Satpuraphyllum furcatum—a new genus and species of Peltaspermales foliage from the mid-Permian Barakar Formation of India

Satpuraphyllum furcatum gen. et sp. nov. is introduced to accommodate once- to twice-forked leaves with slender entire-margined segments containing a midrib that gives off very acute, freely dichotomizing, secondary veins. The leaves are amphistomatic, bearing incompletely monocyclic to amphicyclic stomata and diverse trichomes, papillae, and sparse multicellular low domal glands. These collective characters favour assignment to Peltaspermales and this is supported by co-preservation, in the same beds, of leaves with shield-shaped bracts bearing marginal seed scars. Satpuraphyllum furcatum is documented from the upper Barakar Formation (Kungurian) of central India and is the oldest known peltasperm from the core regions of Gondwana. Its presence in the Satpura Basin at that time signifies an early penetration of Peltaspermales into the Southern Hemisphere, possibly during the Artinskian–Kungurian Warming Event (initiating ca 287 Ma).

Analysis of Factors Influencing Traffic Sign Recognition Based on Multi-Sensor Perception Data

When traffic signs are blocked or faded, the ability of automated vehicles (AVs) to perceive and recognize them is lost or reduced. Previous research has improved and optimized the recognition algorithm but has not systematically analyzed the environmental and design factors that can lead to the AV’s failure to perceive and recognize traffic signs. This study uses the multiple sensors in the equipped vehicles of the Tongji University Road and Traffic Holographic Data Acquisition System to perceive and recognize traffic signs in six crash hotspots in Shanghai, China. Failure to recognize traffic signs was analyzed considering the influence of four sets of factors: traffic sign design, vehicle characteristics, environmental factors, and road design. A feature importance analysis was conducted utilizing the machine learning algorithm model CatBoost. Shapley additive explanation values were used to analyze the positive and negative relationships as well as the contribution rates of each influencing factor. The results revealed that the major factors influencing sign perception and recognition were positioning of traffic sign, lighting, blockage, cleanliness, fading, and reflectivity. Cleanliness had the most significant impact on the perception and recognition of traffic signs compared with the other influencing factors, and it also showed significant influencing interaction with the other factors. Fading was the second most important factor. The results of this study can guide designers of traffic signs to promote safety in mixed traffic environments that include both AVs and human-driven vehicles.

GPR investigation of the cause of persistent failure of a university road

We present the results of a multi-frequency ground-penetrating radar (GPR) survey over a university road in south-western Nigeria that has experienced persistent failures. The goal was to evaluate causes of failure to aid remediation efforts. Data was collected concurrently at 250, 500, and 1000 MHz using a UTSI electronic trivue system. Data were processed and interpreted using Reflex-Win. Visual observations of major features apparent on the road surface including failed sections were noted. Imaged features included possible bases of the surface course, base course and sub-base, subsurface projections of an outcropping and buried basement rocks, three deeply cut and back-filled sections that lie beneath sections of the road that have experienced persistent failure, and the ringing effects and rebar-associated reflection hyperbolae of two reinforced concrete drains. Indications of preferential wetting of the shallow subsurface beneath much of the failed sections suggest that failure is due to excessive moisture content in these sections. These failed sections generally correspond to regions of deep cut and backfill, and regions cut and filled for the construction of reinforced concrete drains. Apparently, the backfills at these locations have failed to prevent water influx into the subsurface and more effective remediation measures need to be deployed.

Lung Function Indices among Marble Workers with Age Matched Healthy Individuals in Lahore

Background: Marble dust predominantly comprises of free silica which is a principal constituent of Earth’s crust. Production of toxic substances, chemicals, and respirable dust in marble industry offers an occupational threat to the workers. Free silica dust is generated during quarrying, grinding cutting and polishing of marble and is responsible for occupational pulmonary diseases. Objective: This study was conducted to compare pulmonary function test results among the workers of marble industry and healthy persons of same age in district, Lahore. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Settings: Study was conducted in marble workshops workers, located in Township area College Road, Institute of Public Health, Lahore Pakistan. Duration: Six months from 05 May 2021 to 04 August 2021. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 225 individuals. Forty-five male persons, each were selected from cutting, grinding and polishing sections along with office workers from the marble workshop. Forty-five age matched healthy individuals selected from the same community. After getting approval from the Institutional Review board, the data was collected in a pretested standardized questionnaire after taking informed written consent by the respondents. Lung function tests were conducted by a Spiro Lab Spirometer which included forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in one second and ratio of forced expiratory volume to forced vital capacity. Results: The mean years of work experience of respondents was 11.58 ±5.92 and that of non-exposed healthy individuals was 11.23±5.32 years. A significant relationship of marble dust and deranged pulmonary function tests (p-value≤0.001) was noted which was normal in case of non-exposed individuals. Duration of work in marble industry and age in years had significant relationship with reduction in pulmonary function tests (p- value<0.001 in each). About 83 (46%) marble workers working in different sections had reported abnormal spirometry as compared to non-exposed individuals (p-value<0.001). Conclusion: According to the current study, individuals who had worked in the marble industry for more than 15 years had a steady reduction in their lung function indices, which ultimately had a detrimental effect on their health and when compared to healthy individuals of the same community, marble workers' pulmonary function tests showed significant impairments.

THE RISK OF MEDICATIONS IMPAIRING ROAD TEST PERFORMANCE AMONG COGNITIVELY INTACT OLDER ADULTS

Abstract Importance Older adults are increasingly prescribed medications that have adverse side-effects. Prior studies have found higher risks associated with motor vehicle crashes. Objective: This 10-year study determined whether specific medication classes were associated with performance decline assessed by a standardized road test in a community-sample of healthy, cognitively-normal older adults. Design, Setting, and Participants: This was a prospective cohort study of 198 cognitively-normal older adults ≥ 65 years old with a valid driver’s license who were followed annually, with rolling enrollment. Exposure: Potentially driver impairing medications. Main outcomes and measures: The primary outcome measure was performance (pass or marginal/fail) based on the Washington University Road Test. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models evaluated the association between PDI medication use and road test performance. Results Among the 198 older adults (mean [SD] baseline age, 72.6 [4.6] years; 87 females [43.9%]; and 19 Black participants [9.5%]), 70 participants [35%] received a marginal/fail rating on the road test over an average follow up of 5.70 years. Any antidepressant (HR, 2.81; 95% CI, 1.67- 4.71), SSRI/SNRI (HR, 2.73; 95% CI, 1.56- 4.77), sedatives/hypnotics (HR, 2.70; 95% CI, 1.40- 5.19), or NSAIDs/Acetaminophen (HR, 2.80; 95% CI, 1.34- 5.83) use had at least a 2.5 greater risk of receiving a marginal/fail rating on a road test compared to controls. Conclusion and relevance: In this prospective cohort study, specific medication classes increased the longitudinal risk of failing a road test. Patients should be counseled about perceived driving difficulty and risk when prescribed these medications by clinicians.

Medication and Road Test Performance Among Cognitively Healthy Older Adults

Older adults are increasingly prescribed medications that have adverse effects. Prior studies have found a higher risk of motor vehicle crashes to be associated with certain medication use. To determine whether specific medication classes were associated with performance decline as assessed by a standardized road test in a community sample of cognitively healthy older adults, to evaluate additional associations of poor road test performance with comorbid medical conditions and demographic characteristics, and to test the hypothesis that specific medication classes (ie, antidepressants, benzodiazepines, sedatives or hypnotics, anticholinergics, antihistamines, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or acetaminophen) would be associated with an increase in risk of impaired driving performance over time. This was a prospective cohort study of 198 cognitively healthy adults 65 years and older with a valid driver's license who were followed up annually, with rolling enrollment. Data were collected from participants in St Louis, Missouri, and neighboring Illinois who were enrolled in the Knight Alzheimer's Disease Research Center. Data were collected from August 28, 2012, to March 14, 2023, and analyzed from April 1 to 25, 2023. Participants with healthy cognition, defined as a Clinical Dementia Rating score of 0 at baseline and subsequent visits, who had available clinical, neuropsychological, road tests, and self-reported medication data were included. Potentially driver-impairing medication use. The primary outcome measure was performance on the Washington University Road Test (pass or marginal/fail). Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were used to evaluate associations between potentially driver-impairing medication use and road test performance. Of the 198 included adults (mean [SD] baseline age, 72.6 [4.6] years; 87 female [43.9%]), 70 (35%) received a marginal/fail rating on the road test over a mean (SD) follow-up of 5.70 (2.45) years. Any use of antidepressants (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 2.68; 95% CI, 1.69-4.71), serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (aHR, 2.68; 95% CI, 1.54-4.64), sedatives or hypnotics (aHR, 2.70; 95% CI, 1.40-5.19), or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (aHR, 2.72; 95% CI, 1.31-5.63) was associated with an increase in risk of receiving a marginal/fail rating on the road test compared with control individuals. Conversely, participants taking lipid-lowering agents had a lower risk of receiving a marginal/fail rating compared to control individuals. There were no statistically significant associations found between anticholinergic or antihistamines and poor performance. In this prospective cohort study, specific medication classes were associated with an increase in risk of poor road test performance over time. Clinicians should consider this information and counsel patients accordingly when prescribing these medications.

Estimation of Soil Contamination with Heavy Metals in the Streets of Al-Diwaniyah City in Al-Qadisiyah Governorate, Iraq

This study aims to calculate the contamination levels of the elements (Pb, Cr, Ni and Cd) in soil samples taken from the Iraqi city of Al-Diwaniyah in the Al-Qadisiyah Governorate. Twenty samples of dust collected between the street and the sidewalk were collected for some areas of Al-Diwaniyah city, and then analyses were conducted to determine the concentrations of toxic and carcinogenic elements with the global determinants. The study’s findings revealed that there were very high concentrations of heavy metals compared to the internationally permissible limits, where the highest concentration of lead and chromium was in Main Street - Al-Asry District (112.6 ppm) and (115.1 ppm), respectively, and the lowest concentration of them was in Health Center Street - Al-Furat District (15.8 ppm) and (48.8 ppm), respectively, where the lowest lead value exceeded the internationally permitted limits and the lowest chromium value fell below the permissible limit. As for nickel and cadmium, the highest values of nickel and cadmium appeared in Main Street - Eastern Republican District which amounted to (135.2 ppm) and (2ppm), respectively, which is significantly greater than the internationally permissible limit, while the lowest values appeared in University Street - University District, which is (3.6 ppm) (0.05 ppm) respectively, which is less than the internationally permissible limit. It is noted from the results obtained that high rates of heavy metals concentrations in the soil samples of Al-Diwaniyah City indicate that the main factor in this rise is pollution caused by human activities, and the reason for this is due to the effect of vehicle launchers and some launchers of workshops and factories, as well as its presence in sand-laden dust of various sources. This rise might have an effect on the environment and human health at all of the selected sites.

However, aberrant inflammatory responses could disturb ECM homeostasis leading to progressive disruption in tissue architecture and organ function. Fibrosis is the common outcome of a wide range of diseases, especially chronic inflammatory disorders, and represents the leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. This review provides the current understanding of the pathogenesis of fibrosis, with particular emphasis on the role of inflammation in this process and the translational potential of targeting inflammation as a strategy to control fibrotic progression.

Periodic study with selected mineral elements levels of cow and goat milk samples obtained from two animal markets in Benin City and estimated daily intake of studied heavy metals

This work entailed periodic investigations of raw goat and cow milk samples collected from Eyan and Technical College Road Animal Markets in Benin City, Nigeria; for levels of Ca, Fe, Zn, Cu, Co, Cr, Cd and Pb. The collection of samples was carried out on a weekly basis for a period of four weeks. Another portion of the work was concerned with the estimation of daily intake (EDI) of the examined heavy metals through milk consumption. Determinations of the examined mineral elements were carried out in accordance with standard methods. Significantly, atomic absorption spectrophotometry using buck scientific model 210VGP atomic absorption spectrophotometer was used for Ca, Fe, Zn, Cu, Co, Cr, Cd, and Pb Levels determinations. Estimation of daily intake (EDI) of the examined heavy metals through milk consumption was by calculation. Data generated were statistically evaluated using International Business Machine (IBM) Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Results indicate variations in the levels of the examined mineral elements with respect to both sampling period and location. The observed variations were statistically significant (P˂0.05). Also discernable from results, was that in the studied goat milk samples, Ca with a mean total value of 127.802mg/kg occurred highest, while Pb with a mean total value of 0.005mg/kg was the lowest occurring of the examined mineral elements. Similar trend of result was obtained for the studied cow milk samples. Results from the portion of work on the estimation of daily intake of the examined heavy metals through milk consumption, indicate that with respect to goat milk, EDI Value of 17.694μg/kg/daily consumption, obtained for Zn in males within the studied age bracket (1-5years) was the highest; while the EDI of 0.009μg/kg/daily consumption, recorded for Pb in both male and female within the studied age group bracket (17 years and above) was the lowest. Similar pattern of EDI results was obtained for the EDI values of the examined heavy metals through cow milk consumption. The occurrence of toxicologically relevant lead and cadmium in all the studied milk samples, is an indication of the need for measure that would minimize the exposure of the animals to contaminated foliage and water, to be put in place.

Numerical simulation of dam-breach flood waves

Dam breach due to the earthquake, Land sliding inside the dam reservoir, dam overtopping as a result of intense precipitation in a watershed are examples of dangerous risks which flood caused by any of them should be predicted by suitable hydraulic or numerical models in the framework of a risk management plan. In the present research, 2DHec-Ras model has been applied in order to flood modeling of Sattarkhan dam. This dam is in the North West of Iran, located 15 km from the west of Ahar city, in the East Azerbaijan province, Iran. The downstream part of the dam to Ahar city has been studied considering the population and infrastructures in this district according to two different scenarios of dam failure. The first scenario includes piping of flow and dam failure profile with steep side walls while the second scenario consists of inclined sidewalls in the dam breach profile and overtopping of flow as the main cause of breaching. The population centers have been selected in the downstream area of dam according to the field facts. The maximum flood depth reaches up to 9.1 m for the first scenario and 7.1 m for the second scenario at the Islamic Azad University and Tabriz-Ahar road, respectively. The results show the notable risk for some of the population centers in the downstream of the dam. Furthermore, the arrival time of flood, recession time, and maximum velocities in the targeted areas for preparing emergency action plans has been calculated.

DEVELOPMENT OF IMMATURE STAGES OF THE HOUSEFLY, Musca domestica (DIPTERAL: MUSCIDAE) ON DIFFERENT MANURES IN BENIN CITY, NIGERIA

This study was carried out in the University of Benin, Benin City, Nigeria, from June to August, 2013. Three organic manures (poultry manure collected from a poultry farm in the University of Benin; pig manure collected from a pig farm in Ugbighokho, Upper Ekehuan road and cow manure collected from a dairy farm located at Technical College road, all in Benin City, Nigeria), were used for the study. Exposure was done the day after collection and evaluation was made daily to ascertain the day each of the various developmental stages appeared. Egg to larva development took an average of 14 hours on the three manures. It took an average of 169 hours (7 days) and 187 hours (8 days) for the larvae to develop to pupae on poultry and pig manures respectively. No larva pupated in the cow manure. Adult eclosion took 261 hours (11 days) and 381 hours (16 days) on poultry and pig manure respectively. There was a high significant difference (P<0.01) in the time taken for each immature stage to develop to the next among the different manures. The mean size of the larvae of pig manure was 12mm while those of poultry and cow were 10mm and 9mm respectively. The mean length of the pupae was 4mm and 5mm on poultry and pig manures respectively. There were no pupae in the cow manure. There was a high significant difference (P<0.01) in the length of the lavae and pupae on the different manures. Poultry and pig manures recorded mean adult sizes of 4mm and 5mm respectively while no adult was recorded in cow manure. There was a high significant difference (P<0.01) in the sizes of M. Domestica bred on different manures with those in pig manure significantly longer than those in poultry manure. The average populations of immature stages of M. domestica in the different manures were: LARVAE = Poultry (228); pig (54), cow (06); PUPAE = Poultry (144); pig (42), cow (00); ADULT = Poultry (140); pig (40), cow (00). There was a high significant difference (P<0.01) in the population of immature stages of the housefly among the different substrates.

Preface

People’s quality of life recently becomes an interesting-debates across professionals. World Health Organisation (WHO) stated that improving the people’s health and well-being is an important-factors contribute to people’s quality life. Their health and well-being can help the mengaging 4.0 industrial revolution era and it also determines the health of the next generation and can help predict future of public health challenges for families, communities, and the health care system. Therefore, research, policies and strategies have been conducted and promoted in order to achieve the goal in each national level including Indonesia through innovation and involvement both public and private sectors. Additionally, the rapid development of science and technology in the 21st Century offers more benefits and opportunities. At the same time, it adds more challenges and threats to society. The development of technology has enabled people to live longer and more comfortably, yet at the same time have created a destructive lifestyle for both natural resources and socialties. Lifestyle in the Digital Age demands all things fast paced, instant and sophisticated, and easy, without the need for physical activity and tendstobestatic. To address such complex situations, stake holder collaboration is needed between the Government, the private sector, civil society and scholars. It also needs to be highlighted that research activity is crucial for improving health and well-being because it enables academicians and practitioners to explore issues and provide evidence for those who concerning for in national or international level. Additionally, the one that also crucial to be focused on, is a research dissemination which enables researcher, professionals, health care providers, students or evenly person disseminate, share and discuss about topic matters.2020 AISYIYAH International Conference on Engineering Science and Its Applications (A-ESIA) as part of 2nd International Conference of Health, Science and Technology which we originally planned to be placed in June 2020 by using conventional face to face meeting, however, due to Covid-19 impact it therefore changed to be run in Juli 2020 by using online platform.

Proviviparus talbragarensis gen. et sp. nov., the first viviparid snail from the Late Jurassic of Australia

Extinct freshwater snails of the family Viviparidae can be found on all continents with the exception of Madagascar and Antarctica. These snails are usually thought to have evolved in the Early Jurassic of Laurasia. Our findings suggest that viviparids may have achieved an almost worldwide distribution by the Late Jurassic. Here we report viviparid snails from the Upper Jurassic Talbragar Fish Bed in New South Wales, Australia, and describe them as a new genus and species. This represents the first reliable record of the family Viviparidae from the Jurassic of Gondwana. One specimen shows a thin operculum and in another there is evidence of brooding.
