Authors: Attia Rania , Abubakar Abdinasir , Bresee Joseph , Mere Osama , Khan Wasiq Mehmood
Published: February 2023

Although there has been an effective seasonal influenza vaccine
available for more than 60 years, influenza continues to circulate and
cause illness. The Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) is very diverse in
health systems capacities, capabilities, and efficiencies, which affect
the performance of services, especially vaccinations, including seasonal
influenza vaccination. In this article, we have analyzed data from a
regional seasonal influenza survey conducted in 2022, Joint Reporting
Form (JRF), and verified their validity by the focal points. We also
compared our results with those of the regional seasonal influenza
survey conducted in 2016. This analysis provides a comprehensive
overview on country-specific influenza vaccination policies, vaccine
delivery, and coverage in EMR. Fourteen countries (64%) had reported
having a national seasonal influenza vaccine policy. About (44%)
countries recommended influenza vaccine for all SAGE recommended target
groups. Up to (69%) of countries reported that COVID-19 had an impact
on influenza vaccine supply in the country, with most of them (82%)
reporting increases in procurement and supply of influenza vaccine, with
the other countries reporting decreases in procurement due to COVID-19.
We suggest supporting countries to develop a roadmap for influenza
vaccine uptake and utilization, assessment of barriers and burden of
influenza, including measuring the economic burden to enhance vaccine
acceptance.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of
bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) on adolescents born extremely preterm
(<28 weeks of gestation). Methods: This multicenter
cross‐sectional study included adolescents who were born extremely
preterm between 2003 and 2007. Questionnaires regarding the history of
respiratory symptoms, asthma, quality of life (QOL), and physical growth
were sent to 423 participants by mail, and responses were received from
243 participants (response rate: 57.4%). The average age of the
respondents was 16.5 years. The participants were divided into the BPD
(n = 140) and non-BPD (n = 103) groups. Results: One of three
patients in both groups had been rehospitalized owing to respiratory
symptoms; however, the difference was not significant (odds ratio
[OR], 0.96; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.56–1.65).
Respiratory syncytial virus infection was the most common reason for
rehospitalization. The prevalence of adolescents with current wheeze
were 4.3% and 2.9% in the BPD and non-BPD groups, respectively;
however, the difference was not significant (OR, 1.49; 95% CI,
0.36–6.11). QOL scores were similar in both groups (71.9 vs. 71.0, p =
0.61). The z-scores for body weight and height were significantly
different (p = 0.01). Conclusion: Adolescents born extremely
prematurely with BPD were smaller physically than those without BPD. No
significant differences in rehospitalization, asthma, and QOL scores
were noted between the two groups. Further studies are needed to
determine the impact of BPD on adults.
A relapsed B-acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Patient with Low CD19 Density Achieved Remission with a Low Dose of Blinatumomab After Repeated CAR-T Cell Failure: a case report
Authors: Lu Cong , Zhou Fen , Danying Liao , Jine Zheng , Chengong Li , Zhongpei Huang , Yaohui Wu , Meiheng *
Published: February 2023

Patients were still at a high risk of relapse after achieving complete
remission by CAR-T therapy. The mechanisms underlying CD19+ relapse
still remain to be further clarified in B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia
(B-ALL). We reported a patient with B-ALL who relapsed at nine months
after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. After two times of
autologous anti-CD19 CAR-T infusion treatment, he recured with CD19 MRD
positive the third time. CD19 antigen density was assessed for
recurrence after a second CAR- T infusion and was found to be
decreasing. The patient obtained MRD-negative (sCR4) on day 7 of
treatment with the initial dose of Blinatumomab and remained negative
throughout the four courses of maintenance treatment. Our case
demonstrates that patients with CD19 + relapsed MRD treated with
CD19-targeted CAR-T are still effective with low-dose Blinatumomab. The
secondary infusion of CAR-T with 4-1BB domain may reduce the density of
CD19 target antigen on the surface of tumor cells, resulting in the
short maintenance of PFS. Treatment with Blinatumomab may not depend on
CD19 target antigen density. Blinatumomab as a Bispecific T engager may
act as an adaptor to improve T cell and CAR-T responses for patients
relapsed after CAR-T therapy, which explained one possible cause of
relapse after secondary CAR-T infusion and provided reference for
salvage treatment strategies after CAR-T relapse.

Published: February 2023

Background Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely used to
treat digestive system diseases. Previous studies have suggested
conflicting results between PPIs treatment and digestive tract cancers
(DTCs). We utilized the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS)
database to assess the effect of PPIs use on DTCs through data mining.
Method This study examined the association between six PPI
agents and DTCs by mining the FAERS database from January 2004 to
September 2021 by using Open Vigil 2.1. The reporting odds ratio (ROR)
with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) was used to detect statistically
significant associations between PPIs and DTCs. High Level Terms (HLTs)
and Preferred Terms (PTs) were defined by the Medical Dictionary for
Regulatory Activities 24.0 (MedDRA24.0). Result A total of 2553
DTCs adverse event reports were screened, with positive signals obtained
from gastric neoplasms malignant (GNM) (ROR: 1.09, 95% CI: 1.01-1.18)
and bile duct neoplasms malignant (BDNM) (ROR: 1.80, 95% CI:
1.44-2.25). Esomeprazole showed the strongest signal (ROR: 1.85, 95%
CI: 1.66-2.06) for GNM, while rabeprazole for BDNM (ROR: 2.94, 95% CI:
1.32-6.56), and female PPI users had a higher risk of BDNM (ROR: 2.44,
95% CI: 1.77-3.35). Among Subordinate PTs, adenocarcinoma gastric, and
the combination of “bile duct cancer” and “cholangiocarcinoma” were
highly associated with PPIs use. Conclusion By mining the FAERS
database, we provided important clues for the association between PPIs
use and DTCs risk.

Published: February 2023

1. The structure, composition, and shape of teeth have been related to
dietary specialization in many vertebrate species, except snakes. Yet,
snakes have diverse dietary habits that may impact the shape of their
teeth. We hypothesize that prey properties, such as hardness and shape,
as well as feeding behavior, such as aquatic or arboreal predation, or
holding vigorous prey, impose constraints on the evolution of tooth
shape in snakes. 2. We compared the morphology of the dentary teeth of
63 species that cover the phylogenetic and dietary diversity of snakes,
using 3D geometric morphometrics and linear measurements. 3. Our results
show that prey hardness, foraging substrate and the main mechanical
challenge are important drivers of tooth shape, size, and curvature. 4.
Overall, long, slender, curved teeth with a thin layer of hard tissue
are observed in species that need to maintain a grip on their prey.
Short, stout, less curved teeth are associated with species that undergo
high or repeated loads. 5. Our study demonstrates the diversity of tooth
morphology in snakes and the need to investigate its underlying
functional implications to better understand the evolution of teeth in
vertebrates.
Vultures in the southeastern United States ingest more plastic in landscapes with more developed landcover
Authors: Partridge Hannah , Barnett Sophie , Amodeo Joseph , Snyder Jacob , Gagne Sara A.
Published: February 2023

Plastics are found in ecosystems worldwide and can have widespread
impacts on organisms and the environment. Cathartid vultures, including
the black vulture (Coragyps atratus) and the turkey vulture (Cathartes
aura), have adapted to urbanized environments, making frequent use of
human-made structures and anthropogenic resources. Thus, urban vultures
are likely exposed to more plastic materials than rural vultures, which
they intentionally or unintentionally ingest when foraging or loafing.
Our objective was to determine the extent and type of plastic ingested
by black and turkey vultures in an urban environment by (1) measuring
the plastic content of regurgitated pellets collected along an
urban-to-rural gradient, and (2) identifying the plastics within
pellets. We dissected 1,087 pellets collected at eight vulture
congregation sites in the Charlotte Metropolitan Area, USA between
January 2021 and July 2022. Sixty percent of pellets contained plastic
materials, with an average plastic composition by weight of 2.66 ±
8.76%. Repeated measures linear mixed models of the proportion of
pellets that were plastic suggested that black and turkey vultures are
ingesting more plastic materials when congregation sites are surrounded
by more developed landcover and a greater density of commercial food
providers, such as food stores and restaurants, within 20km. Fourier
transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy of a subset of pellets indicated
that the most common types of plastic ingested by vultures were silicone
rubber (used in tires and automobile/boat seals) and polyethylene (used
in plastic bags and food packages). Future research should investigate
the relative importance of plastic sources in vulture diets, vulture
behavioral changes associated with plastic ingestion, and the
consequences of plastic pollution on species health and urban ecosystem
functioning.

Stability Enhancement of Bi-Directional Voltage Source Converters in Modern Power Systems
Authors: Ghasemi MohamadAmin , Zarei Seyed Fariborz , (GE) Saeed Peyghami
Published: February 2023

In future modern power systems, reliability and resilience could be an
extreme challenge caused by the stability issues of the bidirectional
power converters (BPCs). The non-linear dynamics of DC link voltage
(DCLV) of BPCs in interaction with the existing linear control schemes
may decrease the stability margin and cause operating-point-dependent
instability issues. Existing approaches may solve this issue by reducing
the DCLV control loop bandwidth, which considerably degrades the system
performance. To tackle this issue, first, the root cause of the
instability challenge is analytically investigated, and then, a
non-linear stabilizer control scheme based on Lyapunov theorem is
proposed. Considering the non-linear dynamic of the BPCs and the
interaction between dynamics of DC link voltage and AC currents in the
proposed stabilizer, it guarantees the stability of the converter in
both directions of power flow and the full range of loading conditions.
The performance of the proposed scheme is verified through simulation of
the system under various operating conditions, considering
uncertainties, disturbances, and short-circuit events, and comparing it
with that of prevalent controllers.

Published: February 2023

Objective: In a population of patients undergoing cardiac surgery for
rheumatic mitral valve disease, evaluate the impact of preoperative PH
on early surgical mortality.

Methods: This is a prospective cohort carried out from January 1, 2017
to December 30, 2020. All patients over 18 years of age who underwent
cardiac surgery to correct rheumatic mitral valve disease with
functional tricuspid regurgitation in an echocardiogram performed up to
6 months before surgery were included. Systolic pulmonary artery
pressure (sPAP) value was also defined by preoperative echocardiogram
evaluation. The primary outcome was surgical mortality.

Results: 144 patients were included. The mean age was 46.2 (±12.3) years
with 107 (74.3%) female individuals, the median left ventricular
ejection fraction was 61.0% (55 - 67) and sPAP was 55.0 mmHg (46 - 74),
with 45 (31.3%) individuals with right ventricular dysfunction. The
predominant valve disease was mitral stenosis (74.3%). The prevalence
of severe tricuspid regurgitation was 47.2%. The total in-hospital
mortality was 15 (10.4%) individuals. sPAP was independently associated
with early surgical death RR 1.04 (1.01 – 1.07), p = 0.003. To
determine a sPAP cut-off that indicates higher mortality and help
decision making in clinical practice, we performed an analysis through
the ROC curve (area 0.70, p=0.012). The estimated value of 73.5mmHg has
the highest accuracy in our model for predicting early mortality.

Conclusion: In patients with rheumatic heart disease who will undergo
mitral valve surgery, pulmonary hypertension is associated with higher
early mortality. Values above 73.5 mmHg predict higher risk and, in this
part of the population, additional measures to control intraoperative
and immediate postoperative pulmonary hypertension should be considered.
Boron isotope fractionation in combusted plants during wildfires
Authors: Lu Shawn , Dosseto Anthony , Lemarchand Damien , Thomas Zoe , Walton Angus
Published: February 2023

In light of climate change, wildfires are concurrently becoming more
frequent and devastating worldwide. Though we have a good understanding
of fire frequency changes in the past using charcoal analysis, records
of the characteristics of these fires, such as fire severity, are
lacking. This limits our ability to model how fire severity responds to
climate change. Boron isotopes in clay minerals show promise as a novel
fire severity proxy, where increased 𝛿B is
correlated with higher fire severity. Through reacting boron leached
from experimentally combusted plants with clays, we determine that the
observed correlation with fire severity is likely caused by input of
isotopically heavier boron from combusted leaves. In contrast, combusted
barks lower the 𝛿B of clays upon reaction. Despite
the different results, in both experiments with barks and leaves,
similar boron isotope fractionation is observed during boron adsorption
onto clays, where the lighter B is preferentially
adsorbed. Therefore, the different results are likely caused by the
different boron isotope composition of leaves and barks, where leaves
have a much higher 𝛿B (~30 ‰) than
bark (~9 ‰). Combustion temperature can also affect the
𝛿B of clays: changes to the 𝛿B
of clays were observed only when reacting with bark combusted at
>300 °C, or with leaves combusted at >550 °C.
This could be because more boron can be leached into solution from
materials combusted at higher temperatures, which in turn results in
greater adsorption onto clays during reactions. Clays have higher
𝛿B in soils affected by high severity fires that
consume tree crowns, because these fires combust more leaves that then
deposit their isotopically heavier boron content into the soil. This
relationship could help complete our fire record and improve our ability
to predict future fire characteristics.

triangular operator matrices having arbitrary dimension n ? 2. We present
various characterization results in the setting of infinite dimensional
Hilbert spaces, thus extending some known results from Cao X. et al. (Acta

304 (2005), no. 2, 759-771) and Zhang et al. (J. Math. Anal. Appl. 392
(2012), no. 2, 103-110) to the case of arbitrary dimension n ? 2. We pose
our results without using separability assumption, thus improving
perturbation results fromWu X. et al. (Ann. Funct. Anal. 11 (2020), no. 3,

An abstract and generalized formulation of a theorem by Pelc and Prikry on invariant extension of Borel measure
Authors: Basu Sanjib , Sen Debasish
Published: February 2023

There are certain countably generated ?-algebras of sets in the real line
which do not admit any non-zero, ?-finite, diffused (or, continuous)
measure. Such countably generated ?-algebras can be obtained by the use of
some special types of infinite matrix known as the Banach-Kuratowski matrix
and the same may be used in deriving a generalized version of Pelc and
Prikry?s theoremas shown by Kharazishvili. Here, in this paper, we develop
an abstract and generalized formulation of Pelc and Prikry?s theorem in
spaces with transformation groups, where instead of using measure type
functionals as done by Kharazishvili, we utilize a newly introduced concept
which is that of an admissible, diffused k-additive algebra where k is an
arbitrary infinite cardinal.
The generalized Flanders’ theorem in unit-regular rings
Authors: Liu Dayong , Fang Aixiang
Published: February 2023

Let R be a unit-regular ring, and let a, b, c ? R satisfy aba = aca. If ac or
ba is Drazin invertible, we prove that their Drazin inverses are similar.
Furthermore, if ac and ba are group invertible, then ac is similar to ba.
For any n?n complex matrices A, B,C with ABA = ACA, we prove that AC and BA
are similar if and only if their k-powers have the same rank. These
generalize the known Flanders? theorem proved by Hartwig.
Spatial Dynamics of Land Cover Change in Ternate Tengah District, Ternate City, Indonesia
Authors: Rakuasa Heinrich , Pakniany Yamres
Published: February 2023

The phenomenon of urban growth has become an important issue that affects the land use system and land cover in a region for several reasons, such as population growth and the economy. This phenomenon has also become one of the main environmental issues lately because it has devastated urban ecosystems. Ternate Tengah District has the highest population growth rate in Ternate City and has experienced extensive urban development due to several reasons, such as the pace of urbanization, economic growth, and population. Urbanization accelerates the demand to land for living. As a result, there will be gaps or disparities between land needs and available land, a decline in environmental carrying capacity, and potential environmental harm in the future. Spatial modeling of future land covers is needed to provide data on policy-making. GIS and remote sensing methods have been widely introduced, but the most effective one is CA-Markov. This model has been used in various areas worldwide, but its application to predicting land use change in the populous city of a small island under threat of volcanic hazards like Ternate is limited. This study aims to evaluate and forecast the land-use changes brought on by urbanization in Ternate City's Central Ternate District. We used a cellular automata-Markov chain to examine and forecast land cover changes in 2002, 2012, 2022, and 2032. The findings indicate that residential area development will increase along with population expansion and land demand. The results of this study can support the policy-making related to the future arrangement and utilization of space in The Central Ternate District.

Tutkimusaineisto kerättiin Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire -kyselyn (MSLQ; Pintrich, Smith & Garcia, 1993) avulla. Tutkimuksen mukaan opiskelijoiden itsesäätelytaidot eri oppimisstrategioiden käytössä olivat hyvällä tasolla, mikä ilmeni erityisesti ponnisteluiden säätelyssä ja avun hakemisessa. Opiskelijat, joilla oli hyvät oppimisen itsesäätelyn taidot, raportoivat myös korkeampaa kognitiivista kiinnittymistä käsityöopintoihin. Opintojaksolla suoriutumisella ja oppimisen itsesäätelytaidoilla oli yhteys myös opettajaopiskelijoiden käsityöharrastuneisuuden kanssa.  
 
Self-regulation skills and study engagement among teacher education students in craft studies
Abstract
Self-regulation skills have been found to be associated with success in academic studies. This quantitative research on self-regulation skills was carried out within a handicraft course for teacher education students (N = 156) at the University of Oulu in the early stages of craft studies. Research data was collected with the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ; Pintrich, Smith & Garcia, 1993). According to this research, students' self-regulatory skills in using different learning strategies were good, which was particularly evident in regulating their own efforts and help seeking. At the same time, good self-regulation learning strategies skills was related to students' higher cognitive engagement in craft studies. Teacher students' craft hobbies were also related to course performance and self-regulation skills in the course.

Authors: Nupponen Anne-Maria , Björn Päivi , Sormunen Kari
Published: February 2023

Tarkastelemme tutkimuksessamme rakennetun ympäristön lukutaitoa osana turvallisuuskasvatusta, ja erityinen huomiomme on turvallisuusopasteissa. Aineistonamme ovat kuvatietokirjaluonnokset, joihin luokanopettajaopiskelijat valokuvasivat turvallisuusopasteita kirjastossa ja sen lähiympäristössä ja kirjoittivat kuvatekstit. Kuvatietokirjaluonnokset tuli kohdistaa perusopetuksen 5.–6.-luokkalaisille. Analysoimme kirjoissa esillä olevaa rakennetun ympäristön lukutaitoa: kirjoissa tuli esiin monipuolinen kuva lukutaidosta, johon oppilaita tulee turvallisuuskasvatuksessa ohjata. Turvallisuusopasteissa oli vaihtelua muodossa (esim. kilvet, teippaukset ja esineet), aiheessa (esim. paloturvallisuus ja hätäpoistuminen) ja informaatiossa (esim. ohjeet ja varoitukset). Tarkastelimme kuvatietokirjaluonnoksista myös tapaa, miten rakennetun ympäristön lukutaitoa välitettiin oppilaille. Tutkimme kuvatekstien puhetoimintoja, joita olivat esimerkiksi neuvot, kysymykset ja toteamukset; kuvatekstien variaatio toi esille monia oppilasta puhuttelevia ja turvallisuuskasvatusta edistäviä tapoja välittää rakennetun ympäristön lukutaitoa. Tutkimuksemme tukee osaltaan opettajankoulutuksen ja perusopetuksen turvallisuusosaamisen kehittämistä
 
Class teacher students´ non-fiction picture book drafts of safety guides. Built environment literacy as part of safety education
Abstract
This study discusses the literacy of a built environment as a part of safety education. Particular attention is paid to safety guides. Our data consists of the draft non-fiction picture books compiled by class teacher students. The task was to photograph safety guides in the library and its surroundings and write captions. The books had to be targeted at 5th-6th grade primary school pupils. We analyzed the literacy of a built environment displayed in the books: the books provided a diverse view of the literacy in which the pupils are being instructed in safety education. The safety guides varied in the topics (e.g., plates, tapes, and items), in the subjects (e.g., fire safety and emergency exit), and the information (e.g., instructions and warnings). In addition, we researched the way the literacy of a built environment was conveyed to pupils. We analyzed the speech actions in the captions. They were, among others, advice, questions, and statements; the variety of the captions brought out many influential and conducive ways to safety education to convey the literacy of a built environment. Our research supports the development of safety competence in teacher education and in basic education.

The identified problems mainly concern following areas: inappropriately chosen global translation strategy, neglecting intertextual valences, pragmatic (logical) error, incorrent translation of figures of speech, contamination between similar phraseological units, insufficient general political and social overview, incorrect inflection of foreign toponyms and proper nouns, literal translation, ignoring the specifics of dramatic texts, unrecognized traits of author’s idiolect.
Prefigované ekvivalenty francúzskych verb percepcie v slovenčine
Authors: Ráčková Lucia
Published: February 2023

The presented article deals with the translation of verbs of perception from French into Slovak in the novel Passing Timeby M. Butor. The focus, in particular, is on the numerous Slovak prefix equivalents of these French non-prefixed verbs. The main goal is the analysis of their meanings. We will observe how the prefix, in addition to changing the imperfect form into the perfect one, modifies the meaning of the basic verb of perception and thus fulfils its lexical-perfective function. We assume that most of the initial non-prefixed verbs in the French source language will be in the compound past tense - passé composé. The partial goal of the research is to find out which prefixes are ​​the most productive in terms of verbal word formation by prefixing. We have found out that in the majority of cases, the prefix not only fulfils a grammatical function, but also has a lexical function that significantly modifies the meaning of the basic non-prefixed verb. For example, it enriches the verb with the meanings of the beginning of the action.

Purpose: The main purpose of geography teaching in primary school is to give students a geographical identity, to introduce and make sense of the local and global environment. Qualifying questions and geographical inquiry skills play an essential role in achieving the goals as mentioned above of geography. The purpose of this research is to determine the level of primary school teachers' questioning skills for teaching place and way-finding gains in terms of Revised Bloom's Taxonomy. The revised Bloom Taxonomy consists of six categories: knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.

Design/Methodology/Approach: The research was carried out based on the document analysis pattern, one of the qualitative research methods, by following per the purpose of the study. The research was carried out with 32 primary school teachers working in public schools in different provinces of Turkey in the 2020-2021 academic year. To collect data in the research, the "Questioning Skill Form about Finding Place and Way-finding Gains" was used. A total of 426 questions prepared by the teachers were analyzed by descriptive analysis in terms of the cognitive process dimension of the Revised Bloom Taxonomy.

Findings: In line with the data obtained and the analyzes made, determined that the questions prepared by the teachers for the location acquisitions were at a low cognitive level. In addition, determined that the questions prepared by the teachers were mainly for the steps of understanding, remembering, and applying, respectively.

Highlights: Within the scope of the results obtained, suggestions are offered for primary school teachers' tendency to create more questions about high-level cognitive areas in the teaching of place and direction, which is a functional subject, and for further research.
An Explainable Machine Learning Approach to Predicting and Understanding Dropouts in MOOCs
Authors: ER Erkan
Published: February 2023

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to predict dropouts in two runs of the same MOOC using an explainable machine learning approach. With the explainable approach, we aim to enable the interpretation of the black-box predictive models from a pedagogical perspective and to produce actionable insights for related educational interventions. The similarity and the differences in feature importance between the predictive models were also examined.

Design/Methodology/Approach: This is a quantitative study performed on a large public dataset containing activity logs in a MOOC. In total, 21 features were generated and standardized before the analysis. Multi-layer perceptron neural network was used as the black-box machine learning algorithm to build the predictive models. The model performances were evaluated using the accuracy and AUC metrics. SHAP was used to obtain explainable results about the effects of different features on students’ success or failure.

Findings: According to the results, the predictive models were quite accurate, showing the capacity of the features generated in capturing student engagement. With the SHAP approach, reasons for dropouts for the whole class, as well as for specific students were identified. While mostly disengagement in assignments and course wares caused dropouts in both course runs, interaction with video (the main teaching component) showed a limited predictive power. In total six features were common strong predictors in both runs, and the remaining four features belonged to only one run. Moreover, using waterfall plots, the reasons for predictions pertaining to two randomly chosen students were explored. The results showed that dropouts might be explained by different predictions for each student, and the variables associated with dropouts might be different than the predictions conducted for the whole course.

Highlights: This study illustrated the use of an explainable machine learning approach called SHAP to interpret the underlying reasons for dropout predictions. Such explainable approaches offer a promising direction for creating timely class-wide interventions as well as for providing personalized support for tailored to specific students. Moreover, this study provides strong evidence that transferring predictive models between different contexts is less like to be successful.

Authors: Yunanada Muhammad Yogi , Kurniawati Desy
Published: February 2023

Copper is one of the dangerous heavy metals contained in industrial wastewater, whose presence needs to be addressed. Adsorption is one method that can be used to adsorb heavy metals. Using a langsat shell as an adsorbent is used to adsorb copper because it is easy to obtain and its use is still minimal in people. Using the column method, the langsat shell was made into activated carbon with HNO3 as an adsorber of Cu2+ metal ions. The activated carbon obtained was tested for quality according to Standard Nasional Indonesia (SNI) No.06-3730-1995. In this research, we determine the effect of adsorbent dosage on the adsorption of copper ions. The results showed the activated carbon meets established quality standards of SNI and the optimum adsorption value of Cu2+ metal ions at an adsorbent dosage of 0.4 grams.

This Regent's Regulation is a follow-up to efforts to integrate the use of information technology in government activities, particularly those related to development planning. The ongoing E-Planning application is still in the web presence stage because when viewed in its application the E-Planning website does not provide an interactive space for the public. The initiation process, provision of instruments, socialization, and preparations have been carried out, with limited network capacity so that in its implementation there are still some problems such as server errors that often occur, overcapacity access, causing operators waiting for login. Human resources who are proficient in programming are not accommodated properly. With all the problems faced, the government of West Nias Regency has been considered quite agile in solving problems and obstacles in the implementation of E-Planning. Aspects of Technology which is part of E-Learning, the response of the West Nias Regency Government is quite fast when an error occurs on the server. In terms of bureaucratic or technical aspects, the West Nias Regency Government will increase the capacity of the internet network at certain times so that it is hoped that there will be minimal obstacles when entering data. If there is an urgent problem but the Bappeda of West Nias Regency cannot handle it alone, then coordination is carried out with the Medan City Government to find a solution to the problem at hand. In the Human Resources Aspect, the West Nias Regency Government does not immediately release the operator independently but provides technical guidance as expected.
