Authors: Moons Louana , Ombelet Fouke , Deschodt Mieke , De Roo Maaike L. , Oldenburger Eva , Bossuyt Inge , Pype Peter
Published: November 2024

Background

Palliative care, vital for patients with advanced, life-limiting or life-threatening illnesses, faces an increasing global demand due to aging populations and rising non-communicable diseases. Specialized palliative care teams (PCTs) within hospitals significantly impact patient outcomes, which requires effective interprofessional collaboration with general healthcare workers. Therefore, We will conduct a realist review to explore the contextual factors, mechanisms and outcomes related to the interprofessional collaboration between PCTs and general healthcare workers.

Methods

Grounded in the third generation Cultural-Historical Activity Theory, this review will follow 5-step iterative process. First, a preliminary literature search will define the review scope. Second, based on the preliminary searches an initial program theory will be developed. Third, systematic searches across PubMed, Embase, CINHAL, Web of Science, and Scopus will be caried out. Fourth, data extraction of included studies will be conducted. Simultaneously, relevance and rigour of individual studies will be evaluated. Lastly, data analysis and synthesis will be conducted in which identified individual Context-Mechanism-Outcome (CMO) configurations will be combined in chains of inference through which hypotheses can be formulated. In summary, this realist review will refine an initially developed program theory, producing a framework elucidating how interprofessional collaboration works between PCTs and general healthcare workers.

Discussion

This review aims to provide crucial insights into interprofessional collaboration between PCTs and general healthcare workers, informing optimized palliative care delivery in acute care hospitals for diverse stakeholders.
Organic matter processing by heterotrophic bacterioplankton in a large tropical river: Relating elemental composition and potential carbon mineralization
Authors: Cuevas-Lara Daniel , García-Oliva Felipe , Sánchez-Carrillo Salvador , Alcocer Javier
Published: November 2024

River hydrology shapes the sources, concentration, and stoichiometry of organic matter within drainage basins. However, our understanding of how the microbes process dissolved organic matter (DOM) and recycle nutrients in tropical rivers needs to be improved. This study explores the relationships between elemental DOM composition (carbon/nitrogen/phosphorus: C/N/P), C and N uptake, and C mineralization by autochthonous bacterioplankton in the Usumacinta River, one of the most important fluvial systems in Mexico. Our study investigated changes in the composition and concentration of DOM and evaluated carbon dioxide (CO2)production rates (C–CO2) through laboratory experiments. We compared three sites representing the middle and lower river basins, including their transitional zones, during the rainy and dry seasons. After incubation (120 h at 25°C), the DOM decreased between 25% and 89% of C content. Notably, the initial high proportion of C in DOM in samples from the middle–forested zone and the transition led to elevated C–CO2 rates (>10 mg l−1 day−1), in contrast to the lower initial C proportion and subsequent C–CO2 rates (<7 mg l−1 day−1) in the lower river basin. We also found that dissolved organic carbon uptake and NO3− and NH4+ production were higher during the dry season than in the rainy season. The low water flow in the river during the dry season accentuated the differences in elemental composition and microbial processing of DOM among the sites, while the high water flow of the rainy season homogenized these factors. Our findings indicate that microbial metabolism operates with reduced efficiency in C-rich environments like forests, particularly when faced with high C/N and C/P ratios in DOM. This study highlights the influence of the tropical hydrological regime (rainy and dry seasons) and the longitudinal changes in the river basin (middle and lower) topography and land cover on microbial metabolism by constraining DOM characteristics, emphasizing the crucial role of elemental ratios in river DOM processing.

To eliminate vertical HIV transmission and achieve therapy-free viral suppression among children living with HIV, novel strategies beyond antiretroviral therapy (ART) are necessary. Our group previously identified a triple broadly neutralizing antibody (bNAb) combination comprising of 3BNC117, PGDM1400 and PGT151 that mediates robust in vitro neutralization and non-neutralizing effector functions against a cross-clade panel of simian human immunodeficiency viruses (SHIVs). In this study, we evaluated the safety, pharmacokinetics, and antiviral potency of this bNAb combination in infant rhesus macaques (RMs). We demonstrate that subcutaneous infusion of the triple bNAb regimen was well tolerated in pediatric monkeys and resulted in durable systemic and mucosal distribution. Plasma obtained from passively-immunized RMs demonstrated potent HIV-neutralizing and Fc-mediated antiviral effector functions. Finally, using the predicted serum neutralization 80% inhibitory dilution titer (PT80) biomarker threshold of >200, which was recently identified as a surrogate endpoint for evaluation of the preventative efficacy of bNAbs against mucosal viral acquisition in human clinical trials, we demonstrated that our regimen has PT80>200 against a large panel of plasma and breast milk-derived HIV strains and cross-clade SHIV variants. This data will guide the development of combination bNAbs for eliminating vertical HIV transmission and for achieving ART-free viral suppression among children living with HIV.
Current investigation of neurocognitive functioning in preschool children with cancer: A cross-sectional study from western China
Authors: Chen Zefang , Xu Lifang , Mo Lin
Published: November 2024

Background and aims

Cancer and its treatments may cause neurocognitive impairments in preschool children, but there is limited research on the neurocognitive outcomes of this population. This study, which assessed the neurocognitive function of preschool children with cancer and analyzed various influencing factors of neurocognitive functioning, is of significant importance. We aimed to investigate neurocognitive function and related risk factors in preschool children with cancer to inform preventive and intervention strategies.

Methods

From September 2023 to May 2024, we recruited 100 preschool children with cancer. The Chinese version of the Ages & Stages Questionnaires, the Spence Preschool Anxiety Scale Chinese Version, and the Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children were used to collected data. Binary logistic stepwise regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of neurocognitive function in preschool children with cancer.

Results

49% of the preschool children with cancer had abnormalities in at least one neurocognitive dimension. The majority of children had abnormalities in gross motor dimension, accounting for 30%, which was related to age and frequency of participation in neurocognitive activities. Communication dimension was related to father’s education level, dietary habit, and frequency of participation in activities. Fine motor dimension was associated with age, sex, and father’s education level. Problem-solving dimension was associated with age and dietary habit. Personal-social dimension was related to age and radiotherapy.

Conclusions

Nearly half of preschool children with cancer experienced neurocognitive impairment. The Chinese version of the Ages & Stages Questionnaires is a simple and effective tool for screening children with possible neurocognitive impairment. It was found that children’s neurocognitive function was significantly influenced by family environment, dietary habit, cognitive activities, and cancer treatment. Therefore, it is recommended to strengthen family and social support, and to formulate personalized intervention such as cognitive therapy and dietary adjustment based on children’s age and family background, which are important for promoting neurocognitive recovery.

Current Understanding of ALS Onset, Progression and Treatments
Authors: ROSSMILLER BRIAN , Bagheri Mozhdeh
Published: November 2024

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative motor neuron disorder characterized by the loss of motor neurons in the CNS and spinal cord. The number of ALS patients is expected to increase to about 380,000 worldwide by 2040. Current treatments for ALS provide limited benefits, and the exact cause of the disease is still not fully understood. Genetic and environmental factors, such as mutations in genes like SOD1, C9orf72, FUS, TARDBP, and OPTN, as well as exposure to toxins and oxidative stress, have been implicated in ALS development. ALS is also associated with protein aggregation, mitochondrial dysfunction, glutamate excitotoxicity, neuroinflammation, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and DNA damage. Various therapeutic approaches are being explored, including PARP1 inhibitors, NSAIDs, growth factors like GDNF, and antisense oligonucleotides. Stem cell therapy and gene therapy are also being investigated. Future directions in ALS research include the use of Yamanaka factors to reset epigenetic factors as a possible treatment for the proposed root cause of several neurodegenerative diseases. As the world’s aging population increases the discover of biomarkers for early diagnosis, improved understanding of disease mechanisms and discover of improved treatments is of paramount importance.

Wykluczenie jako problem kulturowy i moralny
Authors: Środa Magdalena
Published: November 2024

Tematem tego tekstu jest próba przedstawienia problemu wykluczenia w szerokim kontekście kulturowym i moralnym. Autorka wiąże problem wykluczenia z różnymi formami dyskryminacji odnosząc je do ogólnych kategorii „obcego” i „innego”. Przyglądając się historii teorii moralnych, dzieli omawiany problem na dwa nurty, jeden związany jest ze światopoglądem uznającym hierarchę a więc uzasadniającym nierówności i wykluczenie „ładem świata”, „naturą”, „wolą Boga”; oraz drugi egalitarno-progresywny, który traktuje równość jako ważny postulat moralny dla wszystkich. Jednak filozofowie tego nurtu skażeni są „ślepotą antropologiczną”, która polega nie tyle na świadomym wykluczaniu innych i obcych, ale na niedostrzeganiu ich istnienia.

Winongo, Gajah Wong, dan Code adalah tiga sungai yang melintasi Yogyakarta. Banyak industri yang membuang limbah ke ketiga sungai ini, sedangkan Cr adalah logam berat yang banyak terdapat pada limbah industri. Berbagai penelitian telah dilakukan untuk melihat potensi fitoremediasi Cr, tetapi umumnya pada limbah cair industri, bukan pada perairan langsung. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengidentifikasi logam berat Kromium (Cr) di ketiga sungai serta potensi fitoremediasinya. Sampel air dan sedimen diambil dari hulu, tengah dan hilir, kemudian kandungan Cr dianalisis dengan Spektrofotometri UV-Vis di Laboratorium Kimia Fakultas MIPA Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta (UNY). Untuk melihat potensi fitoremediasinya dilakukan eksperimen dengan eceng gondok (Eichornia crassipes) dan kayu apu (Pistia stratiotes) di greenhouse FMIPA UNY. Pengukuran kualitas air diujikan ke Laboratorium BBTKL-PP. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan ketiga sungai teridentifikasi cemaran Cr tetapi masih di bawah ambang baku mutu menurut Peraturan Gubernur DIY Nomor 20 Tahun 2008 tentang Baku Mutu Air di Provinsi DIY Kelas 1. Potensi eceng gondok dan kayu apu sebagai fitoremediator air sungai yang tercemar Cr tidak tampak jelas karena konsentrasi Cr pada ketiga sungai masih rendah di bawah ambang baku mutu (<0.05 mg/L), akan tetapi dilihat dari performa tanaman maka kedua gulma ini berpotensi untuk menjadi fitoremediator di sungai yang tercemar Cr.

Authors: Ihsan Taufiq , Derosya Vioni
Published: November 2024

Buah-buahan dan sayur-sayuran segar memiliki umur simpan yang pendek, terutama jika diangkut secara global, sehingga menimbulkan risiko kehilangan pangan/ food loss yang tinggi, terutama di Indonesia. Pentingnya mengatasi kerugian pangan pascapanen memerlukan optimalisasi rantai pasok, sebuah tugas yang rumit mengingat beragamnya faktor penyebab antar produk dan rantai pasok. Tinjauan ini menawarkan strategi pengemasan untuk meningkatkan umur simpan produk segar di seluruh rantai pasokan. Melalui kajian literatur yang sistematis, 57 artikel yang dipublikasikan dari tahun 2014 hingga 2023 di beberapa negara, dipelajari faktor-faktor utama yang berkontribusi terhadap kehilangan pangan. Ini meliputi suhu udara, kelembaban relatif, dan gas pematangan, yang dipengaruhi oleh fisiologi pascapanen, yang menyebabkan perubahan kualitas, matang berlebihan, dan pembusukan mikroba. Tidak adanya rantai dingin, pemantauan kualitas yang tidak memadai, dan manajemen inventaris yang kurang optimal dalam rantai pasokan memperburuk tantangan ini. Identifikasi penyebab kehilangan pangan higrotermal memungkinkan dilakukannya mitigasi terhadap inefisiensi dalam penyimpanan dan pengemasan. Solusi praktisnya mencakup penyesuaian suhu penyimpanan, meningkatkan ventilasi kemasan untuk pendinginan optimal, menjaga kondisi kelembapan yang sesuai, dan menyesuaikan komposisi gas berdasarkan fisiologi unik komoditas. Langkah-langkah pemantauan rantai pasokan juga dirinci guna membantu dalam memahami beragam tindakan, mempercepat pengambilan keputusan, dan mendorong upaya kolaboratif untuk memerangi kerugian pascapanen.

It doesn't need to be so stressful!
Authors: Nyaradi Anett , Valentin Kelly
Published: November 2024

The rapid development of the online delivery in higher education has resulted in a proliferation of research. Key in this work are two critical streams: how to support diverse students in online learning spaces, and the need for greater theorisation to guide educators on the optimal design of such pedagogies. In this study we bring these two streams together by harnessing the lens of self-determination theory (SDT) to explore the experiences of medical students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in their online learning experiences. In doing so, we contribute key theoretical and practical knowledge on supporting innovative, inclusive online learning spaces for our increasingly diverse student cohorts.
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity (American Psychiatric Association, 2022). Studies indicate that the prevalence of ADHD in higher education settings is significant, and medical students are not exempt from this trend with self-reported prevalence suggests it could be as high as 24% (Emmers et al., 2017; Njuwa et al., 2020; Sedgwick-Müller et al., 2022). The nature of medical education, characterised by heavy workloads, time pressures, and complex material, can further pose unique challenges for individuals with ADHD affecting academic performance, professionalism and overall well-being (Im & Tamarelli, 2023). The literature implies that motivational alterations, particularly focusing on internal motivations, exist in people with ADHD, acting as mediators between environmental and social contexts and outcomes including behaviour and performance. Thus, what is the key in this issue is how students are supported to develop and enact their SDT to foster optimal engagement and ultimately their well-being and inclusion (Morsink et al., 2022).
In this presentation we will present our findings of semi-structured interviews with medical students diagnosed with ADHD (n=10). Specifically, our study will organise results in relation to the three dimensions of SDT including: student autonomy, competence and relatedness. Findings include the students’ perceptions of the challenges related to flexible delivery, and how greater choice also at times led to barriers around their study decision-making (e.g., to attend lectures, to study asynchronously). Through our presentation we will further provide recommendations on strategies to create inclusive, autonomy-supportive online learning spaces for ADHD students in higher education settings.

Authors: Henderson Michael , Bradey Scott , Heggart Keith , Huijser Henk , Morgan-May Kristen , Nguyen Nhung , Purdy Daniel
Published: November 2024

This symposium aims to identify key barriers and opportunities in developing learning design as a recognized profession through three provocative discussions. The first provocation challenges the distinctions among learning designers, instructional designers, educational technologists, and similar roles. The goal is to explore the potential for a unified professional identity. The second provocation addresses the lack of official recognition for learning designers, examining sociological theories of professionalization, the implications of formalizing the field, and possible next steps. The third provocation asks what could and should be included in a formal education pathway. As a starting point this provocation will include the comparison of curricula from Monash University, Queensland University of Technology, and University of Technology Sydney. Attendees will engage in lively discussions and contribute insights to advance the recognition and development of learning design as a profession.

Information Disclosure by Informed Intermediary in Double Auction
Authors: Kim Sanghoon
Published: November 2024

In this paper, I study the role of an informed intermediary in improving market efficiency through communication with a buyer and a seller. Based on a double auction setting, I introduce an agent who is partially informed about the private information of a buyer and a seller. The agent can disclose information to either both parties, one party, or none of them. I compare the two most common incentives of the agent, maximizing either trade probability or expected price, in information disclosure. The analysis shows that the former incentive improves efficiency more than the latter; the agent with the former always discloses all relevant information, resulting in not only a higher trade probability but also a higher expected price. The buyer and the seller mostly prefer the agent disclosing information to both parties. When the agent discloses information to only one party, the buyer and the seller desire to be the one who receives the information exclusively. They sometimes prefer the agent disclosing information exclusively to the other party over no information for all. The findings of this paper have important implications for the design of compensation schemes for intermediaries who play a significant role as advisors to market participants.

Published: November 2024

The Weining-Shuicheng Fault (WSF) is a northwest-southeast trending fault in the southwest of the South China Block (SCB), which is an important component of the Yadu-Ziyun Fault Zone. The study of its activity is of great significance for analyzing the boundary role of the Daliangshan secondary block on the SCB. This paper derived the following results through field investigations, high-precision remote sensing image interpretation, UAV photogrammetry, trenching technique, and AMS 14C age. The WSF is northwest-trending with a sinistral strike-slip. It has a total displacement of about 2.5–3.2 km, which is equivalent to that of the southern section of the Daliangshan Fault. There are visible landforms such as fault scarps and fault valleys along the WSF, which control the development of the Caohai Basin. The gully near Weining Airport was caused by left lateral dislocations with a displacement of about 4 m. The Tashan trench revealed two branching faults, cutting the latest strata formed during about 13,000 BC. The Wangjiachong trench revealed five branching faults, cutting the latest strata formed during about 20,000 BC. The northern section of the WSF is flower-shaped tectonic features near the plane and activated in the Late Pleistocene.

Authors: Bindal Tanvi , Sharma Rajni , Jain Vandana , Sagar Rajesh
Published: November 2024

Objectives

Parents of children with differences of sex development (DSD) are known to suffer from psychological distress at the time of diagnosis and thereafter. We analyzed the prevalence of anxiety and depression in Indian parents of children with DSD and its associated risk factors, as well as their experiences, perceptions and expectations from the healthcare system.

Methods

This cross-sectional study included parents of children aged ≤6 years with atypical genitalia. Data was collected through face-to-face semi-structured interview using specially designed questionnaire. Depression and anxiety have been assessed using PHQ9 (Patient Health Questionnaire) and GAD-7 (Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale), respectively.

Results

The current mean age of the 43 children (46,XY=26, 46,XX=16 and chromosomal DSD=1) was 36.5 ± 21.4 months with a median age of diagnosis of 5 months (range- 0–60 months). 68 parents (35 mothers and 33 fathers) were interviewed. The score was above the cut-off for clinically significant depression in 27.2 and 25.7 % of the fathers and mothers, respectively; and for clinically significant anxiety in 15.1 and 28.6 % of the fathers and mothers, respectively. The most significant factor associated with psychological distress was rearing a boy with lower EMS in fathers and lower literacy levels (with higher perception of stigma) in mothers. Absence of family support was associated with high levels of distress in both parents.

Conclusions

There is a high level of depression and anxiety amongst Indian parents of children born with atypical genitalia and requirement for psychological support and counseling.
»Geballte Kampfkraft«?
Authors: Pahl Magnus
Published: November 2024

Die NS-Propaganda glorifizierte die Leistungen deutscher Fallschirmjäger auf Kreta im Mai 1941. Die Kernbotschaft lautete, dass deren überragende infanteristische »Kampfkraft« letztlich den Sieg über die zahlenmäßige Überlegenheit der alliierten Verteidiger ermöglicht habe. Die zeitgenössische interne militärfachliche Auswertung wich gravierend von diesem Propagandabild ab, wie das abgedruckte Dokument belegt. Die Propaganda um die Schlacht um Kreta begründete einen Mythos, der bis heute fortlebt.
Cross-examining the Kagera War: A Plea for Multidirectional Postcolonialism
Authors: Moyd Michelle
Published: November 2024

Military historians can benefit from »multidirectional« postcolonial analyses, which open new possibilities for studying war and militarization. Gendered analysis of the 1978–1979 Kagera War between Tanzania and Uganda crosses the different registers of postcolonialism, inviting military historians to account for war’s multidirectional effects within one frame.
Ein Rückblick auf die Korruption in Russland
Authors: Denisova-Schmidt Elena
Published: November 2024

Empirical research, especially on sensitive topics such as corruption, has always been a challenge – and not only in Russia. Since February 24, 2022, research on corruption has become almost impossible; after three decades of courage and innovation, the topic is now on hold. Anti-corruption research is becoming “undesirable”, along with many of the organizations that are involved in such research, such as Transparency International. This paper, which was written before the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, addresses the challenges of the current corruption paradigm. Using informality as an alternative approach, it focuses on two key areas of post-Soviet life where corruption is often endemic and where anti-corruption practices can best be studied: business and higher education. Russia’s history teaches us that it can be difficult to make accurate predictions, but the country remains an important subject for future research.
Negative concord by phase: multiple downward agree and the parametrization of edge features
Authors: Manzini Maria Rita , Pescarini Diego
Published: November 2024

We divorce Negative Concord (NC) among two or more n-items, which is invariably present in Romance languages, from the mutual exclusion or cooccurrence between clausal negation markers (CNMs) and other n-items. The standard minimalist treatment in terms of Agree with respect to a formal feature [n] (for [negation]) is maintained here. However, an EPP-like principle, conceived as a (parametrized) condition regulating the representation of [n] at phase edges is introduced to deal with CNMs. By divorcing the n-EPP condition from n-Agree, we eliminate Zeijlstra’s Upward Agree in favor of Multiple Downward Agree between a phase head probe endowed with Formal Feature FF and one or more elements endowed with the same interpretable feature FF in the WorkSpace. We argue that these theoretical moves are beneficial from an empirical point of view. Focusing on varieties spoken in Northern Italy, we argue that an exhaustive typology of Romance negative systems can be derived by the parametrized [n]-EPP. We claim that the present approach allows this variation to be accounted for within the syntax – specifically, no recourse is made to semantic variation.
Missachtungserfahrungen und Anerkennungsforderungen unter Jüdinnen und Juden in Deutschland
Authors: Herrberg Niklas , Reddig Melanie
Published: November 2024

Die Studie untersucht, welche Formen der Missachtung Jüdinnen und Juden in Deutschland erfahren. Zwischen Oktober 2021 und Februar 2023 wurden 21 problemzentrierte Interviews geführt. Die Anerkennungstheorien von Honneth und Taylor sowie die Arbeiten von Goffman und Margalit dienen als Heuristik zur Interpretation der unterschiedlichen Erfahrungen. Wir differenzieren vier Formen: Erstens erleben die Interviewten, potenziell nicht als gleichwertige Menschen anerkannt zu werden. Vor dem Hintergrund der Geschichte der Judenverfolgung im Nationalsozialismus sehen sie zweitens, dass ihre rechtliche Gleichwertigkeit missachtet werden kann. Drittens erfahren sie die Missachtung ihrer jüdischen Identität, da sie diese aus ihrer Sicht oft nicht gänzlich selbstbestimmt ausleben können. Abschließend erleben sie eine Reduktion ihrer Identität auf Jüdischsein als Missachtung ihrer individuellen Ich-Identität. Die Auseinandersetzungen mit diesen Missachtungserfahrungen können Ausgangspunkt für Anerkennungsforderungen werden.
Terrorismo, crímenes de lesa humanidad y crímenes de guerra: una propuesta para su necesaria delimitación
Authors: Garrocho Salcedo Ana María
Published: November 2024

La presente contribución aborda la necesaria delimitación de los delitos de terrorismo de los crímenes internacionales, fundamentalmente de los crímenes de lesa humanidad y de guerra, habida cuenta de las notables zonas de intersección que presentan. En ambos casos se cometen delitos muy graves contra las personas por parte de una organización estable de personas que actúan con un propósito delictivo. Sin embargo, en los crímenes internacionales existe una implicación estatal o una quiebra del poder soberano, inédita en los delitos de terrorismo que, precisamente, van dirigidos o enfrentados al Estado. Esta situación explica también que la jurisdicción penal internacional solo quede habilitada allí donde el Estado no quiera o no pueda investigar y juzgar a los presuntos responsables.
Uso de entidades geométricas para el análisis de entidades geográficas en los Sistemas de Información Geográfica usando el modelado de datos orientado a objetos
Authors: Espinoza Pereyra Marcos Fidel
Published: November 2024

This paper proposes a methodology (using Object-oriented data modeling) to use geometrical entities such as “Point” (Punto in Spanish), “Polyline” (Polilínea in Spanish) and “Polygon” (Polígono in Spanish) using an abstract way using their properties and some functions upon themselves, in order to use them in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Programming in an easier way to represent geographical entities. The last part you can see some simple examples about performing these abstractions.
Modelo analítico para evaluar un yacimiento mineral aplicación en un proyecto de minado superficial
Authors: Ortiz Sánchez Oswaldo
Published: November 2024

This study presents a simplified analytical model for ore deposit evaluation for either an orebody in a stage of project or in actual exploitation. Model variables are average ore grades of contained metals, annual rate of ore mined and ore deposit reserves. The model estimates annual net cash income, return on investment and net value of the ore deposit at the investor’s fixed annual interest rate after discounting the total investment. An example of the model application is shown for a copper-zinc ore deposit mined by the open pit method. All three variables of the model are considered to be the most important factors and were chosen from a number of known variables of the annual income flow. The criteria for variables selection follow the 80/20 Pareto rule which shows that 20 percent of the factors account for 80 percent of the results. The surface mining method was chosen by comparing the critical waste to ore ratio of two low cost underground mining methods, with the surface mining system.

Authors: Aramayo-Bazzetti Armando , Bosio-Vier Francisco Javier
Published: November 2024

This research focuses on the presentation of a Solid Waste Management Plan for the district of Lobitos, located in Talara - Piura. The main objectives included carrying out a analysis to evaluate the how things stand locally, characterizing daily household garbage in qualitatively terms and quantitatively too (separated at the source), and developing an appropriate alternative management plan. The study was held out in July 2021, covering a total of 69 houses along 8 consecutive days.The results exposed an average of 1 ton of waste per day, with a breakdown of 39% organic waste, 19% unusable waste, 9% plastics, 9% metals, 9% paper and cardboard, 8% hazardous waste (including fishing nets) and, finally, 7% glass. The average daily volume generated was 4,4 m3, with an average density of 31,624 kg/m3.Based on these results and a survey conducted among public cleaning personnel, insufficiencies were recognized that served as a basis for the formulation of action strategies. These strategies are intended to guide the optimization of waste handling in the area, seeking to improve efficiency and sustainability in waste treatment.
