Vegetation plays a key role in trapping sediments and further controlling pollutants. However, few studies were conducted to clarify the erosion and deposition laws of sediments and the influence factors caused by vegetation patch properties, which is not conducive to the revelation of riverbank protection and erosion prevention. Therefore, this study investigated the change in scouring and deposition characteristics around submerged vegetation patches of nine kinds of typical configurations and their influencing factors. Vegetation patches were assembled from three vegetation densities (G/d = 0.83, 1.3, and 1.77, representing dense, medium, and sparse, respectively), and three vegetation patch thicknesses (dn = 170, 400, and 630, representing narrow, usual, and wide, respectively), to measure vegetation patch property influences. Flow velocity, scouring, and deposition characteristics under nine patches were determined by a hydraulic flume experiment, three-dimensional acoustic Doppler velocimetry (ADV), and three-dimensional laser scanner, and then ten geometry and morphology indices were measured and calculated based on the results of laser scanning. Results showed that both vegetation patch density and thickness were positively related to the turbulence kinetic energy (TKE) above the vegetation canopy, and only vegetation patch density was negatively related to the flow velocity above the vegetation canopy. The relation between the product of density and vegetation patch thickness and erosion area in planform (EA) showed a power function (R2 = 0.644). Both density and vegetation patch thickness determined the scouring degree, but deposition location and amount did not rely on each one simply. On average, medium density showed the smallest maximum erosion length (MEL), EA, deposition area in planform (DA), and average deposition length (ADL) and a minimum of the above parameters also occurred at narrow vegetation patch thickness. The shape factor of the erosion volume (SFEV), the shape factor of the deposition volume (SFDV), ADL, and MEL of medium density and narrow thickness vegetation patch (G/d = 1.3, dn = 170) were significantly smaller than that of other types of patches. DA and equivalent prismatic erosion depth on the erosion area (EPED) were significantly linearly related (R2 = 0.766). Consequently, most sediment was deposited close to the vegetation patch edge. It is suggested that vegetation patch thickness and density should be given to control sediment transport. In particular, natural vegetation growth changes vegetation patch density and then alters vegetation patch thickness. Management and repair need to be first considered. The results of this study shed light on riparian zone recovery and vegetation filter strip mechanism.

Published: July 2024

Effective management of urban solid waste in the Metropolitan Region of Belém, State of Pará, Brazil is essential for conserving ecosystems and public health in eight cities, emphasizing the municipality of Marituba. Considering the vulnerability of underground water resources in Marituba to pollution due to the possible impact of leachate percolation from the landfill, this study evaluates the quality of groundwater captured in tubular wells from different adjacent locations potentially used for human consumption. For this purpose, the systematic methodologies of the groundwater quality index and human health risk assessment analysis: non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risk to human health were used based on chronic daily intake of heavy metals by consumption and dermal adsorption of groundwater, measured through risk quotients, risk index, and incremental lifetime cancer risk. To evaluate the interrelationships of pollutants, analysis of variance, hierarchical cluster analysis, and principal component analysis were used based on the spatio-temporal quantification of pH, temperature, electrical conductivity, As, Al, Ba, Co, Cd, Cu, Cr, Fe, Hg, Ni, Pb, Sb, Se, U, and Zn. Residents of the study area are not at potential risk, as the results demonstrate that groundwater is within the potability standards of Brazilian legislation, except for aluminum concentrations, which ranged from 53.12 to 378.01 μg L−1 and 3.82 to 339.5 μg L−1 in the dry and rainy seasons, respectively, exceeding the established limit of 200.0 μg L−1. The quality index for groundwater and the heavy metal pollution index demonstrated that groundwater has good drinking quality with low metal contamination. The risk was considered low at all sampling sites in the non-carcinogenic risk assessment. Principal component analysis indicated that the sources of metal pollution are natural origins and anthropogeny. In this sense, they become worried because aluminum is a recognized neurotoxicant that can interfere with the central nervous system’s critical physiological and biochemical processes. Furthermore, despite complying with potability standards, trace concentrations of highly toxic metals such as As, Pb, Cd, and Ni may indicate initial contamination by landfill leachate.
Simulating EV Growth Scenarios in Jawa-Madura-Bali from 2024 to 2029: Balancing the Power Grid’s Supply and Demand
Authors: Tampubolon Joshua Veli , Dalimi Rinaldy
Published: July 2024

This study provides a comprehensive simulation for understanding the influence of EV growth and its external factors on grid stability and offers insights into effective management strategies. To manage the growth of battery-based electric vehicles (BEVs) in Indonesia and mitigate their impact on the power grid’s supply–demand equilibrium, regulatory adjustments and subsidies can be implemented by the government. The Jawa-Madura-Bali (Jamali) electrical system, as the largest in Indonesia, is challenged with accommodating the rising number of vehicles. Following an analysis of Jamali’s electricity supply using data from the National Electricity Company (RUPTL), simulations are constructed to model the grid’s demand side. Input variables such as Jamali’s population, the numbers of internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric vehicles, initial charging times (ICT), slow and fast charging ratios, and BEV charge load curves are simulated. Scenario variables, including supply capacity growth rate, vehicle population growth rate, subsidy impact on EV attractiveness, ICT, and fast charging ratio, are subsequently simulated for the 2024–2029 period. Four key simulation outcomes are identified. The best-case scenario (scenario 1776) achieves the highest EV growth with minimal grid disruption, resulting in a 45.38% EV percentage in 2029 and requiring an annual allocation of 492 billion rupiah to match supply with demand. The worst-case scenario leads to a 23.12% EV percentage, necessitating 47,566 billion rupiah for EV subsidies in 2029. Additionally, the most and least probable scenarios based on the literature research are evaluated. This novel simulation and its results provide insights into EV growth’s impact on the grid’s balance in one presidential term from 2024 to 2029, aiding the government in planning regulations and subsidies effectively.

Introdução: A anemia é um distúrbio hematológico frequente em crianças, e sua presença pode impactar nos desfechos clínicos de pacientes hospitalizados por diversos motivos. Objetivos: Avaliar a ocorrência de anemia em crianças hospitalizadas em um hospital universitário, analisando o contexto sociodemográfico, prováveis etiologias, investigação laboratorial e desfechos clínicos. Material e Métodos: Estudo observacional, retrospectivo que avaliou prontuários eletrônicos de todas as internações da enfermaria de pediatria de um hospital universitário no ano de 2019. Foram coletados dados sociodemográficos e clínicos de todos os pacientes e dados laboratoriais daqueles que realizaram pelo menos um hemograma durante a internação. Resultados: Dos 504 pacientes avaliados, 58,9% realizaram pelo menos um hemograma completo durante a internação. Dos pacientes com hemograma disponível, 28,7% apresentavam anemia de acordo com os valores de referência. A maioria (87,9%) apresentava anemia leve. As etiologias mais frequentes foram anemia da inflamação e por deficiência de ferro. A presença de anemia não se correlacionou de forma estatisticamente significativa com o número de comorbidades e com a necessidade de reinternação para os pacientes da amostra. Conclusão: A anemia é frequente em pacientes pediátricos hospitalizados, ainda que a maioria não apresente comorbidades. A hospitalização pode ser uma oportunidade para diagnóstico, investigação etiológica, início de tratamento e profilaxia da anemia.

Introdução: A psoríase, uma doença inflamatória crônica e imunomediada da pele, afeta aproximadamente 125 milhões de pessoas no mundo. Agentes imunossupressores são geralmente utilizados, porém podem causar efeitos colaterais locais e sistêmicos. Logo, há uma busca por novos agentes antipsoriáticos eficazes e com menor incidência de efeitos adversos, incluindo as formulações à base de plantas. Objetivos: Avaliar in vivo o potencial antipsoriático de formulações tópicas contendo uma fração hexânica da espécie vegetal Lacistema pubescens (HLP) e uma fração rica em sitosterol (SLP). Material e Métodos: As formulações foram preparadas na forma de creme contendo HLP e SLP, ambas a 6%. A atividade antipsoriática dos cremes HLP e SLP foi avaliada em camundongos pelo modelo do mouse tail test, em que 20 mg de cada creme foram aplicados; e do edema de orelha induzido por imiquimode (IMQ), em que 10 mg dos cremes foram administrados. Resultados: Verificou-se no modelo do mouse tail test que o creme HLP induziu a ortoceratose em 36,9%, bem como aumentou a espessura da epiderme (116,7%). O creme HLP também inibiu significativamente o aumento na espessura da orelha dos animais que receberam IMQ a partir do 10º dia, bem como os parâmetros inflamatórios. O creme SLP não demonstrou ação significativa. Conclusão: A fração hexânica de L. pubescens apresentou potencial terapêutico no tratamento da psoríase, o que encoraja futuros estudos para melhor investigação de como aproveitá-la na terapêutica.
mito da família desestruturada

Published: July 2024

Com o objetivo de compreender o fenômeno da violência escolar em suas dimensões discursivas e imaginárias, desenvolvemos entrevistas semiestruturadas com professores e gestores de uma escola da rede estadual de ensino de Belém-Pa, tomando a hermenêutica a partir da Mitocrítica durandiana como referência epistemológica de análise. A partir disto, observamos que uma das principais causas da violência na escola aparece sob o mito da “desestruturação” familiar, quer seja a que se expressa pela ausência de membros tradicionais e papéis sociais que “deveriam” desempenhar; pela ausência da família na escola; e/ou pela ausência de um sistema disciplinar rígido, o que seria responsável pela produção de alunos-jovens delinquentes e ou violentos. Um imaginário que buscamos problematizar, visto que está indissociado da condição de pobreza e do espaço da escola pública.

A scoping review of fundamental concepts relevant to the education of occupational therapists delivering driving assessments in Aotearoa | New Zealand
Authors:   , Molyneux Karen
Published: July 2024

In Aotearoa | New Zealand occupational therapists provide driving, passenger, and vehicle modification assessments. The therapists’ role involves significant responsibility and accountability by ensuring not only the safety of clients and the New Zealand public but also meeting and understanding the legal implications of assessments. A scoping review to identify and map the educational needs of occupational therapists intending to practice driving assessment has been undertaken. Although occupational therapy driving assessments are offered in Aotearoa | New Zealand, no formal education is available to provide an opportunity to engage and obtain core fundamental concepts. The review question was therefore developed as “What does the literature identify as the knowledge, skills and competency required to be an occupational therapy driving assessor?” Occupational therapists work with families and cover a wide and diverse range of medical conditions and physical capabilities, while also prescribing the use of modifications and adaptations. Access to assessment for the intervention and evaluation of driving ability for adolescents and youth with congenital, traumatic, or medical conditions are supported by occupational therapists. At the same time, research and articles published both nationally and internationally report the exponential growth of senior populations in the future, which will correlate to an increase in the numbers of senior drivers intending to, or wishing to maintain their driving independence. Accordingly, occupational therapists will be under greater demand to provide services for age-based and medical driving assessments (Dickerson et al., 2011; Martin et al., 2013). Establishing the fundamentals of an educational programme designed for the Aotearoa | New Zealand environment is judicious and timely.

KEAWETAN ALAMI TRUBUSAN JATI (Tectona grandis Linn f.) UNGGUL NUSANTARA TERHADAP RAYAP KAYU KERING (Cryptotermes cynocephalus Light)
Authors: Meiganati Kustin bintani
Published: July 2024

Jati Unggul Nusantara (Tectona grandis Linn f.) or commonly known as JUN is an engineered product to reduce the teak cycle. Teak is one type of tree whose wood is in great demand because it is known to be the strongest and has a high selling value. Durability is the natural resistance of wood to wood-destroying organisms. The main cause of the low durability of a wood is due to termite attack. Termite attacks can have an impact on the selling value of a wood, therefore research on the natural durability of wood needs to be done. This study aims to determine the value of natural durability of JUN wood from dry wood termites. This research was conducted for 90 days of observation. The results showed that the natural durability of the JUNÂ shoots in the Experimental Garden of the UNB was classified as not resistant to dry wood termite attacks or was in durable class IV. This statement was obtained from the results of research on weight loss and low termite mortality. Judging from the low natural durability of the JUNÂ branches located at the Experimental Garden of the UNB, the wood must be preserved before being used to increase its service life. Preservation method that can be used is the hot-cold preservation method which can produce higher preservative retention.Key words : JUN, Dry Wood Termite, Natural Durability.

The thesis on the use of the concept of «oxymoron» in the sociology of city architecture within the boundaries of an interdisciplinary field is disclosed. Oxymoron has been proven to play an important role in the sociology of architecture in terms of creating a comfortable, functional environment and environmentally friendly that promotes interaction and social integration. The basic oxymorons-terms are highlighted and analyzed: deconstructivism, house is a machine for living, garden city. In these oxymorons, linguistic antinomies are clearly manifested: statics - dynamics, objective - subjective, social - individual. It has been shown that basic oxymorons-terms fully satisfy modern social needs. Based on the basic oxymorons-terms, the architectural oxymorons were analyzed: flag house, viaduct city, flying houses, glass house, water scraper, and heavenly earth. The obtained results can be used to improve the people life quality and create a more harmonious environment.

The key concept of " The article reveals the specifics of the process of inculturation of foreign students in the foreign-language socio-cultural environment of the learning region. The authors substantiate the significant role of cultural and leisure institutions and their proposed programs in this process. The key concept of "secondary inculturation" is considered in detail, which includes both a theoretical system of knowledge about the culture of the country, and practical language learning, immersion in the environment of communication, the development of norms and traditions by adults with an established system of values. The described practice of the departmental university contributes to the development of communication skills of interaction, increases the motivation of students to learn the Russian language and, as a result, form a respectful attitude towards our country. Institutions of the socio-cultural sphere provide significant assistance in this, involving listeners in the language environment through dialogue and making them active participants in events. The paper shows the importance of the role of a teacher who helps foreign students to adapt to the situation of familiarization with a new linguistic and cultural environment, carries out a competent selection of cognitive material, taking into account the level of their training. It is concluded that as a result of such work, the cultural identity of the listeners is formed, and the process of inculturation is more effective in comparison with the use of traditional methods of language teaching. Scientific novelty: the competent selection of various forms of leisure activities conducted by institutions of the socio-cultural sphere contributes to a more successful assimilation of cultural norms, entry into the language environment, i.e. accelerates the process of inculturation, thanks to the informal atmosphere and the active participation of foreign students themselves in this educational process.
FAVORITE BOOK IN THE READING PREFERENCES OF MODERN RUSSIAN STUDENTS (BASED ON THE EXAMPLE OF UNIVERSITIES IN ASTRAKHAN AND MOSCOW)

A favorite book occupies a special place in the structure of personal reader preferences as one of the mechanisms for the formation of the inner world of a personality. The practice of repeatedly referring to a favorite book associated with a particular emotional state increases its importance in times of instability. The changing social reality, globalization and modernization processes actualize the study of students due to the special status of this demographic group. Based on the results of a specific sociological study, it is shown that the favorite book occupies a significant place in the structure of students' reading preferences - the majority of respondents call these books. But hundreds of titles and a variety of literary genres of the "digital" student's favorite books reflect the modern social reality of many communication channels, information wars, the borderlands of the strange, real and virtual. Science fiction, horror, and manga are also becoming favorites. At the same time, the share of literary classics among favorite books is decreasing, although works that have become classics continue to prevail as favorite and significant. Multilayered, ambiguous and even contradictory ("War and peace", "Crime and punishment") modernity is one of the probable reasons that the novel "The Master and Margarita" by M.A. Bulgakov has been taking the first place in the structure of reading preferences of Russian students for several years.

Social Justice in Community Environments: A Collaborative Photovoice Process
Authors: Schindler-Ruwisch Jennifer , Ramos Paiz Helen , Pryor Kaila
Published: July 2024

A small New England University and a local community center undertook a community based participatory research approach to understand the community-driven factors that most impact health. Photovoice was utilized to collaboratively highlight priority issues and to collectively advocate for change. The Photovoice approach was particularly useful in this context to transcend language differences and foster community dialogue between community and institutional partners in a way that dismantled traditional — and historically harmful — power dynamics between institutions and communities. The goal of utilizing this participatory-based method was to support community-identified social-ecological change, advocate for identified environmental justice priority issues, and support sustained community involvement. The novel aspects of the approach included guiding students and community members through this process in a community-engaged learning context that brought together linguistically diverse populations with a foundation of cultural humility, respect, and multi-directional learning.

Developing sustainable research and health equity partnerships is crucial for creating long-term solutions that address systemic disparities and improve community well-being. Coalition building, a fundamental strategy in this process, unites diverse stakeholders to collaborate on shared goals, amplifying collective impact. The importance of such an approach led to the development of the Nevada Minority Health and Equity Coalition (NMHEC). This study aims to achieve two primary objectives: first, to identify and integrate networked resources into the community coalition action theory (CCAT) framework to advance an understanding of community resilience; second, to share NMHEC strategies that incorporate community participation within each CCAT construct. The article outlines a generalizable process for establishing a robust health equity coalition through a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach framed by CCAT and Community Resilience Theory (CR) principles. Documenting the narrative, facilitators, and barriers through an analysis of archival documents — including coalition recruitment materials, meeting minutes, and partnership and event evaluations — the study maps activities and resources to CCAT constructs.

Findings highlight six foundational areas of NMHEC operations: 1) aligning fiscal agency with the coalition’s mission and vision; 2) implementing tiered membership to ensure participation equity; 3) co-developing operational norms to shape culture and interactions; 4) building capacity based on member feedback to assess available skills and resources; 5) sharing resources such as grant awards and staff time with coalition partners; and 6) seeking external advice from national experts to learn from other partnerships. This application of CCAT, CR, and CBPR illustrates effective strategies for fostering, maintaining, and sustaining partnerships to address health inequities.

The Nashville Youth Design Team (NYDT) is a youth participatory action research and design collective based in Metro Nashville-Davidson County, Tennessee, USA. Developing out of a longstanding collaborative partnership between the Civic Design Center, a Nashville-based nonprofit that supports community engagement in urban design and planning, and researchers from Vanderbilt University, the NYDT seeks to improve youth health and well-being through research, design, and advocacy. In this paper we briefly describe the origins and goals of the NYDT before applying the NYDT’s action research process to the team’s most recent project, the Dream City Workshop, to illustrate how the team’s work aims to center youth voices in decision-making spaces and challenge structural inequities within the built environment. The Dream City Workshop is a two hour design thinking workshop, where youth participants are encouraged to create a city specifically designed to meet the needs of young people; a city where the only limit is their imagination. The goal of this workshop is to help young people think creatively to resist hegemonic norms and challenge structural inequities like structural racism and classism to imagine a better and more inclusive city for all. Following a detailed description of the development and implementation of the Dream City Workshop, we consider the strengths and weaknesses of the NYDT’s action research process and the workshop, specifically exploring how the team, through their work, seeks to address structural racism and work towards health equity. We conclude the paper by providing recommendations for others interested in cultivating similar locally focused action research projects and collectives.

Published: July 2024

The study aimed to investigate the factors influencing the utilization of data visualization tools among County and Sub County Health Managers in eight selected counties in Kenya. The research focused on how individual characteristics, technological, organizational, and behavioral factors impact the use of these tools in decision-making. The mixed methods approach included quantitative data from structured questionnaires and qualitative data from interviews. Out of the targeted 160 respondents, 149 participated, giving a response rate of 93%. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26 for quantitative analysis and thematic content analysis for qualitative data. The findings revealed that all four factors significantly influence decision-making. Individual characteristics had a positive correlation coefficient of 0.504, technological factors 0.784, organizational factors 0.776, and behavioral factors 0.404, all statistically significant. The study showed that 82.3% of the variance in data visualization tool utilization could be explained by these factors. The regression analysis demonstrated positive relationships between each factor and the use of data visualization tools. The study concluded that individual characteristics, such as training, significantly influence decision-making and recommended further training for healthcare managers in advanced data analysis, epidemiology, data presentation, interpretation, data mining, modeling, GIS, monitoring, evaluation, data analytics, and predictive analysis.

Background and objectives: Studies report a more precarious oral health status, with a higher prevalence of periodontal disease, in hemodialysis patients. Also, oral inflammation foci, mainly periodontal disease, are related to systemic inflammation and malnutrition which have a negative impact on morbidity and mortality in these patients. The aim of this study is to observe the influence of dental on the general status of these patients. Material and Methods: The study is a series of cases and was conducted in two phases: data collection and treatment phase and monitoring phase. Dental treatment was performed on 13 patients, with ages between 43-69 years of age, diagnosed with moderate or severe periodontal disease. Oral status parameters (plaque and gingival bleeding index, pocket depth, attachment level, DMFT and CPITN index) and general parameters (C-reactive protein, albumin, hemoglobin, calcium phosphate product, calcium and phosphate levels, erythropoietic-stimulating agents) were registered and monitored. Conventional periodontal treatment, dental extractions, endodontic treatments were performed. Results: Oral assessment showed a statistically significant improvement of oral parameters, at both 1 month and 3 months post-treatment. Mean values for albumin, C-reactive protein, hemoglobin, calcium phosphate product and calcium levels had a slight improvement, but the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion: The oral status, characterized by the measured periodontal parameters, improved visibly and statistically significant after the dental treatment. The parameters of the general status did not change significantly following the intervention.

Elearning merupakan sarana yang sangat vital dalam pembelajaran saat ini. Untuk memberikan layanan yang optimal, server elearning membutuhkan sumber daya komputasi yang cukup besar ketika user mengakses secara bersamaan dalam jumlah besar. Namun, mahalnya sumber daya komputasi seperti CPU, memory dan disk penyimpanan membuat organisasi kesulitan dalam memenuhi kebutuhan pengguna yang besar. Penelitian sebelumnya membandingkan performa dua public cloud pada learning management system berbasis moodle. Hasilnya waktu backup dan restore akan meningkat sekitar 10 detik untuk setiap ukuran data tambahan sebesar 500 MB. Penelitian ini bertujuan menerapkan horizontal pod autoscaler dan redis cluster berbasis Kubernetes pada server elearning Moodle. Moodle digunakan untuk menjalankan elearning dan redis sebagai memori database yang dapat meningkatkan performa website. penerapan horizontal pod autoscaler dan redis cluster mampu meningkatkan performa website elearning moodle sebesar 4,3% dibandingkan dengan pendekatan monolitik. Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan kubernetes dan redis cluster mampu meningkatkan performa website elearning moodle. Penelitian ini juga menunjukkan bahwa pendekatan microservice mempunyai performa yang lebih baik dibandingkan dengan pendekatan monolitik.
