Perubahan Kerapatan Vegetasi dan Penutup Lahan Terhadap Urban Heat Island (UHI) di Kota Bekasi
Authors: Handayanto Rahmadya Trias , Haryono  , Herlawati
Published: July 2023

The replacement of vegetation by roads, buildings, and other structures leads to increased absorption and reflection of solar heat, resulting in elevated surface temperatures in urban areas. This leads to the formation of more hotspots, triggering changes in weather and climate, which are key indicators of the Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon. UHI refers to the phenomenon where urban areas experience higher temperatures compared to their surrounding areas. The primary factor influencing UHI is the conversion of vegetated land cover into developed areas due to urban growth. This causes an increase in surface temperatures due to a reduction in vegetation density and an increase in building density. Changes in land cover within the study area can be identified using unsupervised classification analysis, followed by the analysis of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) to assess the vegetation index's impact on Land Surface Temperature (LST) and determine the surface temperature of Bekasi city. Accordingly, the objective of this research is to analyze the Urban Heat Island in Bekasi city using a quantitative approach that utilizes Landsat satellite imagery. The results indicate that the temperature in Bekasi city ranges from 25 to 31 degrees Celsius.

Abstrak
Pergantian vegetasi oleh jalan, bangunan, dan struktur lainnya menyebabkan peningkatan penyerapan dan pantulan panas matahari, yang mengakibatkan kenaikan suhu permukaan di kota. Akibatnya, terbentuk lebih banyak titik panas yang memicu perubahan cuaca dan iklim, yang menjadi pemicu terjadinya Urban Heat Island (UHI). UHI adalah fenomena di mana wilayah perkotaan mengalami suhu yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan wilayah sekitarnya. Faktor utama yang mempengaruhi terjadinya UHI adalah konversi lahan vegetasi menjadi area perkotaan akibat pembangunan kota. Hal ini menyebabkan peningkatan suhu permukaan karena berkurangnya kerapatan vegetasi dan peningkatan kerapatan bangunan. Perubahan tutupan lahan di dalam area penelitian dapat diidentifikasi melalui analisis klasifikasi tak terbimbing, diikuti oleh analisis Indeks Vegetasi Perbedaan Ternormalisasi (NDVI) untuk mengetahui pengaruh indeks vegetasi terhadap Suhu Permukaan Tanah (LST) dan menentukan suhu permukaan kota Bekasi. Dengan demikian, tujuan penelitian adalah untuk menganalisis Urban Heat Island di kota Bekasi dengan pendekatan kuantitatif yang menggunakan citra satelit Landsat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa suhu kota Bekasi berkisar antara 25 hingga 31 derajat Celsius.

Does Corporate Social Responsibility Reporting/ Communication Matter? Employees’ Perception of the Corporate Social Responsibility and Competitive Advantage of Banking Corporations
Authors: Chan Tak Jie , Huam Hon Tat , Mohd Hasan Nurul Ain
Published: July 2023

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become an area of research in strategic communication management. However, most studies are focused on CSR practices, but the perception of internal stakeholders (employees) on how they perceived CSR practices by the company as well as the study of CSR reporting/ communication were sparse in the literature. Thus, this study aims to examine the mediating role of CSR reporting/ communication on the relationship between employees’ perception of the CSR and competitive advantage of banking companies in Malaysia. The study applied Resource-Based Views (RBV) theory to guide the study. A quantitative (survey) design was utilized and 174 useful responses were obtained from the employees of the banking corporations understudied. The findings found that perception of CSR influences the competitive advantage and CSR reporting/communication positively. Besides, the linkage between CSR reporting/ communication and competitive advantage was also found significantly related, and the study empirically established that CSR reporting/ communication is a significant mediator in the relationship between perceived CSR and competitive advantage. The study has urged the management of the banking corporations to actively publish their CSR initiatives through the annual reports, official company website, and social media as a way to communicate the company's sustainable initiatives to their stakeholders which makes them distinctive compared to their rivals. Conclusion, implications, and future study suggestions were discussed

Published: July 2023

Furfural is one of the one of pollutants in refinery industrial wastewaters. In this study advanced oxidation process using UV/H2O2 was investigated for furfural degradation in synthetic wastewater. The results from the experimental work showed that the degradation of furfural decreases as its concentration increases, reaching 100% at 50mg/l furfural concentration and increasing the concentration of H2O2 from 250 to 500 mg/l increased furfural removal from 40 to 60%.The degradation of furfural reached 100% after 90 min exposure time using two UV lamps, where it reached 60% using one lamp after 240 min exposure time. The rate of furfural degradation k increased at the pH and initial concentration of furfural decreased, but different H2O2concentrations indicated no significant effects on the reaction rate. UV/H2O2 process is effective for furfural degradation in wastewater at neutral pH where the disposal of such effluents will be within the environmental limitations.

Authors: Abdulrazak Ayad A. , Al-Khatieb Mohammed , Faris Haidar A.
Published: July 2023

Drag has long been identified as the main reason for the loss of energy in fluid transmission like pipelines and other similar transportation channels. The main contributor to this drag is the viscosity as well as friction against the pipe walls, which will results in more pumping power consumption.

   The aim in this study was first to understand the role of additives in the viscosity reduction and secondly to evaluate the drag reduction efficiency when blending with different solvents.

   This research investigated flow increase (%FI) in heavy oil at different flow rates (2 to 10 m3/hr) in two pipes (0.0381 m & 0.0508 m) ID By using different additives (toluene and naphtha) with different concentrations (2, 4, 6, 8 and 10) wt. % at 35ᵒ C.

The results of this study showed the following:

Increasing values of Dr% and FI% for all drag reducing agents with heavy oil. Increasing values of Dr% with increasing of Reynolds number, fluid velocity and additive concentration.

With the larger pipe diameter, performances of drag reduction occur is much better than smaller pipe diameter.

The additives (toluene and naphtha) reduce the high viscosity of used heavy oil.

Naphtha is more efficient as viscosity reducer than toluene. Finally, all these results help the understanding of the flow properties of heavy oils and aim to contribute to the improvement of their transport.

Authors: Mohammed Sawsan A.M. , Hameed Mohammed Saadi
Published: July 2023

Room temperature ionic liquids show potential as an alternative to conventional organic membrane solvents mainly due to their properties of low vapour pressure, low volatility and they are often stable. In the present work, the technical feasibilities of room temperature ionic liquids as bulk liquid membranes for phenol removal were investigated experimentally. In this research several hydrophobic ionic liquids were synthesized at laboratory. These ionic liquids include (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide[Bmim][NTf2], 1-Hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide[Hmim][NTf2], 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide[Omim][NTf2],1‐butyl‐1‐methylimidazoliumhexafluorophosphate[Bmim][PF6],    

   1‐hexyl‐1‐methylimidazoliumhexafluorophosphate[Hmim][PF6], 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide[Bmpyr][NTf2], and 1-octyl-3-methyl imidazolium tetra fluoroborate[Omim][BF4].

   The distribution coefficients for phenol in these ionic liquids were measured at different pH values and found to be much larger than those in conventional solvents. Through the values of the distribution coefficients and the experiments that were conducted on bulk liquid membrane applying various types of prepared ionic liquids, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide was selected as the best ionic liquid which gave the highest extraction and stripping efficiencies.

   The effect of several parameters, namely, feed phase pH(2-12), feed concentration(100-1000 ppm), NaOH concentration(0-0.5M), temperature (20-50oC), feed to membrane volume ratio (200-400ml/80ml ionic liquid) and stirring speeds(75-125 rpm) on the performance of the choosen ionic liquid membrane were also studied.    

   The preliminary study showed that high phenol extraction and stripping efficiencies of 97% and 95% respectively were achieved by ionic liquid membrane with a minimum membrane loss which offers a better choice to organic membrane solvents.

Published: July 2023

Enhanced oil recovery is used in many mature oil reservoirs to increase the oil recovery factor. Surfactant flooding has recently gained interest again. To create micro emulsions at the interface between crude oil and water, surfactant flooding is the injection of surfactants (and co-surfactants) into the reservoir, thus achieving very low interfacial tension, which consequently assists mobilize the trapped oil.

In this study a flooding system, which has been  manufactured and described at high pressure. The flooding processes included oil, water and surfactants. 15 core holders has been prepared at first stage of the experiment and  filled with washed sand grains 80-500 mm and then packing the sand to obtain sand packs samples for experiment. It was found that the best rate for water injection was 1.2 PV. Productively, while the optimum injection rate was 1.0 PV economically.

The study observed that the cost of water injection in secondary recovery increased 700% when PV injected increased from 1.0 PV to 8.0 PV, while the recovery increased only about 8% (58.77 – 66.7%).

The effects of  concentration, salinity and temperature is also explored by examined many values of each parameter according to surface tension by using capillary rise method. It was found that the optimum conditions for surfactant flooding for sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) 0.01 molar for concentration, 5500 P.P.M for salinity and 70 °C for temperatures. These conditions was used  to all kinds of surfactants that have been used in this study.

The study results indicated that the best surfactant in both productively and economically was SDS with maximum recovery about 90% for each secondary and tertiary recovery and the optimum injection volume for all surfactants 1.2 PV .

Another 12 Core holders with fixed pore volume were prepared for the second stage of the experiment. At this stage the pore volume was approximately constant and the variation included different values of SDS concentrations (0.1 and 0.001 Molar) and different values of salinity (1000 P.P.M and 3000 P.P.M) and temperature equal to  90 °C. Each value for concentration was experimented with the two values of salinity which in result obtaining four flooding conditions. Each condition was flooded by three injection rates (50, 120, 200 %). The results proved the results obtained from the first stage.

Published: July 2023

Industrial wastewater containing nickel, lead, and copper can be produced by many industries. The reverse osmosis (RO) membrane technologies are very efficient for the treatment of industrial wastewater containing nickel, lead, and copper ions to reduce water consumption and preserving the environment. Synthetic industrial wastewater samples containing Ni(II), Pb(II), and Cu(II) ions at various concentrations (50 to 200 ppm), pressures (1 to 4 bar), temperatures (10 to 40 oC), pH (2 to 5.5), and flow rates (10 to 40 L/hr), were prepared and subjected to treatment by RO system in the laboratory. The results showed that high removal efficiency of the heavy metals could be achieved by RO process (98.5%, 97.5% and 96% for Ni(II), Pb(II) and Cu(II) ions respectively). The permeate flux for all H.M ions was ranged between (10 to 56 L/m2.hr). The low level of the heavy metals concentration in the permeate implies that water with good quality could be reclaimed for further reuse. The RO membrane is characterized by very high efficiency as the H.M. ions removal of up to (97%) with good productivity and medium pressure that means a medium cost of the RO system.

Published: July 2023

Kabel diproduksi dengan metallic sheath yang merupakan selubung metalik untuk ketahanan terhadap benturan agar terhindar dari kerusakan mekanis. Ketika kabel dialiri listrik, terjadi tegangan induksi dari konduktor inti ke metallic sheath yang ditanahkan. Studi kasus ini dilaksanakan di PLTU FTP 2 Lombok, dimana saat switching capacitor bank beroperasi maka terjadi transien tegangan secara cepat dan dapat mengakibatkan kenaikan suhu serta kegagalan jangka panjang pada kabel transmisi. Sheath voltage limiter perlu ditambahkan pada salah satu ujung kabel dengan instalasi teknik single point bonding dengan maksud untuk mencegah tegangan induksi pada selubung kabel. Sheath voltage limiter merupakan perangkat pelindung dari lonjakan tegangan yang terhubung antara metallic sheath dan ground. Simulasi ATP-EMTP (Alternative Transients Program – Electromagnetic Transients Program) digunakan untuk mengetahui keefektifitasan shealt voltage limiter dalam mereduksi nilai tegangan induksi pada metalic shelath cable. Hasil dari simulasi menunjukan dengan pemasangan SVL di sisi pembangkit dapat mereduksi nilai tegangan induksi pada kondisi normal sebesar 87.2% dan saat terjadi transien sebesar 89.58% - 94.53%.
Application of mNGS in the study of pulmonary microbiome in pneumoconiosis complicated with pulmonary infection patients and exploration of potential biomarkers
Authors: Yuan Xingya , Xie Linshen , Shi Zhenzhen , Zhou Min
Published: July 2023

Background

Pneumoconiosis patients have a high prevalence of pulmonary infections, which can complicate diagnosis and treatment. And there is no comprehensive study of the microbiome of patients with pneumoconiosis. The application of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) fills the gap to some extent by analyzing the lung microbiota of pneumoconiosis population while achieving accurate diagnosis.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed 44 patients with suspected pneumoconiosis complicated with pulmonary infection between Jan 2020 and Nov 2022. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) specimens from 44 patients were collected and tested using the mNGS technology.

Results

Among the lung microbiome of pneumoconiosis patients with complicated pulmonary infection (P group), the most frequently detected bacteria and fungi at the genus level were Streptococcus and Aspergillus, at the species level were Streptococcus pneumoniae and Aspergillus flavus, respectively, and the most frequently detected DNA virus was Human gammaherpesvirus 4. There was no significant difference in α diversity between the P group and the non-pneumoconiosis patients complicated with pulmonary infection group (Non-P group) in pulmonary flora, while P< 0.01 for β diversity analysis, and the differential species between the two groups were Mycobacterium colombiense and Fusobacterium nucleatum. In addition, we monitored a high distribution of Malassezia and Pneumocystis in the P group, while herpes virus was detected in the majority of samples.

Conclusions

Overall, we not only revealed a comprehensive lung microbiome profile of pneumoconiosis patients, but also compared the differences between their microbiome and that of non-pneumoconiosis complicated with pulmonary infection patients. This provides a good basis for a better understanding of the relationship between pneumoconiosis and microorganisms, and for the search of potential biomarkers.

Published: July 2023

China is one of the major mariculture countries for shellfish in the world and provides more than 70% of the total global shellfish production. However, there is limited knowledge of the potential driving factors of the ecosystem service value of mariculture shellfish in China. Understanding what factors and how they drive the ecosystem can provide reference for further improving the ecosystem service value of mariculture shellfish, which is both theoretically and practically important for promoting the development of marine fishery economy in China. In this study, data of six major mariculture shellfish species in nine coastal provinces of China from 2009 to 2020 were analyzed using a structural equation modeling approach to quantify the effects of resource distribution characteristics and market demand on the ecosystem service value of mariculture shellfish in China. The results indicated that both resource distribution characteristics and market demand are important driving factors of the ecosystem service value of mariculture shellfish in China. Specifically, from the perspective of path coefficient, market demand plays a more important role (0.58) than resource distribution characteristics (0.36) in influencing the ecosystem service value of mariculture shellfish in China. Therefore, the research results for shellfish marine culture can be summarized as: (1) to actively respond to changes in shellfish market demand, (2) to enhance development planning for coastal shellfish cultivation area, and (3) to strengthen systematic management of mariculture shellfish resources. Results of this study could provide theoretical support and serve as a basis for promoting sustainable development of shellfish culturing industry and fisheries economy in China.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative agent of COVID-19, is heavily reliant on its natural ability to “hack” the host’s genetic and biological pathways. The genetic susceptibility of the host is a key factor underlying the severity of the disease. Polygenic risk scores are essential for risk assessment, risk stratification, and the prevention of adverse outcomes. In this study, we aimed to assess and analyze the genetic predisposition to severe COVID-19 in a large representative sample of the Russian population as well as to build a reliable but simple polygenic risk score model with a lower margin of error. Another important goal was to learn more about the pathogenesis of severe COVID-19. We examined the tertiary structure of the FYCO1 protein, the only gene with mutations in its coding region and discovered changes in the coiled-coil domain. Our findings suggest that FYCO1 may accelerate viral intracellular replication and excessive exocytosis and may contribute to an increased risk of severe COVID-19. We found significant associations between COVID-19 and LZTFL1, FYCO1, XCR1, CCR9, TMLHE-AS1, and SCYL2 at 3p21.31. Our findings further demonstrate the polymorphic nature of the severe COVID-19 phenotype.

Background

Long COVID syndrome has emerged as a new global healthcare challenge, with impaired physical performance being a prominent debilitating factor. Cardiopulmonary rehabilitation is a mainstay of management of symptomatic post-COVID patients, and optimization of candidate selection might allow for more effective use of available resources.

Methods

In order to study the natural dynamics and to identify predictors of physical functional recovery following hospitalization for COVID-19, 6 min walk test was performed pre-discharge in 176 patients (40% hypertensive, 53% female, mean age 53.2 ± 13.5 years) with re-evaluation at 1 month.

Results

Six min walk distance and the reached percent of predicted distance (6MWD%) were suboptimal at both visits—396 ± 71 m (68.7 ± 12.4%) pre-discharge and 466 ± 65 m (81.8 ± 13.6%) at 1 month. Associated changes included significant oxygen desaturation (2.9 ± 2.5 and 2.3 ± 2.2%, respectively) and insufficient increment of heart rate during the test (24.9 ± 17.5 and 28.2 ± 12.0 bpm) that resulted in low reached percent of individual maximum heart rate (61.1 ± 8.1 and 64.3 ± 8.2%). Automatic clusterization of the study cohort by the 6MWD% changes has allowed to identify the subgroup of patients with poor “low base—low increment” trajectory of spontaneous post-discharge recovery that were characterized by younger age (38.2 ± 11.0 vs. 54.9 ± 12.1, p < 0.001) but more extensive pulmonary involvement by CT (43.7 ± 8.8 vs. 29.6 ± 19.4%, p = 0.029) and higher peak ESR values (36.5 ± 9.7 vs. 25.6 ± 12.8, p < 0.001). Predictors of poor recovery in multivariate logistic regression analysis included age, peak ESR, eGFR, percentage of pulmonary involvement by CT, need for in-hospital oxygen supplementation, SpO2 and mMRC dyspnea score pre-discharge, and history of hypertension.

Conclusion

COVID-19 survivors were characterized by decreased physical performance pre-discharge as assessed by the 6 min walk test and did not completely restore their functional status after 1 month of spontaneous recovery, with signs of altered blood oxygenation and dysautonomia contributing to the observed changes. Patients with poor “low base—low increment” trajectory of post-discharge recovery were characterized by younger age but more extensive pulmonary involvement and higher peak ESR values. Poor post-discharge recovery in the study cohort was predictable by the means of machine learning-based classification model that used age, history of hypertension, need for oxygen supplementation, and ESR as inputs.

Long COVID syndrome, also known as post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC), is characterized by persistent symptoms lasting 3–12 weeks post SARS-CoV-2 infection. Patients suffering from PASC can display a myriad of symptoms that greatly diminish quality of life, the most frequent being neuropsychiatric. Thus, there is an eminent need to diagnose and treat PASC related neuropsychiatric manifestation (neuro-PASC). Evidence suggests that liquid biomarkers could potentially be used in the diagnosis and monitoring of patients. Undoubtedly, such biomarkers would greatly benefit clinicians in the management of patients; however, it remains unclear if these can be reliably used in this context. In this mini review, we highlight promising liquid (blood and cerebrospinal fluid) biomarkers, namely, neuronal injury biomarkers NfL, GFAP, and tau proteins as well as neuroinflammatory biomarkers IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, and CPR associated with neuro-PASC and discuss their limitations in clinical applicability.
A review of combined neuromodulation and physical therapy interventions for enhanced neurorehabilitation
Authors: Evancho Alexandra , Tyler William J. , McGregor Keith
Published: July 2023

Rehabilitation approaches for individuals with neurologic conditions have increasingly shifted toward promoting neuroplasticity for enhanced recovery and restoration of function. This review focuses on exercise strategies and non-invasive neuromodulation techniques that target neuroplasticity, including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), and peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS). We have chosen to focus on non-invasive neuromodulation techniques due to their greater potential for integration into routine clinical practice. We explore and discuss the application of these interventional strategies in four neurological conditions that are frequently encountered in rehabilitation settings: Parkinson’s Disease (PD), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), stroke, and Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). Additionally, we discuss the potential benefits of combining non-invasive neuromodulation with rehabilitation, which has shown promise in accelerating recovery. Our review identifies studies that demonstrate enhanced recovery through combined exercise and non-invasive neuromodulation in the selected patient populations. We primarily focus on the motor aspects of rehabilitation, but also briefly address non-motor impacts of these conditions. Additionally, we identify the gaps in current literature and barriers to implementation of combined approaches into clinical practice. We highlight areas needing further research and suggest avenues for future investigation, aiming to enhance the personalization of the unique neuroplastic responses associated with each condition. This review serves as a resource for rehabilitation professionals and researchers seeking a comprehensive understanding of neuroplastic exercise interventions and non-invasive neuromodulation techniques tailored for specific diseases and diagnoses.

Background

Aortic arch malformations (AAMs) should be suspected in the presence of persistent respiratory symptoms despite medical treatment or feeding problems at the pediatric age.

Aim

We report a descriptive cohort of patients with AAMs and the local management protocol applied.

Methods

A total of 59 patients with AAM were retrospectively reviewed. Three groups were identified: double aortic arch (DAA), group 1; complete vascular ring (non-DAA), group 2; and anomalous origin of the innominate artery (IA), group 3.

Results

Prenatal diagnosis was available for 62.7% of the patients. In all, 49.2% of children were symptomatic. There was a significantly different prevalence of respiratory symptoms within the three groups: 73.7% in group 1, 24.2% in group 2, and 100% in group 3 (p-value: <0.001). Surgery was considered in the presence of symptoms in patients with DAA and in those with reduction of the tracheal section area greater than 50%. A total of 52.5% of the patients underwent surgical repair (median age 6 months). The median follow-up interval was 21.9 months. Respiratory symptoms improved in most symptomatic patients.

Conclusions

No specific protocols are available for the management of patients with AAMs. Conservative treatment seems to be reasonable for asymptomatic patients or those with airway stenosis less than 50%. A close follow-up is necessary to identify early patients who become symptomatic.

Objective: Reyanning mixture has been demonstrated to be effective in treating infected patients during the outbreak pandemic of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Shanghai 2022. The aim of this study is to further investigate the role of Reyanning mixture specifically in the treatment of elderly patients.

Methods: This study enrolled 1,102 elderly patients who were infected with SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant. Of these, 291 patients received Reyanning mixture in conjunction with conventional Western medicine treatment were assigned to the treatment group, while 811 patients only received conventional Western medicine treatment were assigned to the control group. Clinical parameters including hospitalization duration, viral shedding time, and Cycle Threshold (Ct) values of novel coronavirus nucleic acid tests, as well as adverse events were recorded and analyzed in both groups.

Results: There was no significant difference in baseline characteristics between two groups. In comparison to the control group, the treatment group demonstrated a substantial difference in hospitalization duration (median: 8 days vs. 10 days, HR: 0.638, 95% CI: 0.558–0.731, p < 0.001). The treatment group also showed a significantly shorter viral shedding time compared to the control group (median: 7 days vs. 8 days, HR: 0.754, 95% CI: 0.659–0.863, p < 0.001). Multivariate Cox proportional-hazards model analysis indicated that the use of Reyanning mixture was closely associated with a reduction in hospitalization duration (HR: 1.562, 95% CI: 1.364–1.789, p < 0.001) and viral shedding time (HR: 1.335, 95% CI: 1.166–1.528, p < 0.001). In addition, during the treatment process, no serious adverse event occurred in either group.

Conclusion: The improvement of clinical parameters in the treatment group indicate a promising therapeutic benefit of Reyanning mixture for elderly patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant in the present study. Further investigations are required to validate this finding by examining the underlying mechanism and function of Reyanning mixture.
