Modeling and Simulation of Precipitation Process of Various Salt Components during Sea Salt Production
Authors: Santoso Herry , Harris Cynthia , Witono Judy Retti , Wanta Kevin Cleary
Published: May 2023

Salt is commonly produced from seawater by conventional solar evaporation process in Indonesia. Some of the salt produced has not been able to meet the standard requirement especially for industrial uses and make Indonesia still importing salt. This study aims to develop a precipitation model of various salt components during seasalt production from seawater by varying the brine input and output concentration on the crystallization table using the concept of solubility. The evaporation and precipitation processes during the salt production were modeled using a series of separator and filter units and carried out by making use of the electrolyte wizard in Aspen Plus®. In this simulation, 9 variation were carried out by varying the brine input at concentration 20 ºBe, 23 ºBe, and 25 ºBe and output at concentration 29 ºBe, 30 ºBe, and 31 ºBe on the crystallization table. It is shown that the purity of NaCl salt is significantly influenced by the the brine input concentration to and the brine output concentration from the crystallization table. The percentage of calcium impurity increases when the brine input concentration to the crystallization table is lower while the percentage of magnesium impurity increases when the brine output concentration from the crystallization table is higher. The percentage of sulfate impurity increases when both the brine input concentration to and the brine output concentration from the crystallization table is lower. In practice, it is advisable that the crystallization in the salt table is carried out from 25 to 29 ºBe to limit the amount of magnesium impurity that can cause salt to taste bitter. Conducting the crystallization in this concentration range would give the purity of NaCl salt of 94.049%, which is in accordance with SNI standard for consumption salt, and the yield of NaCl salt of 78.83%. Further study needs to be done to provide a workable solution on how to make the purity of NaCl salt higher such as by using suitable precipitating agents in the salt production to help the precipitation process of various salt impurities.

Background and Aim:

In our study, patients who underwent isolated coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) using Del Nido cardioplegia (DNC) and crystalloid-based cold blood cardioplegia (CBC) were compared.

Subject and Methods:

In this study, two groups of patients who underwent isolated CABG using DNC (n = 106) and CBC (n = 107) were prospectively randomized. Groups were compared in terms of many results such as troponin T, returning spontaneous rhythm, and cardioplegia volume.

Results and Conclusions:

Median troponin T levels of the DNC and CBC groups were compared for the 0th hour (baseline), 12th, 36th, and 60th hours. There was no statistical difference between groups in troponin T levels of the baseline 0th hour (18[33] vs. 22[27] pg/ml; P = 0.724). Troponin T levels at the 12th hour were less in the DNC group than the CBC group but no statistical difference between the groups (790[735] vs. 826[820] pg/ml; P = 0.068), respectively. Troponin T levels at 36th and 60th hours were higher in the CBC group compared to the DNC group, and a statistical difference was observed (580[546] vs. 650[550] pg/ml; P = 0.030) and (359[395] vs. 421[400] pg/ml; P = 0.020), respectively. After X-clamping, the spontaneous rhythm rate was statistically higher in the DNC group than the CBC group (72.60% vs. 37.40%; P < 0.001). There was no statistical difference between the groups in terms of postoperative arrhythmia, hospital stay, and mortality rates (P > 0.05). Based on data we acquired from the study, we think that DNC is at least as safe and effective as CBC in adult CABG cases.

Published: May 2023

Background and Aim:

Combined use of surgical mask with filtering facepiece (FFP) 2 masks has been popular among the health-care workers. However, the effect of this preference on the vital values of individuals stays as a challenge among the professionals. The present study aimed to assess the effect of FFP2 mask versus combined use of it with surgical mask on the SpO2 values and pulse rates of individuals.

Patients and Methods:

This study was conducted on 20 health-care workers. The pulse rates and SpO2 values were evaluated by pulse oximeter placed in the index fingers of the participants. The participants were divided into two groups: those using the FFP2 mask and those using FFP2–surgical mask combination. Individuals wearing FFP2 mask were examined for a period of 60 min and the same examination was repeated for another period of 60 min in those using combination of FFP2 with surgical mask. The values were measured at the beginning and at 15, 30, 45, and 60 min intervals, respectively. The examinations were conducted in the rest position to obtain standardization.

Results:

The observed data showed no statistical difference at all periods in either SpO2 values or pulse rates between FFP2 and FFP2–surgical mask combined groups. The SpO2 values reduced from the initial time to 15 min in the FFP2–surgical mask group. Also, in the FFP2–SM group, statistically significant increase in values was observed between 15 and 45 min and 15 and 60 min. Another increase in SpO2 value was found in the observations made between made 30 and 45 min in the same group (P < 0.05). The pulse rates of the individuals showed no statistical difference in both the groups and at all experimental periods (P > 0.05).

Conclusion:

According to the present study, wearing only the FFP2 mask or FFP2–surgical mask combination seems not to cause any effect on the SpO2 values and pulse rates of the participants.

Published: May 2023

PURPOSE:

This study used contrast sensitivity (CS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) to assess the functional and structural alterations of the macula and the optic nerve head (ONH) in diabetic patients with no retinopathy and those with mild nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR).

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

In this study, 40 eyes of 20 diabetic patients with no diabetic retinopathy (DR), 40 eyes of 20 diabetic patients with mild NPDR, and 36 eyes of 18 healthy individuals were examined. Best-corrected visual acuity (VA) and CS were performed using early treatment DR study charts and the Pelli-Robson chart, respectively. The macula and ONH were evaluated using OCT, which provided data on the entire retina, inner retinal layer, outer retinal layer, retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), and the macula zone-ellipsoid zone-retinal pigment epithelium layer.

RESULTS:

VA and CS were significantly different between the three groups (P < 0.001). The entire thickness of the retina and the internal thickness of the retina in the 3–6 mm subfields of the macular region, as well as the thickness of the ganglion cell layer + inner plexiform layer (GCL + IPL) and GCL + IPL + RNFLs, differed significantly across the groups (P < 0.013).

CONCLUSION:

In diabetic subjects with no retinopathy, the reduced thickness of the GCL + IPLs is possibly indicative of early neurodegenerative changes in the inner retina. Furthermore, in the diabetic groups, a decrease in CS was observed compared to the control group.
The Korea National Disability Registration System

Published: May 2023

The Korea National Disability Registration System (KNDRS) was established in 1989 to provide social welfare benefits based on predefined criteria for disability registration and an objective medical assessment using a disability grading system. Disability registration requires (1) a medical examination by a qualified specialist physician and (2) a medical advisory meeting to review the degree of disability. Medical institutions and specialists for the diagnosis of disabilities are legally stipulated, and medical records for a specified period are required to support the diagnosis. The number of disability types has gradually expanded, and 15 disability types have been legally defined. As of 2021, 2.645 million people were registered as disabled, accounting for approximately 5.1% of the total population. Among the 15 disability types, disabilities of the extremities account for the largest proportion (45.1%). Previous studies have investigated the epidemiology of disabilities using data from the KNDRS, combined predominantly with data from the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD). Korea has a mandatory public health insurance system that covers the entire Korean population, and the National Health Insurance Services manages all eligibility information, including disability types and severity ratings. In short, the KNDRS-NHIRD is a significant data resource for research on the epidemiology of disabilities.
MLCNN‐COV: A multilabel convolutional neural network‐based framework to identify negative COVID medicine responses from the chemical three‐dimensional conformer
Authors: Das Pranab , Mazumder Dilwar Hussain
Published: May 2023

To treat the novel COronaVIrus Disease (COVID), comparatively fewer medicines have been approved. Due to the global pandemic status of COVID, several medicines are being developed to treat patients. The modern COVID medicines development process has various challenges, including predicting and detecting hazardous COVID medicine responses. Moreover, correctly predicting harmful COVID medicine reactions is essential for health safety. Significant developments in computational models in medicine development can make it possible to identify adverse COVID medicine reactions. Since the beginning of the COVID pandemic, there has been significant demand for developing COVID medicines. Therefore, this paper presents the transfer‐learning methodology and a multilabel convolutional neural network for COVID (MLCNN‐COV) medicines development model to identify negative responses of COVID medicines. For analysis, a framework is proposed with five multilabel transfer‐learning models, namely, MobileNetv2, ResNet50, VGG19, DenseNet201, and Inceptionv3, and an MLCNN‐COV model is designed with an image augmentation (IA) technique and validated through experiments on the image of three‐dimensional chemical conformer of 17 number of COVID medicines. The RGB color channel is utilized to represent the feature of the image, and image features are extracted by employing the Convolution2D and MaxPooling2D layer. The findings of the current MLCNN‐COV are promising, and it can identify individual adverse reactions of medicines, with the accuracy ranging from 88.24% to 100%, which outperformed the transfer‐learning model's performance. It shows that three‐dimensional conformers adequately identify negative COVID medicine responses.

Published: May 2023

Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) are the leading cause of death in young children globally. Most of the global burden of mortality from LRTIs occurs in low-resource settings (LRSs), where obtaining and maintaining respiratory support devices such as commercial bubble continuous positive airway pressure (bCPAP) can be prohibitive. Low-cost bCPAP devices exist, such as the homemade WHO-style bCPAP design, but the safety of this design has been called into question. Based on our team’s experience with homemade bCPAP, the side effects of the high pressures described in recent studies are not commonly encountered. Therefore, we sought feedback via an international survey about various complications including pneumothorax from practitioners in LRSs who use two forms of homemade bCPAP. In our qualitative survey, we did not find a convincing pattern in the recall of complications between commercial bCPAP and homemade bCPAP with narrow- or wide-bore expiratory limb in neonates or older children.

ABSTRACT

The development of technology and the widespread use of the internet in social and commercial life have affected societies significantly. Although online social platforms, where people interact and have a good time, have become increasingly diverse, they have brought many social discomforts. In this research, the relationship between consumers' money attitude and online compulsive buying behavior was examined. In addition, the difference in the relevant variables according to the social media usage levels of individuals was investigated. Within the scope of the research, the data were obtained by the questionnaire technique. A total of 430 university students participated by filling out the questionnaires. The main result of the study is that participants who attach importance to the impression of power-prestige have higher online compulsive buying behavior. Moreover, it was found that female participants performed more online compulsive buying behavior and as the duration of social media usage increased, online compulsive buying behavior increased.
The Re-evaluation of the Function of Television and the Example of Netflix in the Context of Culture Industry and Mass Media
Authors: GÜNAY İbrahim Emre
Published: May 2023

The culture industry destroys the differences of people through culture, homogenizes them and integrates them with the existing order. In other words, it reproduces the system by shaping people behaviorally and intellectually through mass production and consumption. By using mass media, culture has been rationally integrated with entertainment, standardized and become a part of capitalism. Thus, people forget their pain and avoid thinking and critical approach. The boundaries between reality and actual reality are deliberately blurred by the culture industry and people are trapped in an illusion. Television is important because it is the mass media that transforms culture into entertainment and that people are exposed to the most. Image and representation have replaced thinking and speaking on television. It provides an entertainment framework with programs in the television broadcast stream. While millions of short-term and constantly flowing pictures make it necessary to exclude thought, people become alike and ready to be shaped by having fun. In this study, information will be given about the Frankfurt School, and then the function of television will be tried to be explained by examining the relationship between the culture industry and mass media on the basis of the thoughts of Adorno and Horheimer.
Who Counts? Ghanaian Academic Publishing and Global Science
Authors: Mills David , Kingori Patricia , Branford Abigail , Chatio Samuel T. , Robinson Natasha , Tindana Paulina
Published: May 2023

Since the 1990s, global academic publishing has been transformed by digitisation, consolidation and the rise of the internet. The data produced by commercially owned citation indexes increasingly defines legitimate academic knowledge. Publication in prestigious ‘high impact’ journals can be traded for academic promotion, tenure and job-security. African researchers and publishers labour in the shadows of a global knowledge system dominated by ‘Northern’ journals and by global publishing conglomerates. This book goes beyond the numbers. It tells the story of how the Ghanaian academy is being transformed by this bibliometric economy. It offers a rich account of the voices and perspectives of Ghanaian academics and African journal publishers. How, where and when are Ghana’s researchers disseminating their work, and what do these experiences reveal about an unequal global science system? Is there pressure to publish in ‘reputable’ international journals, what role do supervisors, collaborators and mentors play, and how do academics manage in conditions of scarcity? Putting the insights of more than 40 Ghanaian academics into dialogue with journal editors and publishers from across the continent, the book highlights creative responses, along with the emergence of new regional research ecosystems. This is an important Africa-centred analysis of Anglophone academic publishing on the continent and its relationship to global science.
Bruuske syncope in een pashokje

Sudden syncope in a fitting room

A 15-year-old girl experienced a sudden syncope. The cardiac evaluation demonstrated the diagnosis of Brugada syndrome (BrS).

The differential diagnosis of a syncope is broad. In BrS, ventricular arrhythmia may be the cause of the transient loss of consciousness. BrS was first described in 1992 in patients with cardiac arrest due to ventricular arrhythmia and with characteristic ST segment elevation in the right precordial leads. The diagnosis of BrS is made on a spontaneous type 1 electrocardiogram in the absence of underlying cardiac disease or on the onset of a type 1 electrocardiogram after provocative testing or fever and in the presence of documented polymorphic ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation, an arrhythmogenic syncope or a suggestive family history. The disease belongs to the channelopathies, in which mutations in the SCN5A gene are found in 1/3 of the cases. Its treatment is aimed at avoiding ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac arrests. An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator is used in patients with a high risk for sudden cardiac arrests. In addition, drug therapy and/or an ablation may be considered.

BrS is a genetic disorder in which an important role is attributed to the cardiac sodium channel. Making the right diagnosis and performing a correct risk stratification remain the main challenges.

Role of C-Reactive Protein (CRP) as a Predictive Marker of Anastomotic Leak in Colorectal Surgery: Is it Still Reliable?
Authors: Chen L  , Mathew R
Published: May 2023

Introduction: Anastomotic leaks after colorectal surgery is associated with serious morbidity and early diagnosis is critical. C-reactive protein (CRP) on postoperative day (POD) 3 to 5 has been described as a good predictor of anastomotic leak. Therefore, this study aims to review if CRP level of greater than 150mg/l is a reliable predictor of anastomotic leak. 1.2. Methodology: The study was conducted using a prospectively held database from Department of Colorectal Surgery, Singapore General Hospital. From 1 January 2011 to 31 October 2017, all patients who had anastomotic leaks after colorectal resection surgery were analysed retrospectively. Patients without postoperative CRP levels were excluded.
Does the Carbon Emissions Trading Scheme Improve Carbon Total Factor Productivity? Evidence from Chinese Cities
Authors: Yang Wantong , Zhang Ning
Published: May 2023

Improving carbon total factor productivity (CTFP) is required for China’s sustainable development, and the carbon emission trading scheme (ETS) is crucial to achieving this goal. In this paper, we calculate the city CTFP using meta Malmquist-Luenberger (MML) index from 2008 to 2019 and decompose it into efficiency change (EC), best practice gap change (BPC) and technology gap change (TGC). Then we construct a staggered Difference-in-Difference (DID) strategy to investigate the impact of regional ETS pilot policy on city-level CTFP using city panel data from 2008 to 2019. The main results show that the ETS pilot policy can increase CTFP by 3.3% in ETS cities compared to non-ETS cities. Mechanism tests suggest that the growth in CTFP mainly results from an increase in efficiency change and best practice gap ratio. Moreover, we use the CTFP calculated from the Solow residual instead of the CTFP obtained from the meta Malmquist–Luenberger index. We also perform other robustness tests to exclude the interference of potential threats to the results.

Yarattığı eserlerdeki özellikler ve bireysel yönü sayesinde müzik tarihinde özel bir yere sahip olmuştur. Besteci yalnızca kendi eserlerini seslendirdiği için piyano üslubu da gittikçe gelişmiş ve değişmiştir. İlk dönem eserleri Chopin etkisindeyken gittikçe bireyselleşmiş ve yeni arayışlar içerisine girmiştir. Bu çalışmada öncelikle Alexander Scriabin’in yaşamına değinilmiş, etüt formunun tarihsel kökeni açıklanmış, bestecinin erken dönem müziğinin özelliklerinden bahsedilmiş, bestecinin erken dönem müziğinin genel özelliklerini en iyi yansıtan eserlerinden biri olan Op. 8, No. 12 Etüdü incelenmiştir. Op. 8, No. 12 Etüt yalnızca bu serinin değil bestecinin en çok seslendirilen eserlerinden biridir. Eserin temelini geniş orkestral akorlar ve atlamalı oktavlar oluşturur. Bu yönüyle Scriabin’in ilk dönem müzikal stilinin tüm ögelerini içerisinde barındırmaktadır.

Authors: Prasanth V , Babulu K , Kamaraju M
Published: May 2023

The demand for energy-efficient computing systems has grown exponentially in recent years due to the increasing reliance on electronic devices and the escalating concerns over power consumption. In this paper, we present a comprehensive study on the power evaluation of MIPS (Microprocessor without Interlocked Pipeline Stages) architecture by leveraging power reduction techniques on FPGA (FieldProgrammable Gate Array). Various FPGAs are evaluated for their power characteristics when employing clock gating at different levels of the MIPS architecture. The work assesses the impact of clock gating on power consumption, performance, and area utilization across a range of FPGA platforms. Results indicate significant reductions in power consumption with minimal impact on performance, demonstrating the potential of clock gating as an effective power optimization technique in FPGA-based implementations of MIPS architecture.

Objective: To evaluate the factors associated with the use of the vaginal ring in Venezuelan women of reproductive age, with a desire for contraception and with an active sexual life. Methods: Observational - descriptive, multicenter study. The sample was non-probabilistic, deliberate and voluntary. The vaginal ring was provided for three cycles and follow-up visits were made at the end of the first and third menstrual cycles. Acceptability, tolerability, compliance, menstrual cycle control, and the presence of adverse effects were evaluated. Results: A total of 140 women were included, whose mean age was 31.01 ± 8.14 years. The reasons for selecting the vaginal ring were: effectively prevents pregnancy (69.29 %), easy to use (68.57 %), method of monthly use (65.71 %). The bleeding pattern was reported as regular in 95% of the women in the second consultation and in 92.8% in the third; 88.57% reported absence of intermenstrual bleeding. There was adequate compliance in 97.86%; 96.43% expressed that it was easy to use and 92.86% comfortable at a sexual level. There were no statistically significant differences in the average weight at the second and third consultation (p > 0.05), nor in systolic and diastolic blood pressure (p > 0.05). There were no adverse events in 77%, when there were, the most frequent were headache, nausea and mastodynia; there were no serious adverse events or pregnancy. Conclusion: The contraceptive vaginal ring is a well-tolerated option with excellent acceptance, sexual and general satisfaction, safe, with few adverse events.

Globally, cervical cancer is the fourth most common type of cancer in women and has the fourth highest death rate of cancers in women. Colposcopy is part of the resources available to medicine for the diagnosis and monitoring of preinvasive lesions and cervical cancer. Well-trained professionals are required to perform an accurate and safe colposcopy. The same cytologic outcome has a different risk of intraepithelial neoplasia 2, 3, or cancer in various groups of women, so several populations require special management considerations, including those younger than 25 years, pregnant women, immunosuppressed women, those who underwent hysterectomy, and those older than 65 years. We conducted this review to update the available information on colposcopy in these special populations.

Published: May 2023

The aim of this study is to examine the projects prepared by prospective secondary school mathematics teachers using Scratch for the learning outcomes in the Mathematics Course Curriculum (Secondary School 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grades) in terms of the proficiency level of programming concepts and computational thinking concepts. 73 prospective secondary school mathematics teachers participated in this research in which the case study design was used. Prospective teachers prepared Scratch projects related to the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade level learning outcomes of the Mathematics Course Curriculum. A total of 292 Scratch projects were examined within the scope of the research. Scratch projects were evaluated through the "Scratch Projects Assessment Rubric" and the "Dr. Scratch Assessment Tool". The result of the research showed that most of the criteria in the "Scratch Projects Assessment Rubric" were provided in more projects than at the beginning as new projects were developed by the prospective teachers at different grade levels every week. Nevertheless, it was evident from the Dr. Scratch evaluation that as the prospective instructors utilized the Scratch program, the level of proficiency of the projects they created is improved. It is recognized that this beneficial development has occurred because of the rise in the number of potential instructors who have experience with the Scratch program.

Published: May 2023

A pandemia da covid-19 impôs às escolas uma forma diferente de interagir com os processos de ensino-aprendizagem. Foi necessário sair do ambiente físico e inserir-se no ambiente virtual. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivos averiguar as percepções de uma docente alfabetizadora quanto aos impactos da pandemia, do isolamento social e do ensino remoto em sua atuação profissional e analisar as concepções de alfabetização presentes na sua prática pedagógica. O estudo contou com a participação de uma docente e 25 crianças de ambos os sexos do 1º ano do ensino fundamental de uma cidade goiana. Foram elencados os procedimentos de observação livre de aula virtual e entrevista presencial com a docente. Durante as observações, foram tomadas notas, realizadas gravações de aulas em áudio e vídeo, e feitas imagens e registros de atividades. Também foram recolhidas atividades impressas realizadas pelas crianças. Verificaram-se impactos psicológicos sofridos pela docente, como insegurança, estresse, ansiedade e instabilidade emocional. A docente precisou lidar com o acúmulo de tarefas e reinventar a prática pedagógica, adquirindo novas habilidades com ferramentas tecnológicas. Diante dos desafios, ela se mostrou otimista e proativa. Quanto à concepção de alfabetização, constatou-se que subjaz às atividades pedagógicas propostas com forte ênfase na memorização de letras e sílabas, o que remonta aos métodos tradicionais de alfabetização, analíticos ou sintéticos, presentes em cartilhas silábicas. Conclui-se que a proposta de trabalho pouco difere do que a docente faria de forma presencial, em face da sua concepção de alfabetização.

O artigo discute parte dos dados de uma pesquisa realizada com um grupo composto por 8 bolsistas ID e uma professora supervisora, sendo os mesmos componentes de um Subprojeto do Pibid de Matemática da Universidade Estadual de Goiás. O objetivo do mesmo é investigar de que maneira um coletivo de pibidianos, a partir de uma visão histórica do conceito matemático de polígonos, compreenderam-no não somente como registro geométrico, mas também resultado da vida social humana. O caminho metodológico da pesquisa foi um experimento didático-formativo que perdurou cinco semanas. A estrutura de análise é composta de episódio, cenas e flashes. Os resultados dão indícios da compreensão de que a organização proposta permitiu aos professores em formação a assunção de que o conceito de polígono teve seu surgimento atrelado às necessidades humanas e os tempos históricos.
MATEMÁTICA COMO DESOBEDIÊNCIA POLÍTICO-EPISTÊMICA
Authors: Vicente Eliézer Reis , De Freitas Lúcia Gonçalves
Published: May 2023

Este artigo discute, a partir de uma visão decolonial, o padrão hegemônico da Matemática em espaços de ensino institucional. Por noções como “matemática problematizadora” e “etnomatemática”, que questionam a Matemática institucional, desafiamos tanto a epistemologia do conhecimento matemático como opção única quanto a ontologia dos saberes, tendo em vista que todos os sujeitos, alunos e professores em espaços educacionais atravessam e são atravessados por uma Matemática hegemônica. Embora não neguemos essa Matemática, evidenciamos saberes outros com o intuito de legitimar diferentes caminhos para o ensino dessa linguagem. Apontamos para a necessidade de se fortalecer a construção de resistências e insurgências éticas, estéticas e políticas, no campo pedagógico, colocando a matemática em um plano coletivo e a serviço de lutas sociais, ontológicas e epistêmicas: uma desobediência político-epistêmica.
