Background:

Brain cooling therapy is one of the subjects of interest, and currently, data on direct brain cooling are lacking. Hence, the objective is to investigate the clinical outcomes and discuss the thermodynamics aspect of direct brain cooling on severely injured brain patients.

Methods:

This pilot study recruited the severely injured brain patients who were then randomized to either a direct brain cooling therapy group using a constant cooling temperature system or a control group. All studied patients must be subjected to an emergency neurosurgical procedure of decompressive craniectomy and were monitored with intracranial pressure, brain oxygenation, and temperature. Further, comparison was made with our historical group of patients who had direct brain cooling therapy through the old technique.

Results:

The results disclosed the direct brain cooling treated patients through a newer technique obtained a better Extended Glasgow Outcome Score than a control group (P < 001). In addition, there is a significant outcome difference between the combined cooling treated patients (new and old technique) with the control group (P < 0.001). Focal brain oxygenation and temperature are likely factors that correlate with better outcomes.

Conclusion:

Direct brain cooling is feasible, safe, and affects the clinical outcomes of the severely traumatized brain, and physics of thermodynamics may play a role in its pathophysiology.
Intraoperative complications of vertebral body stenting system

Published: April 2023

Background:

Vertebral body stenting systems (VBSs) are superior to balloon kyphoplasty for performing vertebral augmentation and height restoration. However, VBS may likely result in more material-related complications that have been under-reported. Here, an 84-year-old female’s vertebral stents “toppled over” before the filling cement was fully applied, thus necessitating an additional posterior fusion.

Case Description:

An 84-year-old female presented with low back pain after a fall. Dynamic standing and decubitus X-rays revealed a vertebral compression fracture at T12 resulting in an intravertebral vacuum cleft (i.e., the lowermost level of diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis). When the VBS was performed, the stents “toppled over” just after removing the balloon catheters; we successfully restored with the cement volume in one stent but not the other, thus warranting an additional posterior fusion to maintain stability.

Conclusion:

The proper injection of cement into a VBS requires dual correct stent positioning, and careful control of requisite stent expansion. In an 84-year-old female with a T12 vertebral body fracture and a remarkable vacuum cleft, the VBS procedure resulted in an inadvertent injection into one stent thus warranting a secondary posterior fusion.

Published: April 2023

Background:

Post traumatic seizures (PTS) are a known sequel of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Incidence of PTS is dependent on many factors including study design and characteristics of the study population. As incidence of TBI increases and death due to TBI decreases, more individuals will be at risk of developing and living with chronic complications. The objective of the present study was to determine the frequency and risk factors for PTS following TBI.

Methods:

A prospective study was conducted on patients admitted with TBI from April 1, 2019, to May 31, 2020, to determine the frequency, time to event, and risk factors for PTS following TBI. We classified the severity of head injury using a standard criterion, into mild, moderate and severe injury. Follow-up of 3 months was undertaken for all patients. Variables include age, sex, trauma severity, Glasgow coma scale, onset of PTS, and neuroradiological finding.

Results:

We enrolled 450 post traumatic subjects, out of which 36 (8%) developed seizures. Of the total of 36 patients detected to have hemorrhagic contusion on computerized tomography scan, 12 patients developed seizures. We found that the independent risk factors associated with occurrence of PTS were frontal— temporal lobar contusion and severity of head injury. All these findings were statistically significant.

Conclusion:

We found that the independent risk factors associated with occurrence of PTS were frontal-temporal lobar contusion and severity of head injury. Type of management (Operative vs. Non operative) does not affect the outcome of PTS.

A grand challenge in electrochemistry is to understand and promote electrochemical processes by exploring and exploiting the interface. Herein, we promoted the hydrogen evolution and oxidation reactions (HER/HOR) of platinum (Pt) in base by introducing N-methylimidazoles into the Pt-water interface. In situ spectroscopic characterization of the interface together with Quantum Mechanics computations showed that this promotion is caused by the N-methylimidazoles facilitating diffusion of hydroxides across the interface by holding the second layer water close to Pt surfaces. We accordingly propose that the HER/HOR kinetics of Pt in acid and base is governed by diffusion of protons and hydroxides, respectively, through the hydrogen-bond network of interfacial water by the Grotthuss mechanism, which accounts for the pH-dependent HER/HOR kinetics of platinum, a long-standing puzzle. Moreover, we demonstrated a 40% performance improvement of an anion exchange membrane electrolyzer by adding 1,2-dimethylimidazole into the alkaline solution fed into its platinum cathode.

Published: April 2023

This work reports the polar lipid profiles of two freshwater algae: the diatom Nitzschia palea, widespread alga that typically inhabits freshwater ponds and rivers, and the Scenedesmus costatus, a common green alga. HILIC-ESI-MS/MS analysis was used to determine and quantify the major phospholipids and glycolipids, and their relative molecular species, extracted from the two microalgal cultures. Glycolipids were eluted first, followed by phospholipids partially co-eluting with the sulfoglycolipids. We also studied the fragmentation pattern in the negative ionization mode for galactolipids. The most intense daughter ion corresponded to the fatty acyl chain located at the sn-2 position, which allowed us to determine the stereospecific distribution of the following fatty acids on the glycerol backbone. For green algae, 18:3 fatty acid was frequently occurring in both phospholipids and galactolipids. We also found 16:4 in some molecular species of mono- and digalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG and DGDG). The most abundant and characteristic molecular species of MGDG in green algae exhibited the combination (18:3/16:4), whereas DGDG was more saturated than MGDG and contained mainly 18:1, 18:2, or 18:3 at sn-1 and shorter fragments 16:0, 16:1, 16:2, and 16:3 at sn-2. It is also remarkable that in the diatom, the phospholipids contained mainly molecular species with saturated or monounsaturated fatty acids such as 16:0, 16:1 and 18:1. In contrast, MGDG and DGDG contained a higher proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as the unique and abundant MGDG (20:5/20:2).
Fe-Promoted C-F Activation of Aryl Fluorides Enables Heck-Type Coupling with Alkenes and One-Pot Synthesis of Indenes
Authors: Radzhabov Maxim , Mankad Neal
Published: April 2023

Metal-mediated aryl fluoride activation presents challenges because of the thermodynamically robust C-F bond but also provides opportunities to develop C-C coupling reactions with this unconventional electrophile. Here, we report that the metallanucleophile, K[CpFe(CO)2] (KFp), is readily arylated by aryl fluorides to provide CpFe(CO)2Ar (FpAr) complexes at ambient conditions in the absence of any catalyst, contrary to previous literature reports. This C-F activation likely proceeds by a SNAr mechanism rather than the more common oxidative addition pathway for metal-mediated C-F cleavage. Facile access to FpAr derivatives has enabled further development of Fe-promoted coupling reactions of aryl fluorides with alkenes and alkynes. Under stoichiometric Fe conditions, the first documented examples of Heck-type coupling reactions with aryl fluoride electrophiles are reported herein. Various aryl fluorides were found to couple with olefins to provide E-alkene products; aliphatic derivatives unexpectedly underwent reduction to 1,2-disubsituted ethane products to varying extents. Aryl fluorides were also found to couple with 5-decyne to yield indene derivatives in a one-pot manner; indeneone and indanone products were also observed in selected cases. A mechanistic investigation to identify the apparently potent hydride donor generated under these conditions was conducted, leading to a mechanistic hypothesis involving the intermediacy of metal carbonyl-capped, triple-decker ferrocene compounds as reductants. Despite the involvement of these diiron intermediates limiting stoichiometric product yields, the observed C-C coupling reactions expand the limits of organofluorine chemistry.
A route to potent, selective and biased salvinorin chemical space
Authors: Hill Sarah , Dao Nathan , Dang Vuong , Stahl Edward , Bohn Laura , Shenvi Ryan
Published: April 2023

The salvinorins serve as templates for next generation analgesics, antipruritics and dissociative hallucinogens via selective and potent agonism of the kappa-opioid receptor (KOR). In contrast to most opioids, the salvinorins lack basic amines and bind with high affinity and selectivity via complex polyoxygenated scaffolds that have frustrated deep-seated modification by synthesis. Here we describe a short asymmetric synthesis that relies on a sterically-confined organocatalyst to dissociate acidity from reactivity and effect Robinson annulation of an unactivated nucleophile / unstable electrophile pair. Combined with a cobalt-catalyzed polarized diene-alkyne cycloaddition, the route allows divergent access to a focused library of salvinorins. We appraise the synthesis by its generation of multiple analogs that exceed the potency, selectivity, stability and functional bias of salvinorin A itself.

Published: April 2023

We report the synthesis of a variety of stable neutral homoaromatic molecules. The homoaromatic character is supported by bond length analysis (from crystal structure analysis data) and spectroscopic characteristics in NMR experiments. The influence of substitution on these homoannulenes is investigated and their reactivity with electrophiles is shown. First approaches to further functionalization via cross-coupling are demonstrated. The present work lays out a general approach to stable neutral homoaromatic hydrocarbon molecules.

Published: April 2023

With the launch of the career development center (CDC) website in the digital era, XYZ university in Indonesia takes the initiative to serve as a liaison between students and companies in need of new talent. The website is intended to distribute job market and career development information to students and graduates. However, no evaluation directly involving students and graduates was conducted during the development process. As a result, this study aims to assess the level of user experience to comprehend users' perceptions of the current CDC website. The User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ) is used in this study to assess students' and alumni's perceptions as one entity. In addition, semi-structured interviews are conducted to better understand users' pain points. From the measurement with UEQ, the website's attractiveness got a positive impression from users with 0,99 points. The pragmatic quality aspect also makes a positive impression. This aspect consists of three variables: perspicuity (1,21 points), efficiency (0,83 points), and dependability (1,12 points). In contrast, the stimulation (0,74 points) and novelty (-0,37 points) variables on the hedonic quality aspect leave the user with a neutral impression. Based on interviews, users believe that the job vacancy information available on the CDC website still needs to be improved in quantity and variety. Users also need help finding the novelty aspect in terms of website appearance. This study successfully incorporated UEQ into the evaluation stage of a university's career development center website, which had never been done in previous research.

Published: April 2023

Yoghurt is one of the most popular fermented dairy products with wide acceptance worldwide due to its nutritional and health benefits. However, the commercial production of yoghurt has been limited due to the poor quality stability in storage. The present study is concerned with development and characterization of value-added foam-mat dried yoghurt powder. The effects of different ingredient formulation and processing parameters on some selected nutritional and functional properties of the developed yoghurt were evaluated. A four-component, six-processing parameters, constrained D-optimal mixture-process experimental design, with 59 randomized experimental runs, was employed. The formulation design constraints were: raw yoghurt (80%), moringa seed extract (5% - 13%), ginger extract, (5% - 13%), and foaming agent (2% - 7%). The design constraints of the processing parameters investigated were: pasteurization temperature (50°C - 80°C), pasteurization duration (5min - 30min), fermentation duration (5hr - 10hr), mixing duration (2 min - 10 min), drying temperature (50°C - 80°C), and drying duration (2hrs - 5hrs). Quality properties evaluated include moisture content, ash content, crude protein, fat content, carbohydrate content, pH, total titer acid, total lactic acid bacteria and fungi counts. Data collected were analyzed using Design Expert 11.0.0 software package. Model equations were developed to adequately relate the quality indices to the mixture component proportions and processing parameters. The adequacy of the model equations were evaluated statistically. The effects of the components formulation proportions and processing parameters on the nutritional quality of the foam-mat dried powdered yoghurt were studied and the optimum conditions for the production of foam-mat dried yoghurt were obtained. Numerical optimization, via desirability technique was utilized to determine the optimum formulation conditions for the foam-mat dried yoghurt. The result of optimization of the formulated foam-mat dried yoghurt gave optimized foam-mat dried yoghurt with overall desirability index of 0.514, based on the set optimization goals and individual quality desirability indices. The optimal foam-mat dried yoghurt was gotten from 80 % raw yoghurt, 13 % moringa seed extract, 5 % ginger extract, and 2 % foaming agent. The optimized processing conditions were 800C pasteurization temperature, 30 minutes pasteurization duration, 10 hours fermentation duration, 10 minutes mixing duration, 800C drying temperature, and 5 hours drying duration. The quality properties of this optimal formulated foam-mat dried yoghurt are: 27.1 % moisture content, 10.1 % crude protein, 0.673 % ash content, 1.43 fat content, 58.4 % carbohydrate, 4.05 pH, 2.58 % total titre acid, 2.23E+05 CFU/g total lactic acid bacteria, and 3.81E+06 CFU/g fungi count. The result of the study showed that the optimized formulated foam-mat dried yoghurt was found to be of high quality.

Published: April 2023

El objetivo de este estudio fue comparar la eficacia de trampas Jackson (TJ) convencionales vs. TJ modificadas con una cámara fotográfica (TJCF) en la captura e identificación de machos de Ceratitis capitata en huertos frutales en pleno desierto de Atacama (Pica, Región de Tarapacá). Ambas trampas fueron cebadas con Trimedlure. Entre octubre y diciembre de 2018, se liberaron periódicamente machos estériles de C. capitata, y se contrastaron las magnitudes de capturas en ambos tipos de trampas. La capacidad de las TJCF de proporcionar imágenes a partir de las cuales reconocer los machos capturados también fue evaluada. Los resultados mostraron que las capturas no fueron estadísticamente diferentes en magnitud entre ambos tipos de trampas (p = 0,8901). Hubo en promedio alta concordancia (94%) entre la identificación de C. capitata desde imágenes captadas por la TJCF y la respectiva revisión presencial de los individuos en campo. El algoritmo de conteo automático presentó un error promedio de un 14%. Al evaluar la concordancia entre la temperatura registrada por sensores dispuestos en la TJCF y las mediciones hechas en una estación agrometeorológica cercana al sitio de estudio, se observó un 94% de concordancia entre ambas mediciones. Los resultados indican que el uso de trampas modificadas para vigilancia temprana y remota de C. capitata es técnicamente factible, sin embargo, se debe mejorar el algoritmo de reconocimiento automático para su eventual adopción por el Ministerio de Agricultura a cargo del control oficial de C. capitata en Chile. Se sugiere evaluar su uso en sitios distantes de difícil acceso, puesto que permitiría generar ahorros en recursos humanos y materiales, además de proveer de antecedentes ambientales del sitio de estudio.
SOIL EROSION BY HAND TOOLS FOR SMALL-SCALE TILLAGE ON HILLSLOPES ASSESSED THROUGH THE UNIVERSAL SOIL LOSS EQUATION
Authors: Delgado Bejarano Laura , González Sanchez Hugo , Castañeda Sánchez Dario
Published: April 2023

The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the erosion rates generated by two types of hand tools for small-scale tillage on a hillslope, using experimental tests and the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE). The hand tools evaluated were a conventional hoe and a redesigned furrowing hoe. The experimental work was conducted in a 145 m2
plot with an average slope of 45% in Colombia. Three treatments were evaluated: a) Zero tillage and no herbicide (control); b) tillage with a conventional hoe plus herbicide; c) tillage with a furrowing hoe plus herbicide. Each treatment was represented by a sedimentation plot, using three repetitions in blocks (lower, middle, and upper parts of each plot), according to the maximum slope gradient. Both hand tillage tools generated high to extremely high erosion rates with differences of up to 8.1 times between them. Both types of tools accelerated soil erosion rates, being higher in furrowing hoe tillage. The USLE method showed no differences in erosion rates between the tillage methods, while differences were found in the experimental tests. This is explained by the lower sensitivity of the USLE to detect small-scale changes in factors such as soil type, cover, and slope.

This research was carried out to evaluate the relationship between the incorporation of calcite precipitation bacteria, sporosarcina pasteurii using calcium lactate as nutrient source and the properties of calcined clay and limestone powder blended self-compacting concrete. Ten mixes were designed and designated S0 to S9 with S0 the control (without bacteria and nutrient) and S1 to S9 at varying bacteria and calcium lactate concentrations and the effect of the bacteria cell density and calcium lactate concentration on the compressive strength, sorptivity and tensile strength with age evaluated using experimental program and statistical packages (ANOVA and post hoc tests). The result of both the experimental program and statistical evaluation shows that the incorporation of sporosarcina pasteurii and calcium lactate as nutrient had a positive impact on the properties of the ternary blended self-compacting concrete.
The Causes of Hiking Ethiopian Consumer Prices
Authors: Genemo Kedir Bekeru
Published: April 2023

A growing consumer price is creating instability in the macroeconomic environment and hinders the consumption level of especially the poor society. This paper then explored the major causes of such increasing consumer prices using Ethiopian cases. Using data from the National Bank of Ethiopia from 1982/1983 to 2019/2020, it condensed the information of monetary sector, external sector and fiscal sector variables to a small set to estimate the causes of Ethiopian consumer price hiking using the ARDL model. The factors determining consumer price differ from food to non-food. The most important factors determining food price are price expectation and fiscal factors. On the other hand, the main determinant of non-food consumer prices is the fiscal factor. The author also found evidence of fiscal factors and price expectation effects on general consumer prices. Therefore, to contain the rise in consumer prices, it needs to exercise conservative fiscal stances, which require minimizing deficit financing, reducing the import tax rate and reducing domestic indirect tax rates such as excise tax and value added tax on basic consumer goods and services. Moreover, sound government policies are essential to address inflation anticipations (providing information for society about the future of inflation) to change public opinion.

Published: April 2023

Diabetes mellitus is a long term, diverse metabolic illness with a complex pathophysiology. Hyperglycemia, which stems from anomalies in either insulin secretion or insulin action or both, is its defining feature. Metabolic dysfunctions involving proteins, carbohydrates, and fats originate from hyperglycemia, which can express itself in a variety of ways. The main cause of diabetes related morbidity and mortality is long term hyperglycemia, which frequently results in a variety of microvascular and macro vascular diabetic complications. The main biomarker for determining diabetes diagnosis is hyperglycemia. The increase in prevalence rate, high expense of treatment, common side effects of oral antidiabetic medications is a global health challenge. Therefore, medicinal plants could be a viable ways to maximize its utilization in both food and medicine for management of diabetes and its complications. This review discussed the classification of diabetes, its pathophysiology, approved drugs and several medicinal plants that are used to manage diabetes.

Authors: Fahrizal Yanuar , Saputri Reny Nur
Published: April 2023

Background: Psycho-religious therapy can be used to treat schizophrenia patients. Group therapy is also effective at reducing the signs and symptoms of hallucinations. Combining these two methods for the intervention of schizophrenic patients who experience hallucinations still needs scientific evidence.Objective: This study aims to determine the influence of dhikr psycho-religious group therapy on changes in signs of hallucination symptoms in patients with a psychotic disorder.Methods: This is a pre-experiment study with a pre-post-test design. The sample number was 33 participants in schizophrenia patients with hallucinations. Sampling techniques use purposive sampling that meets inclusion criteria. The research instrument uses a hallucination signs and symptoms evaluation questionnaire. Dhikr psycho-religious group therapy is carried out in 4 times meetings with two stages—data analysis using frequency distribution and statistically paired t-test test.Results: The hallucination symptom score before the intervention was 22.36; after the intervention, it decreased to 11.03. The statistical analysis showed significant differences in hallucination symptoms before and after the intervention of psycho-religious group therapy (p<0.05). Psycho-religious group therapy provides a medium effect in reducing hallucination symptoms (Cohen's d: 3.09).Conclusion: Psycho-religious group therapy can significantly reduce hallucination symptoms.

Hip Hop
Authors: BALDO Maria Isabel
Published: April 2023

Respaldado no horizonte de educação popular de Paulo Freire, sobretudo no que se refere à prática educativa como a junção do saber popular com o saber erudito, e na perspectiva da ecologia de saberes promulgada por Boaventura de Sousa Santos, o presente artigo pretende situar a cultura Hip Hop – por nós aqui entendida também como um movimento social urbano – como possibilidade possível de educação emancipatória e, deste modo, de empoderamento e visibilidade social de vozes silenciadas nas periferias, respaldada na resistência e na participação coletiva.

Civilian armored vehicle operations in Brazil – challenges and production processes improvements: a qualitative survey
Authors: Candido Guido Muzio , Kaminski Paulo Carlos
Published: April 2023

Armoring civilian vehicles requires specialized knowledge and experience that many armoring companies lack as they are not direct or indirect suppliers of vehicle manufacturers. This limits their access to automotive quality and manufacturing certifications or detailed vehicle designs, which can result in loss or malfunctioning of automotive components during the armoring process. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the challenges faced by Brazilian civilian armoring companies and identify opportunities for improvement in their production processes. Qualitative research was conducted using a questionnaire-based survey of eight specialized firms in Brazil, as well as literature related to DFMA, design for manufacturing and assembly, quality, automotive, and ballistic references. The study results include detailed armoring operation steps, qualitative survey reports, and helpful literature references for armoring practitioners to generate a standard armoring procedure for different vehicle models. Following best practices in automotive and armoring procedures collected in the survey responses can standardize and enhance ballistic protection operations while preserving the original vehicle systems' functionalities and warranties. This work provides valuable information for armoring companies to improve their operations and interfaces with automotive systems and follow automotive and ballistic references.
