A new amphibious species of the subterranean genus Bureschia Verhoeff, 1926 (Isopoda: Oniscidea: Trichoniscidae) from Serbia
Authors: Karaman Ivo , Horvatović Mladen 
Published: December 2022

Bureschia serbica sp. nov., is described from a cave in the Stara Planina Mt in Serbia as a second species in the genus. It is a troglobite amphibious species, predominantly aquatic like the nominal species of the genus, Bureschia bulgarica. The new species is adapted to amphibious life in running groundwater, unlike the nominal one that lives in subterranean lakes and ponds. Body structure changes, most noticeable the significant changes in the structure of the mouthparts, as a result of preadaptation in aquatic and amphibious Synocheta, are discussed.

Simplified Plotting of Nondimensional Propeller Parameters and its Application to a Propeller Series for High-Speed Small Craft
Authors: Hillman Harry F. 
Published: December 2022

The traditional Bp-6 method of plotting propeller series data is very general. For most of his work, the author has found that his interest is in the propeller of optimum diameter. A plotting method is presented that yields optimum diameter and pitch for a given set of conditions. Because this plotting is not as general, it is simpler in appearance and easier to use.
A discussion of the dimensionless parameters used in plotting propeller data is also included to help clarify some misunderstandings that the author has encountered in the use of these parameters.
Curves of a propeller series for use with high-speed small craft are used to illustrate the author's plotting method and to make this propeller data available to other designers of small craft. The method of plotting has led to mathematical relationships that can easily be programmed on a computer or programmable calculator to give diameter and pitch of the optimum propeller. The equations needed to prepare a program are given.
lnvestigation into Modeling and Measurement of Propeller Cavitation Source Strength at Blade Rate on Merchant Vessels
Authors: Gray Leslie M. 
Published: December 2022

The forces exerted on a ship's hull by propeller cavitation, modulated at blade rate, can be simply expressed as a function of the cavity volume velocity. Analytical models exist and are being refined that are used to predict this cavitation volume velocity for a given propeller in a given wake field. Very little data exist on how well these models work, primarily because of the difficulty in measuring cavity volumes on an operating propeller.
This paper reviews recent work, sponsored by the Naval Research Laboratory, that has investigated the correlation between analytical models of propeller cavitation and ·measured cavity volumes on both full- and model-scale propellers (stereo photography data). These comparisons demonstrate that accurate prediction of cavitation volume is extremely dependent on accurate knowledge of input variables, especially the propeller wake field. These comparisons also point out limitations in the accuracies of the existing models.
Results are presented of measurements of cavity volume velocities made by calibrating the ship vibration by using the principle of reciprocity. The accuracy of this reciprocal technique is demonstrated by a comparison of the results obtained with the acoustic pressures radiated by the cavity source. These measurements are analyzed for some of the time-varying characteristics of the cavitation. These results demonstrate that time-varying characteristics resulting from wake turbulence, rudder motion, ship motion, etc., introduce severe fluctuations in the source strength of propeller cavitation.
Prediction of Propeller Hydrodynamic Coefficients Using Unsteady Lifting Surface Theory
Authors: Vassilopoulos Lyssimachos , Triantafyllou Michael 
Published: December 2022

The prediction of axial, torsional and transverse shaft vibrations of propulsion shafts in the design stage requires accurate knowledge of the hydrodynamic coefficients that describe the propeller contribution to the inertial, damping and coupling effects in the entire system.
The objective of the paper will be to describe a novel numerical procedure for determining these coefficients using a computer program based on unsteady lifting surface theory. Given a description of the propeller geometry, the output of such a method consists of a set of 24 coefficients, eight for coupled axial-torsional vibrations and sixteen for coupled transverse vibrations.
A brief description will first be given of the origin of these coefficients for a propeller vibrating in an unbounded fluid at a prescribed frequency. The paper will then show how the M.I.T. unsteady lifting surface theory computer program was modified and extended in Order to automatically compute these coefficients. Example calculations are given for a controllable pitch propeller.
The axial added mass coefficient is then chosen for detailed comparisons between empirical formulae, tests and detailed calculations. A discussion is finally given of the influence of the various assumptions, the effect of variations of the significant problem parameters and the directions in which future work must proceed to further improve the predictive capability of the developed numerical procedure.
Tratamiento de los niveles lingüísticos en los manuales de español como lengua extranjera para niños y niñas
Authors: Navarro Carrascosa Carles 
Published: December 2022

La investigación que aquí se propone supone un análisis de los manuales de español para extranjeros de nivel inicial destinados a niños. El objeto del análisis será el tratamiento de los niveles lingüísticos (el fonético-fonológico, el morfosintáctico, el léxico-semántico y el pragmático) y se comparará la atención dedicada a cada nivel en un mismo manual y también entre todos los manuales estudiados. El propósito de este estudio será observar si los manuales le otorgan la misma importancia a los distintos niveles de lengua, si la comunicación tiene un papel tan relevante como el resto de niveles y el tipo de actividades que se presentan en cada uno de estos. Por tanto, para el presente artículo se ha diseñado una metodología basada en una ficha de análisis centrada en los cuatro niveles lingüísticos. Son cinco los manuales que se han estudiado: Uno, dos, tres… ¡Ya!, de la editorial enClave ELE; Superdrago, de SGEL; Colega, de Edelsa; Clan7 con ¡Hola, amigos!, de Edinumen; y Lola y Leo, publicado por la editorial Difusión. Las conclusiones obtenidas giran en torno a la presentación de los contenidos de cada nivel (si es explícita o implícita), la presencia de la comunicación en cada manual (para lo que se analizarán los actos de habla que se plantean para la instrucción) y la relevancia de los distintos niveles de lengua en los métodos de enseñanza.

Genetic Diversity and Evaluation of Assembled Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Germplasm for Breeding Purposes in Northern Ghana
Authors: Abebrese Samuel Oppong , Mustapha Sanatu Alidu , Alex Okyere Kumi 
Published: December 2022

Background of the Study: Rice (Oryza sativa L) is an important staple food crop that feed over half of the global population and it has become the cereal that provides a major source of calories for the urban and rural poor in Africa. Rice has is the second most important food staple after maize in Ghana and its consumption keeps increasing as a result of population growth, urbanization and change in consumer habits. Rice yield across Ghana is far below achievable yield. The need for increasing rice yield depends not only on cultural/traditional practices but also on their inbuilt genetic potential to withstand stresses. Adequate diverse rice germplasm is a pre-requisite for breeding varieties to meet local biotic, abiotic and grain quality challenges. Knowledge of germplasm diversity and genetic relationships among breeding materials is valuable information for crop improvement.
Aim: To identify the diversity among assembled rice germplasms for evaluation and possibly exploit its genetic variability for earliness for cultivation in the Guinea and Sudan Savanna ecologies.
Study Design: The experiment was conducted at CSIR-SARI research station, Nyanpkala. Using a Randomized Complete Block Design with two replications, and a plot size of 4 m x 3 m was used. Field data taken included 10 qualitative and 11 quantitative traits. The data were statistically analyzed for various descriptive statistics.
Results: Correlation analysis, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Cluster analysis were used to assess genetic variability. Most of the morphological traits showed remarkable differences in their distribution. Five significant principal components were identified accounting for 78.11% of the total variation. Cluster analysis based on the morphological data grouped the germplasm into two distinct clusters suggesting diversity among the assembled rice germplasms.
Conclusions: The rice germplasm used in the present study displayed variability for most of the studied traits with the exception of ligule. Twenty one out of the 100 germplasm were distant from the rest, and were selected to constitute a core collection for further improvement.
Recommendations: Diversity revealed in this study is narrow. It is, therefore, recommended that rice breeding programs in Ghana should include new genetically unrelated genotypes in order to broaden the genetic base of Ghanaian rice germplasm.

Published: December 2022

Aim: This study was carried out to analyze and evaluate the influence of viscosity on the antimicrobial activity of simple alcoholic-based hand sanitizer preparations.
Methods: The preparation of different viscosities of hand sanitizer was done by the introduction of carbomer to define its physicochemical stability. Two folds serial dilution of the test product using isopropyl alcohol and ethanol as alcohols and biocide efficiency to determine the antimicrobial activity using killing time assay were carried out.
Results: The pH was adjusted to 7.29 and 7.11 respectively, which shows the neutrality of the products. More so, the pH of the two test products proved to be good and hence, stable. In terms of viscosity, it decreased as the concentration decreased at 0.07% for most of the organisms which indicated good antimicrobial activity on the bacterial and fungi strain used. However, concentrations of isopropyl-formulated test product were more effective than the ethanol-based product on the bacterial strains, with Pseudomonas aeruginosa having the highest percentage of microbial death at 92.5%. Although, the ethanol-based products showed higher antimicrobial activity against fungi strains than the isopropyl test product.
Conclusion: Viscosity influences the activities of alcohol-based hand sanitizers since less viscous test product has a less concentration. Thus, more water denatures the proteins of the microorganism and limits the release of the active ingredient from the formulation. Sequel to this, viscosity enhancers like thickeners and gelling agents like carbomer should be used minimally in the formulation of these products.

Published: December 2022

Background: Transposition of the great arteries (TGA) is a congenital conotruncal malformation. Imaging has an essential role in evaluating TGA, both prior and post-surgery, aiding in defining the anatomy, quantifying hemodynamics, and assessing complications. This research evaluated the multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) role in TGA assessment in correlation with echocardiogram and correction either by catheterization or surgically.
Methods: This prospective trial was carried out on 20 cases with suspected or diagnosed cases of TGA and underwent MSCT heart angiography and great vessels for diagnosis confirmation, had limited or incomplete visualization of transposition of great arteries during echocardiography (echo) examination or underwent TGA operations and post-operative follow up. All patients were subjected to history taking from the parents, echo and MSCT.
Results: ECHO can significantly predict TGA (AUC= 0.856, P value <0.001) at cut off ≤6.6 with 79.95% sensitivity, 84.62% specificity, 88.2% PPV and 73.3% NPV. MSCT can significantly predict TGA (AUC= 0.877, P value <0.001) at cut off ≤0.16 with 89.47% sensitivity, 76.92% specificity, 85% PPV and 83.3% NPV. By comparing between ECHO and MSCT as predictors at the same time.
Conclusions: MSCT and transthoracic echocardiogram combination can provide effective and safe imaging for preoperative evaluation, but for post-operative assessment of surgically operated/ catheterized TGA cases, MSCT angiography is the method of choice.

Placental insufficiency is the failure of the placenta to supply nutrients to the fetus and remove toxic wastes; it is a common cause of intra uterine growth restriction (IUGR), fetal distress peri and postnatal mortality. Specifically gestational diabetes and hypertension during pregnancy alters placental architecture which contributes to insufficiency of the placenta. Placenta is the most accurate record of infant’s prenatal experiences. Clinical condition such as hypertension and diabetes that complicate pregnancy leads to significant structural changes in placenta, these histological changes and morphological alterations in placenta lead to insufficiency, resulting in IUGR and fetal distress. In the present study morphology of placentas collected from diabetic and hypertensive pregnancy will be observed, the histo-pathological findings will be recorded and correlated to birth weight, APGAR scores and congenital anomalies of babies and will be compared to the findings in normal placentas also. This study will be beneficial for obstetrician and pediatrician in gathering knowledge about patho genesis of placental insufficiency; it will add to the knowledge on placental morphology and will high light the abnormalities in placental anatomy.

Argemone mexicana L is one of the medicinal plants used traditionally for its curative properties. The observed activities could be due to the presence of phytochemicals present in the plant. The purpose of this study is to carry out the quantitative and qualitative analysis of the constituent phytochemicals of Ethanol and aqueous extracts of the leaves of the plant as well as determine its microbial activities against some selected bacteria and fungi. Results showed that alkaloid is present in both ethanol and aqueous samples. Terpenoid is present in aqueous sample but abundantly present in ethanol sample. Phenol is present in aqueous sample but abundantly present in ethanol sample. Steroids are present in ethanol sample but absent in aqueous sample. While anthraquinones are present in the aqueous sample, the quantity is not much compared with what was obtained from the ethanol sample. Cardiac glycoside is absent in both samples but flavonoid is present in both samples. It was observed that saponins and tannins were abundantly present in the ethanol extract but not much in the aqueous extract. The results of the quantitative analysis showed that for aqueous extract, alkaloid is 9.5 % w/w, flavonoid (0.36% w/w), saponin (4.7%w/w), tannin (0.1% w/w) terpenoid (0.45 w/w) and total phenol (0.65% w/w).

ImportanceRecent advances in treatment and prevention of HIV warrant updated recommendations to guide optimal practice.ObjectiveBased on a critical evaluation of new data, to provide clinicians with recommendations on use of antiretroviral drugs for the treatment and prevention of HIV, laboratory monitoring, care of people aging with HIV, substance use disorder and HIV, and new challenges in people with HIV, including COVID-19 and monkeypox virus infection.Evidence ReviewA panel of volunteer expert physician scientists were appointed to update the 2020 consensus recommendations. Relevant evidence in the literature (PubMed and Embase searches, which initially yielded 7891 unique citations, of which 834 were considered relevant) and studies presented at peer-reviewed scientific conferences between January 2020 and October 2022 were considered.FindingsInitiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) is recommended as soon as possible after diagnosis of HIV. Barriers to care should be addressed, including ensuring access to ART and adherence support. Integrase strand transfer inhibitor–containing regimens remain the mainstay of initial therapy. For people who have achieved viral suppression with a daily oral regimen, long-acting injectable therapy with cabotegravir plus rilpivirine given as infrequently as every 2 months is now an option. Weight gain and metabolic complications have been linked to certain antiretroviral medications; novel strategies to ameliorate these complications are needed. Management of comorbidities throughout the life span is increasingly important, because people with HIV are living longer and confronting the health challenges of aging. In addition, management of substance use disorder in people with HIV requires an evidence-based, integrated approach. Options for preexposure prophylaxis include oral medications (tenofovir disoproxil fumarate or tenofovir alafenamide plus emtricitabine) and, for the first time, a long-acting injectable agent, cabotegravir. Recent global health emergencies, like the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and monkeypox virus outbreak, continue to have a major effect on people with HIV and the delivery of services. To address these and other challenges, an equity-based approach is essential.Conclusions and RelevanceAdvances in treatment and prevention of HIV continue to improve outcomes, but challenges and opportunities remain.
