Published: December 2020

Solvent extraction has been used in industry or many purposes for years, including to recover oil at contaminated soil. Certain solvents and temperature ranges have been chosen to increase the oil recovery rate of extraction process. The Study observed the implementation of biosurfactant at the extraction process to perform reduction of total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) concentration of oily contaminated soil. In order to optimize TPH removal, extraction were conducted for multiple stages. Biosurfactant extraction result were also compared to solvent extraction process which acetone and toluene have been selected to extract oil content from contaminated soil by using solvent extraction process. The combination treatments with biosurfactant were also involving variety of centrifugation process with 1000 rpm (1570 g) operational speed. Duration of treatment process was 10 minutes with some variations of solid to solvent ratio. During the experiments comparison result between varies treatment process provides alternatives to treat oily contaminated soil by using extraction process. Compatibility among solvents, biosurfactants, types of oily contaminated solid waste were also observed to seek possibility on large scale of treatment process implementation both insitu at the contaminated site and exsitu at integrated waste treatment facility.
Remote Sensing Aplication and Geochemical Studies for Hydrocarbon-Induced Alterations Discoveries in Western Kendeng Zone
Authors: Maulana F., R.
Published: December 2020

The development of satellite imaging technology that has spectral capability has the potential to be utilized in hydrocarbon exploration. The presence of hydrocarbons can be detected through spectral recording of hydrocarbon seepage. Over a long period, hydrocarbon seepage will change the chemical structure and mineralogy of the surrounding soil and rocks, so that it will cause spectral anomalies that are key to the existence of active hydrocarbons and petroleum systems. The West Kendeng zone was chosen as a research location because several hydrocarbon seepage sites were found to contain, either oil or gas in the area. Based on hydrocarbon seepage spectral theory, Landsat 8 imagery has a wavelength spectrum capability that is sensitive to the anomalous object of hydrocarbon seepage. Therefore, this research was conducted to determine the distribution of hydrocarbon seepage areas in the West Kendeng zone by using Landsat 8 imagery. In addition to using Landsat 8, to strengthen the research results a surface geological mapping process was also carried out at the seepage location. Then the samples obtained were analyzed by XRD and XRF. XRD analysis was carried out to determine the types of minerals that became an anomaly around the seepage location. In addition, the XRF analysis is carried out to determine the chemical composition of rocks that have undergone alteration. Based on the results of Landsat 8 data calibration, an altered rock which is an anomaly of hydrocarbon seepage is found in the south and southwest of the study site. These results are confirmed by the location of the discovery of several points of seepage of hydrocarbons in the research area. The XRD test results also showed anomalous clay mineral content in the form of halloysite, albite, and augite in the southwest and south of the study site. Besides this anomaly, magnetite and pyrite were also found at that location. While the XRF test results from the sample also showed the presence of Fe2O3 element at 9.21% and CaO at 7.42% in the south and southwest of the study location. This indicates a reaction between hydrocarbons and rocks that affect the acidity conditions around them, so they will form clay minerals, iron oxides, and iron sulfides. Therefore, based on Landsat 8 image analysis, XRD, and XRF, a hydrocarbon seepage distribution area accumulated in the Bancak, Boto, Wonokerto, and Nyemoh areas in the Semarang Regency.

Published: December 2020

The aim of this study was to investigate the phytochemicals present in fermented castor seed (ogiri Igbo). 1kg of castor seed was dehulled and cleaned after which seeds were wrapped in banana leaves and boiled for 6-8 h. The boiled seeds which were still wrapped in the leaves were left to ferment for 4-6 days. Later, the seeds were mixed with ash from oil palm bunch and ground into paste. Subsequently, the condiment (ogiri Igbo) formed was wrapped in leaves in small portions.Phytochemical and GC-MS analysis were performed on the condiment using standard methods. Phytochemicals investigated were tannins, saponins, flavonoids, steroids, terpenoids, cardiac glycosides, phlobactannins, phenols, proteins, reducing sugars and anthraquinones. While steroids, reducing sugars and anthraquinones were absent in the condiment, flavonoids, phlobactannins, and alkaloids were present in abundance (++), the least abundant being the terpenoids, cardiac glycosides and phenols (+) and the most abundant phytochemicals reportedly present in the condiment were saponins and proteins. GC-MS analysis performed on the fermented castor seed (ogiri Igbo) showed that forty eight compounds were present in the said condiment and while the most abundant compound reported was 9,12-Octadecadienoic acid (Z,Z)-methyl ester (17.43%), the least abundant was 2-t-Butyl-3,6-dimethyl pyrazine (0.35%). In conclusion, although some of the relevant phytochemicals may have been lost to fermentation, the condiment still retains some health aiding phytoconstituents in appreciable amounts.

Published: December 2020

Fluoride is a well-known environmental pollutant and its effect on human health has long been of interest to biomedical researchers. Various studies have shown that fluoride causes adverse effects on the fertility. Wistar albino female rats weighing 150-200 g were randomly divided into six rats in each group. The rats in experimental groups treated with 300 and 600 mg NaF/kg bw/day by oral gavage for 40 days. The present investigation focuses on the ovary of rat treated with sodium fluoride and its amelioration by curcumin. The results revealed that the sodium fluoride exposure to female rats treated with 300 mg NaF/kg bw/day, the surface epithelium had less number of ruffles and blebs of the plasma membrane. There was abrasion of ovarian surface epithelium. In rats treated with 600 mg/kg bw/day NaF, the cuboidal shape of the surface epithelium were changed into elongated appearance. The cells were devoid of microvilli, blebs and ruffles. After administration of curcumin, many follicles in different stages of development were visible. The ovarian surface epithelium showed normal surface epithelium with improvement in the shape of cuboidal cells.

Authors: Saadat Huseynova
Published: December 2020

Maternal mortality and morbidity depend on many factors, including the quality of birth care and neonatal care services. Quality indicators should be there to measure the quality of any service. The project aims to test and implement supportive supervision principles at the ten maternity hospitals (within the city of Baku). Helping to Identify and to solve current problems in the quality of medical services, as well as guiding the Ministry of Healthcare to implement supportive supervision in the healthcare system, are also primary goals. It focuses on deficiencies, errors, and audits individuals, not the process. As a result of supportive supervision, the staff participates in problem-solving, perceives a supervisor better, does not hesitate to identify problems, and actively gets involved in solving them. The result of the research shows that supportive supervision has a positive impact on improving the quality of services. Supportive supervision should be applied regularly, not on seasonal occasions. External, as well as internal audits, require the supportive supervision initiative. The results of such inspections should be available to a broader audience to create a competitive environment among institutions. Supportive supervision also helps to identify both biased and objective (non-facility related) factors that negatively affect the quality of services. Discussing objective factors at an intersectoral level, and finding solutions to problems is necessary to improve the quality of services.

Housing and settlements are one of the basic human needs that are important factors in improving human dignity and the quality of a prosperous life in a just and prosperous society. . The problem of slums which is mostly inhabited by the poor is a complex and intertwined phenomenon, because it has long been a social problem in the community. One of the efforts of the Surabaya City Government to reduce uninhabitable housing is through the Slum Areas Social Rehabilitation Program (RSDK).               Research on the Evaluation of the Slum Region Social Rehabilitation Program for Improving the Quality of Life of Residents was carried out to describe the extent of the Evaluation and Impact of the Implementation of the RSDK Program, using descriptive qualitative research methods based on the criteria of Effectiveness, Efficiency, Adequacy, Equality, Responsiveness and Accuracy.               The results of this evaluation indicate that in general the Program Implementation was sufficient to meet the criteria targeted at the implementation program. In terms of efficiency, program implementation still has shortcomings due to the minimum timeframe specified and also the implementation process that is appropriate to the cost per stage. Adequacy is judged by the success of the development is still low due to complaints from some program beneficiaries. The similarity is seen based on the costs incurred for the Construction of Home Improvements have been carried out fairly. The level of community responsiveness related to program implementation is quite good because of the role of the local community in helping the program implementation process. The accuracy of the program implementation related to the results or program objectives are in accordance with what is desired. The physical impact that occurs with the construction of uninhabitable housing improvement programs can help the development of environmental conditions in the communities living in slums. Meanwhile, the social impact that occurs is to bring up value that is useful and useful for the needs of people's lives.

The purpose of this study is to explain the meaning of work rationality for Alfamart employees (Crew, ACOS, COS) while serving at PT. Sumber Alfaria Tri Jaya, TBK (Alfamart). The benefits of research are criticizing the workings of capitalism in the objective reality of Alfamart employees. Meaning was analyzed using the perspective of C. Wright Mills about Cheerful Robots. Rationality in Mills's perspective that ratio work must precede objective reality, because objective reality is the exploitation of the human ratio. The present social reality is not the work of ratio work, but the work of technology. Accordingly, Alfamart employees understand their work as technological work, not ratio work. Alfamart makes the reproduction of excited robots that are workers who are ready to run Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) from PT. Sumber Alfaria Tri Jaya, TBK.The method used is qualitative research with a qualitative descriptive approach.  The results of this study indicate: 1. Alfamart employees do not have the creative power to speak out about the discomfort they get, because all of that is covered with sweet promises from the company. Though the promise is not certain, and the income obtained by Alfamart employees is very far from the owner of PT. Sumber Alfaria Trijaya and structural position holders (Korwil, Inventory Collection / IC, Directors, President Commissioners, etc.). 2. Without realizing by this Alfamart employee that they become Cheerful Robots that are driven by PT. Sumber Alfaria Trijaya, Tbk. They consider this work to be fine, even though they know there is a loss they are getting, but it is considered fairness and responsibility. They lose their reason and autonomy of mind.

The Mega Agenda of the Merauke Integrated Food and Energy Estate (MIFEE) project in Papua is one of the global efforts to respond the 2008 world food crisis. This project includes the procurement of food and energy barns for world needs. Around one million hectares of land were cleared for extractive industries in the form of corn, palm oil, rice and sugar cane in the hope of absorbing the local workforce. Unfortunately, this industrialization process has implications for the loss of forests as a source of life, drought, the environment polluted by extractive industrial waste, exploitation of workers also horizontal conflicts. Through the Empire and Multitude approach by Negri and Hardt the analysis leads to the occurrence of biased interests of local, national and global elites as empire in the MIFEE project. With the main principle of neoliberalism, namely the accumulation of capital, the empire exploits natural and human resources on the pretext of global interests. Seeing the struggles of the people are often accommodated by political devide et impera, the offer of multitude can be an alternative solution. Communities all over the world can help in their own ways in the simplest lines, such as reducing consumptive actions and saving lives.

Vascular endothelial growth factor D, VEGF-D, encoded by FIGF is differentially expressed in metastatic breast cancer, both in metastases to the brain and to the lymph nodes.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: December 2020

Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes to discover genes associated with brain metastasis in patients with metastatic breast cancer. We found that the vascular endothelial growth factor D, encoded by VEGF-D, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain and lymph node metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to normal breast tissues. VEGF-D mRNA was present at significantly reduced quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to normal breast tissues. Down-regulation of VEGF-D may be an important event for metastasis of primary tumor-derived cancer cells to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer, and irrespective of its importance, appears to be a transcriptional event generally associated with metastasis to the brain.

Postulates governing universal object motion s are hypothesized. All o bjects display mass, geometry, andwavelengths (colors) determined either by their inherent properties of transmission or by their interactions withrays of different wavelengths. T h is paper proposes that RMs , which will be defined later, are the fundamentalcaus ation of motion in the UniverseThe motion of objects in theUniverse is governed by Newton 's laws of motion and laws of gravitation. Einstein’sspecial theory of relativity defines the motion of objects through relativistic frames and makes a bold hypothesisthat no object in the universe can surpass the speed of light. However, both, Newton’s and Einstein’s theoriessimply ignore the geometry of objects in defining the motion.This paper will explainho w the number of objects (defined here as RM), geometry of objects andemission/reflective property of objects are the fundamental cause for the origination of motion It is critical tounderstand how the number of objects, geometrical structure of objects and emission/reflective behaviour ofobjects can result in the occurrence of motion in the form of translational, rotational and revolution. When theproperties of objects such as geometry, light emission and the number of objects change, motion changes its forms.This paperis intended to be first of series of papers that will explain the nature of objects, their motion behavior s,and the fundamental nature of a Universe observed via the various object behavior s
Adropin, produced by the energy homeostasis associated gene ENHO is differentially expressed in the tumors of breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: December 2020

Trastuzumab (Herceptin) is a monoclonal antibody targeting the extracellular domain of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) (1) utilized for the treatment of adjuvant and metastatic breast cancer (2) in the United States and worldwide. We mined published microarray and gene expression data (3, 4) to discover in an unbiased manner the most significant transcriptional changes associated with trastuzumab treatment. We identified ENHO among the genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with breast cancer treated with trastuzumab. The primary tumors of breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab expressed higher levels of ENHO messenger RNA than did patients not treated with trastuzumab, and a single administration of trastuzumab was sufficient to result in differential expression of ENHO in primary tumors of the breast, demonstrating increased expression of a molecule involved in regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism and whose expression is modulated by high-fat diet (5) as a direct transcriptional consequence of treatment with trastuzumab.

Biomechanics is one of the important domains to study and research. There are certain domains within the broad spectrum of biomechanics which is based on the precise representation of the biomechanics of a particular body. Some of the applications of the same are evident in the department of sports and exercise, where the improvement in the biomechanics of the body directly affects the improvement in the game or sport. It is not only related to the study of sports and related mechanics. But it has a wide range of applications in the domain of injury recovery. Worth mentioning, Hugh Herr, the director of the Biomechatronics lab at MIT Media Lab is one of the key people to have established the domain in a way no one could have ever imagined. Using the paradigms of biomechanics and electronics, he revolutionized the mechanics of the human body for those who are required to have some form of body prosthetics.In analyzing the same, we find the usage of the OpenSim to be most crucial and hence, in turn, determine the scripting of the same to be one of the important paradigms to be learned in the same. In this report, I have presented the entire modeling segment of the human skeleton model using OpenSim classes in MATLAB. The code shall be utilized in all versions of MATLAB and can be modified as per requirements.

In this study, we surveyed a sample of U.S. undergraduates and internet-based participants (N = 495) about theirexperiences during/after romantic infidelity (affairs), and their initial motivations to engage in infidelity. Meaningfulassociations emerged between motivation and experience variables. Dyadic motivations (e.g., anger at one’s partner,lack of love) were linked with longer affairs, more public dates with affair partners, and primary relationshipdissolution. Conversely, non-dyadic situational motivations (e.g., feeling stressed or intoxicated) were linked withshorter affairs, less satisfying sex during affairs, and lower rates of disclosure and dissolution. These findings suggestmeaningful infidelity typologies and may aid researchers and practitioners in helping others resolve relational conflicts.

Purpose. To capitalize on investments in evidence-based practice implementation, technology is needed to scale up fidelity assessment. Stakeholder feedback may facilitate adoption of such tools. This study examined mental health providers’ perceptions of an automated fidelity-rating tool for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Methods. We administered online surveys before and after focus groups that included therapists (n=18) and clinical leadership (n=12) from community mental health programs implementing CBT. Discussions centered on supervision practices followed by feedback about the fidelity tool. Transcripts were analyzed using a grounded theory approach.Results. Initial perceptions of acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility of automated CBT fidelity tools were positive and increased after introduction of the tool, including significant increases in ratings of acceptability and appropriateness. Standard supervision was described as collaboratively guided, either scheduled or spontaneous, and focused on clinical content, self-care, and documentation. Participants highlighted the tool’s utility for supervision, training, and professional growth, but questioned its ability to rate skills related to rapport, cultural diversity, and non-verbal communication. Concerns were raised about client and therapist privacy, and the impact of low scores on therapist confidence. Desired features included labeling of interventions used and transparency about how fidelity scores related to specific point in the session. Opportunities for asynchronous, remote, and targeted supervision were of particular value. Conclusions. Automated fidelity assessment may present an opportunity for an acceptable, appropriate, and feasible approach to large-scale EBP implementation. Continued partnership with community stakeholders will be key for designing such tools in a manner that increases the likelihood of uptake.
Infants can outperform adults in pitch and timbre perception
Authors: Lau Bonnie , Oxenham Andrew , werner lynne
Published: December 2020

Adults perceive pitch with fine precision, an ability ascribed to cortical functions that are also important for speech and music perception. Infants display neural immaturity in the auditory cortex, suggesting that pitch discrimination may improve throughout infancy. In three experiments, we tested the limits of pitch and timbre perception in 66 infants and 44 adults. Contrary to expectations, we found that infants surpassed adults in detecting subtle changes in pitch in the presence of random variations in timbre, and vice versa. The results indicate high fidelity of pitch and timbre coding in infants, implying that fully mature cortical processing is not necessary for accurate discrimination of these features. The surprising superiority of infants over adults may reflect a developmental trajectory for learning natural statistical covariations between pitch and timbre that improves coding efficiency in adults, but results in degraded perceptual acuity when expectations for such covariations are violated.
USING SYNTACTIC UNITS IN THE LANGUAGE OF FILM ACTORS
Authors: Mustafayev Fizuli Najmaddin
Published: December 2020

The article is devoted to the use of syntactic units in the language of film actors. The article draws attention to various ideas and considerations regarding the use of syntactic units in all areas of the cinematic language. The reader is presented about themes, genres, style problems in Azerbaijani cinema, screen artists, large-format publishing, a variety of styles in the director’s work, various problems of cinema and theater poetry, the history of television poetry and style. The differences in some cases between the written language and its oral form, innovation, accent, facial expressions and gestures of the actors by the setting of the pavilion and the fact that the dramatic point of view of the film is conveyed to the reader only by word. Since thought is known in dialogical speech, the narrative of some members of a sentence, complex sentences requiring details are omitted. The film pavilion, structure, actor’s movements, images form the basis of the article. Readers can extract information from all this, especially since directors and actors choose syntactic units that are more suitable for spoken language. The article also provides tips from individual films and presents ideas for any explanation.
Nonsurgical Root Canal Treatment of a Mandibular First Premolar with Taurodontism Managed with Minimally Invasive Endodontics: A Case Report
Authors: Shen Ling-Chang , Shen Ling-Chang , Liao Wan-Chuen , Peters O. A.
Published: December 2020

A 67-year-old male patient was referred for further treatment of a mandibular left first premolar. The tooth
presented with slight percussion tenderness and the periodontal probing depth was normal. There was no
soft tissue swelling. The radiographic image exhibited a temporary restoration in the previously initiated
access cavity of the mandibular left first premolar. The diagnosis of the mandibular left first premolar was
previously initiated therapy associated with symptomatic apical periodontitis. The tooth presented four root
canals and the characteristics of taurodontism. Two buccal root canals bifurcated at the apical third. The
pulpal floor was examined under a dental operating microscope and four canal orifices were identified.
TruNatomy Glider was used for glide path preparation. TruNatomy Prime file was selected for final root
canal preparation in order to maximally preserve the radicular dentin. Root canal irrigation was achieved by
using RC-Prep and 2.5% NaOCl between each file application. Canal blockage was avoided by multiple
recapitulations with K-files (#10) between changing each rotary file. Obturation of the canals were
performed by using TruNatomy Conform Fit® Gutta-Percha cones and AH Plus® root canal sealer via the
warm lateral condensation technique. CBCT was arranged for confirmation after root canal treatment of the
mandibular left first premolar and showed a good outcome. The clinical procedures and instruments could
provide the practitioners for reference while managing such a difficult case.
A Unique Case of Anal Atresia with Vestibular Anus, Colorectal Cancer and Renal Cancer in Horseshoe Kidney in Adult Woman: A Case Report and Literature Review

Published: December 2020

Introduction: Colorectal cancer is a very common malignancy, however the association with kidney cancer
is very unusual, even more so if kidney cancer occurs on a horseshoe kidney. Horseshoe kidney is a
congenital malformation in which the kidneys appear fused. It is often accompanied by abnormalities of the
ureteropelvic and vascular systems, so patients in need of surgery should be carefully evaluated.
Materials and Methods: A 64-year-old woman came to our observation with abnormalities of the perineum
such as the "vestibular anus", horseshoe kidney, kidney cancer and colorectal cancer. She underwent left
open hemicolectomy and right polar resection of the horseshoe kidney.
Results: The patient was discharged on the sixth operating day without complications. At the follow-up 54
months after surgery, she was negative for distant metastasis and local disease recovery.
Conclusion: From a literature review this is the first case report in a patient with these four associated
comorbidities. Preoperative evaluation in these patients by CT is important to evaluate the relation between
the nervous, vascular and urinary structures to avoid iatrogenic injury.
