Associations between fat taste sensitivity, nutritional intakes, body mass index and papillae density in healthy Algerian women: A cross-sectional study
Authors: Allam Ouassila , Benhamimid Halima , Agli Abdel Nacer , Oulamara Hayet
Published: March 2024

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the link between nutritional intake, fat taste sensitivity, papillae density, and body mass index (BMI) in the Algerian women population.
Methods: This work is a cross-sectional study; 140 women were recruited. Weight, height, and waist circumference were measured. Detection thresholds for oleic acid (OA) were determined according to three alternative forced choice method. Based on the cumulative distribution of minimum detection thresholds, participants were classified into hyposensitive ≥ 3 mM and hypersensitive < 3 mM. Food intakes were recorded using 24-hour diaries on three different days. Fatty food consumption frequencies were studied using a frequency consumption survey. Papillae density was determined by tongue photography. Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS software version 25.
Results: Our results indicated that 50 % of our population was overweight including 27 % of obesity. Average OA detection thresholds were greater in overweight and obese subjects compared to normal-weight subjects (p ˂ 0.001). A positive correlation was found between OA detection thresholds and BMI and waist circumference (p ˂ 0.001). Hyposensitive subjects consumed more energy and fat intake compared to hypersensitive subjects. Papillae density was inversely associated with BMI and OA detection thresholds.
Conclusions: The study confirms the association between fat taste sensitivity and weight status in Algerian women. Overweight and/or obese participants were the least sensitive to OA compared to normal-weight participants. Hyposensitive subjects had higher intakes of energy and lipids compared to hypersensitive subjects. They also expressed a lower number of fungiform papillae. Overweight participants also had a lower number of fungiform papillae compared to normal-weight participants. A better understanding of the links between the detection of dietary lipids and energy/fat intakes in obese subjects may lead to new nutritional strategies to limit the risk of obesity.
Autoimmune Hepatitis on a Living Liver Donor: An Unexpected Long-Term Complication
Authors: Canhão Bernardo , Cipriano Augusta , Carvalho Armando , Simão Adélia , Madaleno João
Published: March 2024

In Western countries, deceased donor liver transplantation remains the standard of care for patients with end-stage liver disease. Living donor liver transplantation is a viable and feasible strategy for patients with end-stage liver disease designed to mitigate the deceased organ shortage. Donor safety is the primary concern because liver donors, ideally, should not have any complication. We report a case of middle-aged woman without a history of chronic liver disease who developed autoimmune hepatitis more than 20 years after live liver donation. Changes in these patients' liver enzymes should prompt swift referral to an hepatologist for initial liver disease work-up.
Multiloculated Liver Abscess: A Complication of Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Liver Biopsy
Authors: Andrade Tia D. , Awadalla Mohanad , Mahmood Sultan , Berzin Tyler M.
Published: March 2024

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided liver biopsy is gaining popularity for liver parenchymal sampling due to its detailed visualization of liver anatomy, precision in sampling, and the ability to combine liver biopsy with other endoscopic goals. In this study, we present a case involving an anatomically complex, immunocompromised patient who underwent EUS-guided liver biopsy. While the samples were sufficient and progressed the management of her autoimmune hepatitis, her course was complicated by a multiloculated liver abscess. EUS liver biopsy has an excellent safety profile, but a small risk of infection remains, especially in immunocompromised patients or those with preexisting biliary obstruction.

Published: March 2024

Landslides occur when masses of rock, debris or soil move due to various factors and processes that cause land movement. The Taba Penanjung-Kepahiang route is one of the areas in Bengkulu Province that is highly prone to landslides. This causeway is the only fastest land route connecting the Bengkulu-Kepahiang area. In recent years, the road area has often been cut off due to landslides and fallen trees, which have caused road access to be cut off and obstructed and claimed lives. This study uses a Machine Learning (ML) and GIS approach with Variable Frequency Ratio using 16 independent factors obtained from the spatial database and DEM, which correlate with landslide events. This research aims to gain an in-depth understanding of the factors that cause landslides. In addition, the research focus is the development of a Disaster Mitigation Model to design and implement effective strategies to reduce the risk and impact of landslide disasters through in-depth analysis The dependent factor is the location of the landslide from the historical landslide area for the last five years, with a distribution of 70/30%. Furthermore, frequency ratio is used to analyze the correlation between conditioning factors and historical landslides. Then, the independent and dependent factors were normalized to create a landslide susceptibility map. Frequency Ratio (FR) indicates the likelihood of an event occurring, with drainage density (FR= 0.69), shear wave velocity (Vs30) (FR= 0.66), slope (FR= 0.60), and rainfall (FR= 0.55).  The output of the processed data is in the table below.

Pendekatan lintas lapisan (Cross-Layer) digunakan dalam mengintegrasikan MAC dan lapisan fisik dengan desain yang mengoptimalkan semua parameter. Penelitian ini menggunakan OPNET Modeler 14.5 untuk proses simulasi. Hasil simulasi menunjukkan bahwa konsep cross-layer yang diusulkan lebih efisien daripada pendekatan tradisional dalam hal Throughput, Delay, Media Access Delay, Load, dan data Drop.
Nonlinear problems inspired by the Born–Infeld theory of electrodynamics
Authors: Yang Yisong
Published: March 2024

It is shown that nonlinear electrodynamics of the Born–Infeld theory type may be exploited to shed insight into a few fundamental problems in theoretical physics, including rendering electromagnetic asymmetry to energetically exclude magnetic monopoles, achieving finite electromagnetic energy to relegate curvature singularities of charged black holes, and providing theoretical interpretation of equations of state of cosmic fluids via k-essence cosmology. Also discussed are some nonlinear differential equation problems.

Published: March 2024

Objectives

To present a case of acquired factor VIII deficiency in the setting of labor and describe the challenges of its diagnosis and treatment.

Case presentation

A 31-year-old woman was diagnosed with acquired factor VIII deficiency while undergoing induction of labor. Her labor and post operative course were complicated by epidural hematoma formation, prolonged postoperative surgical site bleeding, and subcutaneous hematoma. Management included blood products, human Factor VII, rituximab, and a steroid taper.

Conclusions

Acquired factor VIII deficiency can be challenging to diagnose and should be considered in the differential diagnosis in patients with prolonged bleeding accompanied by a prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT).
Effect of loading type in concrete deep beam with strut reinforcement
Authors: Kadhim Hussein Kamal , Abdullah Mazin Diwan
Published: March 2024

This study examined eight specimens of two groups of deep beam (DB) with the same dimensions and reinforcement quantity, where the first group had four specimens tested under two-point loads and the second group had four specimens tested under one-point load (Ammash HK, AL-Mousawi MM. Experimental investigation of deep beam reinforced with different types of reinforcement. Eng Technol Appl Sci Res. 2021;11(2):7585–90.) where both groups have the same reinforcement and the dimensions and difference between the groups was only the type of load. Digital image correlation technology software was used to verify the results. Upon examining the results, each group had one reference specimen with conventional reinforcement and the other three specimens were with strut reinforcement. It was observed that the strut reinforcement technique was more effective than the conventional reinforcement. This study also found that the load capacity was decreased at two-point loads from one-point load. The results from the present study were compared to those from a prior study (Ammash HK, AL-Mousawi MM. Experimental investigation of deep beam reinforced with different types of reinforcement. Eng Technol Appl Sci Res. 2021;11(2):7585–90.) that only employed a one-point load. The concrete type, its dimensions, and its method of reinforcing were the same as Ammash and AL-Mousawi’s (Experimental investigation of deep beam reinforced with different types of reinforcement. Eng Technol Appl Sci Res. 2021;11(2):7585–90.) study. The maximum load capacity for SC (Reference DB specimen) and S10 (the deep strut beam employed a specimen with 100% reinforcement from the reinforced web) specimens for one-point load were more tolerant to stress than the two-point loads, with 15% for SC and 27% for S10 as both specimens had comparable amounts of reinforcement. When a force is applied that is less than the sum of the two load points, cracks occur in the shear and flexural zones at one load point. We have found that the use of two-point loads leads to a decrease in the maximum load capacity of specimens when compared with a one-point load. It was also noted that cracks are formed in the shear and flexural zones at one-point load when a load less than the two-point load is applied. It was also observed that when two-point loads were applied to a specimen, the displacement was less than half of what it was when tested under a one-point load, and the strain in specimens examined under two-point load was lower than in specimens examined under one point load.
Cryptanalysis of a privacy-preserving authentication scheme based on private set intersection
Authors: Eskeland Sigurd
Published: March 2024

Continuous and context-aware authentication mechanisms have been proposed as complementary security mechanisms to password-based authentication for computer devices that are handled directly by humans, such as smart phones. Such authentication mechanisms incur some privacy issues as user-dependent features are revealed to the authentication server, which is assumed to be untrusted. Domingo-Ferrer et al. proposed a privacy-preserving protocol for context-aware user authentication on the basis of private set intersection and Paillier homomorphic encryption. This approach enables user authentication based on establishing the number of similarities between sampled user context data and reference context data, without revealing any plaintext data to either party. The authors claim that their scheme is secure against malicious adversaries. In this article, we show that Domingo-Ferrer et al.’s scheme is insecure by means of two undetectable attacks that reveal all user information despite the encryption. The Paillier encryption primitive has a homomorphic property that we observe not only lacks relevance but, indeed, incurs a vulnerability that is exploited in the proposed cryptanalysis. This means that special care needs to be taken considering homomorphic properties of cryptographic primitives used in cryptographic protocols. Our cryptanalysis may therefore have a general interest regarding the design of cryptographic protocols.
Geschichte und Recht. Horizont und Rahmen der Schöpfung
Authors: Koerrenz Ralf
Published: March 2024

Die Interpretation der Signatur „Mensch ist ein Geschöpf (Gottes)“ hängt vom gewählten Referenzrahmen ab. Wenn nicht nur die ersten drei Kapitel des 1. Buches Mose, sondern die gesamte Tora als Rahmen für die Beschreibung des Menschen als Geschöpf herangezogen wird, ergibt sich ein anderes, realistischeres Bild des Menschen als Geschöpf. Neben der biophysischen Beschaffenheit und der biopsychischen Grundausstattung mit Freiheit und Verantwortung wird der Mensch als soziales Wesen sichtbar, das erst in und durch Geschichte verstanden werden kann. Vor dem Horizont der Geschichte bekommt dann das Recht als Rahmen der Schöpfung jene zentrale Funktion, an der sich die Freiheit und Verantwortung des Menschen als Geschöpf kreativ zu bewähren hat.

Authors: ERBAŞ Rahime
Published: March 2024

İskoç ceza muhakemesinde savcının cezai uyuşmazlığı soruşturma evresinde sonlandırmaya ilişkin yetkileri, oldukça kapsamlıdır. Savcı, bu hukuk sisteminde adeta soruşturma evresindeki hâkim konumundadır. İskoç ceza muhakemesi örneğinde savcının cezai uyuşmazlığı sonlandırma yetkilerinin incelenmesini konu alan bu çalışma ile yargının olağanüstü iş yükünün güncel bir mesele olduğu Türk hukukuna katkı sunabilmek hedeflenmiştir. Birçok ülkede olduğu gibi Türkiye’de de yargının iş yüküne çözüm üretilmesinde genellikle yetkileri gözden geçirilen ilk basamak, savcılık makamı olmaktadır. Türk hukukunda savcıların artan yetkileri karşısında, itham- tahkik skalasında Türk ceza muhakemesi ile taban tabana zıt bir anlayışı temsil eden İskoç ceza muhakemesinin örnek olarak incelenmesinde fayda görülmüştür. Bu doğrultuda çalışmada sırasıyla; İskoçya’da ceza muhakemesinin “bir sistem” değil; “otonom birimler” tarafından yürütülen faaliyetler alanı olarak görülmesi şeklindeki metodoloji ortaya koyduktan sonra (I) İskoç savcısının İngiltere ve Galler’den farklılıklarını göstereceğiz (II) ve İskoçya’daki savcı ve savcılık teşkilatına (III) yer vereceğiz. Sonrasında bazı dava örnekleriyle savcının geniş yetkilere sahip oluşu (IV) ele alındıktan sonra savcının soruşturmayı nihayetlendirmesinde ilk aşama (delilleri değerlendirme) (V) ile maslahata uygunluk (kamusal menfaat) incelemesi ve değerlendirmesi aşamasını (VI) ortaya koyacağız. Son olarak savcının, kamu davasının alternatiflerini (direct measures) uygulama yetkisi ile onarıcı adalet gibi diversiyonlara yönlendirme yetkilerinden (VII) bahsedeceğiz.

Processamento de classes de palavras em adultos com e sem gagueira
Authors: Vasconcelos Correia Débora , Weissheimer Janaina , Lopez Estivalet Gustavo , Ferrari Neto José
Published: March 2024

Este artigo apresenta um estudo experimental que objetiva testar a proposição fundamental da Teoria Integrada da Fluência, que é conceber a fluência verbal como uma habilidade linguística. A partir da Linguística, Psicolinguística e Neurociência da Linguagem, investigaram-se componentes de potenciais relacionados a eventos (ERPs) eliciados por palavras de classe aberta e fechada, em adultos com e sem gagueira. A hipótese é que, por ser a fluência verbal uma habilidade linguística, seu desenvolvimento típico está diretamente relacionado aos processos de identificação e acesso a traços formais, enquanto a gagueira, por ser um transtorno da fluência, está relacionada a dificuldades na representação de traços formais no léxico mental e/ou em acessá-los durante a computação on-line. Para testá-la, realizou-se um experimento com paradigma misto. Participaram 14 adultos que gaguejam e 14 adultos fluentes, com idade média de 24,6 anos, numa tarefa de leitura silenciosa de frases, concomitante ao registro da atividade elétrica cerebral por meio da eletroencefalografia. Os resultados mostraram que as classes de palavras provocaram distintos ERPs. A análise da atividade elétrica cerebral subjacente ao processo de identificação categorial das palavras foi a principal diferença entre os grupos. Tal constatação contribuiu para a assunção da fluência verbal como uma habilidade linguística.
A szülői értékpreferenciák hatása a kollektív áldozati vélekedések transzgenerációs átadására
Authors: Kengyel Judith Gabriella
Published: March 2024

Háttér és célkitűzések: Korábbi kutatások alapján a kollektív áldozati vélekedések továbbadásra kerülnek szülők és gyermekeik között. Az értékek számos vizsgálat szerint összefüggenek a politikai preferenciákkal, illetve a nemzeti identitással. Jelen tanulmány összefüggéseket célzott meg feltárni a szülői értékpreferenciák és a fiatal felnőtt gyermekek kollektív áldozati vélekedései között. Módszer: Kérdőíves vizsgálatunk során 114 szülő-gyermek diád szerepelt a mintában. Vizsgálati eszközeink között felhasználtuk a Nemzeti azonosulás magyar kérdőívét, a Kollektív áldozati tudat kérdőívet, illetve a Schwartz motivációs értéktípusai kérdőívet (Portrait Values Questionnaire). Eredmények: Eredményeink szerint kapcsolat van a szülők által vallott értékek, illetve a szülők és gyerekeik nemzeti identitáshoz kapcsolódó kötődés és glorifikáció dimenziói, illetve kollektív áldozati vélekedései között, továbbá vizsgálatunk megerősítette, hogy a szülők, illetve gyermekeik értékei között pozitív együtt járás figyelhető meg, alátámasztva korábbi kutatások eredményeit. Jelen kutatásban a konzervációhoz köthető értékek esetében láthattuk a legerősebb összefüggést, ezek külön-külön is összefüggést mutatnak az exkluzív áldozati vélekedésekkel és az áldozati tudat észlelt fontosságával, illetve a nemzeti azonosulás kötődés és glorifikáció dimenzióival. Következtetések: Eredményeink szerint a szülők értékrendje nem közvetlenül kapcsolódik a gyerekeik nemzeti identitáshoz tartozó nézeteihez, hanem a szülői nemzeti identitással kapcsolatos nézetein, valamint a kollektív áldozati vélekedésen keresztül. A saját csoport felsőbbrendűségét, illetve a saját csoport áldozatiságát illető vélekedések tehát kapcsolatban állnak a szülők által vallott értékekkel.
A Tárgyiasított Testtudat Skála (OBCS) működése magyar nyelven
Authors: Őry Fanni , Meskó Norbert
Published: March 2024

Háttér és célkitűzések: A nőket jelentős szociokulturális nyomás éri a fizikai megjelenésükkel kapcsolatban. A Tárgyiasított Testtudat Skála (Objectified Body Consciousness Scale) képes kimutatni a nők közötti egyéni különbségeket abban, hogy a fizikai megjelenésükre vonatkozó társadalmi elvárásokat mennyire internalizálják. Jelen kutatás célja kettős. Egyrészt szeretnénk reflektálni egy korábbi magyar cikkre, amely a fenti kérdőívvel foglalkozott. Másrészt szeretnénk bemutatni, hogy ez a több nyelven is jól mérő kérdőív magyar nyelven is használható az eredeti faktorokkal. Módszer: Első vizsgálatunkban egy online kérdőívcsomagot használtunk, amelyet 770 nő (M = 30,1 év; SD = 11,3; 18–71 év) töltött ki. A kérdőívcsomag a Tárgyiasított Testtudat Skálát (OBCS), a Kozmetikai Műtét Elfogadása Skálát (ACSS) és a Testedzésfüggőség Skálát (EAI) tartalmazta, továbbá felmérte a saját testtel kapcsolatos elégedettség szintjét is. Második vizsgálatunkban 102 egyetemista nő (M = 20,7 év; SD = 2,13; 18–29 év) vett részt. Az adatfelvétel személyesen történt, ahol a priming helyzet után a következő kérdőívcsomagot használtuk: Tárgyiasított Testtudat Skála (OBCS), Kozmetikai Műtét Elfogadása Skála (ACSS) és a Rosenberg-féle Önértékelés Skála (RSES). A faktorstruktúra vizsgálatához a JASP, míg a validáláshoz a Jamovi programot használtuk. Eredmények: Elemzéseink szerint a Tárgyiasított Testtudat Skála magyar verzióján is jól működik az eredeti hármas faktorstruktúra. A három faktor a következő lett: Test felügyelet, Testszégyen, Kontroll hiedelmek. Az elvárásoknak megfelelően a magasabb fokú tárgyiasítás szignifikánsan összefügg a saját testtel való magasabb elégedetlenséggel, a kozmetikai műtétek iránti nagyobb nyitottsággal, a testedzésfüggőség kialakulásának fokozott veszélyével, illetve az alacsonyabb önértékeléssel. Következtetések: Összességében, a Tárgyiasított Testtudat Skála magyar nyelven is megfelelőnek bizonyult a nők testükkel kapcsolatos, tárgyiasításhoz fűződő tapasztalatainak mérésében, az eredetileg meghatározott faktorstruktúrát alkalmazva.
A Női Színlelt Orgazmus Kérdőív magyar változata (FOS)
Authors: Csányi Edit , Őry Fanni , Meskó Norbert
Published: March 2024

Elméleti háttér

A női orgazmusszínlelés jelenségének tanulmányozására fejlesztett egyik mérőeszköz a Faking Orgasm Scale for Women (FOS; Női Színlelt Orgazmus Kérdőív), amely a nők orgazmusszínlelési szokásait vizsgálja két különböző helyzetben. Ennek köszönhetően alaposabb megértést nyerhetünk az orális szex fogadásakor és közösüléskor alkalmazott orgazmusszínlelés komplex folyamata mögött meghúzódó okokról.

A kutatás célja

A vizsgálat célja a Faking Orgasm Scale magyar változatának elkészítése, pszichometriai ellenőrzése és validálása.

Módszer

A kutatásban használt két mintán online kérdőívcsomagokkal végeztük a felmérést. A kérdőív faktorszerkezetének elemzésekor 2220 női kitöltő (átlagéletkor = 24,4 év; SD = 7,48 év; 18–80 év között) adataival dolgoztunk. A validáláshoz az előző minta egy része, 768 nő (átlagéletkor = 22,6 év; SD = 4,54 év; 18–48 év között) töltötte ki a kérdőívcsomagot: Női Színlelt Orgazmus Kérdőív (FOS), a Nők Szexuális Működési Modelljei Kérdőív (WSWMS), és a Szexuális Motiváció Kérdőív (YSEX?-HSF).

Eredmények

A faktorelemzés megmutatta, hogy a Női Színlelt Orgazmus Kérdőív magyarra fordított változata illeszkedik az eredeti változat faktorstruktúrájára. A különböző okokból színlelt orgazmus eltérő szexuális működési modellekkel és szexuális motivációkkal mutat együtt járást. Továbbá a színlelő és nem színlelő nők között különbség mutatkozott a szexuális elhatárolódásuk mértékében és partnerük gondoskodásának megélésében. A színlelőkre jellemzőbb, hogy személyes szexuális céljaik elérése érdekében és az érzelmi nehézségekkel való megküzdésként vesznek részt szexuális tevékenységekben, mint nem színlelő társaikra.

Következtetések

Eredményeink azt mutatják, hogy a magyar mintát vizsgáló kutatók számára egy megbízható, jól hasznosítható eszköz áll rendelkezésre. Mivel a Női Színlelt Orgazmus Kérdőív magyar változata egy prediktív eszköznek tekinthető, számos szexualitással és párkapcsolattal összefüggő kutatásban alkalmazható.
The Viennese Cuisine before Hitler – ‘One Cuisine in the Use of Two Nations’
Authors: Belovari Susanne
Published: March 2024

This article asks whether the famous historical Viennese Cuisine was perhaps a shared culinary product, practice, and legacy of Viennese Jews and non-Jews alike. Trying to search for answers led me along paths of archival and historical research as part of which I met many Viennese Holocaust survivors, formed close friendships with them, and learnt from their stories. The context within which I situate my culinary history is deeply influenced by my interdisciplinary background and my work as a former Holocaust restitution historian and archivist for the Jewish Community of Vienna, Austria (IKG), where I rebuilt the historical IKG archives the National Socialists had closed down. If this culinary research helps to unearth, acknowledge, and honour the contributions of Viennese Jews to our Viennese Cuisine; if it helps us see the complexities involved in everyday culture and its most simple of acts; if it helps us understand that a genocide kills and maims people and cultures; if it helps us to remember and honour the Viennese Jews I met along the way as well as the amazing grandparents on both sides of my family who held on to the humanity of their neighbours, friends, and their own in troubling and dangerous times, then this research served its purpose.

Published: March 2024

The concept of using algae as a raw material for biofuel production has been gaining popularity in recent years due to the surging cost of crude oil, the rapidly declining natural resources of oil, and issues related to global warming (caused by the burning of fossil fuels). Algae, characterized by lipid contents ranging from 20 to 70%, exhibit considerable potential as energy crops in cultivation. Various biofuels are produced from algae, including biodiesel, bioethanol, biobutanol, methane, and biogas. The main factors influencing algae growth are the availability and intensity of light, temperature, nutrient concentration, and CO 2 availability. Microalgae are grown in open systems (ponds) or closed systems (photobioreactors). Macroalgae, on the other hand, are cultivated in coastal zones of seas or similar aquatic reservoirs. Among microalgae, Botryococcus braunii and Chlorella vulgaris are taxa that produce significant amounts of oil, while the macroalgae commonly cultivated and used for biofuel production is Macrocystis pyrifera.

Plastics are an important material in our economy and everyday life. Thanks to low production costs and the ability to form them into various shapes, they have become the most universal material in the world. Plastics are mass-produced for applications in packaging, construction, electrical and electronics, textiles, transportation and agriculture. Global plastic production in 2021 amounted to 391 million tonnes. As a result of physical, biological, chemical or thermal processes, these materials decompose, forming particles called microplastics (MP) and/or nanoplastics (NP), which have become a significant environmental pollutant in the last decade. These xenobiotics are found in the air, water, soil, as well as in living organisms. They may also cause adverse effects on human health.

El estudio consistió en identificar el agente causal de la muerte descendente de ramas en guanábana en los municipios de Compostela y San Blas, Nayarit, México. Lasiodiplodia es un patógeno poco estudiado respecto a su patogenicidad y hospederos en México. Lo cual, reafirma la necesidad de conducir estudios que involucren caracteres morfológicos y genéticos de Lasiodiplodia, especialmente por la asociación de un complejo de especies crípticas. De los tejidos de guanábana con síntomas aparentes de muerte descendente se obtuvieron 9 aislamientos con caracteres morfológicos macro y microscópicos típicos de Lasiodiplodia. Los cebadores universales ITS4 e ITS5 permitieron la identidad molecular de especies de Lasiodiplodia, L. theobromae (6 aislamientos), L. pseudotheobromae (1 aislamiento), L. venezuelensis (, 1 aislamiento) y L. iranensis (1 aislamiento). Donde solo se confirmó la patogenicidad del aislamiento de L. theobromae (4To2) del cual se confirmó su identidad con la secuenciación de TEF1a utilizando los cebadores EF-728F y EF-986R, el aislado indujo marchitamiento de hojas, muerte de ramas y lesiones necróticas en los ápices vegetativos.

Objective： The purpose of this scoping review is to investigate factors associated with rotator cuff tear pain and summarize them into incidence, exacerbation, and remission factors. Introduction： Rotator cuff tears are one of the most common shoulder disorders. A variety of associated factors have been cited in observational studies, and systematic reviews have examined factors associated with symptomatic rotator cuff tears. However, no reports differentiate pain factors into developmental, exacerbating, and remitting factors. Inclusion/exclusion criteria： The study will include patients whose physicians have diagnosed non-traumatic rotator cuff tears using Magnetic Resonance Imaging or ultrasound echo. Outcomes will be a pain, the severity of rotator cuff tear, physical function, and psychological factors. The study design will be observational, with no restrictions on region, race, gender, or language of the original paper. Methods： A systematic search of PubMed, Web of Science,CINAHL(EBSCO), PEDro, and Embase (Dialog) databases using the keywords “rotator cuff tear,” “pain,” and “etiology” will be conducted during March 2024.In the first screening step, two independent reviewers will review all of the titles and abstracts to exclude irrelevant articles. In the second screening step, two independent reviewers will review all of the full texts to exclude irrelevant articles. Outcomes will focus on rotator cuff tear severity, pain, physical function, and psychosocial factors, categorizing factors associated with pain according to each study design and identifying incidence factors, exacerbating factors and remission factors.
Sequencing-based Neutralization Assay for Influenza A Virus v1
Authors: N. Loes Andrea , Araceli L Tarabi Rosario , Bloom Jesse
Published: March 2024

Traditional neutralization assays for influenza virus test a single viral strain against a single serum sample in each measurement. Here we describe a sequencing-based approach for neutralization assays that can measure the titers of serum samples against many viruses at once using the same serum volume and workflow of a traditional neutralization measurement. This method relies on incorporating a nucleotide barcode into the hemagglutinin genomic segment of the influenza virus, pooling many barcoded viruses together, and then using Illumina sequencing to read out the neutralization of all of the viruses in the pool at once. Here we provide the step-by-step protocol for running these assays with serum samples.

Lembang area is one of the contributors to water pollution in the Cibeureum and Cikapundung rivers which empties into the Citarum river. One of the things that pollute it is animal waste because some residents habitually throw it directly into the river. The program's dedication in the form of Kuliah Kerja Nyata (KKN), published in this article, aims to increase the awareness of residents and students about the importance of sorting and processing waste. Also, providing education that maintaining cleanliness in Cikole has helped reduce the problem of the Citarum river. It includes education about composting as a way to process animal manure. The method used is value planting and a synergy approach. Some of the programs carried out are the Harum Citarum Seminar by the TNI SATGAS, river carcasses, composting, making organic, inorganic, and B3 trash cans, social services or cooperation, and the commemoration of the Republic of Indonesia's anniversary. After implementing the program, most residents and school students realized the importance of protecting the environment, as seen by the amount of waste disposed of carelessly in several areas. The community has also understood the importance of keeping the environment clean, especially around the river.

Abstrak  The problem of corruption is not something new in a country. In fact, corruption is not uncommon to be one of the reasons for the breakdown of a government system. Corruption does not only occur on a large scale, but also on a smaller scale such as schools. Corruption encountered in schools usually includes cheating, truancy, or using BOS (School Operational Assistance) funds for inappropriate things. These things may seem trivial because they do not cause any fatal impact. However, if this continues, it will gradually get bigger. This is what underlies the purpose of carrying out community service in the form of webinars or seminars via online. The participants who became the main target were students of SDN 8 Nagrikaler Purwakarta. The briefing on the importance of anti-corruption culture from an early age became the outcome obtained by the participants in this webinar. The focus of the discussion in this webinar is to introduce students to what can be called corruption and also to equip students about the importance of avoiding corrupt behavior.  Kata kunci: Antikorupsi, korupsi, mahasiswa Abstrak Permasalahan mengenai hal-hal yang baru di suatu Negara. Bahkan korupsi tidak jarang menjadi salah satu alasan rusaknya suatu sistem pemerintahan. Korupsi tidak hanya terjadi dalam skala besar, namun juga dalam skala lebih kecil seperti sekolah. Korupsi yang ditemui di sekolah biasanya seperti mencontek, membolos, atau menggunakan dana BOS (Bantuan Operasional Sekolah) untuk hal-hal yang tidak semestinya. Hal-hal tersebut mungkin terlihat sepele karena tidak menimbulkan dampak fatal apapun. Namun hal tersebut jika terus dibiarkan, lambat laun akan semakin besar. Hal itulah yang tujuan pelaksanaannya pengabdian kepada masyarakat berupa webinar atau seminar via daring. Partisipan yang menjadi sasaran utama adalah para siswa SDN 8 Nagrikaler Purwakarta. Pembekalan mengenai pentingnya budaya antikorupsi sejak dini menjadi luaran yang diperoleh oleh peserta dalam webinar ini.

Abstract: Water scarcity phenomenon during the dry season due to the diminishing groundwater sources (wells) is frequently observed in urban residential areas. On the other hand, heavy rainfall with high intensity leads to flooding and frequent disasters during the rainy season. Rainwater harvesting systems are simple, inexpensive, and do not require specialized skills or knowledge, but they are not widely practiced by the community. The practice of rainwater harvesting is important as an alternative water source to meet daily needs. There are three basic components that should be present in a rainwater harvesting system: 1) catchment, which is the rainwater collection surface such as rooftops; 2) delivery system, which is the system for channeling rainwater from the roof to the storage container through gutters; and 3) storage reservoir, which is the place to store rainwater such as a tank, which is then directed to a storage tank for electrolysis to obtain bacteria-free water and water with high pH content that can be consumed safely and healthily. Rainwater harvesting activities are carried out in one of the houses in Villa Mutiara Housing, Sawah Baru Village, Ciputat Subdistrict, South Tangerang City. This activity results in the local community utilizing the processed (electrolyzed) rainwater for safe and healthy consumption.Abstrak: Fenomena kekeringan/ kekurangan air saat musim kemarau karena sumber air tanah (sumur) yang semakin berkurang sering terjadi di wilayah perumahan perkotaan. Di sisi lain, hujan deras yang mengguyur dengan intensitas tinggi mengakibatkan banjir dan menimbulkan bencanasering terjadi saat musim penghujan. Sistem pemanen air hujan merupakan teknik yang sederhana, murah dan tidak membutuhkan keahlian atau pengetahuan khusus, namun belum banyak dilakukan oleh masyarakat. Praktek memanen air hujan penting sebagai alternatif sumber air untuk memenuhi kebutuhan sehari-hari. Terdapat  tiga komponen dasar yang harus ada dalam sistem pemanen air hujan yaitu: 1) catchment, yaitu penangkap air hujan berupa permukaan atap; 2) delivery system, yaitu sistem penyaluran air hujan dari atap ke tempat penampungan melalui talang; dan 3) storage reservoir, yaitu tempat penyimpan air hujan berupa toran yang selanjutnya disalurkan ke bak penyimpan  untuk dielektrolisis guna mendapatkan air bebas  dari bakteri dan mendapatkan air dengan kandungan pH tinggi untuk dapat dikonsumsi dengan aman dan sehat.Kegiatan pemanen air hujan dilakukan di salah satu rumah warga di Perumahan Villa Mutiara, Kel. Sawah Baru, Kec. Ciputat, Kota Tangerang Selatan. Hasil dari kegiatan ini, warga masyarakat setempat dapat memanfaatkan air hujan yang telah diolah (elketrolisis) untuk dikonsumsi dengan aman dan sehat.
