    Abstract This paper considers a nonlinear dynamical model of an ecosystem, which has been established through combining the classical Lotka-Volterra model with the classic SIR model. This nonlinear system consists of a generalist predator that subsists on two prey species in which disease is becoming endemic in one of them. The dynamical analysis methods prove that the system has a chaotic attractor and extreme multistability behavior, where there are infinitely many attractors that coexist under certain conditions. The occurrence of extreme multistability demonstrates the high sensitivity of the system for the initial conditions, which means that tiny changes in the original prey species could enlarge and be widespread, and that could confirm through studying the complexity of the time series of the system's variables. Simulation results of the sample entropy algorithm show that the changes in the system's variables expand over time. It is reasonable now to consider the endemic in the prey species of the system could evolve to be pandemic such as COVID-19. Consequently, our results could provide a foresight about the unpredictability of the COVID-19 outbreak in its original host species as well as after the transmission to other species such as humans.

    Abstract In a recent paper [S. Ghosh, Phys. Rev. E 103, 023205 (2021)2470-004510.1103/PhysRevE.103.023205], the transport properties of the two-dimensional weakly nonlinear quasilongitudinal dust lattice mode were investigated in a highly viscous, strongly coupled, and weakly ionized plasma. Based on the computational results, the author predicted strong viscosity induced Shilnikov homoclinic chaos. In this Comment, it is shown that the dynamical system presented in the paper is inconsistent and incorrect because of an error in the expression of ε. As a result, period-2, period-4, chaotic and homoclinic chaotic phenomena do not exist, which were observed in the paper.

    Abstract A knowledge-based cybernetic framework model representing the dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 inside the human body has been studied analytically and in silico to explore the pathophysiologic regulations. The following modeling methodology was developed as a platform to introduce a predictive tool supporting a therapeutic approach to Covid-19 disease. A time-dependent nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations model was constructed involving type-I cells, type-II cells, SARS-CoV-2 virus, inflammatory mediators, interleukins along with host pulmonary gas exchange rate, thermostat control, and mean pressure difference. This formalism introduced about 17 unknown parameters. Estimating these unknown parameters requires a mathematical association with the in vivo sparse data and the dynamic sensitivities of the model. The cybernetic model can simulate a dynamic response to the reduced pulmonary alveolar gas exchange rate, thermostat control, and mean pressure difference under a very critical condition based on equilibrium (steady state) values of the inflammatory mediators and system parameters. In silico analysis of the current cybernetical approach with system dynamical modeling can provide an intellectual framework to help experimentalists identify more active therapeutic approaches.

    Abstract Background and aims: Surgical trauma initiates changes in central and peripheral nervous systems that need to be treated therapeutically to facilitate postoperative pain. The quality of postoperative analgesia is expected to affect clinical outcomes positively. Albeit optimal pain relief following cardiac surgery is often complex, researchers have tried to explore several techniques other than conventional ones during the last decade to find a unique analgesic method for postcardiac surgical patients. This study aims to find a unique analgesic approach that maximizes patient satisfaction after off-pump coronary artery bypass graft (OPCABG) surgery.
    Methods: The current study will compare the analgesic effect of upper thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) with conventional analgesia after OPCAB graft surgery. For this, we will use a Quasi-experimental study design. Patients admitted for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery will be assigned into two groups. The control group (conventional) will receive intravenous opioids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, and the study (case) group (TEA) will receive Inj. Bupivacaine 0.25% as an infusion through the epidural catheter. Physiologic parameters like hemodynamic and respiratory variables and pain scores will be recorded in predesigned format periodically.
    Results: We expect to analyze a total of 130 consecutive off-pump CABG surgery patients in Group A (Case, 65 patients) and Group B (Control, 65 patients). Study variables will be the visual analog scale score, hemodynamic parameters (heart rate, mean arterial pressure, and respiratory parameters (respiratory rate, PaO
    Conclusion: We expect thoracic epidural analgesia with local anesthetics will be a reliable postoperative analgesic option.

After data collection, the result will be analyzed and published in the public domain and in journals. Conclusion We expect thoracic epidural analgesia with local anesthetics will be a reliable postoperative analgesic option.

    Abstract Background & objectives: Community participation is one of the key factors for implementation and success of a public health programme which depends upon knowledge about that disease. Therefore, understanding the community knowledge about malaria is important for designing sustainable control programmes. This study was conducted to assess the knowledge about malaria, to evaluate long lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) distribution and their use by LQAS method in endemic areas of Bankura district, West Bengal state, India Methods: It was a community based cross-sectional survey conducted in Bankura during December 2019-March 2020. Structured questionnaire under four categories: socio-demographic variables, knowledge of malaria, owner ship of LLINs and its use were used for the interview. Ownership of LLINs and its use were analysed by LQAS method. Data were analysed by binary logistic regression model and chi-squared test.
    Results: Out of 456 respondents, 88.59% had good knowledge, 97.37% had good ownership of LLIN and 78.95% used LLINs properly. The knowledge about malaria was significantly associated with education level (p-value<0.0001). Out of 24 lots studied, 3, 2, 4 lots were underperforming with respect to knowledge, ownership of LLIN and its use, respectively.
    Interpretation & conclusion: The study population had a good knowledge about malaria. In spite of good coverage of LLIN distribution, the use of LLINs was not up to the mark. LQAS analysis showed underperformance in few lots about knowledge, ownership of LLIN and its use. The IEC and BCC activities about LLIN should be done to achieve the impact of this intervention at the community level.

    Abstract Dynamical properties of dust-ion-acoustic waves (DIAWs) are analysed in a collisional nonextensive dusty plasma composing of mobile ions, q-nonextensive electrons and stationary dust grains with slight collisions between dusts and ions. Reductive perturbation technique (RPT) is practiced to acquire the damped Korteweg-de Vries (DKdV) equation. In absence of collision between dusts and ions, the damping term vanishes and the DKdV equation reduces to the KdV equation. Bifurcation analysis of the dynamical system obtained from the KdV equation is carried out. Analytical solitary wave solution and numerical periodic wave solution of the KdV equation are presented. Approximate analytical DIAW solutions for the DKdV equation are furnished using the novel $ (G'/G) $ -expansion technique. As an outcome, novel approximate analytical solutions of DIAWs are obtained for the DKdV equation. The application of our work is significant to explore nonextensive plasma environment, such as, ionosphere of Earth.
