SYNTHESIS, PROPERTIES AND PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS OF DOPED AND UNDOPED, ZINC-CONTAINING LAYERED DOUBLE HYDROXIDES – A BRIEF REVIEW
Authors: Balayeva O. O.
Published: September 2022

Recently, layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have been developed for more potential applications in various industry fields. Many synthesis methods of LDHs in the literature have been considered and classified by changing properties. However, the property change by the synthesis method does not happen in the same way in all LDHs. Also, when LDH with the same composition is synthesized by the same synthesis method, it is possible to obtain LDHs with the same composition but different properties due to the change of reaction parameters. Recently, the doping of semiconductor nanocomposites with different element atoms has led to new properties. The effect of the elements used in the doping process on the properties of zinc-containing LDHs was investigated and explained in the review article. The synthesis's techniques differ from each other by the reaction parameters and they impact the crystal structure, physicochemical properties, and morphology of LDHs. Finding more additional effects of doping processes and doping elements' nature on the zinc-containing LDHs' properties, the synthesis procedures, and the determination of reaction parameters are shown in this review article. It was revealed that rare earth elements are not selected as three valence metals for the main structure of LDHs, they are mainly used as a doping element which is replaced by three valence metals (Al, Cr, Ti, Fe(III)) as dopants because of the ionic radius and various factors.

Optimal Duration of Therapy in Metastatic RCC: Exploring Treatment-Free Survival with Checkpoint Inhibitors
Authors: Selig Grayce , Hoimes Christopher , Bible Joe , George Daniel , Harrison Michael
Published: September 2022

The optimal duration of treatment for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) on dual immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy remains unknown. However, there is evolving evidence that a portion of patients who achieve a complete or partial response will have a durable response, even after therapy discontinuation, leading to prolonged treatment-free survival (TFS). TFS with dual ICI is a phenomenon not seen with targeted agents and has the potential to improve patient reported outcomes and quality of life, without altering overall survival (OS). Despite this understanding, treatment of mRCC remains lifelong, as there has yet to be a prospective, randomized control trial to evaluate this key question. In this review, we analyze available studies in patients with mRCC on dual ICI therapy and propose considerations for early treatment discontinuation. Additionally, we discuss vital questions and the next steps to help physicians and patients navigate these challenging treatment decisions.

Authors: Rettally Carlos A , Roy Milantia
Published: September 2022

Introducción. Las biopsias duodenales son cruciales para el diagnóstico correcto de múltiples patologías. Por este motivo el patólogo debe contar con la cantidad y la calidad adecuadas de tejido. Aún no está claro cuál es la mejor manera de obtenerlo al realizar una endoscopía.
Objetivos. Este estudio busca comparar la calidad de las muestras duodenales obtenidas mediante dos protocolos de biopsia distintos.
Materiales y métodos. Cuatrocientos pacientes remitidos a una endoscopia alta con toma de biopsias duodenales por indicaciones varias fueron separados en dos grupos: «muestras múltiples» y «muestra individual». Se excluyeron a los pacientes sin indicación de biopsia duodenal.
Resultados. Cuando se tomaron muestras múltiples, el 87% fue adecuado para el análisis histopatológico y cuando se tomó una muestra, el 86,5% fue adecuado.
Conclusión. Nuestro estudio sugiere que tomar muestras múltiples (dos) o tomar sólo una ofrece material de calidad similar apto para un diagnóstico histopatológico.

Magwee / Manyue (满月): Sebuah Inkulturasi Ritual Kelahiran dalam Tradisi Umat Katolik Tionghoa
Authors: Gunawan Arief
Published: September 2022

This paper discusses the ritual of Magwee or Manyue, a celebration of the first month for babies in Chinese tradition. The purpose of this essay is to find the theological meaning behind the Chinese ritual and at the same time to work out a model of inculturation of the Christian faith. The paper uses a qualitative approach with interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). The author finds the possibility of inculturating faith and liturgical inculturation based on the Magwee ritual. The essence of the Magwee ritual as a celebration of gratitude for the newborn is maintained, but this ritual needs to be placed in the context of the liturgical celebration of the Catholic Church. In the context of inculturating faith, the Magwee ritual needs to be reflected in the light of the Bible. The Magwee Ritual is not just a traditional ritual but reaches its fullness in the spirit of Christ.
Nasihat Berlakulah Adil dalam Haustafeln Kolose 4:1
Authors: Kurniawan Albertus Lilik
Published: September 2022

This essay aims to make a biblical-theological analysis of Col. 4:1 in which Paul speaks about the responsibility of masters to treat their servants justly and fairly. This study uses a critical historical method while taking into account the sociological context of the biblical text (a sociological approach). Based on textual analysis, Col. 4:1 lies in a sequence of rules that govern the relationships between household members (Col 3:18-4:6), namely the relationship between husband and wife (3:18-19), parents and children (3:20-21), and the last is master and servant (3:22-4:1). Based on a sociological approach, this study finds that the Colossian Christian community had servants, and that’s why the treatment of servants became an unavoidable topic in good household management. The relationship between master and servant needs to be clarified from a Christian point of view. The instructions in Col. 4:1 are to say that the master is responsible for treating the servants justly and fairly, that is, doing what is right with his servant. Haustafeln also contains a Christological orientation because they aim to place the household under Christ, as all life must be subject to Christ.
Kievan Rus: A Tumultuous Journey Ended With War
Authors: PRADHAN Sanjay Kumar
Published: September 2022

Russia’s “Special Military Operation” against Ukraine on 24 February 2022 can be counted as the biggest ever war in Europe since World War II. The rationale of the operation, as Russian President Vladimir Putin asserts, is that Russia even could not stay safe, prosper and survive with a NATO-leaning Ukraine. Nevertheless, the present-day war is a culmination of several factors which have set the stage for a more bitter outcome between Russia and Ukraine soon. The paper attempts at analysing how the present-day Russia-Ukraine war is a culmination of conflicting claims and interests of the two countries-Russia and Ukraine, starting from Kievan Rus, and how the west dragged Moscow into a deadly war with Kyiv. In the entire gamut of analysis, Ukraine’s intertwined history and the Russian claims, NATO expansion, resurgent Russia, and oscillating Ukrainian domestic politics hinged on east-west leanings, all together have been taken into account to unfold the current crisis in a wider spectrum.

The role of dietary and physical activity assessment in the predictive ability of cardiovascular disease risk scores: A narrative review
Authors: Vafia Christina , Panagiotakos Demosthenes
Published: September 2022

Due to the increased burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) around the world, country specific risk prediction models (or scores) of future CVD events have been developed and recommended as screening tools for primary prevention, as well as treatment management. Most of these risk scores include basic demographic characteristics, like age and sex, smoking habits, as well as some clinical and biochemical factors, like blood pressure, cholesterol, and glucose levels. Dietary habits and physical activity status of individuals have consistently shown in many studies during the past years a strong, and independent association with CVD risk. However, their integration in CVD risk scores is rare, even though when used for the assessment of overall CVD risk, the models showed improved classification ability. In this review paper, and in the light of the recent SCORE 2 (2021) tool presented by the European Society of Cardiology, we discuss the benefits from the incorporation of dietary and physical activity assessment in the predictive ability of CVD risk prediction tools.

Published: September 2022

Introduction: High-protein diet, whereby 1.2 – 1.6g protein/kg of body weight is consumed per day, has been popularised as a weight-loss technique. While some people truly believe in its health benefits, some consume high-protein diets for other reasons. However, it is not yet proven whether consuming a high-protein diet improves your overall health. Thus this study is to discover if consuming a high-protein diet has any health benefits. We focus our study on the evidence of the impact of a high-protein diet on those who routinely exercise, either by weightlifting or cardio. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out among gym goers in Cyberjaya aged 18 years and above and have not been diagnosed with any underlying disease (N=46).

La peculiaridad de la Pitahaya Roja es que se puede cultivar en varios tipos de suelos ya sean francos arcillosos o francos arenosos y se destaca su manera de adaptación a los climas de 25 a 40oC. El cultivo de pitahaya en cuanto a producción y exportación es relativamente nuevo en el Ecuador, sin embargo, ha sido tan exitosa su producción en masa, que el Ecuador se sitúa como uno de los mayores exportadores sudamericanos, en conjunto con Argentina, Brasil y Colombia. Por lo cual, el objetivo general es determinar de qué manera la Producción de Pitahaya roja “hylocereus undatus” incide en el volumen de exportación en la zona sur de Manabí 2019-2021.La investigación tiene un enfoque metodológico mixto, en base a una investigación descriptiva y de campo no experimental. Como resultado, la pitahaya roja se ha convertido en uno de los productos tradicionales con mayor proyección en su crecimiento, debido al aumento de las exportaciones en los últimos años, donde países como Estados Unidos y parte de Asia han tenido un gran apoyo en la necesidad de estos productos; sin embargo, no se está abasteciendo la demanda del mercado internacional dejando el estado de percibir esas divisas por no controlar los procesos de producción e incentivar o capacitar al personal de las haciendas cultivadoras de la Pitahaya Roja. De la misma forma, la disminución de la producción se debe al cambio climático, lo cual afecta la cosecha de este noble producto.

Rama Maindland es una comunidad ubicada a 12.85 Kilómetros, al suroeste de la ciudad de Bluefields, donde se han construido edificaciones implementando adobes de suelo cemento comprimido, material poco común en la región. El objetivo principal de esta investigación fue evaluar la vulnerabilidad estructural de estas, que según nuestra hipótesis tienen poca resistencia a los embates de fenómenos hidrometeorológicos que golpean directamente a la zona. Se evaluó el sitio, se caracterizó físicamente a través de fichas, se realizaron levantamientos arquitectónicos en sus edificaciones y se sometió a ensayos de laboratorios unidades de bloques. Los resultados de la evaluación del histograma del lugar donde están las edificaciones, fue de 2.25 de vulnerabilidad a ciertos peligros, existiendo limitaciones ambientales que podrían perjudicar la salud de los habitantes. En el levantamiento físico se encontraron grietas en las edificaciones, pero estas no son tan graves. En cuanto a las pruebas de laboratorio que se les aplicaron a los bloques de adobe, estos obtuvieron un valor promedio en la resistencia de 54.67 kg/cm2 (779.50 PSI) en la resistencia a la compresión y un 13.22% en la prueba de absorción, ambos resultados no cumplen con los que establece la Norma Técnica Obligatoria Nicaragüense 12 008-16.

Authors: Baptista V. B. C. , Verissimo G. L.
Published: September 2022

Throughout the evolution of air conditioning, the fluids commonly used have also undergone through changes. Firstly, the concern was chosing a refrigerant that allows the proper operation of the equipment. In the last forty years, the focus became environmental problems caused by refrigerants when released into the atmosphere. The search for an eco-friendly refrigerant that can result in air conditioning applications with satisfactory thermodynamic efficiency is an actual and developing field. The present work performs a thermodynamic analysis of a residential air conditioning operating with alternative refrigerants with ODP free and low GWP (less than 3). Computational modeling is developed in Python, focused on the thermodynamic analysis of the condenser and evaporator of the selected equipment, allowing a comparison between some promising fluids. The methodology developed allows selecting the best fluid to be used either in retrofitting old equipment to a new refrigerant or in developing a completely new refrigeration system. The performance and cooling capacity of the system working with ammonia (R717), isobutane (R600a), propane (R290), R1234yf, R1234ze(E), R22 and R134a for different operation conditions are studied. The results indicate that ammonia presents the best performance among the selected refrigerants for the conditions assumed here, although not suitable for residential applications due to its toxicity. Moreover, R290 and R1234yf showed to be thermodynamically suitable refrigerants to domestic air conditioning equipment.
