Abstract. After the successful launch of Aeolus, which is the first
spaceborne wind lidar developed by the European Space Agency (ESA), on 22 August 2018, we deployed several ground-based coherent Doppler wind lidars
(CDLs) to verify the wind observations from Aeolus. By the simultaneous wind
measurements with CDLs at 17 stations over China, the Rayleigh-clear and
Mie-cloudy horizontal-line-of-sight (HLOS) wind velocities from Aeolus in
the atmospheric boundary layer and the lower troposphere are compared with
those from CDLs. To ensure the quality of the measurement data from CDLs and
Aeolus, strict quality controls are applied in this study. Overall, 52
simultaneous Mie-cloudy comparison pairs and 387 Rayleigh-clear comparison
pairs from this campaign are acquired. All of the Aeolus-produced Level 2B (L2B) Mie-cloudy HLOS wind and Rayleigh-clear HLOS wind and CDL-produced HLOS wind are compared
individually. For the inter-comparison result of Mie-cloudy HLOS wind and
CDL-produced HLOS wind, the correlation coefficient, the standard deviation,
the scaled mean absolute deviation (MAD) and the bias are 0.83, 3.15 m s−1, 2.64 m s−1 and −0.25 m s−1, respectively, while the y=ax
slope, the y=ax+b slope and the y=ax+b intercept are 0.93,
0.92 and −0.33 m s−1. For the Rayleigh-clear
HLOS wind, the correlation coefficient, the standard deviation, the scaled
MAD and the bias are 0.62, 7.07 m s−1, 5.77 m s−1 and −1.15 m s−1, respectively, while the y=ax slope, the
y=ax+b slope and the y=ax+b intercept are 1.00, 0.96 and
−1.2 m s−1. It is found that the standard
deviation, the scaled MAD and the bias on ascending tracks are lower than
those on descending tracks. Moreover, to evaluate the accuracy of Aeolus HLOS
wind measurements under different product baselines, the Aeolus L2B
Mie-cloudy HLOS wind data and L2B Rayleigh-clear HLOS wind data under
Baselines 07 and 08, Baselines 09 and 10, and Baseline 11 are compared against the
CDL-retrieved HLOS wind data separately. From the comparison results, marked misfits between the wind data from Aeolus Baselines 07 and 08 and wind data from
CDLs in the atmospheric boundary layer and the lower troposphere are found.
With the continuous calibration and validation and product processor
updates, the performances of Aeolus wind measurements under Baselines 09 and 10
and Baseline 11 are improved significantly. Considering the influence of
turbulence and convection in the atmospheric boundary layers and the lower
troposphere, higher values for the vertical velocity are common in this
region. Hence, as a special note, the vertical velocity could impact the
HLOS wind velocity retrieval from Aeolus.

The Causative Organism of Urinary Tract Infections UTI: a Cross-sectional Study from a Tertiary Hospital In Saudi Arabia
Authors: Alwaladali Mohammed , Soufan Maya Talal , Almutairi Bandar 
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common disease with a high burden on the healthcare industry. A systematic exploration is necessary of the organisms that cause UTIs, to improve empirical management of patients with acute illness before culture results are obtained. The prevalence of these organisms, both in immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients in Saudi Arabia, needs further clarification.
METHODS: This is a cross-sectional analysis reviewing the charts of patients visiting the emergency department of, and those admitted to, a tertiary hospital in Saudi Arabia during the month of July-August 2021.
RESULT: The total number of participants was 199, with a mean age of 55.8 years (SD=20.02), ranging from 14 to 97 years. 61.8% of patients were immunocompromised, and one-third were from the oncology wards. 40.7% (n=81) were diabetics and 8.54% (n=17) had CKD/ESRD. Females were 25% more likely than males to acquire Candida infections, while Pseudomonas aeruginosa was 26.7% more prevalent in males. Nevertheless, mixed gram-negative bacteria caused the most UTIs, in 40.20% (n=80) of cases, followed by Candida, 16.1% (n=32), and then mixed gram-positive bacteria, in 14.57% (n=29). This was also observed among immunocompromised patients and the subsegment of oncology patients on active chemotherapy, although with variable percentages.
CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates that patients’ immune status is the main determinant of the causative organism of UTIs. The treatment threshold for Candida in diabetic patients and those with CKD/ESRD should be lower, especially when they require admission.

Authors: Alsulimani Loui K , Baajlan Ohoud , Alghamdi Khalid , Alahmadi Raghad , Bakhsh Abdullah , Abualenain Jameel 
Published: January 2022

Background: Endotracheal intubation (EI) is a critical life-saving procedure commonly performed on emergency department (ED) patients who present with altered mental status (AMS).
Aims: We aimed to investigate the safety of observing, without EI, patients who present to the ED with decreased levels of consciousness (LOC).
Methods: We reviewed the data of all adult ED patients with a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score ≤ 8, during the period between 2012 and 2018, in an academic tertiary care centre. Trauma patients were excluded. The patients were divided into two groups for comparison: those who were intubated and those who were not. Data on mortality, morbidity, and baseline clinical characteristics were collected and analysed.
Results: After screening 6334 electronic medical records of patients presenting to the ED with decreased LOC, only 257 patients met the inclusion criteria. 173 (67.3%) patients were intubated, while 84 (32.7%) were not. Among the intubated patients, 165 (95.4%) were intubated early (within two hours of presentation). Mortality, morbidity and length of stay for the intubated group were higher, although the baseline clinical characteristics were the same.
Conclusion: It might be safe to observe non-trauma emergency patients with a GCS score ≤ 8 without intubation. However, such decision should be taken carefully, as delayed intubation can be associated with higher mortality and morbidity
Drug related problems on anti-platelets and anti-coagulants in stroke
Authors: Mounika Thogaru  
Published: January 2022

Introduction: Antiplatelet agents prevent platelets from dumping and prevent clots from forming and growing. Anticoagulants slow down clotting thereby reducing fibrin formation and preventing clots. Drug-related problems are a major concern in the view of physical, psychological, and economic burden to patients.
Objectives: The aim of the research work is to access, evaluate and monitor the drug-related problems on antiplatelet and anticoagulants in stroke patients.
Methods: In this study 300 numbers of patients were screened including both males and females of all age groups in a super specialty hospital.
Results: The number of ADRs was found to be predominantly associated with a male as compared to females as well as most ADRs were reported for patients with cardiac stroke as compared to ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke.
Conclusions: Low molecular weight heparins, aspirin, clopidogrel drugs resulted in various adverse drug reactions. Mostly 114 cases of ADR were due to drug-drug interactions followed by drug-food interactions and drug ethanol interactions as was concluded from the study.

As dimensões do ensino de Geografia da Saúde no Brasil
Authors: Porto Bruno , Gurgel Helen , Catão Rafael 
Published: January 2022

Contexto: a geografia da saúde é uma área de pesquisa que se torna cada dia mais importante, especialmente no Brasil onde a presença de um sistema único de saúde é tema de muitas pesquisas. De modo a conhecer a abrangência do ensino de Geografia e Saúde nos cursos de geografia, foi realizado um estudo para avaliar a disponibilidade de disciplinas sobre essa temática nas universidades públicas brasileiras. Para tal, foi elaborado e enviado aos coordenadores dos cursos de geografia um questionário online e foi realizada entrevistas abertas com professores da área da saúde sobre a utilização da geografia em suas aulas. Resultados: apenas cerca de um terço dos cursos possuem uma disciplina na temática de geografia da saúde, e elas tendem a ser de caráter optativo e não possuir oferta frequente. Além disso, professores da área de saúde afirmaram que utilizam técnicas e saberes de geografia da saúde, mas não conheciam essa temática de pesquisa, pelo menos não por esse nome. Conclusões: apensar do aumento de estudos nessa temática ainda há uma importante lacuna no ensino da geografia da saúde no Brasil, provavelmente devido abaixa institucionalização e divulgação dessa temática. Portanto, recomenda-se um esforço na divulgação e institucionalização dessa temática a partir da oferta de disciplinas e ações de interação da geográfica com cursos da área da saúde.

Published: January 2022

Many approaches have been proposed using Electroencephalogram (EEG) to detect epilepsy seizures in their early stages. Epilepsy seizure is a severe neurological disease. Practitioners continue to rely on manual testing of EEG signals. Artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) can effectively deal with this problem. ML can be used to classify EEG signals employing feature extraction techniques. This work focuses on automated detection for epilepsy seizures using ML techniques. Various algorithms are investigated, such as Bagging, Decision Tree (DT), Adaboost, Support vector machine (SVM), K-nearest neighbors(KNN), Artificial neural network(ANN), Naïve Bayes, and Random Forest (RF) to distinguish injected signals from normal ones with high accuracy. In this work, 54 Discrete wavelet transforms (DWTs) are used for feature extraction, and the similarity distance is applied to identify the most powerful features. The features are then selected to form the features matrix. The matrix is subsequently used to train ML. The proposed approach is evaluated through different metrics such as F-measure, precision, accuracy, and Recall. The experimental results show that the SVM and Bagging classifiers in some data set combinations, outperforming all other classifiers
Effect of lunar cycle on rainfall
Authors: RAJAN C. K. , G. BINDU 
Published: January 2022

ABSTRACT. Rainfall data for a period of 50 years from 1931 onwards have been analysed for three west, coast stations in Kerala for the southwest monsoon period, The period is divided into two halves, the first half, i.e.June-July, providing comparatively more rainfall and the second half, i.e. August-September, providing comparatively lesser rainfall. Rainy days, having rain amounts>6.25 cm/day, have only been utilized for this study. The lunar cycle, which is having 29.53 days, is divided into ten phases, each phase constituting of around three days. To consider the effect of solar activity, the period is divided into active and quiet sun by considering those years with sunspot number greater than the upper quartile and those with sunspot number less than the lower quartile respectively. The data were analysed using x2 test. It describes the magnitude of the discrepancy between theory and observation.
Analysis has shown that there is some statistical significance between heavy rainfall and lunar cycle. The effect is more significant in active sun period which shows the effect of solar activity also.
Water requirement and growth of sorghum over semi-arid region in Deccan Plateau
Authors: DAS H. P. , YADAV B. P. , CHOWDHURY A. 
Published: January 2022

Based on the result of an experiment conducted from 1978-86 during post-rainy crop season at Solapur, crop coefficients for sorghum during different stages of growth were determined. A model has been developed for relating consumptive use of water at different phenological stages in relation to climatic parameters and crop water needs. The extent to which water requirements of the crop are met and water use efficiency have been discussed.
The water requirement appears to be maximum at tasseling/flowering phases of sorghum growth. It works out at 4 mm per day under Solapur environment. The seasonal rainfall in post-rainy season does not appear to furnish a reliable estimate of the yield.

Procesos artísticos participativos y colaborativos en los distritos culturales de Burdeos y Nantes
Authors: Juan García Natalia , Lorente Lorente Jesús Pedro 
Published: January 2022

This paper analyses the burgeoning impulse, in the main cultural districts of Bordeaux and Nantes, of participative and collaborative art practices. Such adjectives are not synonymous but, true enough, it is sometimes difficult to differentiate these two categories of relational art; moreover, co-working spaces could literally be considered another kind of collaboration process. All in all, beyond terminology matters, the aim of this essay is to point out the flourishing of combined official and community-based initiatives. A model of arts-led urban revitalisation seeking greater involvement of the local ecosystem shaping a “cultural district”, as alternative to the paradigm of the singular institutional trigger worldly identified with the Guggenheim-Bilbao. Nowadays there are many counter-examples in Bilbao and in French cities on the Bay of Biscay.
Este artículo analiza el prolífico impulso en los principales distritos culturales de Burdeos y Nantes del arte participativo y colaborativo. Tales adjetivos no son sinónimos, pero es cierto que a veces es difícil diferenciar estas dos categorías de arte relacional; por otro lado, los espacios de co-working podrían ser designados, al pie de la letra, como otro tipo de proceso de co-laboración. Con todo, más allá de la terminología, lo que pretende esta reflexión es constatar el florecimiento de iniciativas oficiales y de base comunitaria combinadas. Un modelo de revitalización urbana a través de las artes con mayor involucración del ecosistema local formando un “distrito cultural”, como alternativa frente al paradigma del singular detonante institucional mundialmente identificado con el Guggenheim-Bilbao. Hoy día no faltan los contraejemplos bilbaínos y en ciudades francesas del golfo de Vizcaya.
