Opis:
The dissolved oxygen content in surface waters is one of the vital indicators for human water quality usage as well as the aquatic plant and animal environmental life sustainability. Parshall flumes are one of the important ejector devices that are successfully used for oxygen requirement satisfying in various irrigation, wastewater, and ecosystems. However, the present study aimed to manage and improve various waterworks aeration efficiency through integrated modeling of experimental and analytical analysis as well as their operation conditional parameters for the Parshall flumes configuration. On the basis of the experiment work data sets run results, the principal component regression (PCR), partial least squares (PLS), and ridge regression (RR) techniques are used to develop the required aeration efficiency prediction models for such aerators by interrelating the impact of Parshall flumes characteristics and configurations, as well as various water flow rates on aeration efficiency. The predictive models developed in the study were statistically compared to the experimental data. The comparison confirms a good reliability and high accuracy. Considering the proposed aeration models, the optimum design of the new Parshall flumes can be successfully facilitated.

Opis:
Aim/purpose – Though psychological capital has become a hot topic in the recent years, scholars have given little attention to its antecedents. This study used the job characteristics model (Hackman & Oldham, 1975) as a framework to examine the relationship between the five job characteristics and the four components of psychological capital. Moreover, task performance is examined as an outcome of psychological capital. Design/methodology/approach – Using structural equation modelling, data were obtained from Egyptian professionals (N = 251). The survey included measures of psychological capital and job characteristics as well as task performance, which was rated by employees’ supervisors. Findings – Results indicate that the five job characteristics of skill variety, task significance, job feedback, job identity and job autonomy are positively related to the four components of psychological capital. Moreover, hope, self-efficacy and resilience were positively related to task performance. However, Egyptian employees’ optimism was not found to be related to task performance. Research implications/limitations – Results contribute to a better understanding of what enhances psychological capital in the workplace. Originality/value/contribution – The current study is the first to integrate the theory of work design with the psychological capacities of hope, optimism, resilience and self- -efficacy. Research on the development of psychological capital has been limited to interventions with little or no attention given to macro or organisational factors that could contribute to its enhancement. Moreover, it is the first to link psychological capital to job performance in an Arab country.

Opis:
Background: Ultrasonography is widely utilized by emergency physicians and radiologists to diagnose various orthopaedic diseases, including fractures. We aim to derive a definitive estimate of the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography in clinically suspected scaphoid fractures. Methods: We undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis of included diagnostic cohort studies that discussed the use of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of occult scaphoid fractures. We searched the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence database using the Healthcare Databases Advanced Search tool. In addition, we utilized the PubMed database to search the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Excerpta Medica database, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health and Allied and Complimentary Medicine databases. Studies were included if they discuss the role of ultrasound imaging in the diagnosis of scaphoid fractures based on cortical interruption, radio-carpal effusion and scapho-trapezium-trapezoid effusion. Quality assessment was performed using the methodological index for non-randomized studies scoring system. Results: 6 non-randomized control studies met the inclusion criteria. Collectively, these included 236 patients with a mean age ranging from 18 to 41.2 years. The quality of these articles ranged between moderate and high based on the methodological index for nonrandomized studies score. The mean sensitivity was 88.95% (standard deviation 10.03) and mean specificity was 89.50% (standard deviation 12.21). Conclusion: The current literature reveals high sensitivity and specificity in the use of ultrasonography in scaphoid fracture diagnosis. However, multiple factors including technical differences in ultrasound machines and probes, small sample sizes and variability of subsequent confirmatory tests have created a challenge in determining the ultimate reliability of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of occult scaphoid fractures. Considering these factors and limitations, large-sample and high-quality clinical trials are needed to adequately assess its reliability for this purpose. One stop clinics, in the authors’ opinion, would be an ideal setting for its introduction as well as for future trials.
Wprowadzenie: Ultrasonografia jest szeroko wykorzystywana w medycynie ratunkowej i radiologii do diagnozowania różnych schorzeń narządu ruchu, w tym złamań. Celem pracy jest jednoznaczne ustalenie stopnia dokładności badania ultrasonograficznego w przypadku klinicznego podejrzenia złamania kości łódeczkowatej. Metody: W pracy podjęto się przeglądu systematycznego i metaanalizy wybranych badań kohortowych, które dotyczą wykorzystania ultrasonografii w rozpoznawaniu utajonych złamań kości łódeczkowatej. Przeszukano bazę National Institute for Health and Care Excellence z wykorzystaniem narzędzia wyszukiwania Healthcare Databases Advanced Search. Wykorzystano również bazę PubMed do przeszukania baz danych Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Excerpta Medica, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health oraz Allied and Complimentary Medicine Database. Do analizy włączano te badania, które dotyczą roli badania ultrasonograficznego w rozpoznawaniu złamań kości łódeczkowatej na podstawie przerwania ciągłości istoty zbitej, wysięku w stawie promieniowo-nadgarstkowym oraz wysięku w stawie łódeczkowato-czworobocznym. Oceny jakości analizowanych prac dokonywano na bazie klasyfikacji punktowej badań nierandomizowanych. Wyniki: Kryteria włączenia spełniło 6 badań porównawczych bez randomizacji. Badania te obejmowały łącznie 236 pacjentów o średniej wieku od 18 lat do 41,2 roku. Jakość artykułów wahała się pomiędzy średnią a wysoką na podstawie wyniku w klasyfikacji punktowej badań nierandomizowanych. Średnia czułość badania w analizowanych pracach wynosiła 88,95% (odchylenie standardowe: 10,03), a średnia swoistość 89,50% (odchylenie standardowe: 12,21). Wnioski: Najnowsze doniesienia literaturowe mówią o wysokiej czułości i swoistości badania ultrasonograficznego w rozpoznawaniu złamania kości łódeczkowatej. Ustalenie wiarygodności badania ultrasonograficznego w rozpoznawaniu utajonych złamań kości łódeczkowatej jest jednak trudne ze względu na liczne czynniki, takie jak różnice techniczne pomiędzy stosowanymi aparatami i głowicami ultrasonograficznymi, niska liczebność badanych prób oraz różnice w typie badania stosowanego do potwierdzenia rozpoznania. Ze względu na te czynniki i ograniczenia do właściwej oceny wiarygodności badania ultrasonograficznego stosowanego do omawianego celu potrzebne są badania kliniczne wysokiej jakości. Według autorów ośrodki kompleksowej diagnostyki typu „one stop clinic” byłyby idealnym miejscem na wprowadzenie badań ultrasonograficznych do diagnostyki złamań kości łódeczkowatej oraz na prowadzenie badań klinicznych w przyszłości.

Purpose: This review aims to determine whether ultrasound-guided platelet-rich plasma injection has any role in improving clinical outcomes in patients with hip osteoarthritis. Methods: A search of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence database using the Healthcare Databases Advanced Search tool was conducted. The PubMed database was also utilised to search the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Excerpta Medica database, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health and Allied and Complimentary Medicine databases. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis methodology guidance was employed and a quality assessment was performed using the Jadad score. Results: Three randomised clinical trials met the inclusion criteria and were included for analysis. All three trials were of good quality based on the Jadad score. A total of 115 patients out of 254 received platelet-rich plasma injections under ultrasound guidance. The platelet-rich plasma recipient group included 61 males and 54 females with an age range from 53 to 71 years. Outcome scores show an improvement of symptoms and function maintained up to 12 months following platelet-rich plasma injection. Conclusions: Literature to date concludes that intra-articular platelet-rich plasma injections of the hip, performed under ultrasound guidance to treat hip osteoarthritis, are well tolerated and potentially efficacious in delivering long-term and clinically significant pain reduction and functional improvement in patients with hip osteoarthritis. Larger future trials including a placebo group are required to further evaluate these promising results. Level of evidence: Level I, a systematic review of level I studies.
Cel: Celem przeglądu jest ustalenie, czy iniekcja osocza bogatopłytkowego pod kontrolą ultrasonograficzną przyczynia się do poprawy wyników klinicznych u pacjentów z chorobą zwyrodnieniową stawu biodrowego. Metody: Przeszukano bazę danych National Institute for Health and Care Excellence przy użyciu narzędzia Healthcare Databases Advanced Search. Wykorzystując bazę danych PubMed, przeszukano również: Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Excerpta Medica, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature oraz Allied and Complementary Medicine Database. Zastosowano metodologię zgodną z deklaracją Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis, a ocenę jakości badań przeprowadzono przy wykorzystaniu skali Jadada. Wyniki: Trzy randomizowane badania kliniczne spełniły kryteria włączenia do przeglądu i zostały uwzględnione w analizie. Na podstawie wyników w skali Jadada stwierdzono, że wszystkie trzy badania odznaczały się wysoką jakością. Łącznie 115 spośród 254 uczestniczących w badaniach pacjentów otrzymało iniekcje z osocza bogatopłytkowego pod kontrolą ultrasonograficzną. Grupa osób leczonych osoczem bogatopłytkowym liczyła 61 mężczyzn i 54 kobiety w przedziale wiekowym od 53 do 71 lat. Wyniki oceny wskazują na zmniejszenie nasilenia objawów i poprawę stanu czynnościowego stawu, które utrzymywały się do 12 miesięcy od iniekcji osocza bogatopłytkowego. Wnioski: Jak wskazuje dostępne piśmiennictwo, iniekcje osocza bogatopłytkowego podawane dostawowo pod kontrolą ultrasonograficzną w leczeniu choroby zwyrodnieniowej stawu biodrowego są dobrze tolerowane i potencjalnie skuteczne pod względem długotrwałego i istotnego klinicznie ograniczania dolegliwości bólowych i poprawy stanu czynnościowego stawu. W celu bardziej szczegółowej oceny tych obiecujących wyników niezbędne są zakrojone na większą skalę badania z uwzględnieniem grupy placebo. Poziom dowodów: Poziom I, systematyczny przegląd badań poziomu I.

Introduction and aim. Industrialization and elevated greenhouse gas emissions pose significant threats to the environment, raising atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and leading to climate change. Climate change may impact human health either directly via increasing extreme weather frequency and altering disease patterns or indirectly via social institutions and disrupted global supply chain resulting in consequences like undernutrition. Material and methods. This review conducted a comprehensive literature search on PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library, from inception to September 2022, using relevant keywords. Analysis of the literature. Massive flooding in South Asia is leading to a surge in water-related diseases. Cholera outbreaks have occurred in countries like Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh following floods, and waterborne diseases like typhoid, rotavirus, hepatitis A, and leptospirosis are prevalent in flood-affected regions. Additionally, Cryptosporidium, Campylobacter, Shigella, and Polio outbreaks are reported. Water-scarce diseases, including scabies, impetigo, and cellulitis, are also on the rise in flood-affected areas. Water-based diseases, such as dracunculiasis, schistosomiasis, and Leishmaniasis, pose significant risks. Vector-borne diseases, including malaria, dengue, and Leishmaniasis, are becoming more prevalent due to flooded areas providing breeding grounds for disease vectors like mosquitoes and sandflies. These diseases are now more common in flood-affected regions, affecting millions of people. Conclusion. Urgent measures are needed, including early warning systems, resilient infrastructure, drainage maintenance, and stricter land-use regulations, to reduce the impact of these natural disasters. International cooperation and immediate action at national and global levels are essential to mitigate the health crises caused by flooding and other natural disasters.

Opis:
The column is one of the most significant structural elements, which is designed to support mainly the compressive load. Strengthening of existing reinforced concrete columns is required to enhance ductility and increase load capacity to sustain the overload as sometimes there may be a change in use. Ten rectangular concrete columns were constructed and tested. H/b ratio was kept constant and equals 6 for all columns. The aim of this work is to study the behaviour and efficiency of RC columns strengthened with steel jackets subjected to axial load. An experimental study of the behaviour of ten strengthened concrete columns with slenderness ratio (H/b) equals 6 was carried out. Variables such as aspect ratio (t/b), the volume of steel batten plates, and spacing of steel batten plates at centres (S) were considered. The results showed that using this method of strengthening is very effective and an increase in the axial load capacity of the strengthened columns is obtained.

Opis:
The loss of soil quality due to erosion is a global problem, particularly affecting natural resources and agricultural production in Algeria. In this study, the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) is applied to estimate the risk of water erosion in the Ain Sefra arid watershed (Algeria). The coupling of this equation with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) allows to assess and map the soil loss rates. The land erosion is influenced by many control variables, such as the topographic factor of the terrain and the length of slope (LS factor), rainfall erosivity (R factor), sensitivity of soil to erosion (K factor), presence of vegetation (C factor) and the antierosion cultivation techniques (P factor). To calculate the average annual soil loss, these five factors were considered and multiplied in the RUSLE Equation. The result shows that the average rate of soil loss is estimated at about 5.2 t·ha–1·y–1 over the whole watershed. This study is the first of its kind in the region and aims to assess the soil loss caused by water erosion processes in this arid zone. Consequently, it is essential to take real intervention measures in these upstream areas in order to combat this scourge, based on priorities ensuring the sustainable management of natural resources in the study area.

Opis:
The purpose of the present study is to investigate the performance of an upgraded oxidation ditch (OD) system, which was designed and implemented to solve the problem of sludge accumulation at the bottom as well as to get the best removal efficiency of total nitrogen (TN). The upgrading concept is based on dividing the operating volume of the upgraded OD to achieve interchanging between aerobic and anoxic circumstances in order to provide simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND). The obtained results indicated that the average TN removal efficiency was 60%, which could be obtained due to a highly efficient SND approach. In addition, the better TN removal efficiency corresponds to the lower sludge volume index (SVI), which reflects the efficiency of the upgraded OD in preventing the accumulation of sludge at the bottom. Effluent ammonium-nitrogen (NH4+-N) and nitrate (NO3--N) concentrations corresponding to a minimum SVI of 41.9 mL/g were 8.6 mg/L for NH4+-N and 8.6 mg/L for NO3--N, respectively. Furthermore, the upgraded OD successfully removes 5-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and total suspended solids (TSS) below the permissible limit for final effluent of 60, 80, and 50 mg/L respectively.

The wastewater quality index (WWQI) can be defined as a single value, which reflects the overall wastewater quality related to its input constituent parameters. The major objective of the present study was to investigate the suitability of the effluent quality from Meet Abo El-koum wastewater treatment plant in Egypt for safe disposal based on the wastewater quality index approach. Moreover, statistical analysis was applied to develop a simple model using multiple linear regression (MLR) for accurate prediction of WWQI depending on different wastewater quality parameters. The results indicate good quality of the treated wastewater for safe disposal in general. Moreover, it is apparent that about 17% of the WWQI values reached excellent quality referring to the classification of the WWQI levels. For greater simplicity, a relationship between BOD5 and COD was deduced using linear regression, so that the results of the BOD5 analyses that appear after five days can be skipped. This approximation can be used to calculate WWQI on a specific day given the results of the treated wastewater analyses on that day.

Opis:
The tree pods and seeds of Cassia fistula (CF) and Delonix regia (DR) were collected from the Faculty of Agriculture garden at Al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt, during the spring season of 2019. The physical and chemical aspects of pods and seeds were examined. The percentage of oil and fatty acid compositions were then investigated. The pod weights ranged from 61.34 g in DR to 89.29 g in CF, with pod lengths ranged from 42.26 cm (DR) to 62.64 cm (CF). InCassia fistula, the seed weight per pod, the number of seeds per pod, and the weight of 100 seeds per pod were 12.29 g, 84, and 17.22 g, respectively; whereas in Delonix regia, they were 11.31 g, 23.5, and 34.25 g. The C. fistula had high levels of chlorophyll a and b, as well as total chlorophyll (1.016, 1.025, and 2.041 mg $g^{-1}$ DW), while D. regia recorded the lowest levels (0.513, 0.228, 0.741 mg $g^{-1}$ DW). The results also showed that the C. fistula leaves were also heavier than the D. regia leaves, weighing 14.96 g and 5.02 g fresh and dry weight for C. fistula and 10.06 g and 3.87 g fresh and dry weight for D. regia, respectively. The seeds of both plants were chemically tested, with percentages of Lipid, Moisture, Protein, Ash, Fibers, and Total Carbohydrates of 2.11, 10.79, 17.10, 4.95, 5.51, and 59.53 percent for Cassia fistula and 2.13, 6.52, 18.75, 0.37, 13.28, and 58.95 percent for Delonix regia, respectively. Eleven fatty acids were found in both plants seeds oil (lauric, myristic, palmitic, palmitoleic, stearic, oleic, eliadic, linoleic, linolenic, gondoic, and behenic acid). A slight variation was noted in linoleic acid, which was the major component of both oils ranging from 52.17 (CF) to 54.77% (DR). The prediction of the iodine values resulted in 97.6 and 98.8 for Cassia fistula and Delonix regia, respectively, which is a promising model for the production of biodiesel in the future.

Opis:
A field experiment was carried out at the Experimental Farm of SEKEM Company in Bilbes, Sharqia Governorate, Egypt during the 2019 season, in order to study the effect of adding compost tea and humic acid on the growth and active ingredient of the chive (Allium schoenoprasum L.) plant. Chive seeds were sown in nursery in August, two months later seedlings were transplanted to permanent soil. The chive plants received two organic fertilizers: the first one was compost tea (0, 100 and 200 ml/L) as main plot, and the second one was humic acid (0, 2 and 4 g/L) as sub plot. The two fertilizers were sprayed twice, 45 and 75 days after sowing. The results revealed that: the applied compost tea significantly increased the growth and yield characteristics as well as oil percentage and yield, compared with untreated plants. The plants treated with compost tea at 200 ml / L produced the maximum mean values of plant height, fresh and dry weights of herb, as well as essential oil yield. However, humic acid at 4 g /L recorded the highest mean values of plant height, fresh and dry weights of herb. On the other hand, humic acid at 2 g/L gave the highest values of essential oil yield. Moreover, the interaction treatments had a significant effect on all traits under study. Thirty compounds of Chive essential oil (EO) were identified by GC-MS analysis, representing from 65.07 to 93.29% of the total EO. The main compounds found were dipropyl disulfide (12.8–35.4%), dipropyl trisulfide (12.9–30.05%), methyl propyl trisulfide (3.80–9.03%) and 1-propenyl propyl disulfide (1.56–10%). The highest amounts of dipropyl disulfide and 1-propenyl propyl disulfide were detected with humic acid at 4 g/L treatment. The treatment of compost tea at 200 ml/L + humic acid at 2 g/L caused the greatest accumulation of dipropyl trisulfide which recorded 30.05%, while the greatest values of methyl propyl trisulfide (9.03%) were recorded as a result of tea compost at 100 ml/L.

Opis:
On-chip optical-interconnect technology emerges as an attractive approach due to its ultra-large bandwidth and ultra-low power consumption. Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wire waveguides, on the other hand, have been identified to potentially replace copper wires for intra-chip communication. To take advantage of the wide bandwidth of SOI waveguides, wavelengthdivision multiplexing (WDM) has been implemented. However, WDM have inherent drawbacks. Mode-division multiplexing (MDM) is a viable alternative to WDM in MIMO photonic circuits on SOI as it requires only one carrier wavelength to operate. In this vein, mode converters are key components in on-chip MDM systems. The goal of this paper is to introduce a transverse electric mode converter. The suggested device can convert fundamental transverse electric modes to first-order transverse electric ones and vice versa. It is based on small material perturbation which introduces gradual coupling between different modes. This device is very simple and highly compact; the size of which is 3 μm². Mathematical expressions for both the insertion loss and crosstalk are derived and optimized for best performance. In addition, three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (3D-FDTD) simulations are performed in order to verify the mathematical model of the device. Our numerical results reveal that the proposed device has an insertion loss of 1.2 dB and a crosstalk of 10.1 dB. The device’s insertion loss can be decreased to 0.95 dB by adding tapers to its material perturbation.
