A mixed distribution approach for low-flow frequency analysis – Part 1: concept, performance and effect of seasonality
Authors: Laaha Gregor 
Published: June 2022

Abstract. In seasonal climates with a warm and a cold season, low-flows are generated by different processes so that the annual extreme series will be a mixture of summer and winter low-flow events. This leads to a violation of the homogeneity assumption for all statistics derived from the annual series and give rise to inaccurate conclusions. In this paper we propose a mixed distribution approach to perform frequency analysis in catchments with mixed low-flow regime. We formulate the theoretical basis of the mixed distribution approach for the lower extremes based on annual minima series. The main strength of the model is that it allows the user to estimate return periods of summer low-flows, winter low-flows and annual return periods in a theoretically sound and consistent way. Using prototypical examples, we show how the model behaves for a range of low-flow regimes, from distinct winter and summer regimes to mixed regimes where seasonal occurrence in summer and winter is equally likely. The examples show in a qualitative way the errors we have to expect with conventional extreme value statistics performed with the annual extremes series. The model is then applied to a comprehensive Austrian data set to quantify the expected gain of using the mixed distribution approach compared to conventional frequency analysis. Results indicate that the gain of using a mixed distribution approach is indeed large. On average, the error is reduced by 21, 39 and 63 % when estimating the low-flow with a 20-, 50- and 100-year return period. For the 100-year event, 75 % of stations show a performance gain of > 10 %, 41 % of stations > 50 % and 25 % of stations > 80.6. This suggests a much broader relevance of the approach that goes beyond highly mixed seasonal regimes to include the strongly seasonal ones. We finally correlate the performance gain with seasonality indices in order to show the expected gain conditional to the strength of seasonality expressed by the ratio of average summer and winter low flow SR. For the 100-year event, the expected gain is about 70 % for SR =1.0, 20 % for SR = 1.5, and 10 % for SR = 2.0. The errors are further allocated to the spatial patterns of SR in the study area. The results suggest that the mixed estimator is relevant not only for mountain forelands but for a broad range of low flow regimes. The mixed distribution approach provides one consistent approach for summer, winter, and annual probabilities and should be used by default in seasonal climates with a cold winter season where summer and winter low flows can occur.

Considerações Finais: A pandemia foi extremamente desafiadora para todos, e no âmbito do trabalho considerado “normal”, tivemos a ascensão do trabalho HO, o qual mais tarde se tonaria híbrido, grande foram os desafios das empresas em conseguir através da tecnologia ofertar esta possibilidade de trabalho aos seus colaboradores, e por outro lado muitas foram as vantagens e desvantagens enfrentadas por este trabalhadores, que no meu ponto de vista possuíram mais vantagens do que desvantagens e agora após o pico pandêmico observamos que muitas empresas, de fato, permaneceram com esta nova modalidade de trabalho.
12 Labours Seminar Series (Platform 1): A framework for personalised Physiome modelling
Authors: Hunter Peter 
Published: June 2022

Most human disease (chronic or susceptibility to a virus) seems to have about a 50:50 mix of genetic predisposition and 'environmental' (i.e. non-genetic) association. The MBIE-funded 12 Labours project is attempting to bring both of these factors to bear on three specific medical challenges (the three Exemplar Projects) by building three technology platforms - P1: multiscale modelling; P2: model-based clinical workflows; and P3: a common infrastructure for handing data from wearable and implantable devices. The talk will address one aspect of this challenge for P1. Namely, how do we create a modelling infrastructure that can connect multiscale gene/protein/cell/tissue/organ models with anatomical systems that involve the whole body: the cardiovascular system, the autonomic nervous system, the enteric nervous system, the epithelial integumentary system, the lymphatic system, and the musculoskeletal system (for force transmission). We certainly do not have all the answers to this challenge, but we are beginning to construct what we call 'functional connectivity' maps that we think will help link this whole body connectivity with our standards-based infrastructure for multiscale modelling (based on the CellML and FieldML standards that ABI has pioneered).
“The Most Unique and Spicy Volume in Existence”: A Picaresque Reappraisal of Mark Twain’s Innocents Abroad
Authors: Holbrook Myrial Adel 
Published: June 2022

ABSTRACT
Mark Twain’s first book, The Innocents Abroad (1869), despite being the most widely sold of his works in his lifetime, often baffles more recent readers. Innocents tends to be seen as interruptive, unclassifiable, and valuable mostly as an antecedent to his later novels. Prominent Twain scholars Robert Gray Bruce and Hamlin Hill once belittled Innocents as a “patchwork scissors-and-paste job,” and Bruce Michelson remarks that the “narrative stance” of Innocents is a persistent “mystery and a cause of argument” to contemporary audiences. The author proposes that to appreciate Twain’s travelogue, we must situate it not in a picturesque or burlesque context (both traditional for most travelogues of the nineteenth century), but instead venture further back in the Western canon—to the classic Spanish picaresque. Drawing on the scholarship of Ulrich Wicks and Alexander Blackburn, she embarks on a comparative study of Lazarillo de Tormes (1554), the original picaresque text, and Innocents, making a particular focus on the respective narrators and their use of the aside. She argues that Innocents is modally and symbolically (as opposed to generically) picaresque. Such a reappraisal of Twain’s first monograph opens vistas onto the trickling inheritance of the picaresque mode in curious and unexpected literary places.

WHO initiated a policy related to the health for all principles and realized it in the application of gatekeeper theory for increasing the quality of public health center services which include the aspects of First Contact, Continuity, Comprehensiveness, and Coordination services. The purpose of this research was to explore nurses’ perceptions of gatekeepers’ role in NhI services at Public Health Center. This research is using descriptive qualitative design and purposive sampling with thematic analysis is used as sampling technique. Characteristics of the participants include 80% female with qualification 80% are vocational nurses and 60% nurses on duty at community public health center. Results of this research found three major themes including the involvement of administrative services, service providers, and service strategy implementers. The three themes are a manifestation of the integration of implementation of the four main gatekeeper functions by nursing staff of Public Health Center. Services run by nurses are considered less than optimal in first contact and continuous aspect, in term of nursing care documentation and the absence of HIV/AIDS treatment services. This research is expected to be a guide for updating information related to the role of nurses in public health center as gatekeeper.

The scholar discusses the discourse on Transgenderism and its upliftment with the support of Literature, Science, and Religion. Arundhati Roy’s novel The Ministry of Utmost Happiness sounds for the protection and freedom of the Hermaphrodites through the story of Afthab who changed his name to Anjum later. Here the scholar put forward the scientific and religious perspective into the topic, considering the up-to-date fatwas by jurists and the stands of modern science. Arundhati Roy explains the real situations of the marginalized people, the so-called Hijras. The paper explores the different verses in the Quran and the relevant hadiths that are stated in the contemporary discussion, and what literature says and what science says to protect this gender identity. This critique is separated into three main parts: in the first part, I discuss the concepts which has been discussed in the work of Arundhati Roy with some examples from society. In the second part, the scholar presents the sources of religious law, namely the religious texts say on the topic and significant semantic terminology.

A system microemulsions was used to make metformin nanoparticles. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy were used to diagnose previously prepared nanoparticles, which found that the average size of previously prepared nanoparticles is 29.5 nm. This study looked at the effects of metformin nanoparticles on rats with diabetic nephropathy. Diabetic nephropathy was successfully developed in rats using a high-fat diet and a single dose of 30 mg/kg streptozotocin. Metformin nanoparticles was administered intragastrically for 60 days, and fasting blood sugar, fasting insulin concentration, serum urea, serum albumin, serum creatinine, albuminuria and albumin to creatinine ratio were subsequently examined at the end of administration. The current investigation found that metformin NPs therapy effectively lowered fasting blood sugar, fasting insulin concentration, serum urea, serum albumin, serum creatinine, albuminuria, and albumin to creatinine ratio in diabetic nephropathy rats, with an increase in serum albumin.

Analysis of the Theme of "Escape" in Bone from the Perspective of Narrative Time
Authors: Pan Yuhai 
Published: June 2022

Chinese American writer Fae Myenne Ng’s debut novel, Bone, adopts a unique narrative style to embody a Chinese American family’s choice of “escape” from Chinatown in mental or physical way. This paper studies the theme of “escape” from the perspective of Genette’s narrative time, and analyzes how the designed narrative structure reflects the theme of “escape”. On narrative order, the author constructs the story through the inverted memory of the character Leila, creating a sense from distance to proximity that bespeaks the theme of “escape”. On narrative duration, the author uses the skills of summary, scene, and pause to present different forms of “escapes” of the two generations of Chinese Americans; on narrative frequency, the author focuses on repeating the death of Ona, which is the epitome of the whole family’s “escape”. By organizing such narrative structure, the pain and bewilderment of Chinese American “escapes” from Chinatown are reinforced.

Authors: Nirmalson Shini Preetha , Vijayakarthikeyan M  
Published: June 2022

Background: Globally malnutrition possesses a double burden in the forms of undernutrition and obesity. The most adverse form of human deprivation is undernutrition among under five children. A child who is underweight may be stunted, wasted or both.
Objectives: To assess the nutritional status of under-five children and to identify the determinants of nutritional status among under-five children.
Materials and Methods: This is a community based cross-sectional, analytical study conducted on 330 under-five children from a rural area of Salem district of Tamilnadu. Simple random sampling was used to select the study participants. Data was collected using a pre tested semi-structured questionnaire containing socio-demographic particulars, details pertaining to the mother, details pertaining to the child and anthropometric measurements. Data was entered in MS Excel and analysed using SPSS version 20.
Results: In this study, majority 60% of them were males. Around 16.4%, 26.4% and 32% of Under 5 children were underweight, wasted and stunted respectively. During the last 1 year about 33.6% and 73.6% had history of acute diarrhoeal infection and acute respiratory tract infection. Variables significantly associated with underweight, stunting and wasting were female gender, nourishment of mother, exclusive breastfeeding (p value < 0.05). Underweight was significantly associated (p value < 0.05) with wasting and stunting.
Conclusion: Stunting and wasting rates were higher compared to the National and regional rates given inNFHS-5 data. Proper care of the girl child, frequent sensitization of the mothers regarding the nutrition of their children by community health workers and early diagnosis and treatment of infection are some measures that can be adopted to combat the problem of undernutrition in the locality.

Background: In both waves of COVID-19 infections, loss of taste was noted in a disproportionately high number of individuals. However, there is a considerable risk of dental disease during and after COVID -19 infections.
Aim: Our aim here is to study the oral manifestation of the COVID -19 infections and make a comparison of the severity of presentation in the second wave with the first wave among the general population in Bhubaneswar, city of Odisha, India.
Methods: A detailed online questionnaire was developed focusing on the oral manifestation during both the waves using Google forms.
Results: Out of a total of 380 RT PCR positive cases, 91/169 and 167/211 cases with oral manifestation were obtained in the first and second waves, respectively. We found 41 (24.26 %) in the first wave and 63 (29.85 %) in the second wave of patients with oral manifestations over the age of 50. Patients receiving oxygen or using a ventilator were found to be 15 (8.9 %) in the first wave and 59 (28%) in the second wave.
Conclusion: This is the first study to evaluate the correlation of oral infection with COVID 19 in different waves. This difference could be correlated with the virulence of viruses with mutated strains.
