Experimental Study of Plastic Bricks Made from Waste Plastics
Authors: Bhoia Shraddha Suman , Mangaraj Abhijit
Published: September 2024

This study describes the use of municipal plastic waste (MPW) in the construction industry. Plastic is a nonbiodegradable material that takes thousands of years to decompose and causes soil and water pollution. The amount of plastic waste in municipal solid waste (MSW) is increasing rapidly. Usage is estimated to double every decade. Plastic consumption is high and one of the largest plastic wastes is polyethylene (PE). The use of earth-derived clay materials has caused resource depletion and one of these efforts is the efficient use of plastic waste and laterite quarry waste, along with small amounts of asphalt, to meet the growing demand for traditional building materials, which are less absorbent than laterite bricks. The challenge is to develop alternative building materials, such as brick, that have little but sufficient strength. The use of MPW as a building material, especially in brick production, is one of the promising steps towards sustainable resource and waste management. Plastic waste can partially or completely replace one or more raw materials in brick production. Further research based on recent research and a better understanding of the use of waste plastics in bricks is needed to produce high-quality and durable bricks and to achieve an optimal balance in all aspects, especially in terms of cost and functionality.

Dentin hypersensitivity is characterized by an exacerbated response to thermal, chemical, osmotic and tactile sensory stimuli in the area where the dentin is exposed, causing acute and short-lasting painful symptoms. This study aimed to report a clinical case of control of dentin hypersensitivity using desensitizers. A qualitative study with observational/descriptive objectives, carried out in the municipality of Mato Verde-MG at Faculdade Verde Norte (FAVENORTE).The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee, with opinion no. 6,985,721. A 22-year-old female patient attended dental care at the FAVENORTE Dental Clinic, complaining of intense sensitivity in several teeth. A medical and dental history was collected during anamnesis, as well as information regarding routine and lifestyle. On clinical examination, gingival recession and root exposure were found in elements 14, 15, 16, 24, 25, 34, 35, 44, 45, without loss of tooth structure. In the occlusal assessment, no changes were observed. The patient reports brushing teeth more than four times a day and using excessive force when brushing. After evaluation, it was concluded that the main etiological factor of the injuries was caused by a mechanical factor. For treatment, a desensitizer based on potassium nitrate (neural action) with sodium fluoride (obliterating action), Desensibilize KF 2%, was used. In the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity in the case described, the use of desensitizer, oral hygiene instructions, associated with maintenance with the use of dentifrice, proved to be a satisfactory procedure, since at the end of the treatment, the degree of discomfort related to the hypersensitivity condition dentin previously reported by the patient, ceased to exist. Therefore, the use of desensitizing agents is a low-cost procedure with excellent results.

Dental agenesis or also known as hypodontia, is established as a numerical anomaly that implies a lack of tooth development. The most frequently encountered agenesis, with the exception of third molars, is the upper lateral incisors. The objective of this study was to report a clinical case of agenesis of upper lateral incisors in a patient from the city of Mato Verde-MG. This is a qualitative study with observational/descriptive objectives. The research will be carried out in the municipality of Mato Verde-MG at Faculdade Verde Norte (FAVENORTE). Female patient, Caucasian, ten years old, attended the FAVENORTE clinic, together with her guardian, with the main complaint being: “Assessing the formation of permanent teeth, as she had already been diagnosed with agenesis of the deciduous upper lateral incisors”. On clinical examination it was observed that there was a lack of permanent upper lateral incisors. The radiographic examination confirmed the absence of the germs of the permanent upper lateral incisors, thus confirming the agenesis of these dental elements. Therefore, the patient was referred to the orthodontist, who prepared an individualized treatment plan for the patient. Early diagnosis is extremely important in cases of tooth agenesis, where professionals must pay attention to its characteristics, targeting treatment options for each case, thus obtaining a favorable prognosis and a better quality of life for the patient.

Published: September 2024

Central Sulawesi's 2018 earthquake, liquefaction, and tsunami caused liquefaction in Palu City's Balaroa and Petobo neighbourhoods. Land surface changes affected agricultural land area and soil fertility, which can affect farmers' income. Soil fertility indicates its nutrient-providing capacity. This study aims to assess agricultural land fertility, farmer income, and the best ways to recover from natural disasters. This descriptive study included all Petobo farmers affected by the earthquake and liquefaction. Purposive sampling tested 25 respondents. The field survey collected soil samples at coordinate points. Twelve soil samples were taken from six points at 20 cm and 40 cm depths. The samples were analysed at Tadulako University's Environmental and Natural Resources Analysis Laboratory. The results showed that Petobo Village's liquefaction-affected and unaffected areas had low fertility due to low C-organic and Potassium content, which prevented plants from using soil nutrients. Low soil fertility reduces crop production. Farmers earn an average of Rp. 1,422,857 per hectare, up to Rp. 4,633,929 per season per hectare. To increase soil fertility, farmers can use compost, manure, crop residues like legume plant stover, rice straw, and chemical fertilisers according to dosage.

Published: September 2024

The study aims to explore how language elements of specialised and political communication are represented in parliamentary discourse. Within the ParlaMint corpus, we examine Hungarian parliamentary speeches between 2020 and 2022 on the ‘KATA’ (specific tax of small taxpayer businesses). The specialised terms, terms used in standard language, sentiment and attitude values are analysed. Results show that there is a significant difference in term use and the sentence sentiments between the different discourse participants (policy actors, opposition, governing party). There are only a few emotionless speeches, and no large differences in the proportion of terms and emotions are observed. The results can be relevant for studies on populist communication, the relationship between technocracy and democracy, and the methodological aspects of computer-assisted discourse analysis. The paper also outlines future orientations for research, including extended thematic analysis and investigation of contextual shifts in the actual meaning of terms within political discourse.

OBJECTIVE

This study investigates the efficacy and feasibility of electrical stimulation (E-Stim) on sensory fibers of the plantar region during hemodialysis sessions, aiming to improve mobility in patients with diabetes by providing a connection between E-Stim and enhanced mobility with minimal patient effort required.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Participants aged ≥18 years with diabetes undergoing hemodialysis and able to walk at least 10 m with or without aid were recruited and divided into an intervention group receiving 1-h intradialytic E-Stim three times a week and a control group using an identical nonfunctional device for 12 weeks. Gait, physical activity, patient-reported outcomes, and the technology acceptance model were assessed to evaluate the intervention’s effectiveness and acceptance.

RESULTS

Out of 117 initial participants, 97 completed the study. Significant improvements were observed in the intervention group compared with the control group in gait performance (stride time at dual-task and fast walking), physical activity (stand to walk and sit to stand), quality of life, plantar numbness, and cognitive function after 12 weeks. The intervention group showed that magnitudes of improvement on gait performance and physical activity metrics were associated with enhancements in quality of life and cognitive function, respectively. The intervention group also reported higher usefulness and usage satisfaction, with a greater willingness to continue using E-Stim at home.

CONCLUSIONS

The 12-week intradialytic E-Stim intervention is a feasible and effective method to enhance gait performance, physical activity level, cognitive function, and other patient-reported outcomes in patients undergoing hemodialysis, representing a practical, low-risk therapy option for those unable to engage in traditional exercise programs.

Published: September 2024

Nowadays, AISI 304 stainless steel plays a crucial role in industry. However, stainless steel exhibits limited wear resistance as it is used in parts with relative motion. Laser treatment emerges as a promising approach to improve its superficial properties. Using a laser as a heat source presents unique properties for heating surfaces, as the first atomic layers of the material absorb the radiation from the laser beam. In this study, we used a low-cost 100 W CO2 laser with carbon black powder to treat the surface of AISI 304 steels. In addition, the reflectance of irradiation on steel is 90%. We used carbon black powder as a photo-absorbing material for radiation to overcome this obstacle. The characterization included field emission gun–scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive x ray, microhardness, and pin-on reciprocation tribometer. The results showed a significant increase in surface hardness after laser treatment compared to the untreated substrate at a magnitude of 3.8 times. Elemental mapping analysis revealed carbon's presence on the substrate's surface. In addition to increasing surface hardness, we observed a decrease in the friction coefficient of the laser-treated samples compared to the reference substrate. Finally, it could be concluded that carbon black powder had a triple function; it acted as a photo-absorbent material, a carbon source to increase surface hardness, and a solid lubricant. These results show the predictions of using a low-cost CO2 laser with carbon black powder as an efficient, versatile, and fast alternative.

Spodoptera frugiperda J.E. Smith (Spodoptera: Noctuidae) is an invasive pests of maize that has been reported around the world. Control efforts using biological agents continue to be developed, including the use of entomopathogen bacteria such as Bacillus thuringiensis. To boost the efficacy and efficiency of biological control, formulations are required. The objective of this study was to develop biopesticide formulations and evaluate their efficacy. The research was carried out by formulating B. thuringiensis strain BtJ2 (1010 cfu mL -1) in liquid and paste formulations. The effectiveness of the formulations was evaluated using the feed dipping method. The results showed that paste formulations at a concentration of 10% caused 100% mortality, whereas the liquid formulation resulted in 85% mortality. The LC90 for the paste formulation was 6.66%, while the LC90 for the liquid formulation was 12.90%. Both the liquid and paste formulations had similar effects on mortality and viability. Based on the LC90 and LT90, the paste formulation was more efficient and faster in killing S. frugiperda than the liquid formulation. The results of this study provide recommendations that B. thuringiensis as a bioinsecticide is better formulated in a paste than in a liquid form.

Published: September 2024

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) is a promising technology for controlling viral diseases, including pepper yellow leaf curl disease (PYLCD) of chili pepper caused by Begomovirus infection. The objectives of this research were to investigate the effectiveness of PGPR containing Pseudomonas fluorescens PF1 and Bacillus polymyxa BG25, as well as their combination with other protective agents, to control PYLCD under field conditions in an endemic region. The treatments consisted of a single application of PGPR (a mixture of P. fluorescens PF1 and B. polymyxa BG25), guano tea, endophytic fungus H5, and neem oil; combination of PGPR with guano tea, endophytic fungus H5, and neem oil; conventional pesticide that relies on synthetic chemical insecticide sprayed weekly; and untreated plots. The experiment was arranged in a randomized block design with four replications. Treatment with PGPR alone was able to delay disease onset by 2.25 weeks, but it caused only a slight reduction in disease incidence. The combination of PGPR + guano tea and PGPR + endophyte H5 provided the best results in controlling PYLCD. The combination of PGPR + guano tea and PGPR + endophyte H5 delayed disease onset by 2.75 weeks and 3.25 weeks, respectively, and reduced disease incidence with effectiveness rates of 52.72% and 52.08%, respectively. These two treatment combinations gave the best performance for plant growth and yield.

This article explains the politics of familism in Indonesia, especially in the regions and tries to answer the question of how familism is formed and what its implications are for village development. The method used is qualitative-descriptive which is analyzed using familism theory. This article concludes that although kinship relations are quite strong in the village government structure, their impact on village development is not good, as evidenced by slow services and unrealized development as well as the existence of village officials who abuse their position in serving the community to take action. take care of administration such as personal data. and implementing a system that is in accordance with village apparatus regulations, not an appropriate system, especially regarding the use of village funds. The point is that kinship politics is not positive and in any case will always give rise to prolonged polemics and hinder other communities that have potential.

Social wasps of the genus Polybia Lepeletier, 1836, have a generalist feeding habit and are predators of a wide variety of other insects, however there are no reports of the feeding of hemipterans and odonates by Polybia fastidiosuscula Saussure, 1864 and Polybia platycephala Richards, 1951, respectively. Therefore, this study aims to record the predation of a Dictyopharidae individual by P. fastidiosuscula and the feeding of a Coenagrionidae individual by P. platycephala. Both records occurred occasionally in Southeast Brazil and contribute to the knowledge about the diet of these vespids.

Authors: Sales de Quadros Tamires , Correia Brandão Gonçalves Eliana
Published: September 2024

O presente artigo descreve e analisa características discursivas e textuais relativas às marcas de polidez encontradas em atos de fala performativos de Cartas referentes às Vilas de Cairu e de Camamu datadas dos séculos XVIII com base em edições semidiplomáticas. O estudo articula-se com a perspectiva de investigação das Tradições Discursivas (Coseriu 1967, 1978; Kabatek, 2001, 2010, 2011, 2012; Koch, 1997, 2021), da Teoria dos Atos de Fala (Lopes, 2011; Austin, 1990; Searle, 2002, Arbo, 2018) e das pesquisas sobre Polidez Linguística (Brown e Levinson, 1987; Siqueira, 2013; Munhoz, 2015; Cunha e Oliveira, 2020), que propõem conjuntamente uma abordagem metodológica centrada na observação de regularidades linguísticas presentes nos textos e nos processos pragmáticosque as constituem, classificando verbos, tempos, construções verbais e seleções lexicais, que serão classificados como atos de fala performativos, enquanto fórmulas de polidez utilizadas para alcançar objetivos comunicativos. Foram selecionadas e analisadas 33 Cartas do Arquivo Histórico Ultramarino de Lisboa (AHU), que registram 38 exemplos de atos performativos. A partir da análise linguística, confirma-se que a escolha dos usos linguísticos manifesta o exercício e as negociações de poder por meio da língua, registrando, em atos de fala, as intenções comunicativas dos interlocutores, que se perpetuam no tempo como tradições discursivas.
Alistamista ja yhteistyötä: Miten Suomen ortodoksinen kirkko käyttää sanan valtaa kolttasaamelaisiin
Authors: Laitila Teuvo
Published: September 2024

Artikkelissa tarkastellaan Suomen ortodoksisen kirkon tapoja puhua kolttasaamelaisista ja käyttää puheessaan sanojen valtaa. Lähteinä ovat jumalanpalvelustekstit ja kirkon edustajien avoimesti saatavissa olevat aihetta koskevat julkaisut sekä kaksi näyttelyluetteloa. Lähestymistapa on jälkikoloniaalinen eli tekstejä luetaan vallankäytön muotoina, mutta vallankäyttöä ei oleteta yksipuoliseksi: kirkko ei pyri automaattisesti alistamaan eivätkä kolttasaamelaiset ole vain vallankäytön objekteja, vaan heillä on mahdollisuus vaikuttaa siihen. Lähteistä nousi esille kolme toisiinsa liittyvää vallankäytön muotoa: (1) jumalanpalvelustekstien ”ajaton” ja muuttumaton vallankäyttö, jossa kirkko on kolttasaamelaisten (v)alistaja; (2) historiankirjoituksen muuttuva vallankäyttö, jossa kolttasaamelaisten kuvaus muuttuu osana kirkon yleistä oman identiteetin tulkitsemista suhteessa ei-ortodoksiseen valtakulttuuriin; ja (3) ”yhteistyö”, jossa kirkolle ja kolttasaamelaisille etsitään yhteisiä tavoitteita suhteessa ei-ortodoksiseen valtakulttuuriin, kuten vähemmistökielen turvaaminen. Johtopäätös on, että suomalaisena vähemmistönä kirkko käyttää sanallista valtaa omaan vähemmistöönsä sekä dogmaattisesti (jumalanpalvelustekstit) että pragmaattisesti (historiankirjoitus), mutta pyrkii samalla vahvistamaan ortodoksisuutta suhteessa ei-ortodoksiseen valtakulttuuriin ja luomaan yhtenäistä ortodoksista kirkkoa (omakielisyyden tukeminen).

Kampar Regency, as the largest pineapple producer in Riau Province, has yet to provide significant added value for the surrounding SMEs. The limitations in technology and innovation, infrastructure support, and market access have prevented this potential from being optimally utilized. A Technopark can provide the necessary facilities and infrastructure to enhance production efficiency, innovation, and product quality, thus driving local economic growth. The objective of this study is to identify and determine potential locations for the development of a pineapple-based Technopark in Kampar Regency. This study is crucial as a fundamental consideration in selecting the technopark location and assessing the effectiveness and success of the technopark area. The method used in this study is AHP-GIS to analyze relevant parameters in the site selection process for the technopark area. Parameters considered in this study include slope, land use, availability of raw materials, accessibility of roads, access to water resources, proximity to universities, market access, population density, and landfill. The analysis results indicate that the percentage of land highly suitable for the technopark location is 0.78%, covering an area of 8943 hectares. Based on the analysis, it is recommended that potential locations for the development of a pineapple SMEs-based technopark in Kampar Regency are dispersed in Tambang District, encompassing three villages: Rimbo Panjang, Kualu Nenas and Tarai Bangun. The findings of this study align with the spatial planning of Kampar Regency.
Influence of the radiofrequency applicators arrangement on the sizes of ablative zones inside hepatic tumor
Authors: Gas Piotr , Miaskowski Arkadiusz
Published: September 2024

Radiofrequency (RF) ablation is a popular therapeutic technique for heating solid tumors that are medically unsuitable for resection or other treatments. Thermal ablation applicators create high-frequency electromagnetic fields (EMFs) within the tumor site, which causes heating, coagulation, and ultimately death of the cancer cells. The aim of this study is the numerical analysis of the temperature distributions, ablation zones, and specific absorption rates (SAR) during RF ablation in relation to an ellipsoidal shaped tumor placed in the model of liver tissue. The source of heat is a three-element system of RF needle applicators operating at a frequency 100 kHz, with a given electrode potential, inserted into the tumor. In order to obtain an appropriate temperature distribution in the target area, the Laplace equation coupled with the Pennes equation were solved using the finite element method (FEM). The arrangement effect of three needle-type applicators on the resultant thermal profiles and the volumes of ablation zones were analyzed and compared. In addition, the ablation zones for various angles of the RF applicator placed in the center of the tumor were analyzed. The paper shows that in order to control temperature distribution and ablation zones the proposed system of RF applicators and the arrangement of electrodes can be successfully applied in hepatocellular carcinoma treatment.
