Techno-economic Feasibility Assessment on the Viability of Using Waste PET (Trays and Coloured Bottles) to Produce Metal-Organic Framework (MOFs)
Authors: Ren Jianwei , Jen Tien-Chien , Starosta Wojciech , Sartowska Bożena , Nomngongo Philiswa Nosizo
Published: November 2022

This work reviewed the business model of waste PET-to-MOFs from technical feasibility, economic appraisal, commercial viability, and risk assessment. A process model was developed to cover the mass balance, which considered material flows, chemical build-up, and energy requirements. The balance was based on a case of 1 kg/day, and the scalability was proved at a later stage. A financial model was then developed, and the analysis of economic appraisal and commercial viability showed that investing in MOFs will generate roughly a 5% internal rate of return (IRR) on a production capacity of 10 kg daily. Given the fact that these results are positive at a small scale, it is therefore recommended that this investment should proceed. The environmental and opportunity cost that is avoided has not been considered in the financial analysis. This can further strengthen the revenue side of this production. While a return of 5% is not the most attractive, the PET waste that would be redirected to this production contributes to the South African waste management strategy and climate change objectives. In addition, since the South African government bond of ten years yields a return of 8.52% return, this initiative is competitive with a 5% IRR.
uitbeelding van die vroulike rol in advertensies in Suid-Afrikaanse vrouelydskrifte
Authors: Petersen Angela

In South Africa there is growing concern regarding the manner in which women are portrayed in advertisements. Up to now no studies have been undertaken in support or otherwise of this concern. However, theories of mass communications support the fact that advertising is powerful enough to prescribe and reflect the existing values and norms of the society. Advertising is also a form of communication of persuasion and influence. By means of techniques of persuasion, views and behaviour can be influenced in a direction determined by the initiator. These techniques determined include typecasting, an important element of the study which was under taken. The purpose of the study was to determine the manner in which South African women are portrayed in South African women's magazines. For this purpose it was necessary to review the role of women in Western Society and to determine which historical factors had influenced this role. The hypotheses for the analysis were derived from literature and research relating to the portrayal of women in American advertising, and from South African seminar material and a few articles on this subject which could be located. The most significant finding is that women in South-African magazine advertisements are depicted relatively free from stereotyped images and traditional ideas. This reflects the fact that marketers and advertisers have accepted the changing values and norms relating to the role of women.
The Press and South Africa's Foreign Relations
Authors: Van Wyk Koos
Published: November 2022

By using events data, the Afrikaans and English press has been compared for the comprehensiveness of their news coverage of South Africa's foreign relations. Events related to South Africa both as actor and target of foreign policy behaviour have been included. The findings show in broad terms that the Afrikaans press has been more comprehensive in reporting events where South Africa has been the actor. On the other hand, the English press has been far superior in their reporting events where South Africa has been the target of behaviour (external environment). These findings confirm the pluralistic nature of the press in South Africa, although some hegemonic features have been noticeable.
Kognitiewe orientasie as determinant van verbruikersbesluitneming
Authors: Crous Freddie , Benecke G. , Joubert J. P. R.
Published: November 2022

The consumer decision-making process proves to be the most comprehensive and integrated approach to explain and predict consumer behaviour. A fundamental problem, however, is that as a result of their complexity and cognitive substructure, the models which have been designed to express this approach cannot be easily verified in practice. The Indication is that the model of Overton (1981) provides a way out of this dilemma. The social and rational scales resulting from the model seems to be conceptually part of the broader classification system of field dependence and field independence. The results of the empirical investigation indicate, against the expectation that no significant correlation could be found between field dependence and a social consumer orientation. A significant negative correlation was how ever found between field dependence and a rational consumer orientation.
Active Outward Orientation of the Organisation
Authors: Angelopulo George
Published: November 2022

A central problem of organisations is the uncertainty of their environmental transactions in the attainment of desired responses. The degree to which the uncertainty is reduced, is often associated with the organisation's offectiveness. This study examines and Identifies an appropriate theoretical framework within which to proceed with an Investigation into organisational effectiveness. The systems approach, although of limited ontological value, of. fers a valuable cluster of strategies for Inquiry, within which Heldema's partial. dy systems-derived view is discussed. According to this view, perceptions of real systems can be described along spatial and temporal dimensions: as ahistorical, Inward-looking and struc tural; or as historical, outward-looking and changing. From this, the active out. ward orlented perceptual paradigm is developed, and It Is suggested that the existence of the active outward oriented basic assumption is a necessary condition of the organisation's potential effectiveness, and that the process by which it is instituted and maintained is communication.

Authors: Murastami Ammarilis , Pristia Widya Monica  , Pratiwi Prasetya
Published: November 2022

Background: Keloid is a growing neoplasm characterized by the proliferation of benign fibroblasts. The chest, shoulders, head, especially the ear lobes, neck, arms, and upper back are the areas most commonly affected by keloids. The use of a fillet flap allows dissection of the keloid core and leaves loose skin for wound closure. This study aims to describe the surgical management of keloids in the auricular region using the core excision technique with a keloid fillet flap with a combination of corticosteroid injections.

Case presentation: A 54-year-old man came with the main complaint of a red lump with hard consistency and itching on the right ear. The management of this patient was surgery using the core excision technique with a keloid fillet flap followed by intra-operative intralesional and immediate post-operative corticosteroid injection and then programmed for corticosteroid injection at the next follow-up. Post-operative therapy was given cefixime 2x100mg and oral analgesic mefenamic acid 3x500mg for 5 days.

Conclusion: Keloid surgery is the treatment of choice because it produces good cosmetic results quickly. Routine follow-up and additional therapy are required to prevent a future post-operative recurrence.

COVID-19 pandemija pareikalavo milijonų gyvybių ir tapo vienu didžiausių XXI a. iššūkių sveikatos sistemai. Vakcinacija yra viena veiksmingiausių priemonių infekcinių ligų valdyme, tačiau dalis žmonių abejoja COVID-19 vakcinų saugumu bei veiksmingumu, todėl nusprendžia nesiskiepyti. Neigiamas medikų požiūris į COVID-19 vakcinaciją taip pat gali turėti įtakos visuomenės atsisakymui skiepytis. Tyrimo tikslas. Įvertinti gydytojų bei slaugytojų požiūrį į vakcinaciją nuo COVID-19 ligos. Tyrimo metodai. 2021 m. rugsėjo–gruodžio mėn. buvo vykdyta Lietuvoje dirbančių gydytojų ir slaugytojų internetinė, anoniminė apklausa apie požiūrį į vakcinaciją nuo COVID-19 ligos. Anketą sudarė 16 originalių įvairaus tipo klausimų. Rezultatai. 91,4 proc. respondentų pasiskiepijo šia vakcina, o 2,2 proc. skiepysis ateityje, gydytojai (95,6 proc.) statistiškai reikšmingai labiau linkę skiepytis, lyginant su slaugytojais (87,2 proc.) (p < 0,05). Gydytojai reikšmingai dažniau nurodė norą apsaugoti save ir aplinkinius, o slaugytojai – spaudimą darbovietėje kaip priežastį, skatinusią pasiskiepyti (p < 0,001). Šalutinis poveikis (63,6 proc.) bei abejojimas vakcinos veiksmingumu (58,2 proc.) buvo pagrindinės nesiskiepijimo priežastys. 83,2 proc. tiriamųjų rekomenduotų skiepytis COVID-19 vakcina pacientams ir artimiesiems, pasiskiepijusieji bei gydytojai tai daryti linkę statistiškai reikšmingai dažniau (p < 0,001). Išvados. Gydytojų ir slaugytojų požiūris į vakcinaciją nuo COVID-19 ligos yra teigiamas, dauguma jų rekomenduoja skiepytis artimiesiems ir pacientams. Lyginant gydytojų ir slaugytojų grupes, slaugytojai mažiau linkę skiepytis COVID-19 vakcina ir tai rekomenduoti pacientams bei artimiesiems.

Authors: Sauserienė Jolanta , Balčaitytė Aušrinė , Nacevičiūtė Karolina
Published: November 2022

Pogimdyminė depresija (PD) – vienas dažniausių moterų psichikos sveikatos sutrikimų, pasireiškiančių pirmaisiais metais po kūdikio gimimo. PD blogina moters gyvenimo kokybę, santykius su partneriu, trikdo naujagimio kognityvinę ir emocinę raidą, motinos ir kūdikio tarpusavio ryšį, saugaus prisirišimo formavimąsi. Net laiku diagnozavus ligą, medikamentinis gydymas žindančioms moterims dažnai nėra priimtinas, o psichoterapija vis dar mažai populiari, abejojama jos veiksmingumu. Šios sisteminės literatūros apžvalgos tikslas – apžvelgti naujausius mokslinius tyrimus, nagrinėjančius kognityvinės elgesio terapijos (KET) veiksmingumą PD gydymui bei pateikti naujausius mokslinius duomenis apie šią psichoterapijos kryptį, kaip apie savarankišką arba sudedamąją depresijos gydymo ir profilaktikos priemonę. Metodika. Sisteminė literatūros apžvalga atlikta naudojant „PubMed“ ir EBSCO HOST duomenų bazių paieškos sistemas. Rezultatai. Kriterijus atitiko ir į sisteminę apžvalgą įtraukta 10 straipsnių. Straipsniuose PD buvo vertinama naudojantis EPDS skale arba atlikus struktūrizuotą klinikinį interviu ir atitikimą, remiantis DSM-5 kriterijais. Sisteminė mokslinės literatūros analizė parodė, kad KET yra veiksmingas PD gydymo būdas, tiek derinant su medikamentiniu gydymu, tiek taikant kaip monoterapiją, o gydymo rezultatai yra ilgalaikiai. Dalis analizuotų tyrimų parodė, jog pacientės labiau motyvuotos pradėti ir tęsti psichoterapiją nei medikamentinį gydymą. O KET buvo vienodai veiksminga, nepriklausomai nuo specialisto (susipažinęs su KET šeimos gydytojas, slaugytojas, psichologas), kuris taikė gydymą.

Background: Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy(CAN) is a common underdiagnosed complication in patientswith type -2 diabetes mellitus in clinical practice. CAN is associated with increased morbidity and mortalityamong diabetics. Only few studies are available in literature about pattern and prevalence of CAN among type-2diabetics in developing countries like India where burden of the disease is high.Aim : To study the pattern and prevalence of CAN in type 2 Diabetes mellitus patients and to study the sympatheticand parasympathetic abnormalities related to cardiovascular system in patients with type 2 Diabetes mellitus.Materials and Methods: The study design was observational Retrospective and was conducted at Department ofPhysiology, Thanjavur Medical college, between april to june 2022. We recruited 80 patients (55 male and 25 female)with type 2 Diabetes mellitus of age 30 years and above from Medicine and Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD)Outpatient Department of Thanjavur Medical college hospital. The study was approved by Institutional Ethicalcommittee(IEC). After getting informed written consent from all the participants, age, duration of diabetes, systolicblood pressure and HbA1c levels were recorded. Patients were made to undergo Autonomic Function Tests(AFT)in Research Laboratory. Assessment of CAN was done retrospectively and scoring was done using three differentscoring system namely Ewing’s, Bellavere’s and AIIMS criterias.Statistical Analysis and Results: Mean age was 48.86(±5.694) years and duration of diabetes was 108.48(±25.039)months. Mean systolic blood pressure(SBP) was 132.10(±25.039)mmHg and HbA1c level was 8.63(±0.46368).Statistical Analysis was done using unpaired ‘T’ and Chi-Square tests. The abnormality of single autonomic testranged from 6% in valsalva ratio to 46.25% in cold pressor test. CAN was found in 14 and 20 patients by Ewings’sand Bellavere’s criteria respectively. AIIMS criteria revealed 43 patients with isolated sympathetic abnormalityand 37with parasympathetic abnormality and 25 with both abnormalities. Duration of diabetes, systolic bloodpressure(SBP) and and HbA1c levels were not significantly correlated with autonomic abnormality in our study.Only Valasava Ratio(VR) correlates with autonomic abnormality significantly(P value<0.05).Conclusion: CAN is a common microvascular abnormality in type 2 diabetes mellitus. We have to highlight theimportance of regular testing of autonomic functions in type 2 diabetes mellitus to prevent mortality due tocardiovascular complications.

Published: November 2022

One of the most enticing approaches to environmental restoration and energy conversion is photocatalysis powered by solar light. Traditional photocatalysts have limited practical uses due to inadequate light absorption, charge separation, and unknown reaction mechanisms. Discovering new visible-light photocatalysts and investigating their modification is crucial in photocatalysis. Bi-based photocatalytic nanomaterials have gotten much interest as they exhibit distinctive geometric shapes, flexible electronic structures, and good photocatalytic performance under visible light. They can be employed as stand-alone photocatalysts for pollution control and energy production, but they do not have optimum efficacy. As a result, their photocatalytic effectiveness has been significantly improved in the recent decades. Numerous newly created concepts and methodologies have brought significant progress in defining the fundamental features of photocatalysts, upgrading the photocatalytic ability, and understanding essential reactions of the photocatalytic process. This paper provides insights into the characteristics of Bi-based photocatalysts, making them a promising future nanomaterial for environmental remediation. The current review discusses the fabrication techniques and enhancement in Bi-based semiconductor photocatalysts. Various environmental applications, such as H2 generation and elimination of water pollutants, are also discussed in terms of semiconductor photocatalysis. Future developments will be guided by the uses, issues, and possibilities of Bi-based photocatalysts.

QLP Data Release Notes 002: Improved Detrending Algorithm
Authors: Kunimoto Michelle , Tey Evan , Fong Willie , Hesse Katharine , Shporer Avi
Published: November 2022

Light curves feature many kinds of variability, including instrumental systematics, intrinsic stellar variability such as pulsations, and flux changes caused by transiting exoplanets or eclipsing binary stars. Detrending is a key pre-planet-search data processing step that aims to remove variability not due to transits. This data release note describes improvements to the Quick-Look Pipeline's detrending algorithm via the inclusion of quaternion data to remove short-timescale systematics. We describe updates to our procedure, intermediate data products outputted by the algorithm, and improvements to light curve precision.

Authors: Huang Rong-xin , Yuan Tao-hua , Chen Yi , Li Mei-Jun , Bai Xin-xiang
Published: November 2022

In the process of research on genus Impatiens L. in China, we found that there were synonyms among some species. Impatiens procumbens Franch. morphologically resembled I. reptans Hook.f., I. crassiloba Hook.f., I. ganpiuana Hook.f., I. atherosepala Hook.f. and I. rhombifolia Y.Q.Lu & Y.L.Chen. After a thorough morphological study, based on original literature, type specimens and field surveys, it was found that the above six genus Impatiens had no substantial difference in morphological characters, and there was continuity in geographical distribution. Therefore, we determined that I. reptans, I. crassiloba, I. ganpiuana, I. atherosepala and I. rhombifolia is the synonyms of I. procumbens. At the same time, we offer the colour photographs, supplementary descriptions of morphology, geographical distribution and the lectotype of I. procumbens.
Marine Animal Forests of the World: Definition and Characteristics
Authors: Orejas Covadonga , Carreiro-Silva Marina , Mohn Christian , Reimer James , Samaai Toufiek , Allcock A. Louise , Rossi Sergio
Published: November 2022

The term Marine Animal Forest (MAF) was first described by Alfred Russel Wallace in his book “The Malay Archipelago” in 1869. The term was much later re-introduced and various descriptions of MAFs were presented in great detail as part of a book series. The international research and conservation communities have advocated for the future protection of MAFs and their integration into spatial plans and, in response, there are plans to include the characteristics of MAFs into national policies and international directives and conventions (i.e. IUCN, CBD, OSPAR, HELCOM, Barcelona Convention, European directives, ABJN policies etc.). Some MAF ecosystems are already included in international and national conservation and management initiatives, for instance, shallow water coral reefs (ICRI, ICRAN) or cold-water coral reefs and gardens and sponge aggregations (classified as Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems, VMEs), but not as a group together with other ecosystems with similar ecological roles. Marine Animal Forests can be found in all oceans, from shallow to deep waters. They are composed of megabenthic communities dominated by sessile suspension feeders (such as sponges, corals and bivalves) capable of producing three-dimensional frameworks with structural complexity that provide refuge for other species.

MAFs are diverse and often harbour highly endemic communities. Marine animal forests face direct anthropogenic threats and they are not protected in many regions, particularly in deep-sea environments. Even though MAFs have been already described in detail, there are still fundamental knowledge gaps regarding their geographical distribution and functioning. A workshop was dedicated to clarifying the definition of MAFs, characterising their structure and functioning, including delineating the ecosystem services that they provide and the threats upon them. The workshop was organised by Working Group 2 of the EU-COST Action “MAF-WORLD” (hereafter WG2), which is responsible for collating and promoting research on mapping, biogeography and biodiversity of MAFs, to identify and reduce these knowledge gaps. Herein, we report on this workshop and its outputs.
Histoire de la pédopsychiatrie, de sa genèse à aujourd’hui
Authors: Delion Pierre
Published: November 2022

L’histoire de la pédopsychiatrie est récente. Elle a connu un véritable essor à l’occasion de la mise en place de la psychiatrie de secteur infanto-juvénile. Mais une succession de mésaventures en ont singulièrement obscurci l’horizon. Sa disparition possible ne serait qu’une catastrophe supplémentaire imposée aux enfants qui devront répondre dans les temps qui viennent à de nombreux défis écologiques inévitables.
Les fondements anthropologiques de la pédopsychiatrie, et leurs désaveux actuels…
Authors: Blanchard Benoît
Published: November 2022

La spécificité de la pédopsychiatrie dépend de trois dimensions incontournables : le devenir infantile, la réalité psychique et le soin. En effet, il s’agit de prendre en considération certains fondements anthropologiques inhérents à la prise en charge du mal-être des enfants, dans ses déterminants à la fois singuliers et collectifs. Or, les évolutions actuelles tendent de plus à plus à dénier ces aspects, en faveur de conceptions réductionnistes et idéologiques ; avec quelles conséquences concernant les pratiques et le développement infantile ?
Autisme : inclusion économe et crime contre la continuité

The Effect of Psychological Resilience on Hope in Individuals With Schizophrenia
Authors: Üşenmez Tülay Yıldırım , Budak Funda Kavak , Ayhan Mehmet Osman
Published: November 2022

This study aimed to determine the effect of psychological resilience on hope in individuals with schizophrenia. This was a cross-sectional study. One hundred and one (101) individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia were included in the study. The Descriptive Characteristics Form, Brief Resilience Scale (BRS), and Herth Hope Scale (HHS) were used to collect data. A positive and moderate correlation was observed between the individuals' mean total HHS scores and mean total BRS scores (
P
< .05,
r
= 0.508). Additionally, as a result of regression analysis, hope was found to be associated with 25% of the total variance in psychological resilience. The results of this study indicate that as the psychological resilience of the individuals increased, their hope levels increased, or as the hope levels of the individuals increased, their psychological resilience increased.

Optical Assessment and Expected Visual Quality of Four Extended Range of Vision Intraocular Lenses
Authors: Azor Juan Antonio , Vega Fidel , Armengol Jesus , Millan Maria S.
Published: November 2022

PURPOSE:

To assess the optical performance of four extended range of vision (ERV) intraocular lenses (IOLs) and predict the visual quality of the average pseudophakic patient.

METHODS:

Four ERV IOLs (LuxSmart, Bausch & Lomb; Vivity, Alcon Laboratories, Inc; Tecnis Eyhance, Johnson & Johnson Vision; and Isopure, PhysIOL) were inserted in an on-bench model eye. Their performance was assessed using through-focus modulation transfer function (MTF)–based metrics, through-focus point spread function, and halo analysis for three pupils (2.0, 3.0, and 4.5 mm). The expected visual acuity and the range of vision was estimated from the through-focus area under the MTF curve. A monofocal IOL (Tecnis ZCB00; Johnson & Johnson Vision) was included as reference.

RESULTS:

The Tecnis ZCB00 showed the highest image quality at far for all pupil conditions, closely followed by the Tecnis Eyhance. The LuxSmart and Vivity performed similarly in the intermediate range (−1.00 to −2.00 diopters [D]) with a 3.0-mm pupil and showed better performance than the other ERV IOLs for that range. All ERV lenses presented pupil dependent performance. All lenses reached normal expected visual acuity (0.0 logMAR) at far distance. The Tecnis ZCB00, Tecnis Eyhance, and Isopure decreased their expected visual acuity with defocus (0.1 logMAR at 66 cm) faster than the LuxSmart and Vivity (0.0 logMAR at 66 cm). The LuxSmart and Vivity produced greater halos than the Tecnis ZCB00, but they showed little change with larger pupils. The Isopure lens showed a pupil-dependent halo.

CONCLUSIONS:

The expected visual acuity decreased with the object distance differently, depending on the ERV design. The Vivity and LuxSmart lenses showed an expanded imaging capability (⩾ 0.50 D) with respect to a monofocal lens that may benefit intermediate vision. The Tecnis Eyhance and Isopure lenses showed more modest extensions that mainly rely on pupil constriction.

Visual Outcomes of Photorefractive Keratectomy Enhancement After Primary LASIK
Authors: Moshirfar Majid , Basharat Noor F. , Kelkar Neil , Bundogji Nour , Ronquillo Yasmyne C. , Hoopes Phillip C.
Published: November 2022

PURPOSE:

To evaluate the safety, efficacy, and predictability of photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) at least 4 years after primary laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and compare it to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) criteria.

METHODS:

This retrospective, single-site study compared patients who underwent PRK enhancement from 2014 to 2019 after primary LASIK to those who only underwent primary LASIK without re-treatment from the same time period. Patient demographics and clinical information were compared between the two groups. Visual outcomes and postoperative complications were evaluated in the enhancement group.

RESULTS:

A total of 374 eyes with PRK enhancement were compared to 472 without re-treatment. Age, sex, surgical eye, and preoperative sphere, and spherical equivalent (SE) were significantly different between the enhancement and control groups (
P
< .05). At 12 months post-enhancement, 67% had uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) of 20/20 or better, 98% had UDVA of 20/40 or better, and 0.4% of eyes lost at least two lines of corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA). A total of 83% and 98% of eyes were within ±0.50 and ±1.00 diopters of the target, respectively. Post-enhancement complications (n = 66) included dryness (6.1%), epithelial ingrowth (2.7%), and haze (2.7%).

CONCLUSIONS:

Older age at the time of the primary LASIK, female sex, right surgical eye, and more myopic sphere and SE were risk factors for enhancement. Although PRK enhancements are considered off-label procedures, they produce favorable outcomes at 3 and 12 months postoperatively while meeting FDA benchmarks for safety, efficacy, and predictability.

Random uniform exponential attractors for non-autonomous stochastic Schrödinger lattice systems in weighted space
Authors: Lin Rou , Zhao Min , Zhang Jinlu
Published: November 2022

We mainly study the existence of random uniform exponential attractors for non-autonomous stochastic Schrödinger lattice system with multiplicative white noise and quasi-periodic forces in weighted spaces. Firstly, the stochastic Schrödinger system is transformed into a random system without white noise by the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, whose solution generates a jointly continuous non-autonomous random dynamical system $ \Phi $. Secondly, we prove the existence of a uniform absorbing random set for $ \Phi $ in weighted spaces. Finally, we obtain the existence of a random uniform exponential attractor for the considered system $ \Phi $ in weighted space.
El silencio es como el hambre: Cherríe Moraga y el feminismo chicano lesbiano transfronterizo
Authors: Valencia Triana Sayak
Published: November 2022

En nuestros contextos neoliberales donde nuevamente se pone de moda el fascismo sin máscaras y se vuelve al modelo nacionalista de familia nuclear, blanca y heterosexual resulta fundamental preguntarnos por la importancia de inventar y recuperar otros léxicos para reactivar la memoria histórica de nuestras resistencias lésbicas, queer/cuir y racializadas.En este sentido, recuperar las voces de las feministas lesbianas chicanas es fundamental para tejer una memoria histórica de resistencias en las nuevas fronteras del género, de la sexualidad y del racismo. Por ello, este artículo se centra en la revisión y análisis de algunos textos de la poeta lesbiana chicana bicultural y fronteriza Cherríe Moraga en los que se nos muestra una perspectiva visionaria y compleja con rasgos de lo que más tarde conoceríamos como perspectiva decolonial y transfeminista.
