Pengelolaan Sampah Berbasis Masyarakat Melalui 3R Dalam Upaya Pengurangan Jumlah Timbulan Sampah
Authors: Dwi Sukmawati Paramita
Published: August 2021

Pengelolaan sampah yang saat ini dilakukan masih sebatas kumpul, angkut dan buang tanpa ada upaya pengurangan jumlah timbulan sampah. Dampaknya adalah jumlah timbulan sampah bertambah dan hanya berakhir di Tempat Pemrosesan Akhir sampah (TPA) sehingga mempengaruhi kesehatan lingkungan di sekitar lokasi TPA. Untuk itu perlu dilakukan upaya pengurangan jumlah timbulan sampah, dengan cara pengelolaan sampah berbasis masyarakat melalui 3R (Reduse, reuse dan Recycle). Tujuan kegiatan ini adalah melakukan sosialisasi tentang bagaimana cara pengelolaan sampah berbasis masyarakat melalui 3R agar para guru, karyawan dan siswa SMK Negeri 6 Yogyakarta dapat berperan aktif dalam pengelolaan sampah. Metode pelaksanaan kegiatan menggunakan metode ceramah dan diskusi. Hasil dari kegiatan ini masih berupa hasil jangka pendek, yaitu dengan melihat antusiasme peserta pada waktu tanya jawab dan diskusi. Untuk itu hasil dari kegiatan ini masih membutuhkan kegiatan tindak lanjut berupa pendampingan pengelolaan sampah, supaya SMK Negeri 6 Yogyakarta dapat menerapkan pengelolaan sampah berbasis masyarakat melalui 3R.

Authors: Kelelufna Jusuf Haries
Published: August 2021

Abstract. The results of previous research on the book of Song of Songs showed a significant difference of opinion among the scholars regarding the book's final editorial. This research aimed to trace the final period of the editorial of the Song of Songs based on Hebrew characteristics according to the period of development as stated by experts. The authors use a language research method that includes the phoneme, morphology, and syntax aspects to trace the final stage of the editor of the book of Song of Songs. The results of the analysis showed that the Song of Songs shows characteristics from ancient Hebrew to post-exilic and is heavily influenced by other languages such as Aramaic, Persian, and Greek. The fact showed that the book Song of Songs has a revision of language and contextualitation through a very long period and the final editorial is at least settled in the Persian-Greek period.Abstrak. Hasil penelitian terdahulu terhadap kitab Kidung Agung menunjukkan perbedaan pendapat yang signifikan di antara para ahli mengenai redaksi akhir kitab tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan menelusuri periode akhir redaksi kitab Kidung Agung dengan didasarkan pada ciri-ciri bahasa Ibrani sesuai periode perkembangannya sebagaimana yang telah dikemukakan oleh para ahli. Penulis menggunakan metode penelitian bahasa yang meliputi aspek fonem, morfologi dan sintaksis untuk menelusuri tahap akhir redaksi kitab Kidung Agung. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa kitab Kidung Agung menunjukkan ciri dari bahasa Ibrani kuno hingga pasca-pembuangan serta banyak dipengaruhi oleh bahasa lainnya seperti Aram, Persia dan Yunani. Fakta tersebut menunjukkan bahwa kitab Kidung Agung mengalami revisi bahasa dan kontekstualisasi lewat periode yang sangat panjang dan redaksi akhir setidaknya diselesaikan pada periode Persia-Yunani.

A INCLUSÃO ESCOLAR EM DUAS ESCOLAS PÚBLICAS DE JABOATÃO DOS GUARARAPES – PE – BR
Authors: OLIVEIRA DA ROCHA VALDENICE
Published: August 2021

A Inclusão Escolar significa oferecer oportunidade de estudo para todas as pessoas, sem distinção de cor, raça, classe social, ou ainda, condições físicas e psicológicas. Apesar de ser bastante amplo, o termo Inclusão Escolar é mais utilizado para se referir à inclusão das pessoas com deficiência, seja física ou mental, nos espaços escolares. Isso porque mesmo que se tenha uma legislação vigente, a qual garante o direito ao estudo a todas as pessoas, algumas instituições ainda recusam a matrícula de crianças e jovens com deficiência. No entanto, recusar vaga ou se recusar a ensinar uma criança com necessidades educacionais especiais (NEE) é crime e cabível de processos judiciais. Toda e qualquer instituição escolar deve, portanto, oferecer atendimento especializado para as crianças portadoras de NEE, com profissionais qualificados para realizar a Educação Especial. Inclusão Escolar é inserir os alunos com deficiência dentro do ambiente escolar, e não criar uma “escola” apenas para essas crianças com necessidades especiais, pois isso também é crime. O que deve ser feito é permitir que crianças e jovens tenham acesso ao convívio dentro das escolas, juntamente com outras crianças. Diante disso decidimos conversar com professores de duas escolas de Jaboatão dos Guararapes –PE a fim de investigarmos se a inclusão escolar acontece na realidade destas unidades de ensino.

Differential expression of RAD51 recombinase in human epithelial ovarian cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: August 2021

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal gynecologic cancer (1). We performed discovery of genes associated with epithelial ovarian cancer and of the high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) subtype, using published microarray data (2, 3) to compare global gene expression profiles of normal ovary or fallopian tube with that of primary tumors from women diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer or HGSC. We identified the gene encoding RAD51 recombinase, RAD51, as among the genes whose expression was most different in epithelial ovarian cancer as compared to the normal fallopian tube. RAD51 expression was significantly higher in high-grade serous ovarian tumors relative to normal fallopian tube. These data indicate that expression of RAD51 is perturbed in epithelial ovarian cancers broadly and in ovarian cancers of the HGSC subtype. RAD51 may be relevant to pathways underlying ovarian cancer initiation (transformation) or progression.
Dynamic changes in anxiety level before and after reading and watching different types of online articles and videos respectively: A Pilot Study
Authors: Zhou Sizhe , Liu Keying
Published: August 2021

In recent years, researchers studying anxiety in high school students have determined that therapeutic videos and articles are effective as auxiliary intervention methods, but the specific types of videos or articles that are most effective still remain unclear. Current research has focused on the dynamic effect of various types of videos or articles on adolescents' anxiety levels, with the aim of finding suitable types of videos or articles to be used as materials during interventions. The study is divided into two phases. In the first phase of the study, a questionnaire was distributed to a total of 2120 participants from China regarding their anxiety level and their preferred materials during online surfing, The results indicate that five types of materials were related to adolescents’ anxiety levels. In the second phase of the study, Ecological Momentary Assessment was used to continuously measure 30 participants’ anxiety levels over the course of ten days. The results show that while scenic video, online fiction, classic literature, and literature criticism affected an individual’s emotions positively. There was no significant effect when entertainment videos were used. In addition, only scenic videos were able to alleviate anxiety in the long-term.
Fighting a fire versus waiting for a wave: Useful and not-so-useful analogies in times of SARS-CoV-2
Authors: Archer Louise , Standley Claire , Molnár Péter
Published: August 2021

As SARS-CoV-2 has swept the planet, intermittent “lockdowns” have become a regular feature to control transmission. References to so-called recurring “waves” of infections remain pervasive among news headlines, political messaging, and public health sources. Here, we consider the power of analogies as a tool for facilitating effective understanding of biological processes by reviewing the successes and limitations of various analogies in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. We also consider how, when analogies fall short, their ability to persuade can mislead public opinion and behaviour, even if unintentionally. While waves can be effective in conveying patterns of disease outbreak retrospectively, we suggest that process-based analogies might be more effective communication tools, given that they are easily mapped to underlying epidemiological concepts and can be extended to include more complex (e.g., spatial) dynamics. Though no single analogy perfectly captures disease dynamics, fire is particularly suitable for visualizing the epidemiological models that are used to understand disease trajectories, underscoring the importance of and reasoning behind control strategies, and, above all, conveying a sense of urgency to galvanise collective action. Note: This is the submitted version (prior to peer review) of an article that has now been published in BioScience following peer review.

Extreme wind events affect lake phytoplankton amongst others by deepening the mixed layer and increasing internal nutrient loading. Both increases and decreases of phytoplankton biomass after storms have been observed, but the precise mechanisms driving these responses remain poorly understood or quantified. In this study, we coupled a one-dimensional physical model to a biogeochemical model to investigate the factors regulating short-term phytoplankton responses to summer storms, now and under expected warmer future conditions. We simulated physical, chemical and biological dynamics in Lake Erken, Sweden, and found that wind storms could increase or decrease the phytoplankton concentration one week after the storm, depending on antecedent lake physical and chemical conditions. Storms had little effect on phytoplankton biomass if the mixed layer was deep prior to storm exposure. Higher incoming shortwave radiation and hypolimnetic nutrient concentration boosted growth, whereas higher surface water temperatures decreased phytoplankton concentration after storms. Medium-intensity wind speeds resulted in more phytoplankton biomass after storms than high-intensity wind. Simulations under a future climate scenario did not show marked differences in the way wind affects phytoplankton growth following storms. Our study shows that storm impacts on lake phytoplankton are complex and likely to vary as a function of local environmental conditions.
Making Drone Data FAIR Through a Community-Developed Information Framework

Published: August 2021

Small Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (sUAS) are an increasingly common tool for data collection in many scientific fields. However, there are few standards or best practices guiding the collection, sharing, or publication of data collected with these tools. This makes collaboration, data quality control, and reproducibility challenging. To that end, we have used iterative rounds of data modeling and user engagement to develop a Minimum Information Framework (MIF) to guide sUAS users in collecting the metadata necessary to ensure that their data is trust-worthy, shareable and reusable. This paper briefly outlines our methods and the MIF itself, which includes 74 metadata terms in four classes that sUAS users should consider collecting for any given study. The MIF provides a foundation which can be used for developing standards and best practices.
On the semantic representation of risk
Authors: Wulff Dirk U. , Mata Rui
Published: August 2021

There is great theoretical and applied interest in understanding the psychology of risk - but what are defining features of lay people's semantic representation of this concept? We contribute a new approach to mapping the semantics of risk based on word associations that promises to provide insight into individual and group differences. Specifically, we introduce a novel mini-snowball word-association paradigm and use the tools of network and sentiment analysis to characterize the semantics of "risk" from 1,205 respondents (age range = 18-86; 50\% female). We find that association-based representations extend those extracted from past survey- and text-based approaches to the semantics of risk. Crucially, we show that the semantics of risk vary systematically across demographic groups, with older and female respondents showing more negative connotations and mentioning more often certain types of activities (e.g., recreational activities) relative to younger adults and males, respectively. Our work has implications for the measurement of risk-related constructs by suggesting that "risk" means different things to different individuals.
Early within-person weight gain and variability during inpatient treatment for anorexia nervosa: Age-dependent effects on treatment outcome
Authors: Kolar David R. , Meule Adrian , Naab Silke , Voderholzer Ulrich
Published: August 2021

Objective: Early weight gain during inpatient treatment for anorexia nervosa (AN) is a dynamic process characterized by within-person variability that may be age-dependent. We examined whether age moderates the effect of within-person weight gain and variability on treatment outcome.Method: Within-person level estimates of N = 2881 underweight adolescents and adults with AN for daily average weight gain (linear slope) and variability (root mean squared errors) were obtained using random-effects modelling. Between-person level regression analyses were calculated to assess effects on weight, eating disorder psychopathology and attaining normal body weight (BMI: 18.5 – 25kg/m²). Results: Higher weight gain during first two weeks of inpatient treatment predicted higher weight, lower drive for thinness and lower body dissatisfaction at discharge, but not lower bulimic symptoms. Moreover, it predicted a higher probability of discharge weight within normal range. Younger age was associated with stronger effects of early weight gain on weight, drive for thinness and body dissatisfaction at discharge. Weight variability was not associated with any outcome. Conclusions: Age moderated effects of early weight gain on treatment outcomes, with larger effects for younger patients. Weight variability alone did not influence treatment across age and should be of lesser clinical concern during early inpatient treatment.
Evolution of emotion semantics
Authors: Xu Aotao , Stellar Jennifer Ellen , Xu Yang
Published: August 2021

Humans possess the unique ability to communicate emotions through language. Although concepts like anger or awe are abstract, there is a shared consensus about what these English emotion words mean. This consensus may give the impression that their meaning is static, but we propose this is not the case. We cannot travel back to earlier periods to study emotion concepts directly, but we can examine text corpora, which have partially preserved the meaning of emotion words. Using natural language processing of historical text, we found evidence for semantic change in emotion words over the past century and that varying rates of change were predicted in part by an emotion concept's prototypicality - how representative it is of the broader category of "emotion". Prototypicality negatively correlated with historical rates of emotion semantic change obtained from text-based word embeddings, beyond more established variables including usage frequency in English and a second comparison language, French. This effect for prototypicality did not consistently extend to the semantic category of birds, suggesting its relevance for predicting semantic change may be category-dependent. Our results suggest emotion semantics are evolving over time, with prototypical emotion words remaining semantically stable, while other emotion words evolve more freely.
Racial bias and ASWB exams: A failure of data equity
Authors: DeCarlo Matthew Peter
Published: August 2021

This commentary contributes to the ongoing conversation about racial bias in social work licensing exams. It reviews recent public statements by the organization that describe the process for assessing racial bias in examinations developed and implemented by the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB). It demonstrates that current safeguards against racial bias are inadequate and that public statements by ASWB about its bias safeguards are misleading and lack evidentiary support. The commentary concludes that the social work community must take action rather than demand the ASWB reform itself.
Street smarts and org charts: Professional expertise and the organizational production of urban integration
Authors: Brandtner Christof , Laryea Krystal
Published: August 2021

Sociologists have shown that the presence of organizations causally affects such community outcomes as connectedness, crime, entrepreneurship, and crisis resilience through urban integration. But extant studies of cities and neighborhoods conceal how organizational characteristics shape the production of two types of urban integration: social integration, creating social ties among constituents, as well as systemic integration, connecting constituents to institutional resources. We argue that organizations’ pursuit of social and systemic integration is principally due to the degrees to which organization members draw on suite-level expertise (“I know the system”) and street-level expertise (“I know the people”) when they make decisions. Representative survey data of San Francisco Bay Area nonprofits collected over 15 years shows that nonprofits’ integrative practices depend on these forms of expertise. Qualitative interviews and observations reveal voice amplification, problem identification, and future-making as processes that link expertise to social and systemic integration. Our findings illuminate the consequences of professionalism by showing how professional expertise is linked to integrative practices. Bridging organizational and urban sociology, we challenge the stylized fact that nonprofits necessarily foster community and suggest alternative ways to understand and operationalize how organizations are embedded in their urban environment.
Wspólnie czy indywidualnie? Na własność czy wynajem? Wszystkim czy wybranym? Dylematy współczesnej polskiej polityki mieszkaniowej
Authors: Lis Piotr
Published: August 2021

The article contains an overview of the housing situation in Poland in three dimensions: the availability of housing, the capacity to buy or rent a dwelling and the quality of housing standards in the context of the national and local housing policies. It begins with an assessment of the scale and dynamics of residential investment in Poland over the last 30 years. In the next part, the author estimates the economic return on housing investments, stressing that expectations as to the growth of housing prices in Poland are the key determinant of investment decisions. As the analysis shows, the promotion of housing ownership has had negative social effects and, with temporarily cheap and available money, has fuelled the growth of housing prices.

Rozliczenie kredytu mieszkaniowego z niedozwolonymi walutowymi klauzulami indeksacyjnymi
Authors: Liberadzki Marcin
Published: August 2021

This paper deals with how to settle a foreign currency exchange rate indexed mortgage loan between a bank and a consumer if the court declares that the loan agreement has an abusive clause. At present, many consumers in Poland strive to void their contracts on the grounds that they contain an abusive indexation clause, mainly referred to the CHF/PLN exchange rate. The calculations are based on a CHF indexed 30 years mortgage with decreasing monthly installments, starting in 2008. The settlement amount is calculated for two most probable scenarios: 1) the contract is declared void; 2) the contract continues but without the abusive indexation clause. One cannot determine which scenario is definitely better than the other for any party. In the final section of the article the implications for Polish banks are presented.

Published: August 2021

The internal conflict in Syria took place since March 23, 2011. The anti-government period held a large demonstration in Daraa, Syria. This demonstration started the internal conflict between the Syrian Government and the opposition. The opposition group is a community movement demanding the resignation of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The role of the UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) is needed to provide protection, and effective long-term solutions for Syrian refugees in Greece. Greece is the only gateway for Syrian refugees to enter European territory, after the Balkan countries and several other European countries shut down to accept refugees. Based on this background, this research found one problem formulation, namely how the role of UNHCR in dealing with Syrian refugees in Greece. In general, UNHCR has played a role in dealing with Syrian refugees in Greece, UNHCR carried out its role as; Instrument, by enforcing the 1951 UN Convention on refugees to member states; Arena, organizes various meetings and conferences to solve refugee problems; and Independent Actors namely meeting basic needs, clothing, food and shelter as well as refugee supervision. The role of UNHCR which can be seen to be very significant in overcoming the problem of Syrian refugees in Greece is as an independent actor which from the year of UNHCR's involvement directly in the field, provided an increase in the quality of life for Syrian refugees. While the UNHCR's obstacle was in upholding UNHCR member countries' compliance with the 1951 UN Convention.

Evaluating Foreign Skills: Effects of Credential Assessment on Skilled Immigrants’ Labour Market Performance in Canada
Authors: Banerjee Rupa , Hou Feng , Reitz Jeffrey G. , Zhang Tingting
Published: August 2021

Formal educational qualification is increasingly built into immigrant selection systems in many countries, but in a global context, the transferability and portability of such qualifications has been questioned. In 2013, Canada introduced the requirement for a formal assessment of educational credential equivalence for applicants in the skilled worker category. In this study, we use a Canadian national immigration database and difference-in-differences methodology to investigate whether requiring formal Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) as part of the selection process for skilled immigrants has improved labour market outcomes. Our results indicate that the ECA requirement is positively related to early employment rates and earnings for both men and women. However, this effect is limited to those with no previous employment experience in Canada. We also find that, even with the ECA requirement, significant differences in the earnings of immigrants from different source regions remain. Implications and recommendations are discussed.
Outreach Medicine as an Experiential Teaching Tool to Improve Veterinary Student and Client Education
Authors: Kim Jeffrey , Rinke Elliott J. , Matusicky Michelle E. , Millward Laurie M.
Published: August 2021

Outreach medicine is used to improve students’ medical, technical, behavioral, and communication training among health professional schools; it is also used in veterinary schools, but little has been described on its educational impacts among pre-clinical veterinary students. Aiming to train practice-ready graduates, we established a monthly nonprofit vaccine clinic serving low-income clients to provide pre-clinical veterinary students with a realistic experiential learning environment. We developed surveys to assess the educational impacts of outreach medicine on pre-clinical veterinary student and client education. We received 101 student surveys, 26 educator (i.e., veterinarians and registered veterinary technicians) surveys, and 96 client surveys. Veterinarians, students, and technicians reported that students improved in important veterinary skills such as client communication, subcutaneous injection, patient handling, and physical examination. They also reported improved confidence in students’ clinical decision making. Veterinarians valued the vaccine clinic as a favorable educational tool to teach behavior assessment and low-stress handling, and they highlighted that experiential learning via the vaccine clinic provided students with a clinical experience representative of most veterinarian practices (i.e., small animal general practitioner). Clients reported that the clinic’s students and veterinarians greatly improved their knowledge of their pets’ care and vaccines—notably, their knowledge of rabies and leptospirosis improved. Outreach medicine in the form of a vaccine clinic creates valuable experiential learning opportunities that increase veterinary student preparedness and complement didactic, laboratory, and case-based teaching.
The Efficacy of Online Case-Based Assignments in Teaching Veterinary Ophthalmology

Published: August 2021

Veterinarians are required to use clinical reasoning skills to successfully manage their patients with eye diseases. Case-based assignments can be an effective tool for teaching problem-solving skills. Very few models or online modules exist to deepen the instruction of veterinary ophthalmic clinical reasoning skills. The current study aims to assess the value of online case-based assignments given to students during the Ontario Veterinary College’s Phase 4 ophthalmology rotation over a 4-year period. Nine case-based assignments were developed as an online module and provided signalment, history, ophthalmic database, and clinical photography. For each case, students were required to describe the ocular lesions, provide a diagnosis, and develop a short-term and long-term treatment plan. A grading rubric was created, and student feedback was collected using an online survey. A frequency analysis was conducted to evaluate final grades across each case. This analysis was also completed for grades of each question across all cases. A total of 285 students were graded individually. Students’ grades were normally distributed across each assignment. Students performed better on lower-order cognitive skills (description of ocular lesions) but poorer on high-order cognitive skills (therapeutic plans). These results suggest that students tend to have difficulty with the analysis and interpretation of these cases. Student feedback reported case-based assignments were useful. Online case-based assignments may be a useful adjunctive teaching tool for students rotating through ophthalmology in their clinical year, and this tool could be considered for other specialized rotations.
Co-Existence of a Rudimentary Non-Communicating Horn with a Unicornuate Uterus in Association with 2 Components of the VACTERL Association: A Case Report
Authors: Roman Jose D , Roman Jose D
Published: August 2021

The prevalence of congenital uterine anomalies has been reported as 6.7% in the general population. The unicornuate uterus accounts for 2.4-13% of all Mullerian anomalies and has a prevalence of 1:1000. A unicornuate uterus may be present alone or with a rudimentary horn and 75-90% of rudimentary horns are non-communicating. A pregnancy in the rudimentary horn may lead to uterine rupture, haemoperitoneum with a high risk of maternal mortality. The association of a unicornuate uterus with a non-communicating uterine horn to the VACTERL association of defects (vertebral anomalies, anorectal malformations, cardiovascular anomalies, tracheoesophageal fistula, esophageal atresia, renal anomalies and limb defects) has been described only twice in the literature. We report a patient who was born with an extra thumb and had a trachea-bronchial remnant with oesophageal stenosis that were both operated on earlier, and they were associated with a non-communicating rudimentary uterine horn. To the best of our knowledge, this is the third case reported in the literature of a VACTERL association to a unicornuate uterus with a non-communicating functional rudimentary horn. Given the high risk for the patient if pregnant an early diagnosis is paramount. This case highlights the importance of considering Mullerian defects in the young patient born with components of the VACTERL association.
Paleogene extension in the Northern Aegean: Colluvial/debris flow deposits of the Early-Middle Eocene in NW Thrace Basin, Turkey
Authors: Akgündüz Serdar , Koral Hayrettin
Published: August 2021

The Thrace Basin consists of Paleogene–Neogene deposits that lie in the lowland south of the Strandja highlands in NW Turkey, where metagranitic and metasedimentary rocks occur. The Akalan Formation consisting of colluvial fan/debris flow deposits represents the base of the sequence in the northern Thrace basin where it is bounded by a right lateral strike-slip oblique fault called “The Western Strandja Fault Zone”. This formation exhibits a coarse-grained, angular and grain-supported character close to the fault zone which has releasing-bends. Fine-grained, rounded, and matrix-supported sediments occur away from the contact. During this study, the Akalan Formation is described for the first time as having larger benthic foraminifera (LBF) of Coskinolina sp of Ypresian–Lutetian, Nummulites obesus of early Lutetian, Dictyoconus egyptiensis of Lutetian, Orbitolites sp. of Ypresian–Bartonian, Miliola sp of early–middle Eocene, Idalina grelaudae of early Lutetian–Priabonian, Ammobaculites agglutinans, Amphimorphina crassa, Dentalina sp., Nodosaria sp., Operculina sp., Lenticulina sp., Quinqueloculina sp. and Amphistegina sp. of Eocene. This unit passes upward with a conformity into reefal limestones of the middle/late Eocene–early Oligocene Soğucak Formation. At times, the limestone overlies the conformity, there is an indication of a prograding sedimentary sequence. The new stratigraphic, paleontological, sedimentological and structural findings related to the NW Thrace Basin suggest a strong transtensional/extensional tectonic control for the initial Paleogene sedimentary deposition during the Ypresian–Lutetian period as shown by fossil content of the Akalan Formation. Right lateral-slip extensional tectonics appears to have had activity during the middle–late Eocene transgressive deposition of the Soğucak Formation when the basin became deepened and enlarged.

OBJECTIVE

Cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare cerebral vascular lesions that are associated with high morbidity and mortality from hemorrhage; however, stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a well-validated treatment modality. Few reports have delineated a subgroup of patients who develop delayed chronic encapsulated expanding hematomas (CEEHs) despite angiographic evidence of AVM obliteration following radiosurgery. In this report, the authors performed a retrospective review of more than 1000 radiosurgically treated intracranial AVM cases to delineate the incidence and management of this rare entity.

METHODS

Between 1988 and 2019, 1010 patients with intracranial AVM underwent Gamma Knife SRS at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. In addition to a review of a prospective institutional database, the authors performed a retrospective chart review of the departmental AVM database to specifically identify patients with CEEH. Pertinent clinical and radiological characteristics as well as patient outcomes were recorded and analyzed.

RESULTS

Nine hundred fifty patients with intracranial AVM (94%) had sufficient clinical follow-up for analysis. Of these, 6 patients with CEEH underwent delayed resection (incidence rate of 0.0045 event per person-year). These patients included 4 males and 2 females with a mean age of 45.3 ± 13.8 years at the time of initial SRS. Four patients had smaller AVM volumes (4.9–10 cm3), and 3 of them were treated with a single SRS procedure. Two patients had larger-volume AVMs (55 and 56 cm3), and both underwent multimodal management that included staged SRS and embolization. Time to initial recognition of the CEEH after initial SRS ranged between 66 and 243 months. The time between CEEH recognition and resection ranged from 2 to 9 months. Resection was required because of progressive neurological symptoms that correlated with imaging evidence of gradual hematoma expansion. All 6 patients had angiographically confirmed obliteration of their AVM. Pathology revealed a mixed chronicity hematoma with areas of fibrosed blood vessels and rare areas of neovascularization with immature blood vessels but no evidence of a persistent AVM. All 6 patients reported persistent clinical improvement after hematoma resection.

CONCLUSIONS

CEEH after SRS for AVM is a rare complication with an incidence rate of 0.0045 event per person-year over the authors’ 30-year experience. When clinical symptoms progress and imaging reveals progressive enlargement over time, complete resection of a CEEH results in significant clinical recovery. Knowledge of this rare entity facilitates timely detection and eventual surgical intervention to achieve optimal outcomes.
On modeling actual socio-economic factors and development trends in the Republic of Uzbekistan
Authors: Pavlov K.
Published: August 2021

As a result of the increased level of uncertainty and variability of the socio-economic environment, the influence of various social pathologies (for example, the COVID-19 pandemic, etc.) has grown, that have significant negative consequences for the functioning of society. Modeling the most important factors and trends in social development will help to resist the impact of modern negative changes.
From the analysis of the socio-economic development of the Republic of Uzbekistan, it is obvious that there exists the effect of all those factors and trends in social development that are positive and are primarily associated with STP (including the digitalization of society), as well as the effect of negative factors associated with various social pathologies. The strategy of development of the Uzbek economy is aimed at strengthening the former and limiting the latter.

Masih banyak peluang-peluang penghematan yang bisa dicari untuk mendapatkan penghematan pada sistem refrigerasi. Salah satu sub sistem yang ada pada sistem refrigerasi adalah sistem cooling tower. Dengan menemukan cara penghematan pada cooling tower, maka konsumsi energi oleh system refrigerasipun akan berkurang, Penelitian ini mengaplikasikan inverter pada motor fan pada simulasi cooling tower. Simulasi cooling tower dibuat dengan menggunakan heater 2 x 2 kW sebagai pengganti sumber panas yang akan dibuang pada cooling tower. Dengan menggunakan inverter,perubahan debit air yang masuk ke cooling tower dibuat pada 3,2; 3,8; 4,8; 5,6 dan 6,8 m3/h.. Hasil eksperimen menunjukkan bahwa, makin besar debit aliran air ke cooling tower, maka performance cooling tower akan meningkat juga. Tapi dengan meningkatnya debit air yang mengalir meningkat pula daya cooling tower yang terjadi.

Air adalah media yang penting untuk mendapat uap pada ketel uap. Apabila air tidak bersih atau masih mengandung kotoran akan memepengaruhi produktifitas ketel. Tujuan utama yang hendak dicapai dengan pengelolahan air secara umum adalah mencegah korosi yang akan menimbul karatan pada tabung dan pipa pada ketel yang diakibatkan oleh kotoran yang terbawa air pengisi ketel. Sebagai tambahan, suatu perawatan yang sukses harus memenuhi hal-hal sebagai berikut : kebanyakan dari kotoran yang terbawa dalam air ketel harus dihilangkan atau diminimalisir, umum yang dapat mengakibatkan karat pada Ketel Uap harus dijaga pada batas minimum, air ketel harus dapat mendidih dengan lembut tanpa buih, konsentrasi terhadap zat padat terlarut dalam ketel harus tidak tinggi dan apabila terdapat kelebihan yang menimbulkan endapan harus diblowdown, air pengisi harus dapat memberikan perlindungan terhadap peralatan ketel dan memberikan kualitas terhadap uap yang dihasilkan. Efek yang lebih serius adalah overheating dan penyebab kerusakaan pada pipa-pipa ketel uap. Setelah melakukan pengambilan data di lapangan selama satu bulan didapat nilai rata-rata untuk klorin adalah 3,0 ppm dan pH 7,8 ppm. Jadi hotel Conrad Bali sudah melakukan perawatan pencegahan batu ketel dengan baik yaitu menjaga kandungan klorin kisaran 2,5~4,0 ppm dan pH 7,0~9,0 ppm.
