Authors: Eric Almeida Xavier  , Isabela Canavezzi Matias  , Anelise Freitas Sandei
Published: April 2024

B16F10 (B16) murine melanoma cells have the characteristic of strong adhesion to culture surfaces. The use of trypsin solutions in high doses to release this type of cell is not suitable. When B16F10 cells are released with high concentrations of trypsin they do not form a precipitate after centrifugation and consequently the cells will be lost when discarding the supernatant. To solve this problem, we established a solution with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) at low trypsin concentrations. Finally, we verified the efficiency of this solution on the quantity of cells recovered after centrifugation.

Colorectal cancer is malignancy that originates from epithelium lining of colon and rectum. GLOBOCAN reported that the incident in 2018 were 18 million new cases and 9.6 million deaths in global world. The Indonesian cases reached 34,189 in 2020. COX-2 suspected to play role in colorectal cancer carcinogenesis. Several studies have stated that any COX-2 expression in colorectal cancer, but research that shows correlation with prognostic factors is still controversial. This study aims to determine COX-2 expression in colorectal cancer using immunohistochemistry examination and the correlation with histopathological grading, depth of tumor invasion and regional lymph node metastasis. This research used analytical observational design, sample consisted of 30 paraffin blocks of colectomy patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer in 2022-2023 as well as medical record data from histopathological results. The analysis used univariate and bivariate analysis. Chi Square test results of COX-2 expression showed 100% positive staining with categories strong 93.4%, and moderate 6.7%. Results Spearman correlation test of COX-2 expression with histopathological grading obtained p value 0.856 (correlation not significant), correlation with the depth of tumor invasion obtained p value 0.763 (correlation not significant), and correlation with regional lymph node metastasis obtained p value of 0.023 (negative correlation). Overexpression of COX-2 was found in colorectal cancer and no correlation was found with the prognosis markers studied. Further research on COX-2 is needed by comparing other molecular markers such as KRAS, TP53, TILs.

Published: April 2024

Introduction: Proximal tibia non-unions and mal-unions can present particular challenges in their management because of a short proximal segment, excessive misalignment and soft tissue compromise. Available options in the management should consider the biomechanical demand of that anatomical location. The aim of this study was to determine the long-term functional outcomes of patients treated with open reduction and internal fixation with 95° angled blade plate (ABP). Materials and methods: Total of twenty nine patients with a proximal tibial non-union and mal-unions were retrospectively treated between September 2016 and March 2022. Eighteen (62%) were non-unions, and eleven (38%) were mal-unions. The male were 21 (72%) and female were 8 (18%); Right tibia in 16 patients, and left tibia in 13 patients. Among the non-unions twelve were originally closed fractures, and six were open fractures. While among the eleven mal-unions, Eight were varus deformity and three were valgus deformity. All cases were treated with a consistent approach of debridement, deformity correction, angled blade plate fixation, and with or without bone grafting. Only 5 patients who presented with non-union had bone graft. Results: All the twenty nine patients’ fixations healed within an average of 30 weeks, and alignment was within 5° of anatomic in all cases after follow up for a median 3.2 years (range 1.8 to 6.6). The average duration of union after surgery was 4.5 month (range 3 to 7.5 month). The outcome were 23 (79%) excellent; 4 (14%) good; 1 (3.5%) fair, and 1 (3.5%) poor result based clinical and radiological evaluations of pain, range of knee motion, limb length, fracture healing and overall satisfaction with daily living activities. Conclusions: For clinical and biomechanical consideration, 95° ABP could be a very suitable implant in the management of metaphyseal non-union and mal-unions of the proximal tibia with high success rate.

Heavy metal pollution of arable soils reduces their productivity, hence the need for ecofriendly techniques to ameliorate this increasing menace. In this study, cow dung, poultry wastes and their composites were applied as organic supplements, together with Bacillus sp as plant growth promoting rhizobacteria to amend bioremediation of zinc-polluted soil sample. Effects of amendments on physicochemical, mineral contents, and dehydrogenase activity of soil, as well as on corn seedlings growth rate, protein and chlorophyll contents and bioaccumulation of Zn were analyzed. Results demonstrated an increase in pH and nutrient contents including N, organic carbon, soil organic matter, K etc., of amended soil samples. Amendment with composite of two organic supplements produced highest increase in dehydrogenase activity, recording 2.35±2.04 µgTPFg-1h-1 at 33.75 mg/kg, and 2.19±0.04 µgTPFg-1h-1 at 52.55 mg/kg level of Zn pollution. Number of leaves recorded in most samples reduced with increasing Zn pollution, with seedlings grown on soil samples amended with cow dung alone outperforming others and recorded 10.3±0.5, 11.3±0.5 and 12.3±0.5 leaves at 32.75 mg/kg, 42.02 mg/kg and 52.44 mg/kg levels of Zn pollution respectively. Heights of seedlings in most of amendments also decreased with increasing Zn pollution. Also, seedlings grown on samples treated with cow dung alone were tallest, and recorded 109.0±3.4 cm, 115.8±4.3 cm and 127.3±2.6 cm at 32.75 mg/kg, 42.02 mg/kg and 52.44 mg/kg levels of Zn pollution respectively. Zn bioaccumulation different parts of corn seedlings was generally in the order; roots>leaves>stems, while it was; control samples>composite of poultry wastes and cow dung samples>only poultry wastes samples>only cow dung samples, for various treatments. This buttresses the usefulness of organic amendments, especially cow dung, in bioremediation of Zn-polluted soil used for agricultural activities.

Authors: Eugene Adenya Ashiagbor  , Aba Akebi Atta-Eyison
Published: April 2024

Ascorbic acid is one of the most important vitamins to the human body due to its potentially protective role as an antioxidant. Oranges by far the most important citrus species are an excellent source of ascorbic acid. The ascorbic acid in three varieties of Ghanaian local oranges was estimated after storage under four different storage conditions. The storage conditions were deep freezing, dark cupboard, open shelf and in the sun. The redox titrimetric method using potassium iodide as the titrant and starch as an indicator was employed to evaluate the ascorbic acid levels in the orange samples after two, four and six days. The result shows a decrease in the ascorbic acid content of oranges over the storage periods. The decrease was expressed as a percentage loss of ascorbic acid originally in oranges. Less ascorbic acid was lost with the refrigerated orange samples compared to the other storage conditions. A huge loss of ascorbic acid was however lost with the samples that were exposed to the sun.

Authors: S. Venkatesan
Published: April 2024

Aging involves the progression of becoming older, encompassing physical, mental, and social changes that take place in individuals over time. The longer lifespan and decreasing fertility rates have brought attention to the difficulties experienced by elderly people with disabilities. A survey method was used to collect titles of articles from different electronic databases, both online and offline, in national and international journals, as well as chapters or full-length books in the fields of gerontology and disability studies. The resulting list of 95 entries up to March 2024 was examined using the SANRA guidelines (Scale for the Assessment of Narrative Review Articles: Baethge, Goldbeck-Wood, & Mertens, 2019), aided by a flow chart and harvest plot to visually present the findings. The main focus was on clarifying fundamental terms related to aging with and into disability, successful aging, atypical aging, psychological aging, premature aging, and others. This type of clarification, which is not yet available from a single source, is considered necessary for aspiring researchers in this field to choose specific topics or themes for further study. The findings provide valuable insights for future considerations and opportunities for additional research.

Boosting Sustainable Consumption Behaviour Through Consumer Education in the Fashion Retail and Service Environment
Authors: Spagnoli Alessandra , M. Iannilli Valeria
Published: April 2024

Due to the growing environmental impact of the fashion industry, the demand for sustainable consumption is currently an urgent issue. The exponential increase of textile waste and the progressive reduction of product lifespan call for a shift to circular models, and in this context, consumer awareness has also become crucial. The retail environment, driven by an increasing shift towards a servitisation of the consumer experience, with its associated Product-Service Systems (PSSs), can provide a compelling opportunity to nurture consumer awareness, thus acting as a proactive mechanism to induce more responsible and sustainable behaviour. Within this framework, retail design is emerging as a key driver for sustainable behavioural changes in fashion consumption. This article, therefore, reflects on how fashion brands are actively orchestrating strategies within retail, defining dedicated PPSs to promote responsible consumption practices involving informative content, empowerment tools and co-creation initiatives that, going beyond awareness, can evolve into advocacy.
Design: Episteme and Doxa. Co-design as an Opportunity to Share Choices
Authors: Perondi Luciano , Bisson Mario
Published: April 2024

This paper delves into the concept of co-design, a collaborative approach involving stakeholders in the conceptualization and design phases to understand diverse perspectives and jointly define project directions. Examining the relationships between co-design, Design Thinking, and user-centred design, the paper emphasises distinctions in their goals and methods. It addresses potential biases in co-design processes, providing strategies to mitigate analogical relations, cognitive effort minimization, and emotional influences. Epistemological reflections highlight the efficacy of participatory methods in generating theoretical hypotheses while underscoring the need for evidence-based validation. The article explores co-design’s applications in speculative design and ludo-didactics (game design). In speculative design, co-design aids in framing problems and generating plausible contextualizations, while in game design, participatory processes, particularly playtesting, enhance the exploratory and refinement phases. The paper suggests avenues for further research, emphasising the strategic placement of Co-design processes in project phases, considering potential biases, and exploring its application in disruptive innovation contexts.
Synesthetic Identities
Authors: Scarpitti Chiara , Piscitelli Daniela , Rosmino Antonella
Published: April 2024

Synesthetic identities is part of a research study that looks at the landscape as a living organism, mutable and connected to a complex ecosystem of physical and immaterial elements. Starting with well-established theoretical principles, the paper describes an experiment conducted in 2021 using brain-computer interfaces to demonstrate how the visual landscape is not immutable, identical for everyone, and static in time. Instead, it strictly depends on the relationship established with the viewer and the interpolation of a series of variables - sound, colour, and light - that influence perception. The outcome demonstrates how it is necessary to rethink visual landscapes by looking at them as plural, mutable systems, constantly reconfigured by the relationship with the human body, thus opening up new design possibilities in the field of visual design.

In this research, we discuss the influence of international business or trade on Indonesia's economic growth. We use quantitative research methods and hypothesis testing to evaluate the relationship between international trade and economic growth in Indonesia. The results of this research show that international trade has a positive influence on Indonesia's economic growth, which can be seen from the increase in the value of exports and foreign exchange remittances. Apart from that, we also find that Indonesia's international trade has changed since the 1980s, where Indonesian exports began to be dominated by oil and gas commodities, which reached their lowest point in the 1980s. These export commodities include manufactured oil products, crude oil from mining, LPG gas and other manufactured gas, as well as natural gas from mining. Apart from using oil and gas commodities, non-oil and gas exports are also the main focus of Indonesian government policy to increase state income and create jobs.
