (95% CI: 0.26-10.85, p<0.05) or mother’s circumcision unknown 5.41 (95% CI: 0.78-37.34; p<0.05), respondents being circumcised 54.71 (95% CI: 0.78-37.34; p<0.001), culture 2.48 (95% CI: 1.00-6.19; p<0.05), and ignorance of adverse psycho-social/emotional effects of FGM 4.39 (95% CI: 1.46-13.17; p<0.05).
Conclusion and Global Health Implications: Although there is a decline in FGM prevalence from the first generation to the third generation in Nigeria, the current prevalence of 8.7% remains a public health concern. Nigerian women’s ongoing experience of FGM requires both individual and stakeholders’ involvement to eradicate health-related problems such as tissue damage, infection, scarring, infertility, and pains during sexual intercourse, urination, and menstruation.

Quality Assessment of Microseismic P-Phase Arrival Picks and Its Application of Source Location in Coal Mining
Authors: Zhu Mengbo , Cheng Jianyuan , Liu Lang , Qu Huisheng , Xie Geng 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Correctly identifying abnormal and false P-phase arrival picks (P-pick) in underground coal mining is essential to microseismic source location. Manual judgement and identification are time-consuming with the increasingly growing monitoring data. To eliminate the effects of false P-picks, a novel microseismic source location with weighted P-picks was proposed, and ten waveform parameters were selected to characterize the difference between two types of signals with usable and unusable P-picks. The discriminant analysis experiment has revealed that the prediction rate of unusable P-pick set increases dramatically with the sample size when the sample size is less than 2,000 and the prediction rates of unusable P-pick set are around 88% when the sample size is greater than 2,000, while the prediction rates of usable P-pick set are around 80%, which is little affected by the sample size. Considering the prediction rates of usable and unusable P-pick populations, the discrimination function with a sample size of 3,000 was selected to identify the usable and unusable P-picks. The identification rates of usable and unusable P-pick populations are up to 83.24% and 88.99%, respectively. The application of P-pick discriminant analysis model in source location was discussed. The location case and long-term result show that the P-pick discriminant model and its application in source location perform well.
Physics-Informed Neural Networks Help Predict Fluid Flow in Porous Media
Authors: Carpenter Chris 
Published: August 2022

This article, written by JPT Technology Editor Chris Carpenter, contains highlights of paper SPE 203033, “Prediction of Fluid Flow in Porous Media Using Physics-Informed Neural Networks,” by Muhammad M. Almajid, SPE, and Moataz O. Abu-Alsaud, SPE, Saudi Aramco. The paper has not been peer reviewed.
The authors of the complete paper write that the realm of reservoir engineering is considered to belong to the small-data regime because of the complex physical systems involved and the inherent uncertainty of the problems. The objective of the paper is to present a physics-informed neural network (PINN) technique that is able to use information from the fluid-flow physics and observed data to model the Buckley-Leverett problem.

Fractional-Flow Theory
Through their study of fluid displacement in sands, Buckley and Leverett introduced the fractional-flow theory. The theory estimates the rate at which one fluid displaces another and, consequently, the change in fluid saturations. The theory has been applied to many fluid-flow processes in porous media such as waterflooding, carbonated waterflooding, alcohol flooding, miscible flooding, steam flooding, foam flooding, low-salinity waterflooding, and carbon sequestration. The authors use the fractional-flow theory to simulate the displacement of water-filled porous media by gas, a process detailed in the complete paper.
Once the Buckley-Leverett solution is obtained, the saturation profile of gas or water can be plotted at different times. It is noteworthy that a gas viscosity of 0.2 cp in this case is used so that the shock is visually apparent in the Buckley-Leverett solution. Additionally, having this large of a gas viscosity is justified. For instance, foamed gas can develop apparent viscosities orders of magnitude larger than unfoamed gas. Fig. 1 plots the gas-saturation profile along the dimensionless distance. Obtaining the corresponding water-saturation profiles is trivial. The authors compare the analytical solution and the PINN prediction with respect to water saturation.
Fiber-Optic Sensing System Allows Real-Time Visualization of Gas-Kick Dynamics
Authors: Carpenter Chris 
Published: August 2022

This article, written by JPT Technology Editor Chris Carpenter, contains highlights of paper SPE 201539, “Distributed Sensing and Real-Time Visualization of Gas-Kick Dynamics in a Full-Scale Wellbore,” by W.C. Williams, SPE, C.E. Taylor, and M.A. Almeida, SPE, Louisiana State University, et al. The paper has not been peer reviewed.
The project described in the complete paper used a 9⅝-in., 5,200-ft-deep wellbore retrofit with distributed fiber optics [distributed temperature sensing (DTS) and distributed acoustic sensing (DTS)] and four permanent pressure/temperature (P/T) gauges to sense and visualize gas-kick dynamics downhole in real time. Variations in flow rate, kick size, and backpressure were investigated, including gas migration during shut in. Data were consolidated with the rig-recorded surface data to create a complete picture of the experiments.

Project Background
The current work is a major component of the 3-year US National Academies-funded Gulf Research Project (GRP) at Louisiana State University (LSU). The project was proposed inside the focus area of offshore safety as a part of the multifaceted GRP. The full-scale testing component of LSU’s project is concentrated on the proof-of-concept of distributed sensing for gas-in-riser detection and characterization, especially focused around drilling and completion operations. The project uses the existing facilities at LSU’s Petroleum Engineering Research and Technology Transfer Laboratory (PERTT Laboratory).
