INTRODUCTION: There is lack of data on whether the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic was associated with changes in the etiology of pathosis in endodontic patients. The aim of this study was to determine the rate of cracks and other etiologic factors during the period of March 16th to May 31st in 2020 (COVID-19 initial outbreak) and 2021 (COVID-19 ongoing pandemic) compared with figures from the same period in 2019 (pre-COVID era) in 2 endodontists' practices. METHODS: The etiologies of patients' chief complaints were determined from records of 2440 teeth (740 in 2019, 651 in 2020, and 1049 in 2021). Changes in the proportion of etiologic factors among all 3 periods were analyzed. The association between the rate of cracked teeth and patients' age and sex was determined using a logistic regression model. RESULTS: The rates of all etiologies collectively during the studied periods showed a significant change (P < .0001). The rate of cracks significantly increased in 2020 (11.8%) (P = .0001) and 2021 (8%) (P = .0018) compared with 2019 (4.3%). The rate of persistent infections decreased in 2020 (22.3%) (P = .0013) and then increased in 2021 (27.5%) (P = .0153) compared with 2019 (30%). Cracked teeth were associated with the age group of 40-60 years (odds ratio [OR] = 1.882; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.063-3.330) in 2020 and with age ranges of 40-60 years (OR = 2.051; 95% CI, 1.120-3.759) and >60 years (OR = 2.038; 95% CI, 1.050-3.956) and male sex (OR = 1.599; 95% CI, 1.019-2.510) in 2021. CONCLUSIONS: The rate of cracked teeth increased during the initial outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and 1 year later. This study provided evidence on the association between the COVID-19 pandemic and changes in the rate and presentation of endodontic etiologic factors.

description: To examine the effect of acute and chronic exercise on adipose tissue GLUT4 expression, a total of 20 healthy, male subjects performed one of two studies. Ten subjects performed cycle ergometer exercise for 60 min at 73 ± 2% VO2 peak and abdominal adipose tissue samples were obtained immediately before and after exercise and after 3 h of recovery. Another 10 subjects completed 10 days of exercise training, comprising a combination of six sessions of 60 min at 75% VO2 peak and four sessions of 6 × 5 min at 90% VO2 peak, separated by 3 min at 40% VO2 peak. Abdominal adipose tissue and vastus lateralis muscle samples were obtained before training and 24 h after the last training session. A single bout of exercise did not change adipose tissue GLUT4 mRNA; however, there was a small, but significant, reduction in adipose tissue GLUT4 protein expression 3 h after exercise. There were no changes in adipose tissue GLUT4 or COX-IV expression following exercise training. In contrast, skeletal muscle GLUT4 and COX-IV were increased by 47% and 44%, respectively following exercise training. The exercise training-induced increase in GLUT4 expression was similar in both type I and type IIa single muscle fibers. Our results indicate that neither a single exercise bout, nor 10 days of exercise training, increased adipose tissue GLUT4, in contrast with the increases observed in skeletal muscle GLUT4 expression.

description: We investigated potential risk factors for visual prognosis in Japanese patients with exogenous endophthalmitis. In this retrospective observational multicenter cohort study, risk factors for legal blindness at 12 weeks after treatment initiation were evaluated based on patient characteristics, initial BCVA, causative events, pathogens, ocular symptoms, duration from symptom onset to initial treatment, and selected treatments. Overall, 23.1% of eyes developed legal blindness. The six risk factors for legal blindness were presence of eye pain, pathogen identification, poor BCVA at the initial visit, longer duration from symptom onset to initial treatment, type of causative event, and type of causative pathogen. Regarding the type of causative pathogen, coagulase-negative staphylococci was associated with a better visual impairment outcome. Exogenous endophthalmitis remains a severe ocular infection; however, it can be managed with rapid treatment, as well as other advances in medical knowledge and technology.

description: This study aimed to measure the knowledge and perceptions of medical, public health, and nursing students about climate change and its impacts, and to identify associations between the knowledge and perceptions. Data were from a nationwide cross-sectional survey of 1387 students sampled in five different regional universities in China (April–May 2017). The knowledge and perceptions of the participants were collected by self-administered questionnaires. We found that most respondents believed that climate change is generally “bad” (83%) and bad for human health (88%), while 67% believed that climate change is controllable. The vast majority of respondents acknowledged illness conditions resulting from poor air quality (95%), heat stress (93%), and extreme weather events (91%) as potential impacts of climate change. Nevertheless, only 39% recognized malnutrition as a consequence of food deprivation resulting from climate change. Around 58% of respondents could correctly identify the causes of climate change. The knowledge of the causes of climate change was not associated with the ability to recognize the health consequences of climate change. However, the knowledge of causes of climate change was a significant predictor of increased awareness of the negative impacts of climate change between the medical and nursing students, although this was not the case among their public health counterparts. Poor knowledge about the causes of climate change is evident among students in China. They are able to recognize the direct links between weather events and health, but less likely to understand the consequences involving complicated pathways. Research and training into the underlying mechanisms of health impacts of climate change needs to be strengthened.

description: Report Preface: This research report presents the results of a study of the economic feasibility of processing fruits and vegetables in the Albemarle Area of northeastern North Carolina. The study was conducted by the Economic Research Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture, as a result of a request for technical assistance made by the Edenton- Chowan Planning Board, Edenton, N. C., to the Economic Development Administration, U. S. Department of Commerce. The Economic Development Administration provided a substantial share of the costs of the study. Some of the important characteristics of the area and its resources are described in this report. Discussion of the product mix, procurement area for raw products, and size and location of plants--either freezing or canning--is included along with the criteria and other factors considered in making these selections. In the analysis of processing feasibility, both freezing and canning plants are evaluated. Input requirements and their costs are given for each type of plant. Annual operating costs and returns were determined for each plant based upon the processing season for products produced in the Albemarle Area. The report discusses problems associated with raw product procurement, methods of achieving market entry and its probable cost to a new firm, and other factors relevant to the success of a processing plant.
title: Neighborhood Defined Adaboost Based Mixture of Color Components for Efficient Skin Segmentation

description: A skin segmentation algorithm robust to illumination changes and skin-like backgrounds is developed in this thesis. So far skin pixel classification has been limited to only individual color spaces and there has not been a comprehensive evaluation of which color components or combination of color components would provide the best classification accuracy, Color components in a given color space form the feature set for the classification of skin pixels. The combination of the color components or the features present within a single color space may not be the best when it comes to skin pixel classification as the discriminatory power of these components to classify the skin pixels is not known. Also, the feature set has to be very small to make the skin segmentation process computationally inexpensive. The Adaboost algorithm has been successfully used for selection of a subset of features required from a given large feature set. Since the data available for skin and non-skin color pixels is large, it is presumed that an ensemble based technique would work better. In this thesis, Adaboost is used for the selection of a best possible subset of color components chosen from different color spaces for the classification of skin pixels and non-skin pixels. This pixel based classification is further improved by taking into account the color information of neighboring pixels. This procedure is motivated by the fact that the property of human skin in which color variations in a given region of human skin are smooth. An image enhancement technique as a preprocessing step is employed to improve the recognition accuracy in images captured in a low or non-uniform lighting environment. The proposed skin segmentation technique is evaluated in images with skin regions of various colors and textures. Its performance is compared with other state-of-the-art techniques and, observed that there is a considerable improvement in recognition accuracy, especially in it is reducing the false positives. Research work is progressing in using the skin segmentation in real life applications such as face detection, face tracking, and ethnicity identification for security purposes.

description: Feminist activism has played an important role in documenting, highlighting and challenging carceral violence against women within and beyond prison walls. Using the campaign against the punitive segregation of women in high-security men’s prisons in the 1980s and 1990s in Victoria, Australia, as a case study, we illustrate the value of the activist archive for critical prisons research. The activist archive has the potential to expose continuities in carceral violence, highlight the limitations and potentialities of legal and official oversight processes, and debunk official rhetoric of the prison’s reformative and rehabilitative potential. Our discussion demonstrates the extent to which the activist archive can yield a powerful arsenal of accounts, critiques and organising strategies for anti-carceral feminist movements.

description: This paper uses a seven variable structured VAR (SVAR) to analyze the Mexican economy. The data is monthly data from January 1995 to April 2021, and we are using the Kim and Roubini specification as well as a Taylor Rule like specification for the Short Term Interest Rate equation. Furthermore, we restrict oil prices and exchange rate to see if there are any puzzles that are commonly discussed in the literature. Lastly, we set out to see if foreign monetary shocks affect domestic variables as well as which policy instrument plays a significant role in explaining the movement in the economics activities in Mexico. With that in mind we will use impulse response function and variance decomposition to analyze the relationship of the variables. Our empirical findings show that foreign shock do affect the domestic variables and that best domestic monetary policy variable that explains the movements in the Mexican economy is the short term interest rate.

description: In México, population growth and government policies have contributed to the vulnerability of the communities in terms of gaining access to foods and adequate diets. The objective of this study was to analyze the agrobiodiversity and management of the family backyard, and to determine its contribution to food security in the locality of Bandera de Juárez, Veracruz, México. The management and agrobiodiversity were determined through semi-structured interviews and the dietary pattern of the community through the PESA-FAO survey. Seventy-five (75) plant species in ten categories of use were found, with a dietary pattern based on maize (Zea mays) as principal food and products from the family vegetable garden. More than 50 % of the plants reported as edible are consumed, which contribute 4 % of the total energy of the diet, concluding that, although there are deficits in protein intake, the relationship between the family gardens and the diet is very valuable to the families in rural areas.

description: Parent offspring analysis already revealed genetic relationships for Blauer Portugieser and Blaufränkisch, sharing at each locus one allele with Grüner Silvaner and Weisser Heunisch, respectively. The missing second progenitor of Blauer Portugieser and Blaufränkisch is a recently rediscovered black grapevine, called Schwarze Zimmettraube. It was found in the largest German wine growing area Rheinhessen. The same cultivar was detected as a single vine in Friuli, Italy and named Sbulzìna. The Schwarze Zimmettraube, bearing female flowers, and thus the female parent in the crosses, was cultivated in the 19th century in Lower Styria together with Grüner Silvaner and Weisser Heunisch. Because the Schwarze Zimmettraube did not exist in Austria and red wine production was fairly rare in that country before 1800, it is suspected that the cradle of Blauer Portugieser and Blaufränkisch is in Lower Styria. Furthermore, according to chlorotype analysis, it turned out that Blauer Gänsfüsser is the male parent of Schwarze Zimmettraube and thus the Schwarze Zimmettraube represents a veritable “missing link”. To prove the genetic relationships the nine GrapeGen06-markers and additional forty microsatellite markers were applied. To investigate on the geographical origin of Blauer Portugieser and Blaufränkisch historical Austrian and Styrian references were consulted.

description: Objective: Continuing stigma towards mental health problems means that many individuals - especially men - will first present in crisis, with emergency services often the first point of call. Given this situation, the aims of this paper were to assess paramedics' ability to recognise, and their attitudes towards, males with clinically defined depression and psychosis with and without comorbid alcohol and other drug (AOD) problems. Methods: A cross-sectional national online survey of 1230 paramedics throughout Australia. The survey was based on four vignettes: depression with suicidal thoughts, depression with suicidal thoughts and comorbid alcohol problems, and psychosis with and without comorbid AOD problems. Results: Just under half of respondents recognised depression, but this decreased markedly to one-fifth when comorbid AOD problems were added to the vignette. In contrast, almost 90% recognised psychosis, but this decreased to just under 60% when comorbid AOD problems were added. Respondents were more likely to hold stigmatising attitudes towards people in the vignettes with depression and psychosis when comorbid AOD problems were present. Respondents endorsed questionnaire items assessing perceived social stigma more strongly than personal stigma. Desire for social distance was greater in vignettes focusing on psychosis with and without comorbid AOD problems than depression with and without comorbid AOD problems. Conclusions: Paramedics need a well-crafted multicomponent response which involves cultural change within their organisations and more education to improve their recognition of, and attitudes towards, clients with mental health and AOD problems. Education should focus on the recognition and care of people with specific mental disorders rather than on mental disorders in general. It is essential that education also focuses on understanding and caring for people with AOD problems. Educational interventions should focus on aligning beliefs about public perceptions with personal beliefs about people with mental disorders and AOD problems.

description: Aim: This study aimed to assess the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) and its determinants. Methods A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted on 300 newly diagnosed patients with CRC in China's Heilongjiang province, measuring HRQoL using the EuroQol five-dimension five-level (EQ-5D-5L). Kruskal-Wallis analyses were performed to identify the independent variables associated with the EQ-5D-5L utility scores. Predictors of the utility scores were confirmed using a Tobit regression model. Results: The respondents had a mean EQ-5D-5L utility score of 0.617 (SD=0.371) and a median of 0.740 (range:-0.348 to 1.000). Pain/discomfort and anxiety/ depression were major concerns of the respondents, with a prevalence of over 60% (all levels inclusive). The Kruskal-Wallis analyses found lower utility scores in those who were not married, worked as a farmer, enrolled with the new rural cooperative medical scheme and had lower household income (p<0.05). Those who were at a later stage of CRC, underwent surgical only therapy and had a stoma also had lower EQ-5D-5L scores than others (p<0.05). The Tobit regression model confirmed these predictors, except for occupation and marital status. Conclusion: Patients with CRC have poor HRQoL, with pain/discomfort and depression/anxiety as the most frequently reported problems. The poor HRQoL is associated with the seriousness of the disease condition, as well as the low socioeconomic status of the patients.

description: Five kilometers west of the East Coast Road in Chengalpattu District, Chittamur Union, Seyyur Circle, lies the beautiful village of Vedal. There is a Shiva temple here. The base of the Shiva temple here looks like a model structure built in stone during the Pallavar period. The Vedal Shiva Temple is majestic, with features of early Chola and Dravidian architecture. The temple was built by Rajaraja Chola and maintained by Rajendra Chola. The special feature of this temple is Vimana. The vimana of the temple is built of bricks. Vedal Shiva Temple is built following all aspects of Dravidian architecture. This temple is built following the design of the Dhongana Mata temple. In Thondai Mandal, when the Pallavas ruled, the temple designed and built by them is the Tungani Matakoil structure. These are the methods of temple construction followed from the Sangam period. Corresponding literary evidence for this is to be found in the Sangam literature. Dravidian architecture is an art developed by the Pallavas and cultivated by the Cholas. The evolution of Dravidian architecture was followed by the Vijayanagara kings and Nayaks and reached a high level. The layout of temples built in India, especially in Tamil Nadu, was different from the layout of temples built in other regions. Historians call this style an evolution of Dravidian architecture. Dhonganai Matak Temple is found in Thondai Mandal, Pallavaram, Trishulam, Tiruvettiyur, etc. The construction structure of Thuganani Matak Koil is also found in areas like Thirukkalugunram. The purpose of this article is to describe the architectural special features of the Dormanai Matakkovil of the Shiva Temple located at Vedal.

description: Background: Paramedics are called on frequently to provide care to patients with mental health and/or and alcohol and other drug (AOD) problems, but may have mixed views about how this fits within their role. Aims: To explore paramedics' experience of caring for patients with non-medical emergencyrelated mental health and/or AOD problems, understand their perceptions of their scope of practice in caring for these patients, and ascertain if their practice should be extended to incorporate education with these patients. Method: A convenience sample of 73 paramedics from most Australian states and territories-recruited through an online survey-participated in individual audio-recorded, qualitative interviews, conducted by telephone. The interviews were part of a mixed method study comprising qualitative interviews and online survey. A Framework Method of analysis to analyse the qualitative data. Results: Three themes and sub-themes were abstracted from the data about participants' experiences and, at times, opposing viewpoints about caring for patients with non-medical emergency-related mental health and/or AOD problems: Caring for these patients is a routine part of paramedics' work, contrasting perspectives about scope of practice in caring for this group of patients, competing perspectives about extending scope of practice to incorporate education with this cohort of patients. Conclusions: Paramedics need more undergraduate and in-service education about the care of patients with mental health and/or AOD problems, and to address concerns about extending their scope of practice to include education with these patients. Thought should be given to introducing alternative models of paramedic practice, such as community paramedicine, with a focus on supporting people in the community with mental health and/or AOD problems. There is a need for a change in workplace and organisational culture about scope of practice in caring for patients with these problems. Extending paramedics' role could, potentially, benefit people with these problems by improving the quality of care, reducing the need for transportation to emergency departments, and decreasing clinicians' workloads in these departments.

description: Michael ‘Big Mick’ O’Grady was a notorious character in Melbourne’s early days. He was both a criminal and a constable, and at one point considered entering politics. His misdemeanours were celebrated in the newspapers of the day; however, since his death, his story has been lost to history. I intend to resurrect this figure so that modern audiences can appreciate the combination of criminality and larrikinism that helped to build the character of our city and nation.

description:
We present a general framework for developing a machine learning (ML) tool that supports clinician assessment of patient risk using electronic health record-derived real-world data and apply the framework to a quality improvement use case in an oncology setting to identify patients at risk for a near-term (60 day) emergency department (ED) visit who could potentially be eligible for a home-based acute care program. Framework steps include defining clinical quality improvement goals, model development and validation, bias assessment, retrospective and prospective validation, and deployment in clinical workflow. In the retrospective analysis for the use case, 8% of patient encounters were associated with a high risk (pre-defined as predicted probability ≥20%) for a near-term ED visit by the patient. Positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) for future ED events was 26% and 91%, respectively. Odds ratio (OR) of ED visit (high- vs. low-risk) was 3.5 (95% CI: 3.4–3.5). The model appeared to be calibrated across racial, gender, and ethnic groups. In the prospective analysis, 10% of patients were classified as high risk, 76% of whom were confirmed by clinicians as eligible for home-based acute care. PPV and NPV for future ED events was 22% and 95%, respectively. OR of ED visit (high- vs. low-risk) was 5.4 (95% CI: 2.6–11.0). The proposed framework for an ML-based tool that supports clinician assessment of patient risk is a stepwise development approach; we successfully applied the framework to an ED visit risk prediction use case.

description: U. S. corn oil production has doubled in the past 15 years, rising from 223 million pounds in 1951-52 to a record 460 million anticipated in 1965-66. The steady growth in wet-process grindings of corn for starch has resulted in increased output of by-product corn oil. Domestic use of corn oil continues mainly as a salad and cooking oil. But since 1958, margarine manufacture as an outlet has expanded sharply and now accounts for over one-third the total domestic use of corn oil.

description: Performing arts used as a method of spreading health information dates back to the origins of storytelling. However, interventions in developing, non-Western countries typically utilize Western entertainment forms. This qualitative investigation assesses responses to an intervention designed around traditional Javanese shadow puppetry (wayang kulit). Semi-structured interviews provided in-depth responses from a sample (N = 12) of villagers. Responses analyzed both cross-case and within-case, focused on perceptions of the music and storyline, responses to the intervention, and the perceived appropriateness of wayang kulit for disseminating a health message. Wayang kulit was considered to be interesting and easy to remember, but concerns remained regarding the reliability of information provided through the drama. The fusion of traditional and modern music and story elements were perceived positively. Some participants were inspired to improve their hygiene practices, although the lack of motivation, or belief that they were unable to change was noted. The performance was generally received positively in terms of the nature of the intervention, the fusion of traditional and Western music and story elements, as well as the use of wayang kulit to spread health information. The study provides guidance for modifications to the production, prior to scaling up.
