Authors: Prihadi Donny Juliandri , Zhang Guanghai , Lahbar Ghulam M. , Pasaribu Buntora
Published: March 2024

Marine ecotourism is one of the pivotal sectors that supports the sustainability of marine ecosystems and elevates the socioeconomic status of the country. Karangsong is located on the northern side of the Indramayu districts, covering approximately 25 hectares of mangrove. The significant number of tourists visiting sites of mangrove ecotourism in Indonesia contributed to the tourist intentions associated with the diversity of mangrove and management strategies. How the community-based tourism (CBT) index aligns with biophysical assessment is still unclear. This study aimed to investigate the interconnectedness between the community-based tourism (CBT) index and biophysical assessment to measure the ratio number of tourists using the carrying capacity and sustainability index in Karangsong. A potential new suitability index for mangrove tourism was created. The various factors such as the mangrove ecosystem, substrate, and suitability that impacted the development of mangrove tourism were quantitatively analyzed. Our study identified that the majority of mangrove ecotourism sites in Karangsong Indramayu Regency consist of rich diverse mangrove species. The biophysical characteristics of the mangrove ecosystem were assessed with a suitability index of 83.7%. Our results indicated that the operations of mangrove tourism in the Karangsong region are well-managed and maintained. The region has a carrying capacity of 803 people/day, which refers to the maximum number of individuals for this area. This finding provides a more detailed understanding of the contribution of the new sustainability index of mangrove tourism and community-based tourism (CBT) approach assessing the potential development and challenges in the management of mangrove forests ecotourism.

Food System vs. Sustainability: An Incompatible Relationship in Mexico
Authors: Housni Fatima Ezzahra , Lares-Michel Mariana
Published: March 2024

The Mexican food system has suffered deep transformations due to multiple technological advances and political and free trade agreements, transiting from a food system for self-consumption to a system based on exports and imports that has resulted in excessive agricultural activity intensification, leading to environmental deterioration. Our species’ survival will depend on our capacity to manage systems, considering all ecosystems, especially the climate and food systems. International organizations insist that sustainable food systems could be a useful strategy to address malnutrition and hunger while respecting the environment. However, the food system in Mexico needs to be connected to the environmental, social, health, and food security dimensions. Sustainability in Mexico synthesizes the contradictions of agriculture and the Mexican diet, not only in its economic and productive dimensions but also in the social and environmental ones. Public policies in all sectors of the country must be interconnected and organized to guarantee the sustainability of a system that benefits the environment and population health while respecting the related economic and social elements. This review aims to offer a comprehensive understanding of the Mexican food system’s history and current situation and analyze proposals for its sustainability.
Impact of Digital Transformation on ESG Management and Corporate Performance: Focusing on the Empirical Comparison between Korea and China
Authors: Liu Huifang , Jung Jin-Sup
Published: March 2024

With the development of digital technology, tasks such as carbon neutrality have emerged as global issues because of the climate crisis. Digital transformation (DT) and environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) management have already become strategic requirements on the agenda of corporate management, but theories and empirical research on how to affect corporate performance through digital transformation and ESG management are lacking. This study examined the intrinsic mechanism of DT to corporate performance based on the theory of a resource-based view (RBV). In addition, the theoretical framework of ESG management as mediating variables was constructed. The ‘Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM)’ was used to verify the hypotheses derived from the literature. Empirical analysis was conducted on companies interested in DT and ESG management in Korea and China. DT positively affected ESG management and corporate performance (e.g., non-financial and financial performance). On the other hand, an examination of the relationship between ESG management and corporate performance revealed differences between the results from Korea and China. The strategic implications for corporate DT and ESG management are suggested. In particular, this study also contributes to the academic aspect by providing new explanations for applying resource-based view theory and the relationship between DT, ESG management, and corporate performance.

Published: March 2024

This paper investigates the effect of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance on the enterprise value of heavily polluting listed companies in China’s Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share markets. The study found that ESG performance helps to improve the corporate value of heavily polluting listed companies, and ESG performance has an impact mechanism effect on the corporate value of heavily polluting listed companies through green technology innovation, financing costs, and internal control; the analysis of heterogeneity is conducted from three different perspectives: resource endowment, ownership nature, and overseas background of senior executives. At the same time, the interaction term ESG × EPU is employed to examine the regulatory effect of economic policy uncertainty Non-state-owned enterprises can enhance their enterprise value more effectively by improving their ESG performance based on the research findings. The ESG performance of heavy polluting enterprises in non-resource-based cities has a more obvious role in promoting corporate value; in companies where executives have overseas backgrounds, ESG performance is more conducive to the improvement of corporate value. The empirical evidence derived from the research findings rationalizes the connection between the of ESG performance and enterprise value in industries with high levels of pollution, as well as the pathway of impact.

Authors: Peta Katarzyna , Suszyński Marcin , Wiśniewski Marcin , Mitek Marcel
Published: March 2024

Analysis of the energy consumption of industrial robots during the implementation of a technological task can increase efficiency and minimize production costs, as well as extend the service life of robots, taking into account the rational use of energy sources. An important challenge in designing sustainable production processes is the selection of energy-saving technological equipment supporting the work of robots. Additionally, optimization of robot program codes, including parameters and robot movement paths, determines the energy efficiency of the robotic station. Welding is one of the most popular areas of process robotization due to its ability to increase production efficiency and improve the quality of part assembly compared to manual work. In these studies, an exemplary process of robotic welding of aluminum alloy parts was designed, analyzed, and optimized with an orientation towards sustainable development guidelines. This work also presents a review of current publications discussing the authors’ contribution to achieving energy efficiency in robotic welding processes. The purpose of this analysis is also to indicate directions for the development of future research work in order to minimize energy consumption in production processes with an appropriate level of product quality and increase production efficiency.
Spatial-Performance Evaluation of Primary Health Care Facilities: Evidence from Xi’an, China
Authors: Zhao Dan , Shao Liu , Li Jianwei , Shen Lina
Published: March 2024

Primary health care (PHC) facilities play a significant role in constructing a “people-oriented city” to promote sustainable urban development. However, existing studies exhibit gaps in the spatial-performance evaluation of PHC facilities at the block scale and in identifying spatial association types between facilities and the population. Therefore, we examined the elderly population, who rely heavily on PHC facilities, and developed a spatial-performance evaluation model for PHC facilities at the block scale using the Ga2SFCA method and the bivariate spatial autocorrelation method. The results revealed an evident concentric pattern and spatial mismatch between the accessibility of facilities and the elderly population. Facilities in the central area were inadequate due to the excessive density of the elderly population, whereas medical services in suburban areas were unsustainable due to poor accessibility. From a spatial-justice perspective, the spatial-performance evaluation at the block scale can identify spatial correlation types and distribution characteristics between PHC facilities and the elderly population.
Can Environmental, Social, and Governance Ratings Promote Green Innovation in Chinese Heavy Polluters? Perspectives from “Greening” Behaviors
Authors: Zhang Xing , Ji Mingcan , Wang Shujuan
Published: March 2024

Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) ratings are gaining momentum in China, but their capacity to induce green innovation among heavy polluters remains to be proven. Based on the green patent data from listed heavy-polluting enterprises in China from 2010 to 2020, this paper empirically analyzes the mechanism of ESG ratings and their impact on green innovation using a multi-temporal double-difference method. The findings indicate that ESG ratings effectively promote green innovation in heavily polluting firms. The mechanism test reflects that ESG ratings can enhance the enterprises’ green innovation capacities by alleviating their financing constraints and enhancing their corporate risk-taking abilities. Further analysis reveals that the incentive effect of ESG ratings on green innovation lies in considering both source control and end-of-pipe management by addressing their environmental responsibilities and actively engaging in green innovation activities. This facilitative effect is more significant in non-state-owned enterprises (NSOEs) and large-scale enterprises. Overall, these insights provide empirical evidence to advance green innovation in heavy-polluting enterprises.

Published: March 2024

Nowadays, introducing innovations is treated as a necessity to ensure market survival. However, this may be difficult, especially for food entrepreneurs whose innovations are strongly connected with tradition. The main aim of this study was to assess the innovation abilities and potential of traditional food producers in the context of the classic dilemma of innovation-and-tradition interplay. The surveyed food producers were from five Polish voivodeships belonging to the European Culinary Heritage Network. The study conducted 70 semi-structured interviews. The respondents were divided into two groups: the innovative and non-innovative groups. The statistical significance of the differences between the two groups was tested using a two-independent-samples t test. A comparison revealed significantly different average results for the following variables: general managerial education, business duration, sources of knowledge about traditions, profits and earnings, and own product brand. For the remaining variables (employment, sales range, financial capital sources, business goals in total, and own business), no significant differences were found between the mean results. Both tested hypotheses were verified to be valid. The vendors-producers of traditional food in this study showed innovative abilities and untapped innovation potential.

Many different animal species are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2, including a few Canidae (domestic dog and raccoon dog). So far, only experimental evidence is available concerning SARS-CoV-2 infections in red foxes (Vulpes vulpes). This is the first report of SARS-CoV-2 RNA detection in a sample from a red fox. The RT-qPCR-positive fox was zoo-kept together with another fox and two bears in the Swiss Canton of Zurich. Combined material from a conjunctival and nasal swab collected for canine distemper virus diagnostics tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 RNA with Ct values of 36.9 (E gene assay) and 35.7 (RdRp gene assay). The sample was analysed for SARS-CoV-2 within a research project testing residual routine diagnostic samples from different animal species submitted between spring 2020 and December 2022 to improve knowledge on SARS-CoV-2 infections within different animal species and investigate their potential role in a One Health context. Within this project, 246 samples from 153 different animals from Swiss zoos and other wild animal species all tested SARS-CoV-2 RT-qPCR and/or serologically negative so far, except for the reported fox. The source of SARS-CoV-2 in the fox is unknown. The fox disappeared within the naturally structured enclosure, and the cadaver was not found. No further control measures were undertaken.

Authors: Konakci Nevin
Published: March 2024

Pollutants accumulate in aquatic habitats due to mining activities. The duckweed family includes water plants such as Lemna gibba and Lemna minor, which are tiny, delicate, free-floating aquatic plants. L. minor and L. gibba were used in this study to examine the accumulation capacities of Mo4+, Pb++, and Cu++ in acidic fluids from copper mining. Two reactors were assigned to L. gibba and L. minor, respectively. These plants and the reactor water were gathered daily for 8 days. Acid mine water pH, temperature, and electric conductivity were also tested daily. L. gibba and L. minor were cleaned, dehydrated, and burned in a drying oven for a whole day at 300 °C. ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy) was used to determine the Mo4+, Pb++, and Cu++ content of the plant and water samples. The Mo, Pb, and Cu concentrations in the copper mining acidic fluids were 30 ± 4, 260 ± 12, and 15,535 ± 322 μg L−1, respectively. Regarding Mo, Pb, and Cu extraction from copper mining acidic fluids, L. gibba and L. minor performed more efficiently than control samples, gathering 29 and 177 times more Mo, 30 and 109 times more Pb, and 495 and 1150 times more Cu, respectively. Considering these findings, L. gibba and L. minor are good plants for rehabilitating polluted waters and can efficiently remove Mo, Pb, and Cu from acid mine fluids.

Air sangat berguna untuk kepentingan rumah tangga, industri, maupun tempat umum yang lainnya. Penggunaan air bersih di industri tekstil ini digunakan untuk mencuci peralatan makan dan pengolahan bahan makanan. Hasil pemeriksaan laboratorium pada air bersih yang digunakan mengandung bakteri Escherichia coli sebanyak 41 APM/100 ml, sehingga air bersih tidak memenuhi persyaratan karena melebihi nilai ambang batas, sehingga perlu dilakukan pengolahan air bersih dengan menggunakan teknologi membran Reverse Osmosis (RO). Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu untuk mengetahui perbedaan penurunan jumlah bakteri Escherichia coli dengan berbagai variasi tekanan air setelah diberi perlakuan dengan membran RO. Penelitian ini menggunakan tekanan air sebesar 2 bar, 2,5 bar dan 3 bar. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimental dengan disain penelitian yang digunakan adalah Pre test post test without control, teknik pengambilan sampel yang digunakan yaitu grab sampling. Analisa penurunan jumlah bakteri Escherichia coli dilakukan secara deskriptif. Tekanan air yang digunakan mampu menurukan bakteri Escherichia coli hingga 0 APM/100 ml, hal ini dapat terjadi karena pori-pori membran RO lebih kecil dibandingkan ukuran bakteri Escherchia coli.  Kesimpulan dalam penelitian ini yaitu terdapat perbedaan dari variasi tekanan yang digunakan pada membran RO terhadap penurunan jumlah bakteri Escherichia coli pada air bersih. Untuk penelitian selanjutnya diharapkan untuk mengganti membran RO setiap melakukan pengujian untuk menghindari kondisi jenuh pada membran RO.

Published: March 2024

The mukhabarah bil mudharabah contract originates from a combination of two contracts, namely the mukhabarah contract and the mudharabah contract which are combined into one in the sugar cane farming partnership model. The formation of this contract is a new thing that is used as an effort to increase national sugar production by forming fair cooperation based on sharia contracts, however, the concept related to mukhabarah bil mudharabah contracts has not been concretely accommodated in statutory regulations, so this research aims to examine the regulation of mukhabarah bil mudharabah contracts in sugar cane farming partnership based on an epistemogical perspective. The research method used is normative juridical with a statutory and conceptual approach. The theory used is stufenbau theory. The results of this research indicate that at the meta-norm and grundnorm level there is already a legal basis for regulation regarding mukhabarah bil mudharabah contracts. The legal basis for regulating these contracts is also found at the level of Staatsfundamentalnorm norms and the level of Staatsgrundgezets norms, namely in the basic state regulations contained in Article 29 paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution, but at the next level there are only regulations regarding mudharabah contracts, while the mukhabarah contract has not been specifically regulated in the statutory regulations or other regulations below it.

ABSTRACT

The increasing rate of population growth in the 21st century era has become a separate problem for countries in the world. Indonesia is the fourth most populous country in the world, China, India and the United States. The high rate of population growth that is not accompanied by an increase in the quality of the population, the Indonesian government makes efforts to handle and control population growth by implementing the Family Planning program to improve the welfare of mothers and children and create happy and prosperous small families. The purpose of this study was to determine how the fertile couple's decision not to participate in the family planning program at the Kapan Health Center. This type of research is a qualitative research with an exploratory design. The selection of informants used purposive sampling, collecting ten people, namely PUS mothers who were recorded as not actively using family planning, married, >35 years old and had >3 children. Collecting data by means of in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. Data were analyzed and presented in the form of narrative text. The results showed that husband/family support influenced the mother's decision not to use family planning, health/family planning officers provided information about family planning through direct counseling and mass media, most of the informants chose not to participate in family planning because of the perceived side effects and the use of natural family planning. The results of the writing can be obtained with the key that EFA's decision not to participate in the family planning program is motivated by the support of the husband/family and the mother feels that it is not suitable for the family planning used and the natural use of family planning. Therefore, it is hoped that the role of the public health center can involve the role of the husband in providing information about the importance of the family planning program for families so as to increase the participation of EFA in the family planning program.

Teresy Ferenc wiersze dla dzieci
Authors: Wądolny-Tatar Katarzyna
Published: March 2024

Poezja dla dorosłych autorki Wypalonej doliny ufundowana jest na traumatycznych doświadczeniach przeszłości. Teresa Ferenc w dzieciństwie (w 1943 roku) przeżyła pacyfikację rodzinnej wsi na Zamojszczyźnie i śmierć rodziców. W twórczości dla dorosłych poetka powraca do tych wydarzeń, kodując je w wyobrażeniach miejsc i osób. Doświadczenia Ferenc dają się też fenograficznie rozpoznać w utworach jej bliskich: Zbigniewa Jankowskiego i córek obojga. Poezja i proza (np. Mała zagłada) starszej z nich, Anny Janko, jest nawet przedmiotem badań w obszarze studiów nad pamięcią, jej epigenetyką, narracją postpamięciową. Znamienne, że w wierszach dla dzieci Ferenc separuje małego odbiorcę od obrazów wojennego zła i własnej pamięci autobiograficznej. Uprawia poetykę wzrostu i relacji, która jest w istocie hołdem dla życia, jego afirmacją. Wskazuje na naturalny rozwój i wspólnotową („ludzko-nie-ludzką”) więź jako uniwersalne czynniki sprzyjające dobrostanowi dziecka, przekładające się też na jego kontakt z otoczeniem, oparty na uważnej i czułej obserwacji, troskliwości i odpowiedzialności. W książkach poetyckich: Najbliższa ojczyzna (1982, il.  Majchrzak) oraz Drzewo dziwo (1987, il.  Kurłowicz). Ferenc stosuje fokalizacyjną zmienność opisu, przyglądając się cyklowi przyrody i zachodzącym w niej zjawiskom (jak burza czy hydrodynamika morza), nie tracąc z pola widzenia drobin rzeczywistości (jak pestka, płatek śniegu, liść), do których, przy zastosowaniu ruchomej skali i perspektywy, należy niekiedy także jednostka ludzka. Poezja Ferenc wymusza uwagę dla świata, ujawnia więzi i sploty pomiędzy podmiotami i przedmiotami, uwypukla ich relacyjny charakter. Sprawstwo jest tu podyktowane czynnikami naturalnymi, biotycznością czy wegetacyjnością, ale wynika również z aktu tworzenia i metarefleksji, nierzadko nakładanych na te pierwsze sfery. Większość utworów, które złożyły się na obie książki poetyckie, miała swój pierwodruk w latach 70. i 80. XX wieku na łamach „Świerszczyka” i/lub „Głosu Pomorza”. Wybrane wiersze Ferenc weszły w skład znanych antologii poezji dla dzieci, co świadczy o popularności wierszy sopockiej poetki i uznaniu dla jej twórczości adresowanej do najmłodszych w tamtym czasie.
Optimalisasi Dua Layanan Jaringan Internet Menggunakan Teknik Load Balancing dengan Metode Peer Connection Classifier (PCC) (Studi Kasus: Jaringan Internet Desa Banyuanyar Boyolali)
Authors: Hafizh Afrianton Noor , Sulistyo Wiwin
Published: March 2024

Load Balancing is a technique for distributing data traffic so that the workload is distributed evenly on 2 or more networks to maximize resource usage and improve performance. There are two ISPs for internet access services to the Banyuanyar Village Office, Boyolali, both of which have different bandwidths, namely from PT. Telkom has 100Mbps bandwidth and Kominfo has 50Mbps bandwidth. So here there will be dense network traffic if the internet network is not optimized.. In this case, it can be optimized using load balancing techniques on both ISPs by using the Peer Connection Classifier technique to group traffic and divide the load on both internet connection lines so as not to overload. So it can be concluded that by adding a proxy router device, configuring load balancing, and applying a hierarchical network-based network topology, it will optimize two internet network services at Banyuanyar Village Hall, Boyolali.

One of the therapeutic management of LBP is Triamcinolone trigger point injection. Until now, research on the effect of Triamcinolone trigger point injection on changes in TNF-α levels and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores in Non-Specific LBP patients is still limited.
Objective: To analyze the effect of Triamcinolone trigger point injection on changes in TNF-α levels and ODI scores before and after Triamcinolone trigger point injection in Non-Specific LBP patients.
Methods: This is a quasi-experimental analytic observational study with a pre and post-test group design approach. Subjects were diagnosed with Non-Specific LBP who had met the inclusion criteria (acute pain less than 3 months, patient age 30-55 years, moderate-severe pain intensity, had never received a Triamcinolone trigger point injection) with the exclusion criteria patients experiencing severe pain. not only caused by NPB. The study subjects were checked for TNF-α levels and ODI scores before and after the Triamcinolone trigger point injection. Then a paired T-test was carried out.
Results: During the study period September - November 2022 at the Neurology Outpatient Polyclinic, RSUP Dr. Kariadi Semarang obtained 32 subjects. There was a significant difference between changes in TNF-α levels before and after Triamcinolone trigger point injection (p=0.000). There was a significant difference in ODI scores before and after the Triamcinolone trigger point injection (p=0.000). There was no significant relationship between the risk factors for gender, occupation, BMI, physiotherapy, and changes in TNF-α levels with changes in the ODI score.
Conclusion: There is a significant difference in changes in TNF-α levels and ODI scores before and after Triamcinolone trigger point injection.

Diabetes adalah sekelompok penyakit metabolik kronis yang berhubungan dengan gangguan metabolisme karbohidrat, lemak dan protein. Literatur riview artikel ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan efektivitas pengobatan diabetes mellitus secara obat sintesis yaitu metformin dengan obat herbal yaitu Daun Benalu Pada Kayu Jawa   (Dendrophthoe   petandra L.), Daun Pandan Wangi ( Pandanus amaryllifolius, Daun Yakon (Smallanthus sonchifolius), Kayu Manis (Cinnamomum cassia) dan Brotowali (Tinospora crispa (L) Miers. Berdasarkan perbandingan tersebut diperoleh hasil yang signifikan mengingat penderita diabetes mellitus harus mengkonsumsi obat dalam jangka waktu yang lama, sehingga perlu dikombinasikan antara obat sintesis dengan obat herbal. Pemberian ekstrak kayu manis paling efektif dalam menurunkan glukosa darah karena dengan pemberian konsentrasi terendah dapat menurunkan dan menstabilkan kadar glukosa darah.
The dark sugar factory – is it a feasible vision on the horizon?
Authors: Langhans Bernd
Published: March 2024

The everyday discussion in industrial operations globally revolves around artificial intelligence, model-based control, and other similar digitally oriented topics. The question looms on whether a manpower-free sugar factory is possible one day. What is needed, and what is possible today?
Even though evaporation crystallization in batch pans is a long-proven and fully automatic operation, demand is growing for a better understanding of how to operate a sugar house under optimized conditions.
That is becoming more imperative as the “old hands” leave the factories and take experience with them.
Experience is not easily replaced, but modern tools combining process automation with machine learning or AI components allow for a rapid learning curve and substantial support for day-to-day operations.
This paper shines light on the need to not only investigate the parameters of the sugar house alone but that a plant-wide approach is needed to really understand what the right tuning points for optimized sugar house operations are

Starting from the editorial committee’s proposal concerning strategies for the recognition of Global South researches, in this letter I indicate a number of broader impasses related to neoliberal academia in a context in which ecological crisis emerges as a major crisis of capital. To do so, I resort to concepts drawn from feminist, decolonial, and post-structuralist literature and bring them into dialogue with a Marxist framework of analysis.
Application of Clifford Algebra on Group Theory
Authors: Inamdar Farooqhusain , S. N. Hasan
Published: March 2024

The orthogonal operators defined as similarity transformations on Euclidean space E can also be considered as group actions on the Clifford Algebra. In this paper, we investigate the finite subgroup of Euclidian space E of Geometric Algebra over a finite dimension vector space E. The hierarchy of the finite subgroups of Clifford Algebra C(E) is depicted through the lattice structure and we discussed the group action of these subgroups on the vector space E. Further, we shall address the number of non-trivial finite subgroups, Normal subgroups, and subnormal series of the subgroup of Clifford Algebra C(E) constructed over the vector space E by performing group action  over the subgroup  of Clifford Algebra C(E).
A Relational Approach to Event Sustainability: Applying Actor‐Network Theory and Foucauldian Discourse Analysis to a Music Event
Authors: Bertella Giovanna , Tomassini Lucia
Published: March 2024

The framing of event sustainability should go beyond the greening of specific events and the event sector. Based on a relational approach, we used actor‐network theory and Foucauldian discourse analysis to investigate the debate on a music event sustainability. We collected and
discursively analyzed online newspapers and social media data regarding this event’s sustainability. The findings showed a polarized discourse characterized by conflicting views on, for example, nature, and three missing discourses–academic, local community, nonhuman–which
we identified as alternative discourses and leverage points for greater sustainability. These findings allowed us to conceptualize event sustainability as a catalyzing network of actors, ideas, and relationships attracted to magnetic poles powered by different understandings of central concepts.
This study proposes an understanding of event sustainability in relational terms and its contribution resides in the combination of actor‐network theory and Foucauldian discourse analysis as a possible approach to such understanding.

Electronically Tunable Sinusoidal Oscillator Using Only Single Current-Controlled Current Conveyor Trans-Conductance Amplifier
Authors: Bisariya Shailendra , Afzal Neelofer
Published: March 2024

This work presents a wide frequency range sinusoidal oscillator design that relies on only one active component, a current-controlled current conveyor trans-conductance amplifier, and a few passive components. It just employs two grounded and non-floating capacitors and one resistor to complete the procedure. This design has the advantage of allowing the oscillation frequency and condition to be adjusted not only electronically, but also separately, without affecting the values of any passive components. To verify the functionality and usefulness of the developed sinusoidal oscillator circuit, ORCAD PSPICE simulations are done using 0.18 um process parameters for complementary metal oxide semiconductor technology. The obtained results demonstrate its application to a wide range of frequency generation without the need for additional components, hence validating the theoretical expectation.

Published: March 2024

Endoscopic resection (ER) of colorectal polyps has become a daily practice in most endoscopic units providing a colorectal cancer screening program and requires the availability of local experts and high-end endoscopic devices. ER procedures have evolved over the past few years from endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) to more advanced techniques, such as endoscopic submucosal dissection and endo-scopic full-thickness resection. Complete resection and disease eradication are the ultimate goals of ER-based techniques, and novel devices have been developed to achieve these goals. The EndoRotor® Endoscopic Powered Resection System (Interscope Medical, Inc., Northbridge, Massachusetts, United States) is one such device. The EndoRotor is a powered resection tool for the removal of alimentary tract mucosa, including post-EMR persistent lesions with scarring, and has both CE Mark and FDA clearance. This review covers available published evidence documenting the usefulness of EndoRotor for the management of recurrent colorectal polyps.
