Published: September 2024

The waste from the operation activities of the Nagan Raya 1-2 Power Plant (PLTU) has caused environmental pollution. Therefore, this research was conducted to find a solution on how to directly reduce the environmental pollution load due to the accumulation of solid waste in the form of fly ash. This was achieved by conducting a technical and economic analysis to obtain the effectiveness and efficiency values of producing environmentally friendly paving blocks. The results showed that in terms of technical analysis, the highest water absorption percentage occurred in the composition with 25% fly ash, which was 10.73%, followed by compositions with 20%, 15%, 10%, and 5% fly ash, which had absorption percentages of 10.30%, 9.69%, 9.40%, and 8.60%, respectively. According to the SNI 03-0692-1996 standard, the maximum water absorption for paving blocks of quality grade D is 10%. In terms of economic analysis, the highest cost was incurred with a composition of 0% fly ash, which was Rp. 2,565.00, followed by compositions with 5%, 10%, and 15% fly ash, which had costs of Rp. 2,516.00, Rp. 2,468.00, and Rp. 2,420.00, respectively. Therefore, it can be concluded that the composition with 15% fly ash meets the effectiveness and efficiency criteria in both technical and economic aspects. Keywords: Fly ash, technical analysis, economic analysis

Authors: Vasilev Yuriy A. , Pestrenin Lev D. , Rumyantsev Denis A. , Novik Vladimir P.
Published: September 2024

Introduction: To achieve the highest diagnostic accuracy of AI services in radiology, it is necessary to test and validate them on data sets that consider the balance of classes of various abnormalities. Information about the frequency of abnormal findings in practical healthcare is essential for creation of such datasets.
Objective: To establish the frequency of chest X-ray abnormalities using big data from the healthcare system of a Russian metropolis.
Materials and methods: We conducted an observational multicenter retrospective sample study by retrieving 562,077 chest X-ray reports dated February 18, 2021 to June 11, 2021 from the Unified Radiological Information Service of the Unified Medical Information Analysis System of the city of Moscow, which were then analyzed and automatically labeled using the Medlabel tool. The results were processed in Microsoft Excel and using the Python 3.9 programming language. Group differences were determined using the chi-square test.
Results: Among all analyzed reports, cardiomegaly was the most frequent abnormal finding (12.23 %), while the proportion of other abnormalities did not exceed 3.0 %. Among all abnormal chest X-rays, 79.60 % showed only one abnormality with cardiomegaly found in 80.78 % of cases. Among the reports with two or more abnormal findings, cardiomegaly was detected in only 43.36 % of cases, whereas opacities (64.98 %) and infiltration/consolidation (64.50 %) prevailed.
Conclusions: The proportion of abnormal chest X-rays was 16.7 %. In terms of the frequency of occurrence, cardiomegaly ranked first followed by focal pulmonary opacity and infiltration/consolidation. It is worth noting that the frequency of certain types of abnormalities varied significantly between the tests with one and several (two or more) abnormal findings, which should be taken into account when training and testing AI services.

the Environment and Population Health
Authors: Efimova Natalia V. , Bobkova Elena V. , Zaikova Zoia A.
Published: September 2024

Introduction: The complex of environmental factors on a single territory is spatially diverse and dynamic, but there is almost no experience in using statistical indicators of variability.
Objective: To identify the most informative criteria of variability of the indicators characterizing the environment and population health using the example of an industrial city.
Materials and methods: We have considered five criteria (median, interquartile range, standard deviation, average annual growth rate, and coefficient of variation) used to describe short variation series. The analysis of variability in the “environment –
population health” system of the city of Bratsk was carried out using 25 indicators, including characteristics of ambient air pollution, climate, socio-economic status, commitment to a healthy lifestyle, and population health for the years 2011 to 2021. Correlation and regression analysis were used.
Results: We have substantiated the use of coefficients of variation and growth rates for the analysis of the “environment – population health” systems. Among the elements of the system, 56 % of the characteristics in the city of Bratsk showed minor variability; the prevalence of healthy eating, smoking, and sufficient physical activity; the cost of fixed assets and wages fell into the range of low variability; air pollution and drug use – moderate one, while the prevalence of alcohol abuse and the volume of investment in fixed assets demonstrated noticeable variability. Population health characteristics during the study period were less variable than environmental indicators, which is likely a reflection of the adaptive capabilities of the population.
Conclusion: For the practical use by specialists analyzing the relationship between risk factors and population health, it is proposed to use the average annual growth rate and the coefficient of variation. The advantages of the combined use of these indicators include the ability to identify not only the spread of the characteristics being studied, but also their trends, and no dependence on numerical representation of the characteristics considered.

Published: September 2024

Introduction: Electronic cigarettes, or electronic nicotine delivery devices, have recently appeared on the global market and become very popular with adolescents and young adults. Manufacturers and distributors of e-cigarettes position them as harmless innovative products that reduce or eliminate exposures to harmful tobacco combustion products and help quit smoking, but this is not true.
Objective: To establish health effects of electronic cigarettes and the associated risks for young people by reviewing recent research findings.
Material and methods: We have searched eLibrary,PubMed, CyberLeninka databases for publications on the topic using the following keywords: electronic cigarettes, vapes, health effects, adolescents, and youth. Of 328 sources initially selected, we included 38 papers published in 2017 to 2023 and reporting results of prevalence of smoking electronic cigarettes, assessing health risks posed by the use of e-cigarettes in the review.
Results: Our study revealed the extensive use of electronic cigarettes, specifics of their health effects in young people, the potential for developing nicotine dependence and a whole number of diseases of the respiratory, cardiovascular and digestive systems and other disorders in e-cigarette smokers. According to our findings, e-cigarettes are widely available and easily accessible to schoolchildren and are used not only at home, but also at school. These devices and chemicals contained in the generated aerosols, many of which are carcinogenic to humans, can induce multiple diseases in users. It also demonstrated that young people are poorly aware of adverse outcomes of using the devices.
Conclusions: Electronic cigarettes and the substances contained in vaping liquids, many of which are carcinogenic, can have negative effects on health. In order to ensure the health savings of the child population and youth, strict compliance with the already existing introduced legislative restrictions, the implementation of measures restricting the sale of electronic cigarettes and their advertising, as well as the development and implementation of preventive programs for children, adolescents and youth in educational organizations is necessary. Vaping prevention programs implemented at
schools should include information about adverse human health effects of electronic cigarettes and possible consequences in case of non-compliance with restrictive legislative measures.

Introduction: Arctic ecosystems are the most important object of microbiological surveillance that helps monitor a rapidly changing natural environment affected by climate change and industrial development of the northern territories.
Objective: To assess the epidemic potential of opportunistic bacteria associated with animals from the Arctic islands of the Barents and Kara Seas.
Materials and methods: We have studied four strains of gram-negative opportunistic bacteria (Serratia fonticola, Aeromonas salmonicida, Yersinia kristensenii, and Yersinia rochesterensis) isolated in 2021–2022 during microbiological testing of 46 samples of zoogenic biologic materials from the natural ecosystems of Vaigach Island, Novaya Zemlya and Franz Josef Land archipelagos. Genomes of the isolated microbial strains were sequenced using the Illumina MiSeq sequencing system and, after de novo assembly using the SPAdes 13.0 genomic assembler, annotated with RAST (Rapid Annotation using Subsystem Technology).
Results: The strains were shown to possess a number of virulence factors and antibiotic resistance genes, which allows them to be considered as potential pathogens. Classes A, B, and C beta-lactamases were found in the genomes of all the bacteria under study, and operons for siderophores and type IV secretion systems were typical of virulence factors. In addition, the pertussis-like YtxA enterotoxin was identified in Yersinia genomes.
Conclusions: Our findings indicate the possibility of emergence of natural foci of notifiable infections on the islands in the high-latitude Arctic promising in terms of tourism development and economic growth.
Detection and Classification of Banana Leaf Diseases: Systematic Literature Review
Authors:   Universitas AMIKOM Yogyakarta, Prasetyo Ade , Utami Ema
Published: September 2024

Bananas, a staple fruit globally, are essential for sustenance, employment, and income. However, diseases like Sigatoka, Bacterial Wilt, Bunchy Top, and Fusarium Wilt pose a threat to their cultivation, affecting both small-scale and large-scale production. This survey investigates methods for the early identification and classification of these banana leaf diseases using deep learning and machine learning techniques. A systematic review of 15 studies revealed that the majority of research concentrates on binary classification, which distinguishes healthy from diseased leaves. Common preprocessing steps include image resizing, color space conversion, and background removal to improve model accuracy. We utilize techniques such as ensemble approaches, support vector machines (SVM), random forests, K-means clustering, and convolutional neural networks (CNNs), with CNNs demonstrating superior performance, achieving accuracy rates ranging from 85% to 98.97%. CNNs excel in hierarchical feature extraction but require significant computational power. Traditional machine learning methods offer simplicity and resistance to overfitting but need careful parameter tuning. Advanced deep learning architectures, such as DenseNet and Inception V3, achieve high accuracy but with greater computational demands. Lightweight models like SqueezeNet balance performance and size, but ensemble methods, while improving generalization, add complexity. The choice of method depends on dataset characteristics, available computational resources, and desired trade-offs between performance and complexity. This study provides an overview of current research in banana leaf disease classification, discussing the strengths and limitations of various approaches and suggesting directions for future research to improve detection accuracy and robustness.

Published: September 2024

The problem that occurred in the ABC Flats Construction Project in Banjarbaru was that the project land was quite narrow. So if there is a large scale accumulation of material waste and lack of material management it can result in delays in the construction process, especially the mobilization and demobilization of tools. The aim of this research is to determine materials that cause large waste costs and the factors that cause them, as well as possible strategies to minimize waste. The analysis method is carried out using Pareto, waste cost and fishbone analysis. Collecting data by means of observation and interviews or brainstorming on several similar projects. The results of the Pareto analysis (80/20) show that there are two materials that contribute large costs, namely iron and concrete. The material that has the potential to generate large waste costs in the ABC Kalimantan Flats Construction Project as of the 21st week is ready mix concrete. The contribution of waste value per square meter is 0.073 m3 with a waste cost of 0.003% of the contract value. Based on the fishbone analysis, it was found thst the factors causing waste are a narrow location, stacking of moving materials, workers placing material carelessly, length of reinforcement that is not uniform, simplification of the shape of the pile cap structure, use of tools that do not match their function, number of orders that do not match, the rest of the concrete in the mixer, workers fatigue. Strategies to minimize waste of iron-concrete and ready-mix concrete materials are providing guidance to blacksmiths and workers, making access to tool distribution, using tools according to their functions, utilizing residual concrete, analyzing linear programs or barbending schedules. These results become considerations and suggestions in reducing the project budget due to the impact of material waste.

Authors: Bangara Samwel Ndaita , Chesoli Joshua Wafula , Ngacho Christopher , Nyanga’u Andrew
Published: September 2024

Kenyan Listed companies have witnessed volatility in firm values as measured by market -to-book value ratio over time. While, corporate disclosure has long been linked with firm value, integrating non-financial with financial information disclosures in a single report as championed through the  framework has not been extensively examined in the African context, specifically on its influence on company value. While, preceding studies in other settings have reported mixed findings, this comparative investigation was intended to find out how disclosure of human capital being one of the fundamental concepts of  capitals affect the value of listed companies in Kenya and South Africa. On the basis of positivist research philosophy, the researcher employed both exploratory and confirmatory research designs. The study was braced on the stakeholder and Legitimacy theories. 209 listed companies formed the population of the study. Out of this population, a sample of 137 companies was purposefully selected, comprising of 19 firms listed in the NSE, Kenya and 118 companies listed in the JSE, South Africa. Data was collected from secondary sources involving audited annual integrated report and financial statements of the targeted companies. Tobin’s Q ratio, was used as a surrogate for Firm Value, as, human capital disclosure was measured using an unweighted disclosure index. Preliminary analyses were conducted, such as descriptive statistics and correlation matrix. To test the hypothesized relationship, regression techniques were employed. The results signify that human capital disclosure has a statistically significant negative effect on firm value for Kenyan listed companies as South Africa affirmed positive and significant results. The study therefore recommends that Kenya listed companies should be obligated to adopt and apply integrated reporting in relation to human capital disclosure aspects as this will not only improve shareholder understanding of financial state

Of the 156 participants, 104 (67%) were males and 52 (33%) were females. The bulk of participants were 31–35 (33%), 36–40 (30%), and under 30 (13%). Neck pain was experienced by 38% of participants, including 44% of surgeons and 25% of non-surgical specialists. Surgeons had a greater neck pain rate (RR = 0.420, 95% CI = 0.201–0.879). About 20% of participants, including 24% of surgeons and 13% of non-surgical specialists, reported shoulder pain. The study found a relative risk (RR) of 0.492 and a 95% confidence interval (CI) of 0.197–1.227 between shoulder pain and surgery. Additionally, 57% of participants—66% surgeons and 38% other specialties—reported lower back pain. With an RR of 0.317 (95% CI 0.159–0.633), surgeons are more likely to experience lower back pain. Foot discomfort affected 7% of participants, 9% of cases, and 4% of controls. Cases increased foot pain risk by 0.422 (95% CI 0.088–2.029). Conclusion: Surgeons in various specializations in Sudan, as well as doctors in non-surgical specialties, have a significant prevalence of musculoskeletal discomfort. The most often reported areas of pain were the lumbar region, cervical region, shoulder, and lower extremities.

Background: Excessive and uncontrolled internet use can significantly impair daily functioning in various life domains. Despite the numerous benefits of the internet, its addictive use is a growing concern, particularly among youth, who are prone to anxiety, depression, and stress-related disorders. Understanding the current scenario is essential for devising effective interventions, yet no scientific data is available in Bangladesh. Objective: To assess between depression, anxiety, and stress among youth with problematic internet use (PIU) attending a tertiary care hospital. Methods: This cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted at the Department of Psychiatry, Department of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, from October 2020 to September 2022. Participants were interviewed using a structured socio-demographic questionnaire, the Bangla versions of the Internet Addiction Test (IAT), and the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21-BV). Data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0, with significance set at p<0.05. Results: Among the 90 participants (mean age: 21.33 years; 68% male, 32% female), 95% were students, and 87% were from nuclear families. Internet use exceeded one year for 83% of participants. PIU levels were minimal in 15%, moderate in 62%, and excessive in 22%. Severe depression was observed in 15% of participants, severe anxiety in 25%, and severe stress in 25%. Extremely severe levels of depression, anxiety, and stress were found in 14%, 5%, and 14% of participants, respectively. Significant risk factors for PIU included male gender (χ²=8.217; p=0.02) and over three hours of daily internet use (χ²=35.289; p=0.001). PIU was significantly associated with depression (χ²=20.380; p=0.001), anxiety (χ²=16.159; p=0.019), and stress (χ²=14.734; p=0.019). Conclusion: Depression, anxiety, and stress are significantly associated with PIU. Early risk assessment, proper internet use, and initial screening are essential for managing potential mental disorders linked to PIU.

Published: September 2024

Xeroderma pigmentoso (XP) é uma doença de transmissão autossômica recessiva, rara, podendo afetar ambos os sexos e qualquer raça. No Brasil tem  incidência de 1 caso para cada 1 milhão de indivíduos. Populações com isolamento geográfico e/ou alto nível de consanguinidade podem ter uma incidência maior, como é o caso do distrito de Araras,  na cidade de Faina (GO), onde a incidência do XP é de 1 caso para cada 410 habitantes. Clinicamente,  caracteriza-se  por eritema com descamação e hiperpigmentação difusa principalmente nas áreas fotoexpostas, que, geralmente, iniciam-se nos primeiros anos de vida. Tais lesões apresentam alto risco de progressão para neoplasias, como carcinoma basocelular, espinocelular e melanomas. A prevenção baseia-se no uso de protetores solar e peças de roupa com proteção
