Cutaneous chronic wounds: A worldwide silent epidemic

Chronic wounds develop due to the defective regulation of one or more of the complex cellular and molecular processes involved in proper healing. Here Manuela Martins-Green explores novel potential treatments for wound chronicity. When a wound does not heal within 4 weeks or once aftercare has been provided, it's classed as a chronic wound. It is reported that 1-2% of people in developed countries will experience chronic wounds at least once in their lifetime. In the US alone, they impact ~8.5M people and cost ~$28B/year, not accounting for the pain and suffering patients endure, psychologically, physically and financially. There are several types of chronic wounds: Diabetic wounds develop in diabetic patients and are usually localized to the lower limbs, primarily in the foot, and, hence, the name Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFUs). Pressure ulcers (bed sores), commonly develop in individuals who suffer from impaired sensation, malnutrition or are confined to a wheelchair or bed. Venous and arterial ulcers develop in individuals with impaired circulation. Other wounds that do not heal may develop from a surgery, an accident, chemical exposure, etc.

Ensuring healthier pets through improved nutrient precision in pet foods

Improved nutrient precision in pet foods is critical to pets, people & planet; Dennis E. Jewell, PhD from Kansas State University & Matthew I. Jackson, PhD from Hill's Pet Nutrition, explain. Pet parents require accurate labeling of the energy content of foods for their dogs and cats to feed them the appropriate amount of nutrition. However, determining the dietary energy present in food is not trivial. The difference between what pets eat and what they excrete is absorbed energy. In practice, only some pet food companies have the resources to assess the energy content in food directly. Alternatively, regulatory agencies such as the American Association of Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) provide equations based on published data for pet food companies to predict food energy levels.

Microbial farming for habitat recovery in the Taiwanese mountains

Professor Tzen-Yuh Chiang's team at National Cheng Kung University looks toward microbial farming in the mountains slopes of South Taiwan to aid habitat recovery, as low-land slopes have been affected by climate change. The team have taken soil structures and underground water into account when helping these slope habitats recover, using sustainable engineering methodologies to stabilize the slopes with vegetation, allowing new species to grow strong roots to increase the adhesive forces in soil. Their other methodologies of accelerating habitat recovery for slope farms include through the revegetation of native plants from neighboring forests, and understanding the importance of soil health with a high diversity of microbes that can interact with plant roots.

Exploring the partnership between the agriculture and social welfare sectors

The intrinsic value of the partnership between agriculture and social welfare sectors can help us to enrich the way that we work, and how we think about work. As an equivalent to what is called “social farming” or “care farming” in the West, the term “partnership between agriculture and social welfare” has now entered the regular Japanese vocabulary. The advocates emphasize its advantage of linking the shorthanded agricultural sector with the people excluded from the existing labor market by offering job opportunities to them. The article in the preceding issue illustrated that the intrinsic value of the partnership between agriculture and social welfare is not limited to such an advantage, mentioning my own initiative targeted at homeless laborers and young trainees receiving employment support. However, I also faced several challenges, which may be inevitable when urban dwellers without rural background attempt farm work.

Exploring the entrepreneurial ability of women

Dr Jennifer E. Jennings from the University of Alberta, and her colleagues investigate the common portrayals of – and recommendations regarding – women's supposed entrepreneurial under-confidence, that men ‘naturally' possess an appropriate level of confidence in their entrepreneurial ability. Jennings and her co-authors suggested that men might be prone to overestimating this ability, believing that their entrepreneurship-related skills are better than they are in reality. They found that the lower average level of entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE) exhibited by women relative to men tends to be interpreted as evidence that women are ‘deficient' in this regard, and conducted two distinct studies, finding that the gender gap in ESE does not necessarily imply that women are under-confident in their entrepreneurial ability.

Making fair data a reality for photons and neutrons

Andy Götz, the coordinator of PaNOSC for ESRF, looks at FAIR data – an initiative to deliver research data to the scientific community to use. The scientific world is undergoing a major revolution with the widespread adoption of the so-called FAIR principles for research data. FAIR stands for Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable and was first published in a paper in Nature in 2016(1). The catchy mnemonic was originally proposed at a Lorentz Workshop in Leiden, The Netherlands, in January 2014, named: Jointly designing a Data FAIRport. In a nutshell, the FAIR principles were proposed to ensure research data are made available to the scientific community in such a way that they can be found, downloaded, understood and reused.

Legacy pollution and our struggle to control non-profit source pollution

Changes to the natural landscape are pervasive. The construction of dams, alterations to river water courses, flood controls, farming, urbanization and deforestation all contribute to the current condition of our water resources. Compounding this are alterations in precipitation driven by changes in climate. We now see greater intensification in precipitation and widespread variability in distribution. This creates what many authors describe as a “wicked” problem. Our freshwater streams and rivers flow through an altered landscape driven by an intensifying water cycle. Improvement in water quality is a very difficult task. To tackle legacy pollution and non-point source pollution, we must identify the sources, sinks and hot spots – but is it already too late?

Paediatric autism communication therapy impoved long-term child outcomes

Paediatric Autism Communication Therapy is currently the only scientifically evidenced early social communication intervention to demonstrate long-term improved child social communication outcomes into middle childhood. Despite Autism being an enduring condition affecting 2% of people globally, evidenced intervention to improve the developmental impairments is limited. Paediatric Autism Communication Therapy (PACT) is currently the only scientifically evidenced early social communication intervention to demonstrate long-term improved child social communication outcomes into middle childhood. The PACT intervention has shown long-term improvement of autism core symptoms within randomised clinical trials (RCTs). PACT relatively low-intensity approach is referenced in UK national guidance for the new autism care pathway from pre- to post-diagnosis and education support.

Biodiversity COP15 - A stepping stone towards effective access and benefit sharing

Here, Dominic Muyldermans and Markus Wyss explore the opportunities and challenges on the journey towards effective access and benefit sharing across the globe. The objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) of 1992 are the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, as well as the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising out of the utilization of genetic resources. The CBD recognizes that countries have sovereign rights over their genetic resources and already included the principles of Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS). These ABS principles have been further operationalized in the Nagoya Protocol, which entered into force in 2014.

Tracking animal migration with stable isotopes

Keith A. Hobson from Western University and Environment and Climate Change Canada, walks us through tracking animal migration with stable isotopes, starting with some background information. Animal migration is one of the most iconic of all natural phenomena and humans have marvelled at animals' ability to navigate over vast distances often under arduous conditions. Periodic to-and-fro migration is the most familiar form, and birds have clearly captured our imagination on that front with their conspicuous annual movements and arrivals between continents. However, how animals successfully move in this way is still not fully appreciated, and a full understanding will ultimately involve expertise from diverse disciplines.

PopART: Universal testing and treatment to stop HIV spread

Here, Professor of Epidemiology & International Health Richard Hayes explores and details the PopART study and other trials of Universal Testing and Treatment, a promising strategy to reduce HIV spread. The incidence of new HIV infections has decreased over the past decade, but much too slowly to meet the UNAIDS targets aimed at “eliminating” HIV as a major public health problem by 2030. There are around 38 million people worldwide living with HIV, and 1.5 million new infections each year. Clearly, more effective prevention strategies are needed if the elimination target is to be met.

Revolutionizing systematic reviews: the ASReview project's call for trust and transparency in AI-aided screening tools

In today's era of information overload, the number of scientific papers and policy reports on any given topic is increasing at an unprecedented rate, argues Full Professor Rens van de Schoot at Utrecht University. While active learning is an effective tool for screening large amounts of textual data and can save up to 95% of screening time, scholars often develop narrower searches, increasing the risk of missing relevant studies. Looking to ensure transparency and trustworthiness when screening literature for relevant studies – unlike a simple Google search or asking chatbots like ChatGPT a question – Professor van de Schoot notes that systematic reviews are critical for scholars, clinicians, policy-makers, journalists, and ultimately, the general public, but aims for more transparency. To ensure the trustworthy implementation of AI in the screening process, software tools need to be fully transparent. The exact algorithms they use to produce the ranking scores should be known, or even better, the source code needs to be available so experts can check (and adjust) the implemented algorithms. He argues that the decisions made by the AI throughout the process should be transparent for the identification and correction of mistakes made by both humans and machines.

Published: April 2023

Herniation of the ovaries is a rare congenital anomaly that may be complicated by strangulation, torsion, and infertility. Female pelvic structures such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes, ligaments, and uterus can rarely enter inside a hernial sac.  The Aim of this review was to emphasise the fact that early intervention can save ovary from complication and infertility of the patient. A systematic search was conducted from literature published up to 2013 using the Google Scholar™ databases along with the references of the full-text articles retrieved. Papers on observational studies and case reports concerning ovaries in the inguinal canal were considered eligible for inclusion in the review. Seventeen papers comprising 24 patients (mean age45.5) were evaluated. A left-sided hernia was noted in 18 cases (75%) whereas 4 patients had a right-sided hernia(25%).This case is unique in its existence because of age of presentation (0ne Month) and comormids of horse shoe kidney. Ovarian inguinal hernias can present as early as on day one of birth. Thorough history and examination followed by investigations can lead to prompt and adequate treatment. In women of reproductive age, repair of the hernia with the intent to preserve fertility is of critical importance.

The aim of this study was to compare Orthopantomograms (OPT) and Computed Tomography (CT) with Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) in patients with Medication-Related OsteoNecrosis of the Jaws (MRONJ). The study included 25 patients (6 males and 19 females) with MRONJ who had a history of long-term bisphosphonate therapy or one of the recently re-entered MRONJ drugs and underwent OPT, CT and/or CBCT for determination of the extent of disease. We excluded patients with maxillary neoplasia. Considering the presence of early and late signs, OPT was diagnostic in 6 out of 17 cases (35%), while CT and CBCT were diagnostic in 25 out of 25 cases (100%). Analysing the different radiant doses delivered by the selected radiological methods on a phantom, it was found that a more significant effective dose was spread by CT (2.6 mSv) than CBCT (0.164 mSv) or OPT (0.02 mSv). CBCT, from our experience, is a candidate to replace OPT in the first diagnostic step in patients with suspected MRONJ, generating less effective doses and artefacts from metal components than CT.
Enfermedad hepática grasa no alcohólica: ¿en qué vamos?

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease worldwide. It affects approximately 3 out of 10 patients and, if not treated promptly, it could lead to cirrhosis and progress to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). NAFLD is defined as >5% fatty infiltration of liver parenchyma documented by biopsy; if there is also evidence of inflammation and lobar degeneration, it is called non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The main risk factors associated with this condition are being overweight or obese, diets rich in refined carbohydrates and ultra-processed foods, type 2 diabetes mellitus, sedentary lifestyle, and metabolic syndrome. This promotes an increase in the visceral adipose compartment, insulin resistance and a disproportionate increase in fatty acid deposits in the liver. Patients are generally asymptomatic and are diagnosed taking into account risk factors, documentation of hepatic steatosis by imaging or biopsy, exclusion of other causes of hepatic steatosis and absence of pre-existing chronic liver disease. Treatment is based on a multidisciplinary approach seeking weight loss, regular physical activity and a healthy diet; however, in certain selected cases, vitamin E should be started. Some patients who have not received adequate treatment will require liver transplantation, especially if there is end-stage liver disease.
Síndrome de Ovario Poliquístico en adolescentes
Authors: Abad-Londoño Verónica
Published: April 2023

Diagnosing polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) during adolescence is challenging due to features of normal pubertal development overlap with adult diagnostic criteria. The international evidence-based PCOS guideline aimed to promote accurate and timely diagnosis, to optimize consistent care, and to improve health outcomes for adolescents and women with PCOS. This article is a descriptive review of published data and synthesizes adolescent PCOS guidelines recommendations. Specific criteria to improve diagnostic accuracy and avoid over diagnosis include: 1) Irregular menstrual cycles defined according to years’ post-menarche; > 90 days for any one cycle (> 1-year post-menarche), cycles <21 or>45days (>1 to <3years post-menarche); cycles < 21 or > 35 days (> 3 years post-menarche) and primary amenorrhea by age 15 or>3years post-thelarche. Irregular menstrual cycles (< 1-year post-menarche) represent normal pubertal transition; 2) Hyperandrogenism defined as hirsutism, severe acne and/or biochemical hyperandrogenism confirmed using validated high-quality assays; 3) Pelvic ultrasound not recommended for diagnosis of PCOS within 8years post menarche; and 4) exclusion of other disorders that mimic PCOS. For adolescents who have features of PCOS but do not meet diagnostic criteria an ‘at risk’ label can be considered with appropriate symptomatic treatment and regular re-evaluations. Menstrual cycle re-evaluation can occur over 3years post menarche and where only menstrual irregularity or hyperandrogenism are present initially, evaluation with ultrasound can occur after 8years post menarche. Screening for anxiety and depression is required and assessment of eating disorders warrants consideration. Recommendation of healthy lifestyle interventions to prevent excess weight gain should be recommended. For symptom management there are different options. In conclusion, PCOS is diagnosed in adolescents with otherwise unexplained persistent hyperandrogenic anovulatory symptoms that are inappropriate for age and stage of adolescence. The diagnosis of PCOS has lifelong implications, with increased risk for infertility, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular events, and endometrial carcinoma.

Today the development of technology is very rapid both in the field of basic science and the modification of a tool and even modifications in the field of engines, both combustion engines and electric engines. Modifications are needed to improve the performance of a machine. Modifications that can be applied to diesel engines that use fuels such as MFO, diesel, and biosolar. Diesel oil is the result of distillation of petroleum which is used only as fuel for compression ignition engines used by injectors. Biodiesel or biosolar is a type of fuel made from vegetable oil. The main objective of developing biodiesel is to substitute fossil fuels to produce green, environmentally friendly energy. The research we conducted was on the Caterpilar C15 Engine at PLTD Laiwui, and used biodiesel fuel (B30). Data collection is carried out when the machine is operating normally. From the data, we process it by analyzing it so we can find the main problem. From the results of the analysis, we get the root of the problem, namely the engine often shuts down because the pressure drops in the fuel system, this is caused by a dirty filter. From the results of the analysis, the researchers made a plan to modify the fuel system on the Caterpilar C15 engine at PLTD Laiwui. The modification applied is to add a material filter before entering the machine. then a performance test was carried out for 1 week and the modified data was compared with the initial data before the modification.

Girls are a group that is highly susceptible to the human trafficking crime. Even so, there were still very few researches on this crime from the victim's perspective. This research aims to identify various negative implications caused by human trafficking crime based on the victim's perspective through a victimological approach. The method used in this research is a qualitative method with a normative juridical approach. The data used in this research is primary data obtained from several informants, these are Health Extension Officer Kusuma Bongas and several victims who were survivors of human trafficking, through in-depth interviews and observations. According to the research findings, human trafficking is a serious crime that has a wide-ranging take effect across multiple sectors. In addition to social effects, human trafficking has negative legal consequences as well as it leads to various criminal offenses such as prostitution, the physical, sexual, and psychological exploitation of children, violations of labor laws, and other crimes. For the victims of this crime, there is still potential for unfairness and legal ambiguity due to the law's imperfect implementation in this subject. Therefore, it is important to improve the judiciary system, specifically the fair and strict laws against the human trafficking crime, in order to provide victims safeguards and have a deterrent impact on offenders.

Published: April 2023

Tax receivables are part of the Directorate General of Taxes' revenue sources therefore tax receivables are part of the state's rights that must be realized as an integral part of state revenue. Unable to realize state revenue from tax receivables due to expiration of tax debt collection, the case is considered as a state financial loss. If the expiration of tax debt collection is caused by maladministration by tax officials, it will become the personal responsibility of tax officials. This research uses a normative type of research, which is a research that has been conducted with reference to the legal norms contained in the applicable laws and regulations. This research examines the liability of tax officials for the expiration of tax debt billing. The approach used in this research is a descriptive analysis, by describing the analysis of the regulation regarding the liability of tax officials for the expiration of tax debt billing. The process of collecting tax receivables is limited by the expiration of tax collection, which is 5 (five) years from the date of tax assessment or can be suspended if there are certain actions, one of which is the issuance of a coerce warrant. For tax receivables that have expired collection, Indonesian Audit Board has provided a recommendation in the form of an administrative warning to DJP, which means that Tax Officials have implemented all laws and regulations and procedures for collection actions that have been determined, so that the expiration of collection becomes a Official Liability.

Published: April 2023

Okra or commonly known in its Latin as abelmoschus esculentus are one of the green vegetables that is most consumed around the world and is utilized as medicine. Due to post-harvest losses, inadequate storage facilities lead to customers losing fresh okra. Therefore, farmers use traditional drying preservation methods by utilizing solar heat. The research objectives is to identify and evaluate the antinutrient, mineral, and proximate compositions of fresh and dried okra obtained from Gusau Market in Nigeria. Researchers analyzed and compared the samples using standard analytical methods and statistical packages from IBM SPSS version 21. The analysis revealed that the fresh and dried okra samples had the following amounts of water, ash, protein, fiber, carbs, lipids, and total energy: 75.30-8.56%; 1.85-8.05%; 16.44-77.25%; 4.30-2.03%; 0.18-3.15%; 1.93-0.96%; and 56.11-325.76%. While concentrations of mineral elements of fresh and dried okra are 98.22-97.80; 5.45-4.45; 9.75-9.35; 78.52-69.35; 21.36-19.26; and 30.52-29.60 in mg/100g respectively. The phytochemical screening shows the presence of Tannin, Oxalate, Phytate, Saponin, Phenolic, Flavonoid and Alkaloid. For sampling of fresh and dried okra, the amounts of flavonoid and alkaloid in mg/100g are 18.6-17.95 and 10.64-15.14, respectively. There is no significance different in proximate, mineral elements and anti nutritional content between fresh and dried okra samples. Therefore, the researchers can decide that the traditional way by utilizing solar heat is still being utilised by most of farmers. The appropriate method for farmers to prevent lossing okra when post-harvest is having conducive environment for them in order to avoid possible contamination.

MITIGATION OF LANDSLIDE PRONE AREAS IN ANTICIPATION OF CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS
Authors: Priyono  , Triatmojo Siswadi , Rahayu
Published: April 2023

In general, landslides occur when the upward slope is higher than the retaining force which is caused by high rainfall intensity, land slope, load and impermeable layer, soil solum thickness, and soil type. The restraining force is generally controlled by the resistance of soil shear, the density and strength of plant roots and the strength of rocks. This disaster also often occurs in Indonesia, which has many mountains that stretch across the country. This research aims to determine landslide-prone areas, landslide types, dominant factors that cause landslides and landslide mitigation in anticipation of the impact of non-structural climate change. The research included 3 stages, such as pre-field, field, and post-field which are interrelated and complementary.

Notaries perform the operational duties of public officials authorized by the state to create authentic legal documents. One of the notary's functions is to provide fee waivers (honorarium) when the public who needs notary services can show evidence of poverty from authorized officials. This research aims to provide insight into the professional practices of notaries involved in corruption cases that harm the state. When a notary commits an irregularity in a deed that results in a criminal case, they must be criminally responsible for whatever they have committed. This research uses the normative juridical method, i.e. law in book research or literature study with statute, conceptual, historical, and system approach. A notary must be held accountable for a deed if it contains a criminal act. The responsibility is in the form of strict sanctions following the law's implementation with the Criminal Code and the Criminal Procedure Code. Notarial deeds that cause criminal cases have evidentiary power as deeds under the hand or become null and void as stipulated in Article 41 of the Notary Public Office Law.
