Potential effects of fermented moringa (Moringa oleifera) leaf extract to increase the color brightness of the Oranda goldfish (Carassius auratus)

Abstract. Umaiyah S, Putra AN, Herjayanto M, Syamsunarno MB. 2023. Potential effects of fermented moringa (Moringa oleifera) leaf extract to increase the color brightness of the Oranda goldfish (Carassius auratus). Nusantara Bioscience 15: 288-296. Moringa (Moringa oleifera Lam.) leaf extract serves as a natural reservoir of carotenoids, prominently ? -carotene, effectively employed to augment the color quality of ornamental fish. This study aimed to evaluate the potential effects of adding fermented moringa leaf extract to feed to enhance the color vibrancy of Oranda goldfish (Carassius auratus (Linnaeus, 1758)). Moringa leaves were also fermented using Aspergillus niger Tiegh. at a dosage of 0.5 g/100 g for 48 hours, followed by extraction using 70% ethanol. Four doses of fermented moringa leaf extract (0, 40, 50, 60 mL/kg) with three replications were added to a commercial feed using the coating method. The results showed that the carotene in fermented moringa leaf extract is 94.22 ppm/50 mL. Adding moringa leaf extract to the feed enhanced the Oranda goldfish's brightness and color diversity. The addition of fermented moringa leaf extract at a dose of 60 mL/kg led to the highest color diversity values on the body (57.81%), caudal (71.71%), and head (71.13%) compared to other treatments. Moringa leaf extract did not affect growth rate, survival, blood profile, and water quality parameters for maintaining Oranda goldfish. The extract from A. niger had the potential to be used in the cultivation of Oranda goldfish, and the addition of 60 mL/kg achieved the best color brightness and diversity.
Modelling waterborne diseases.

Waterborne diseases are among the major health problems threatening the life of individuals globally. This thesis investigates the dynamics of waterborne disease under different conditions and consequently determines possible intervention strategies to minimize the spread of the disease. The following problems are addressed: The effects of seasonal variations on the dynamics of waterborne disease together with the possible benefits of control intervention strategies such as vaccination, treatment and provision of clean water under the assumption of a homogeneous population are investigated. Specifically, we determine the optimal use of the intervention strategies to mitigate the spread of the disease. The dynamics of waterborne disease in a multiple socioeconomic class community is explored. Particularly, we investigate the effects of migration of individuals due to socioeconomic reasons on the dynamics of waterborne disease under the assumption of heterogeneous mixing population. We examine the effects of multiple contaminated water sources on the dynamics of waterborne disease under the assumption of homogeneous population. We also consider the problem of minimizing cost and determine the optimal use of vaccination to reduce the spread of infections. The effects of heterogeneity on the transmission dynamics of waterborne disease is explored. Furthermore, we scrutinize use of the control intervention strategies to mitigate the spread of the infections under a heterogeneous population setting.
TECHNO-ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF TRIANGULAR ROOFTOP SOLAR PV MODEL/PLN ON-GRID HOUSEHOLD SCALE IN INDONESIA

The use of solar PV as an alternative to fulfill household-scale electricity needs has begun to be widely developed. However, the problem of investment costs and the location of solar PV placement for household scale is still a challenge in its implementation. The construction model of rooftop solar PV can affect the investment cost and performance of solar PV. In this paper, the triangle model of rooftop solar PV on grid with PLN (PT. Perusahaan Listrik Negara) electricity network is studied in terms of technology and economics to determine the feasibility of implementing 900 VA household-scale power plants. Testing the application of solar PV technology under solar radiation conditions in the city of Surabaya, Indonesia as a case study. Calculation of electricity production, energy savings, energy sales, and energy purchases to determine technological feasibility as well Net Present Value (NPV), Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR), and Payback Period (PP) to determine the level of economic feasibility. The results of the research of 1,5 KWP (kilowatt peak) solar PV technology on a household scale are able to meet energy needs and reduce PLN electricity purchases to 0% and can sell electrical energy by 13.96% / year of the total electrical energy produced. In addition, the NPV, BCR with a value greater than zero, and PP of 8.6 is less than 15 years which is the service life of solar PV, so solar PV/ PLN on grid is feasible to be implemented for household scale power generation models.

Finite-Time Asynchronous Event-Triggered Control for Switched Nonlinear Cyber-Physical Systems With Quantization

This study examines the finite-time event-triggered control (ETC) problem for nonlinear switched cyber-physical systems (NSCPSs) by using an asynchronous switching strategy. An ETC scheme, along with a measurement size reduction technique, has been implemented to decrease network communication burden and redeem network resources. Data quantization is also another efficient method for reducing the amount of transmitted data via networks. Meanwhile, asynchronous phenomena among ETC instants are studied, which is much more realistic and difficult in the system under consideration. The prime intent of this research is to enhance the asynchronous event-triggered control (AETC) technique to guarantee the resulting closed-loop NSCPS is finite-time bounded (FTB) and prespecified mixed $H_{\infty} $ and passive performance index $\gamma $ in the finite-time horizon. A novel set of required conditions in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) is enhanced using the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF) theory, ensuring that the FTB criterion is met. Furthermore, the gains are acquired by solving a group of LMIs. Ultimately, a numerical illustration is provided, showcasing the efficaciousness and practicality of the developed control strategy through a real-world application known as the vertical take-off and landing helicopter model (VTOLHM).
Analysis of High School Students’ Learning Difficulties in Understanding the Mechanics Concept

Students have difficulty learning to understand the concept of mechanics. This is due to not having mastered the prerequisite skills. This study aims to determine the difficulties of students in understanding and mastering mechanical material. This study uses a descriptive method with quantitative and qualitative approaches. The subjects of this study were 18 high school students, both private and public in Yogyakarta, which were taken using a stratified random sampling technique. The steps of this research include finding references, determining subjects, making questionnaires, distributing questionnaires, analyzing data, and concluding. The instrument used is a questionnaire with answers that can be in the form of choices, opinions, and/or suggestions. The results of the study show that most students considered physics to be a difficult subject, especially the concept of mechanics. The concepts of mechanics that are considered difficult are rotational dynamics and rigid body equilibrium; impulse, momentum, the law of conservation of energy, and fluid dynamics. The learning method applied by the teacher is not appropriate because it only provides material without a more complete explanation. Students have difficulty physics learning on mechanics material because of their perception and inappropriate learning methods.
Look at the future -perceptions of fertility counseling and decision-making among adolescents and their parents in the context of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation—experience of one major center for pediatric stem cell transplantation

Introduction Increasing survival rates after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in childhood should put focus on improving the quality of life as adults. An essential aspect is fertility and its preservation. In order to take advantage of the possibility of fertility preservation, fertility counseling should be provided to patients and their parents prior to gonadotoxic therapies. Methods The aim of this survey was to analyze the impact of fertility counseling in pediatric stem cell transplantation in patients and their parents using questionnaires designed for the study questions. Fifty-one parents and 7 adolescent patients were interviewed between February 2019 and October 2021 about the counseling, their perceptions of fertility issues, and the nature of decision- making concerning fertility preservation. The study included patients with malignant (e.g., leukemia, lymphoma, neuroblastoma) and nonmalignant diseases (e.g., thalassemia, sickle cell disease, immunodeficiency) who received counseling on fertility preservation before HSCT based on an in-house standard and analysed the impact for both groups. Results Two-thirds of the study participants were concerned about having children and grandchildren respectively; for half of all respondents, the topic of fertility and fertility preservation proved to be hopeful. Forty percent of the study participants were burdened by the risk of possible fertility limitations after HSCT. Concerns about fertility was particularly significant for parents whose children were advised to undergo fertility preservation. Parents of children <12 years found deciding on appropriate measures more difficult. Parents with children >7 years involved their children in the decision. All study participants agreed that fertility counseling had not negatively affected the parent-child relationship. More than 90% of all study participants were in favor of addressing fertility, its potential limitations and fertility preservation measures before HSCT. There was no significant difference between the malignant and the non-malignant cohort in all study questions. Discussion Overall, the standardized fertility counseling provided in our center of pediatric stem cell transplantation resulted in high satisfaction among patients and their parents. Multiple counseling on infertility risk, including the younger patients in the decision-making and further options after gonadotoxic therapy may increase the satisfaction of the counseled patients and their parents.
The mineralogy of the platinum-group elements from some copper-nickel deposits of the Sudbury area, Ontario

A detailed mineralogical investigation was made of 25 samples from nine deposits geographically encircling the Sudbury basin. This study has resulted in the identification and characterization of 13 platinum-group minerals, as well as in a description of their textures, mode of occurrence, mineral associations, and other details relevant to improving beneficiation.The platinum-group minerals found are froodite, insizwaite, kotulskite, merenskyite, mertieite II, michenerite, moncheite, niggliite, sperrylite, sudburyite, unnamed Pd(Te, Sb,Bi), unnamed Pd 8 Sb 3 , and unnamed Ag 4 Pd 3 Te 4 . Most of the opaque minerals in these samples were analyzed in situ for minor substitutions of the major metals by Pd, Pt, and Rh with the following results: Pd occurs in minor, but, in some cases, significant quantities in cobaltite, gersdorffite, insizwaite, maucherite, melonite, moncheite, nickeline, and niggliite; Pt occurs in cobaltite-gersdorffite, froodite, michenerite, and nickeline; Rh was found in cobaltite-gersdorffite and sperrylite.The South Range and Offset deposits are characterized by the presence of arsenides and antimony and by the scarcity of tin-bearing platinum-group minerals; in contrast, arsenides and antimonides are sparse and tin is present in platinum-group minerals in the North Range deposits. This difference is reflected in the platinum-group mineralogy; sperrylite is the principal platinum mineral in the former deposits, whereas moncheite, insizwaite, and niggliite are the principal platinum minerals in the North Range deposits. Other differences in the geochemistry between the South and North Range deposits are reflected in the most common palladium mineral, michenerite. South Range michenerite is usually antimonian- and platinum-free, whereas North Range michenerite is platinian and contains from nil to trace amounts of antimony.Much of the Pd and Pt, now found as discrete platinum-group minerals, is considered to have been fractionated into a Cu-rich liquid upon crystallization of monosulfide solid solution from an original immiscible sulfide-silicate magma. Crystallization of an intermediate solid solution from the Cu-rich liquid resulted in further enrichment of platinum-group elements in a Pd-Pt-Te-Bi-Sb-(As? )-rich liquid. The crystallization of the platinum-group minerals, on further cooling, was subsequently controlled by the phase relations in that type of system.
Suspected NUT carcinoma progressing on pembrolizumab, carboplatin, and paclitaxel as first-line treatment: a case report

Introduction and importance: NUT carcinoma of the thorax is an extremely rare neoplasm characterized by a translocation between the NUT M1 gene and members of the bromodomain genetic family. Due to the rarity of the neoplasm, standardized treatment guidelines have not yet been established. Several chemotherapeutic agents have been used with limited success, due to the rapid development of resistance to treatment. Pembrolizumab, an anti-programmed-death-1 antibody, has become increasingly used in non-small-cell lung carcinomas. Consequently, pembrolizumab may be beneficial in the treatment of NUT carcinoma. Case presentation: In this article, we discuss the case of a 24-year-old man who was referred to our centre due to an incidental mass finding on an unrelated computed tomography scan. Morphological and immunohistochemical characteristics are highly suspicious of NUT carcinoma with bone metastasis. The patient was placed on carboplatin, paclitaxel, and pembrolizumab as first-line therapy. The patient later progressed and began receiving second-line treatment according to Ewing’s protocol. 20 months later, the mass continued to grow, and the patient was started on docetaxel and gemcitabine, which was unsuccessful. After discussing with the patient, he decided to stop chemotherapy and begin palliative care. Clinical discussion: NUT carcinoma is an aggressive tumour with poor prognosis. Treatment options are limited and pembrolizumab does not seem to influence the clinical outcome of the neoplasm. Conclusion: Overall, pembrolizumab does not seem to improve the outcomes of NUT carcinoma patients. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the second article reporting the effects of pembrolizumab on the progression of NUT carcinoma.
A numerical study of large‐scale ionospheric modulation due to the thermal process by powerful wave heating

We present a three‐dimensional numerical model of large‐scale ionospheric electron density and temperature modulation by powerful electromagnetic waves by incorporating the transport equations and the three‐dimensional ray‐tracing algorithm. Based on this numerical model, the changes of ionospheric electron density and temperature at nighttime are investigated. The simulation results present (1) the ionospheric electron temperature enhancement due to the energy absorption; (2) the ionospheric electron density depletion at the reflection region and enhancement at the upper/lower region along the field line due to the thermal pressure; and (3) large‐scale field‐aligned irregularities (FAIs) due to the thermal self‐focusing instability with transverse scale of ~10 km. The results are quantitatively consistent with the previous theoretical predictions and experimental observations, which indicate that the thermal processes play an important role in the ionospheric electron density/temperature modulation and large‐scale FAI generation.
Genome-Wide Analysis of the Polygalacturonase Gene Family Sheds Light on the Characteristics, Evolutionary History, and Putative Function of Akebia trifoliata

Polygalacturonase (PG) is one of the largest families of hydrolytic enzymes in plants. It is involved in the breakdown of pectin in the plant cell wall and even contributes to peel cracks. Here, we characterize PGs and outline their expression profiles using the available reference genome and transcriptome of Akebia trifoliata. The average length and exon number of the 47 identified AktPGs, unevenly assigned on 14 chromosomes and two unassembled contigs, were 5399 bp and 7, respectively. The phylogenetic tree of 191 PGs, including 47, 57, 51, and 36 from A. trifoliata, Durio zibethinus, Actinidia chinensis, and Vitis vinifera, respectively, showed that AktPGs were distributed in all groups except group G and that 10 AktPGs in group E were older, while the remaining 37 AktPGs were younger. Evolutionarily, all AktPGs generally experienced whole-genome duplication (WGD)/segmental repeats and purifying selection. Additionally, the origin of conserved domain III was possibly associated with a histidine residue (H) substitute in motif 8. The results of both the phylogenetic tree and expression profiling indicated that five AktPGs, especially AktPG25, could be associated with the cracking process. Detailed information and data on the PG family are beneficial for further study of the postharvest biology of A. trifoliata.
The new progress in ore prospecting within Daxing'anling mineralization belt,China

Recently,a number of potential mineralization points have been found in the western of Daxing'anling mineralization belt through 1:50000 perspective survey and evaluation of mineral resources by Geological Survey Institute of Inner Mongolia. Five mineralization points have been partial investigated in detail. One of them may be a large-scale mineral deposit,and others are medium-scale deposits. By general survey,polymetal mineralization of two points are better and may be become certain-sized mineral deposits. Based on metallogenic geological conditions,geophysical and geochemical anomalies and general investigation hole,the deposits of above might have the potential to expand. Comprehensive analyses of the mineral and ore-forming geological conditions,there have better prospects in the two areas discussed in this article,and they are from Erlian to Dongwuqi and from Aershan through Lizishan to Boketu. If further geological survey works were done,there would have a major breakthrough in exploration.
A cooperativity between virus and bacteria during respiratory infections

Respiratory tract infections remain the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The burden is further increased by polymicrobial infection or viral and bacterial co-infection, often exacerbating the existing condition. Way back in 1918, high morbidity due to secondary pneumonia caused by bacterial infection was known, and a similar phenomenon was observed during the recent COVID-19 pandemic in which secondary bacterial infection worsens the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) condition. It has been observed that viruses paved the way for subsequent bacterial infection; similarly, bacteria have also been found to aid in viral infection. Viruses elevate bacterial infection by impairing the host’s immune response, disrupting epithelial barrier integrity, expression of surface receptors and adhesion proteins, direct binding of virus to bacteria, altering nutritional immunity, and effecting the bacterial biofilm. Similarly, the bacteria enhance viral infection by altering the host’s immune response, up-regulation of adhesion proteins, and activation of viral proteins. During co-infection, respiratory bacterial and viral pathogens were found to adapt and co-exist in the airways of their survival and to benefit from each other, i.e., there is a cooperative existence between the two. This review comprehensively reviews the mechanisms involved in the synergistic/cooperativity relationship between viruses and bacteria and their interaction in clinically relevant respiratory infections.
Hydraulic Conductivity of Bentonite Grouted Sand

The yield stress and viscosity of bentonite suspensions treated with Sodium Pyrophosphate (SPP) were measured to investigate the applicability of modified bentonite suspensions as a permeation grout. The yield stress and viscosity were significantly reduced with the addition of Sodium Pyrophosphate (SPP). The main advantage of using SPP is the temporary nature of the reduction in yield stress and viscosity; both parameters increase with time and exceed the values of the original suspension without the SPP. Permeability tests were conducted to verify the effectiveness of the bentonite suspensions in decreasing the hydraulic conductivity of the sand. Permeated samples were prepared with clean sand and bentonite using 7.5, 10, and 12% bentonite suspensions. The results showed that hydraulic conductivities of the sand decreased by 4, 4.5 and 5 orders of magnitude with grout bentonite contents of 7.5%, 10% and 12%, respectively. These findings suggest the possible application of Sodium Pyrophosphate (SPP) treated bentonite suspensions in permeation grouting for controlling hydraulic conductivity.
