BACKGROUND

Cross-sectional relationships between psychosocial resilience factors (RFs) and resilience, operationalized as the outcome of low mental health reactivity to stressor exposure (low “stressor reactivity” [SR]), were reported during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

OBJECTIVE

Extending these findings, we here examined prospective relationships and weekly dynamics between the same RFs and SR in a longitudinal sample during the aftermath of the first wave in several European countries.

METHODS

Over 5 weeks of app-based assessments, participants reported weekly stressor exposure, mental health problems, RFs, and demographic data in 1 of 6 different languages. As (partly) preregistered, hypotheses were tested cross-sectionally at baseline (N=558), and longitudinally (n=200), using mixed effects models and mediation analyses.

RESULTS

RFs at baseline, including positive appraisal style (PAS), optimism (OPT), general self-efficacy (GSE), perceived good stress recovery (REC), and perceived social support (PSS), were negatively associated with SR scores, not only cross-sectionally (baseline SR scores; all P<.001) but also prospectively (average SR scores across subsequent weeks; positive appraisal (PA), P=.008; OPT, P<.001; GSE, P=.01; REC, P<.001; and PSS, P=.002). In both associations, PAS mediated the effects of PSS on SR (cross-sectionally: 95% CI –0.064 to –0.013; prospectively: 95% CI –0.074 to –0.0008). In the analyses of weekly RF-SR dynamics, the RFs PA of stressors generally and specifically related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and GSE were negatively associated with SR in a contemporaneous fashion (PA, P<.001; PAC,P=.03; and GSE, P<.001), but not in a lagged fashion (PA, P=.36; PAC, P=.52; and GSE, P=.06).

CONCLUSIONS

We identified psychological RFs that prospectively predict resilience and cofluctuate with weekly SR within individuals. These prospective results endorse that the previously reported RF-SR associations do not exclusively reflect mood congruency or other temporal bias effects. We further confirm the important role of PA in resilience.

COVID-19 created lots of distortions in the world. This study investigated effect of COVID-19 on academic performance among selected senior secondary school students from Ghana. WASSCE results from 2017/2018 through 2021/2022 academic sessions were considered to determine order in academic performance before, during and after COVID-19. Two research questions and hypotheses were stated, while a descriptive correlational survey was adopted, and convenience sampling technique employed to select needed sample for the study. WASSCE results of five (5) academic sessions were extracted for core subjects in senior high schools for pre-, during, and after COVID-19. Data used are standardized scores with reliability coefficients of 0.5, 0.6 and 0.7 respectively at p=0.01 (2-tailed). Data collected were analyzed using frequency and percentages. Results revealed that highest and lowest mean scores recorded occurred in 2017/2018 and 2021/2022 academic sessions respectively. Also, the relationship between academic performance after COVID-19 was established to be significant and stronger than the relationship between academic performance before COVID-19 which was weak but, not significant. Models introduced into the school system during COVID-19 should continue since academic performance in the core subjects is improving as desired by stakeholders in education.

Pengaruh Pemikiran al-Dihlawi Mengenai Taklif dalam Kitab Hujjat Allah al-Balighah terhadap Pemikiran Sastera Islam Mohd. Affandi Hassan dalam Gagasan Persuratan Baru
Authors: Narmi Akalily , Abdul Rani Mohd. Zariat , Kamarudin Kamariah , @ Toklubok Pabiyah Hajimaming
Published: October 2023

This study stems from the contribution of al-Imam al-Shaykh Ahmad Qutb al-Din Shah Waliyullah ‘Abd al-Rahim al-Dihlawi or better known by the name of Shah Waliyullah al-Dihlawi (henceforth al-Dihlawi), an Islamic scholar who was born in the 18th century in India. Among his most well-known book is Hujjat Allah al-Balighah which was published in 1732 and has been translated into several languages ​​including English, Indonesian and Malaysian language. This translation explains the importance of this book, especially the influence of al-Dihlawi’s ideas among Muslims outside the region of India. In this context, this study argues that al-Dihlawi’s ideas particularly on the philosophy of taklif in Hujjat Allah al-Balighah has also influenced the thoughts on Islamic literature in Malaysia. These influences are manifested in the postulation of “Persuratan Baru” (translated by Mohd. Affandi as “Genuine Literature”) by Mohd. Affandi Hassan. This study aims to discuss al-Dihlawi’s ideas on the philosophy of taklif in Hujjat Allah al-Balighah, and further conclude on his contributions to Mohd. Affandi Hassan’s Persuratan Baru. This study utilises the content analysis method for analysing study materials which are texts. This study finds that al-Dihlawi’s Hujjat Allah al-Balighah among other explicates the philosophy of taklif which refers to the imposition of divine accountability and responsibility upon man. By utilizing taklif, Persuratan Baru frames literary activity in the context of fitrah, i.e., the natural human inclination to submit to Allah S.W.T. The use of taklif in Persuratan Baru also enables the evaluation of literary works based on their portrayal of true Islamic values.

Published: October 2023

Background and Objectives: In 2020, the Association of Family Medicine Residency Directors (AFMRD) Diversity and Health Equity (DHE) Task Force developed and piloted a framework to measure diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in medical residencies across five domains: curriculum, evaluation, institution, resident pathway, and faculty pathway. The objectives were (1) to measure DEI initiatives across multiple domains in family medicine residencies using the DEI milestones and (2) to obtain current national baseline data providing criteria against which to measure effectiveness of initiatives and create tailored benchmarks.
Methods: We developed a cross-sectional survey of 12 quantitative residency characteristic items and the five DEI milestone ratings, and distributed the survey to program directors of family medicine residencies accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education in the spring of 2022. We generated descriptive statistics, including item frequencies and cross-tabulations, and completed subgroup comparisons with analysis of variance.
Results: We collected aggregate milestone data for 194 family medicine residencies of 588 eligible programs (33% response rate). Respondents represented 48 states and US territories: 107 community-based, university-affiliated; 48 community-based; 34 university-based; and 5 military/other programs. Overall, the curriculum milestone was rated the highest (mean=2.54, SD=1.03), whereas the faculty pathway (mean=1.94, SD=1.04) and resident pathway (mean=2.02, SD=1.06) milestones were rated lowest.
Conclusions: DEI milestone data may support residency programs as they assess their institution’s developmental progress across five key domains. Additionally, aggregate data may shed light on collective strengths and areas for improvement.

Published: October 2023

The rapid advancement of technology 4.0 has resulted in significant changes in society’s lifestyle, bringing both benefits and complex issues, including those in higher education. To address these challenges, university leaders play a crucial role in leveraging digital technology toward a better future. This study aims to assess the implementation of digital leadership in achieving a world-class university in the era of Industry 4.0 in state universities in Malang City. Using a quantitative approach and survey research design, the study’s population comprises students and lecturers from four state universities in Malang City. From the population of 151,921, 347 respondents were selected using Isaac and Michael’s (1983) formula with a 5% error rate. The study collected data through a questionnaire and analyzed it using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) and Microsoft Excel to present descriptive data on the perspectives of the three parties. The one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) used in this study tested the hypothesis that there is no significant difference in the implementation of digital leadership in state universities in Malang City. The results revealed a significant difference in the implementation of digital leadership. The academic community in state universities in Malang City strongly agreed that their leaders need to provide the necessary information systems to achieve digital leadership toward a world-class university. However, digital leadership is not yet comprehensively implemented.
RegTech: Analysis of the aggregators in the Swiss startups’ ecosystem during the pandemic
Authors: Battanta Luca , Magli Francesca
Published: October 2023

Following the Great Financial Crisis, the emergence of digital technologies and the end of banking secrecy (“Swiss say goodbye to banking secrecy”, 2017), financial technology (FinTech) and regulatory technology (RegTech) startups have been offering products in the financial regulatory sector. This trend has increased since the outbreak of COVID-19. Most of the studies on RegTech have focused on reviewing the literature on the macro context and the issues of vast amount of regulation (Arner et al., 2017). Today the academic literature about case studies in regulatory technology is not proposing any solution of cooperation or aggregation of RegTech’s startups in Switzerland. Due to the lack of papers about RegTech in Switzerland, we adopt an approach already used for case studies in the FinTech area (Foster & Heeks, 2013; Burtch et al., 2013) through exploratory investigation through interviews and literature review. The findings of our article have allowed us to analyse the topics and the applications in the RegTech ecosystem provided by startups to Swiss banks. We examine also the aggregations, incubators, and associations active in Switzerland Swisscom, International RegTech Association (IRTA), and F10 (a Swiss FinTech incubator based in Zurich) to examine how they can bring RegTech solutions of the RegTech startups into the banks.

Published: October 2023

With the burgeoning development of antiangiogenic therapy, various of
antiangiogenic drugs have been developed and applied to cancer
treatment. Nonetheless, for antiangiogenic drugs, the confined tumor
targeting ability as well as the nonspecific bio-distribution often
compromises the therapeutic outcome and causes serious multi-organ
injury. In this study, we programme a reconfigurable DNA framework
nanotube (rDFN) for manageable delivery of antiangiogenic drugs to
minimize their damage to normal tissues. The fastened tubular structure
of rDFN circumvented the direct expose of cargo endostar (Endo), a China
Food and Drug Administration-approved antiangiogenic drug, to normal
tissues. Meanwhile, the outside bedeck of rDFN with AS1411, a specific
DNA aptamer for tumor-overexpressed nucleolin, conferred the encased
Endo with greater tumor-targeting ability. Upon entry into tumor sites,
nucleolin-responsive fasteners would be opened, allowing the controlled
release of Endo. Based on the protective loading and activable unloading
of Endo, an amplified anti-tumor effect and a reduced multi-organ injury
were concurrently achieved. Conclusively, our work opens a new avenue
for reducing antiangiogenic therapy-induced multi-organ injury.
Insights from a 30-year study demonstrate an inverse correlation between recreational activities and red deer fecundity, with bodyweight as a mediator

Published: October 2023

Human activity is omnipresent in our landscapes. Animals can perceive
risk from humans similar to predation risk, which could affect their
fitness. We assessed the influence of recreation on bodyweight and
pregnancy rates of red deer (Cervus elaphus) between 1985 and 2015. We
hypothesized that stress, as a result of recreational activities,
affects pregnancy rates of red deer directly and indirectly via a
reduction in bodyweight. Furthermore, we expected non-motorized
recreational activities to have a larger negative effect on both
bodyweight and fecundity, compared to motorized recreational activities.
The intensity of recreational activities was recorded through visual
observations. We obtained pregnancy data from female red deer that were
shot during the regular hunting season. Additionally, age and bodyweight
were determined through post-mortem examination. We used two
Generalized-Linear-Mixed Models (GLMM) to test the effect of different
types of recreation on 1) pregnancy rates and 2) bodyweight of red deer.
Recreation had a direct negative correlation with the fecundity of red
deer, with bodyweight as a mediator as expected. Besides, we found a
negative effect of non-motorized recreation on fecundity and bodyweight
and no significant effect of motorized recreation. Our results support
the concept of humans as a ‘super predator’ affecting wild animal
populations at a population level and plead to regulate recreational
activities in protected areas that are sensitive. The fear humans induce
in large-bodied herbivores and its consequences for fitness may have
strong implications for animal populations and the regeneration,
structure and composition of forests and related fauna.
Species composition determines bioplastics production in photosynthetic microbiomes: strategy to enrich cyanobacteria PHB-producers
Authors: Altamira-Algarra Beatriz , Lage Artai , Garcia Joan , Gonzalez-Flo Eva
Published: October 2023

The aim of this study was to set the operating mode in regards to
nutrients, temperature and light to use as a strategy to enrich a
microbiome rich in cyanobacteria in polyhidroxybutyrate (PHB)-producers
in order to enhance the biopolymer production. Alternate growth and
accumulation phases were conducted for 179 days in a 3 L
photobioreactor. Although, presence of green microalgae potentially
reduced PHB production, the microbiome produced up to 22 % dry cell
weight (dcw) PHB. Results highlighted the important role of culture
composition and suggested that this methodology could be applied to a
robust microbiome rich in cyanobacteria to boost PHB production.
Physical modeling of gelatinous zooplankton sinking in the deep global ocean

Published: October 2023

Decaying gelatinous zooplankton (GZ) originating from surface waters has
been proposed as a possible major contributor to the biological carbon
pump. However, studies arrived at largely diverging conclusions
concerning the role of decaying GZ as organic matter supply for the
deep-sea heterotrophic biota. We complement previous approaches to GZ
sinking by proposing the first dynamically consistent physical model
coupling GZ sinking speed and its mass. We evaluate GZ contribution to
deep-ocean carbon sequestration and to the soft-tissue carbon pump by
solving the model equations on the global ocean grid employing monthly
climatological temperature fields and published exponential and linear
temperature dependencies of mass decay rates. We present the global
ocean distribution of the fraction of GZ-mass sinking out of the
euphotic zone (200 m depth), twilight zone (1000 m depth) and the
fraction of mass reaching the global ocean floor. Solutions in the upper
water column are strongly dependent on the mass decay rate. Since most
of the decay happens in the initial phase of the sinking process, the
sinking-decay coupling exerts a substantial impact on sinking rates but
has limited effect on the fraction of mass reaching the bathypelagic and
abyssal ocean. Our model approach indicates that there are substantial
latitudinal differences in the potential supply of GZ detrital matter to
the deep sea. While at low latitudes only negligible amounts of GZ
biomass are deposited at the ocean floor, high latitudes allow for
substantial GZ detrital mass transport to depths below 1000 m.

Published: October 2023

Gravity waves (GWs) play an important role in the dynamics and
energetics of the mesosphere. Geomagnetic activity is a known source of
GWs in the upper atmosphere. However, how deep the effects of
geomagnetic activity induced GWs penetrate into the mesosphere remains
an open question. We use temperature measurements from the SABER/TIMED
instrument between 2002 - 2018 to study the variations of mesospheric GW
activity following intense geomagnetic disturbances identified by AE and
Dst indices. By considering several case studies, we show for the first
time that the GWs forced by geomagnetic activity can propagate down to
about 80 km in the high latitude mesosphere. Only regions above 55°
latitudes show a clear response. The fraction of cases in which there is
an unambiguous enhancement in GW activity following the onset of
geomagnetic disturbance is smaller during summer than other seasons.
Only about half of the events show an unambiguous increase in GW
activity during non-summer periods and about one quarter of the events
in summer show an enhancement in GWs. In addition, we also find that the
high latitude mesopause is seen to descend in altitude following onset
of geomagnetic activity in the non-summer high latitude region.
Modeling the Contribution of Precipitation Loss to a Radiation Belt Electron Dropout Observed by Van Allen Probes
Authors: Li Zhi Gu , Tu Weichao , Selesnick Richard S.
Published: October 2023

A drift-diffusion model is used to simulate the low-altitude electron
distribution, accounting for azimuthal drift, pitch angle diffusion, and
atmospheric backscattering effects during a rapid electron dropout event
on August 21st, 2013, at L=4.5. Additional external loss effects are
introduced during times when the low-altitude electron distribution
cannot be reproduced by diffusion alone. The model utilizes low-altitude
electron count rate data from five POES/MetOp satellites to quantify
pitch angle diffusion rates. Low-altitude data provides critical
constraint on the model because it includes the drift loss cone region
where the electron distribution in longitude is highly dependent on the
balance between azimuthal drift and pitch angle diffusion. Furthermore,
a newly derived angular response function for the detectors onboard
POES/MetOp is employed to accurately incorporate the bounce loss cone
measurements, which have been previously contaminated by electrons from
outside the nominal field-of-view. While constrained by low-altitude
data, the model also shows reasonable agreement with high-altitude data.
Pitch angle diffusion rates during the event are quantified and are
faster at lower energies. Precipitation is determined to account for all
of the total loss observed for 350 keV electrons, 76% for 600 keV and
45% for 900 keV. Predictions made in the MeV range are deemed
unreliable as the integral energy channels E3 and P6 fail to provide the
necessary constraint at relativistic energies.
β-Cell miRNA-503-5p Induced by Hypomethylation and Inflammation Promotes Insulin Resistance and β-Cell Decompensation

Chronic inflammation promotes pancreatic β-cell decompensation to insulin resistance because of local accumulation of supraphysiologic interleukin 1β (IL-1β) levels. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. We show that miR-503-5p is exclusively upregulated in islets from humans with type 2 diabetes and diabetic rodents because of its promoter hypomethylation and increased local IL-1β levels. β-Cell–specific miR-503 transgenic mice display mild or severe diabetes in a time- and expression-dependent manner. By contrast, deletion of the miR-503 cluster protects mice from high-fat diet–induced insulin resistance and glucose intolerance. Mechanistically, miR-503-5p represses c-Jun N-terminal kinase–interacting protein 2 (JIP2) translation to activate mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling cascades, thus inhibiting glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) and compensatory β-cell proliferation. In addition, β-cell miR-503-5p is packaged in nanovesicles to dampen insulin signaling transduction in liver and adipose tissues by targeting insulin receptors. Notably, specifically blocking the miR-503 cluster in β-cells effectively remits aging-associated diabetes through recovery of GSIS capacity and insulin sensitivity. Our findings demonstrate that β-cell miR-503-5p is required for the development of insulin resistance and β-cell decompensation, providing a potential therapeutic target against diabetes.

Article Highlights

Promoter hypomethylation during natural aging permits miR-503-5p overexpression in islets under inflammation conditions, conserving from rodents to humans. Impaired β-cells release nanovesicular miR-503-5p to accumulate in liver and adipose tissue, leading to their insulin resistance via the miR-503-5p/insulin receptor/phosphorylated AKT axis. Accumulated miR-503-5p in β-cells impairs glucose-stimulated insulin secretion via the JIP2-coordinated mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling cascades. Specific blockage of β-cell miR-503-5p improves β-cell function and glucose tolerance in aging mice.

ABSTRACT

Chronic inflammation promotes pancreatic β-cell decompensation to insulin resistance due to local accumulation of supraphysiologic IL-1β levels. However, the underlying molecular mechanism(s) remains elusive. We show that miR-503-5p is exclusively upregulated in islets from type 2 diabetic humans and rodents due to its promoter hypomethylation and increased local IL-1β levels. Beta-cell-specific miR-503 transgenic (βTG) mice display mild or severe diabetes in a time- and expression-dependent manner. By contrast, deletion of the miR-503 cluster protects mice from high-fat-diet-induced insulin resistance and glucose intolerance. Mechanistically, miR-503-5p represses JNK interacting protein 2 (JIP2) translation to activate mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) signaling cascades, thus inhibiting glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) and compensatory β-cell proliferation. In addition, β-cell miR-503-5p is packaged in nano-vesicles to dampen insulin signaling transduction in liver and adipose tissues by targeting insulin receptors (INSR). Notably, specifically blocking the miR-503 cluster in β cells effectively remits ageing-associated diabetes through recovery of GSIS capacity and insulin sensitivity. Our finding demonstrated that β-cell miR-503-5p is required for the development of insulin resistance and β-cell decompensation, providing a potential therapeutic target against diabetes.
Tid för abduktion: Erfarenhetens bärkraft i forskning och utbildning för framtiden
Authors: Balldin Jutta
Published: October 2023

Syftet med artikeln är att med stöd i Charles S. Peirces kontinuerliga logik argumentera för en pedagogik som avser att verifiera och i större utsträckning göra bruk av erfarenhet i kunskapsbildningsprocesser. Därutöver vill jag med Peirces hjälp slå ett slag för abduktion som en metod vilken särskilt uppmärksammar skillnader mellan kunskaper och kvaliteter och verkar för en mer pluralistisk och samtidigt gemensam kunskapsbildning. En abduktiv tidsattityd motverkar idén om absolut kunskap och påminner om vår tendens att ignorera det vi av erfarenhet vet och eventuellt också tvekar om. Med Peirces logik är tvekan inför kunskap men tillit till det vi vet istället grunden för ny kunskapsbildning och i en generell mening också världens fortgång. För att ytterligare belysa abduktionens pedagogiska förtjänster beskriver jag hur ett kombinerat forsknings- och utbildningsprojekt i högre utbildning växer fram och tar form i enlighet med metodens tidsenligt successiv a slutledningsprocess. Det pågående projektets uppkomst och process följer abduktionens tre överlappande faser från dåtidens erfarenhet, över nuets reaktion, mot framtidens obestämda men möjliga handlingar. 
ENGLISH ABSTRACT
Time för abduction: The carrying capacity of experience in research and education
The article aims to reason with the continuous philosophy of Charles S. Peirce (1839–1914) and argue about a pedagogy for strengthening our ability to diversify and bring forth our experience in knowledge production. The carrying capacity of experience as a basis for reasonable abductions and change is the main argument of the article. Besides this the ambition is to highlight the capacity of abduction as a method to process diverse knowledge practices and make use of pluralistic thus common experiences to produce fair ideas for the future. The temporal attitude of the abductive researcher counteracts the idea of absolute knowledge and reminds us of our tendency to ignore what we actually know, not the least doubt. Thus, the abductive attitude approves of doubt as a wake-up call and starting point for learning, and the acknowledgement of this is by Peirce’s general logic also consistent with a trust in a continuous human and worldly becoming. To further illuminate the educational points of abduction, an ongoing project in higher education is described as a concrete example of abductive, thus experience-based, successive, and common learning. The continuous research/education project unfolds and finds its direction through the triadic abductive process of inference; notifying and acknowledging qualities of past experience, critically comparing qualities to general ideas, and guessing upon new relations or hypothesis about fair future conduct.

Authors: Kurnianingtyas Chandra Dewi
Published: October 2023

This village potential development activity was carried out in Wirokerten Village, Bantul Regency. This service has two work programs, namely developing the potential of tourist villages and making pocket books. This service begins with identifying problems that exist in Wirokerten Village, then collecting data through sources on the internet, namely from regional websites, then planning programs and finally making outputs in the form of ebooks and videos. Before making the final report, all these activities are evaluated first. The result of the tourism village potential work program is the construction of the Bawal House. While the result of making a pocket book is the introduction of psychotropics and the consequences if they do abuse. Wirokerten Village has potential in the fisheries and tourism sectors which can then be developed into a tourist village with innovations in the form of design concepts for fish cultivation and fishing so that it is expected to increase community income, increase knowledge related to cultivation and increase the number of tourists. Counseling related to the introduction of psychotropics is expected to be able to provide insight and increase public knowledge about the types of psychotropics, how to recognize them and the dangers they pose.

Published: October 2023

Chronologically two experiments have been conducted during the period from October 2018 to May 2019 and July 2019 to June 2020 at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Bangladesh for the identification of one of the best rice varieties and chemicals against blast disease. In a field experiment, eight boro rice varieties were evaluated (five inbreed varieties, two high-yielding varieties, and one wild variety) to observe varietal performances against blast disease. A pot experiment was also performed to study the resistance behavior of the tested varieties in an in-vitro condition by applying silica powder, K2SiO3, salicylic acid, cattle urine (both normal and pregnant cows), and PPN. Field study revealed that the wild variety was highly resistant (incidence and severity 0%) whereas BRRI dhan58 was susceptible (incidence 21.48% and severity 60.48%). Wild variety was also characterized by the highest tiller number (20.73), panicle length (24.90 cm), fresh grain weight (62.30 g), and dry grain weight (51.70 g). The highest number of panicles was recorded in BRRI dhan28 (18.40) which was statistically like the wild variety (17.50). Though wild variety performed best in another parameter it gave the lowest amount of yield (4.77 kg/plot). In morphological studies of pathogen, pyriform-shaped conidia were found in a sympodial fashion on conidiophores whose size varied from 22.13 to 28.47 μm × 9.13 to 11.72 μm (average 25.30×10.43 μm). The second experiment revealed that all selected novel chemicals showed some extent of resistance but the cattle urine, PPN, and K2SiO3 showed a promising effect. Koch’s postulate test for the experiment confirmed the causal organism of blast disease is Magnaporthe oryzaein artificially inoculated plants.

Published: October 2023

During the Covid-19 pandemic, many technology companies recorded sales volume increases. It happened because the pandemic pushed everyone to utilise technology devices for daily activities. Therefore, it drives the sales of technology companies to improve. This research uses the EVA (Economic Value Added) indicator as a financial analysis tool to evaluate the financial performance of companies in the technology sector on the Indonesia Stock Exchange before and during the Covid-19 pandemic. This research uses technology companies' financial statements from January 2019 - December 2020 as secondary data. The research analysis is in the form of a descriptive analysis of EVA calculation. The findings revealed that two of the four selected technology companies have a positive EVA value, which indicates that the two companies have been able to provide added value from their operational activities even before the Covid-19 pandemic occurred in Indonesia. Meanwhile, another company generate a negative EVA, which suggests that the company's management has not been able to create added value for the company. The company's ability to maintain financial sustainability represented by EVA value is ultimately not only defined by certain situations, such as a pandemic, but also by its ability to formulate a capital structure strategy.

Published: October 2023

Sodium dimethyl dithiocarbamate (SDDC) is a universal heavy metal precipitant/chelating agent, which is widely used in the treatment of heavy metals in industrial wastewater and fly ash from waste incineration. It can be utilized as a heavy metal precipitant, fungicide, agricultural insecticide, rubber vulcanization accelerator, styrene-butadiene rubber polymerization terminator, polymerization inhibitor, mineral processing reagent, etc. This review article focuses on the research of the production and application of SDDC in heavy metal chelation. The following three benefits of using SDDC as a heavy metal chelating agent are: (1) it can chelate with various heavy metal ions at room temperature to generate insoluble chelate salts and precipitates, which can be easily removed; (2) SDDC can perform chelation reaction with varies heavy metal ions at the same time; (3) as a heavy metal chelating agent, SDDC is simple to use and low costs, which is significantly better than other heavy metal chelating agents and precipitants. This review paper presents novel ideas for the performance enhancement based on SDDC in removing heavy metals and is a prospect for the research, development, production, and applications of SDDC.
Docking Pose Measurement Method for Large Components Based on Draw-Wire Displacement Sensors

A method for measuring the docking pose of large components based on the draw-wire displacement sensor is proposed. In this method, coordinate systems and measurement points are established on the docking surfaces of fixed and moving components. The draw-wire displacement sensor is used to measure the distances between these measurement points. A mathematical model based on the distances between the measurement points is established, and the three-sphere rendezvous positioning principle is optimized to obtain the spatial positions of the measurement points. Consequently, the pose deviations of the fixed and moving components in all six degrees of freedom (6DOF) are determined. A simulation analysis of the measurement uncertainty of the obtained pose deviations is performed, resulting in a composite standard uncertainty obtained from the measurement standard uncertainties of different sensors. The simulation results show that the composite standard uncertainty is most affected in the x-axis translation direction and least affected in the x-axis rotation direction. With this method, only the distances between the measurement points need to be measured to determine the corresponding pose relationships. The cost of the equipment is low, and it is not easily affected by external factors such as the environment.
Interstitial lung disease with genetic susceptibility: case report
Authors: Ana Aleksandra , Trușculescu Adriana Ana
Published: October 2023

Introduction

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) includes more than 200 progressive conditions classified based on common clinical, imaging or pathophysiological factors.

Case presentation

A 37-year-old male, former smoker, with unknown exposure and a family history of incompletely identified ILD, underwent functional and imaging investigations that raise the suspicion of an ILD with a pattern of non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP). High-resolution computer tomography (HRCT) imaging detects the progression of lesions. The severely altered functional status does not allow a lung biopsy to be performed to elucidate the aetiology and establish the optimal therapeutic approach. Bronchoscopy with bronchial aspirate sampling and bronchoalveolar lavage does not suggest a specific ILD aetiology. A diagnosis of diffuse fibrosing and progressive ILD – an unclassifiable phenotype – was established, and after a multidisciplinary discussion, antifibrotic treatment was initiated. A genetic test was performed for a possible familial ILD with a genetic component. The test identified the presence of an autosomal recessive combined immunodeficiency due to NF-κB inducing kinase (NIK) deficiency associated with the MAP3K14 gene leading to the suspicion of a familial ILD.

Discussion

Genetic testing is essential for diagnosis of ILD, especially in young patients with a family history. Antifibrotics are the only available option for such cases; if immunosuppressive therapy should be initiated still remains a question. Is a lung transplant a realistic solution in such cases?

Conclusions

Familial aggregation and genetic changes should be sought for in diffuse ILD diagnosis.
