The Chemical Recycling of PLA: A Review
Authors: McKeown Paul , Jones Matthew D.
Published: May 2020

Plastics are an indispensable material with numerous benefits and advantages compared to traditional materials, such as glass and paper. However, their widespread use has caused significant environmental pollution and most plastics are currently nonrenewable. Biobased polymers represent an important step for tackling these issues, however, the end-of-life disposal of such materials needs to be critically considered to allow for a transition to a circular economy for plastics. Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is an important example of a biobased polymer, which is also biodegradable. However, industrial composting of PLA affords water and carbon dioxide only and in the natural environment, PLA has a slow biodegradation rate. Therefore, recycling processes are important for PLA, particularly chemical recycling, which affords monomers and useful platform chemicals, maintaining the usefulness and value of the material. This review covers the different methods of PLA chemical recycling, highlighting recent trends and advances in the area.
Capacity of Two Ornamental Species (Iris sibirica and Zantedeschia aethiopica) to Take up, Translocate, and Accumulate Carbamazepine under Hydroponic Conditions
Authors: Tejeda Allan , Zurita Florentina
Published: May 2020

Iris sibirica and Zantedeschia aethiopica are ornamental species that have previously been used in pilot-scale treatment wetlands (TWs) focused on the removal of carbamazepine (CBZ), in which good results were obtained; however, the plant influence was not completely determined. In addition, plant uptake has been reported to play a crucial role in CBZ removal in comparison to other mechanisms. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the capacity of I. sibirica and Z. aethiopica to take up, translocate, and accumulate CBZ in hydroponic conditions using a nutrient solution spiked with the drug. The maximum CBZ tolerance threshold for the two species was found to be 10 mg/L, which was used to carry out the uptake experiments. The results showed a better performance of I. sibirica compared to Z. aethiopica reaching 31.1% and 20.9% of removal efficiency, respectively. The parent compound accumulated mainly on the leaves of both species. Furthermore, a high proportion of the CBZ taken up by the plants (up to 70%) was metabolized by both species. The performance of the two species suggests the importance of plant harvesting in TWs in order to promote CBZ removal and indicates the need for future works.

Authors: Savoniakaitė Vida
Published: May 2020

To mark Lithuania’s centenary, this issue is dedicated to the genesis of anthropology, ethnology, ethnography and folklore. This interdisciplinary issue covers the history of ideas, or the science of ideas in the 19th and early 20th centuries and beyond. Lithuanian scientists who graduated from universities in the Russian Empire and Europe developed theoretical concepts of Enlightenment in the humanities and the social sciences. The emerging study of Lithuania integrated and interpreted the concepts of ethnic research that prevailed in Europe and Imperial Russia at that time. Using a comparative approach, the thematic articles reveal the links between the genesis of Lithuanian ethnology and anthropology, and the research into ethnic groups in the Russian Empire, the Other, the study of people and nations in the West, and the ideas of Völkerkunde. The focus is on the following issues: the reception of ethnography and Lithuanian studies, the comparative study of people and nations, and ideas of nationalism. Key words: сultural nationalism, Lithuania, nation-building, nation, science societies.

Faut-il restaurer les carrières après exploitation ? Potentialités écologiques des carrières abandonnées à moyen terme (30-40 ans) / Should we restore quarries after exploitation ? Ecological potentials of abandoned quarries in the medium term (30-40 years)
Authors: Chenot Julie , Lescure Flavie
Published: May 2020

Cette étude a pour objectif d’évaluer les potentialités écologiques des carrières après exploitation et leurs apports à la biodiversité régionale dans le contexte éco-paysager. Pour cela, un diagnostic écologique a été établi. Il a été basé sur une cartographie des habitats néoformés à l’emplacement des anciens sites d’extraction et sur un recensement systématique des espèces animales (avifaune, herpétofaune, etc.) et végétales à forte valeur patrimoniale. L’étude a été menée sur des carrières alluvionnaires sèches de la plaine de la Crau (sud-est de la France), exploitées dans les années 1970-1980 et qui ont détruit l’écosystème de pelouses sèches méditerranéennes dont la majorité de la surface est actuellement strictement protégée (le reste étant classé en Natura 2000). Après exploitation, ces dernières ont fait l’objet d’une grande diversité d’activités restauratives (réhabilitation écologique, absence de réhabilitation, dépôts de matériaux anthropogéniques, etc.). Les résultats montrent que les anciennes carrières abritent des mosaïques d’habitats qui accueillent des groupes faunistiques et des espèces floristiques diversifiés et forment alors de nombreux refuges pour des espèces rares et menacées. Et même si les cortèges floristiques et faunistiques divergent par rapport à l’écosystème originel, ils peuvent être intéressants du point de vue de la biodiversité. Enfin, ces résultats liés à la faible réussite des opérations de restauration écologique de nos jours peuvent entraîner un changement de paradigme dans les programmes de restauration vers la libre expression des processus naturels caractéristiques de la restauration spontanée ou passive.
Analyse phytosociologique et phytoécologique des formations forestières à pin laricio de Corse (Pinus nigra J.F. Arnold subsp. laricio Maire) – Addendum / Phytosociological and phytoecological survey of Corsican Pine forests – Addendum
Authors: Gauberville Christian , Panaïotis Christophe , Bioret Frédéric , Capelo Jorge
Published: May 2020

In Ecologia Mediterranea issue 45 (1) – 2019, we published a phytosociological review article on the formations of Corsican Pine (Pinus nigra J. F. Arnold subsp. laricio Maire) (Gauberville et al. 2019). Since then, we found out that we did not scrupulously followed the code of phytosociological nomenclature (Weber et al. 2000). We had made a proposal for a new name for the climatophile mountain association, as Pinus poiretianae is now called Pinus laricio, and the old species name had not been used for more than 20 years. We now propose to reinstate the name initially given by Litardière & Malcuit (1929). Our name proposal was and is still correct (Pinetum laricionis (from Litardière & Malcuit 1926) Gauberville, Panaïotis, Bioret & Capelo nom. nov. prop.) but until the ad hoc committee has formally accepted it, the name should remain Pinetum poiretianae (from Litardière & Malcuit 1926). Furthermore, in order to validate our new syntaxons we here publish their typus relevés.

O objetivo deste artigo é trazer alguns movimentos de análise a partir da interlocução com dois textos que discursam sobre a educação em leitura para jovens leitores, na atualidade. Uma história em quadrinhos (Estúdio Maurício de Souza, 2018), que consideramos um gênero e suporte bastante presentes tanto no ambiente escolar como no mercado editorial e que busca alcançar o público infantil; a Base Nacional Comum Curricular - BNCC (versão final, 2018), no que diz respeito à área de linguagens – Língua Portuguesa – para os 1º e 2º Anos do Ensino Fundamental 1, no campo de atuação humana denominado artístico-literário. Destacamos e interpretamos alguns pontos comuns em ambos os textos, argumentando o modo como eles constroem um discurso em torno da “leitura literária”, reafirmando-a como uma habilidade individual relevante e de grande importância a ser adquirida na nossa sociedade: ler é bom! Nessa visão, para ambos, a leitura é vista desencarnada dos suportes a que está vinculada. Como prática (da linguagem), a leitura é aliada a valores, afetos, sensibilidades, memórias, conhecimentos e também à habilidades e se faz nas comunidades de leitores (na escola, inclusive) que a colocam em evidência e a põem em movimento, de forma partilhada e diversa, em condições (desiguais) de produção, de recepção e circulação.

Published: May 2020

Introduction: Pain control is an essential care for patients with renal colic in emergency wards. Objectives: This study aimed to compare the analgesic efficacy of intravenous (IV) paracetamol (PC) versus ketorolac (KET) for patients with renal colic. Patients and Methods: In a randomized controlled clinical trial, 110 patients with renal colic referred to the emergency department of Kosar hospital, Semnan between October 2015 and June 2016 were selected. Eighty-eight patients were divided into two groups (44 patients in each group) of PC (1 g/IV) and KET (30 mg/IV). One patient in each group was excluded during the study. Vital signs and pain severity (measured by visual analogue scale [VAS]) of all patients were recorded at admission time 0, 20, 40 and 60 minutes after treatment. Then, the results were compared in two groups. Results: The results showed that at the time of 0, 20, 40 and 60 minutes after the administration of the PC and KET drugs, no significant difference was seen in severity of pain based on VAS score between the two groups (P<0.05). Moreover, there were no significant differences in the vital signs of two groups (P<0.05). No adverse effects were reported in each group. Conclusion: In conclusion, the use of IV-PC and KET in patients with renal colic had similar pain relieving effects without any adverse effects.

Published: May 2020

Introduction: Malnutrition is a complex, multi-factorial and common problem in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing hemodialysis that increases morbidity and mortality rate in them. Objectives: To assess the prevalence of malnutrition and associated factors in hemodialysis patients. Patients and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 239 hemodialysis patients (162 males and 77 females) referred to three dialysis centers in Ahvaz, Iran in 2018. The nutritional statuswas measured using subjective global assessment (SGA)tool. The anthropometric indices, body mass index (BMI) and biochemical parameters including albumin, triglyceride, C-reactive protein (CRP), and adequacy of dialysis (Kt/V) were also measured in all patients. Results: Based on SGA, 45 (18.8%) patients including 32 males and 13 females had mild to moderate malnutrition while 26 (10.9%) patients consisting of 11 men and 15 women had severe malnutrition. We found a significant association between patients’ gender and malnutrition status (P=0.013). In addition, a significant association was seen between age (P=0.024), BMI (P=0.0001), CRP (P=0.047) and serum albumin concentration (P=0.007) with nutritional status. However, we did not find any significant association between triglyceride, Kt/V and duration of hemodialysis per week with malnutrition (P>0.05). Moreover, BMI, patient’s gender and serum albumin were the significant predictors of severe malnutrition in hemodialysis patients (P<0.05). Conclusion: According to high prevalence of malnutrition in ESRD patients undergoing hemodialysis, periodic assessment of nutritional status is necessary for them. Moreover, female patients, CRP, serum albumin and BMI showed a significant correlation with SGA score, which are important to determine the nutritional status of hemodialysis patients (HD) patients.

A Distributed-Ledger, Edge-Computing Architecture for Automation and Computer Integration in Semiconductor Manufacturing
Authors: Liao Da-Yin
Published: May 2020

Contemporary 300mm semiconductor manufacturing systems have highly automated and digitalized cyber-physical integration. They suffer from the profound problems of integrating large, centralized legacy systems with small islands of automation. With the recent advances in disruptive technologies, semiconductor manufacturing has faced dramatic pressures to reengineer its automation and computer integrated systems. This paper proposes a Distributed-Ledger, Edge-Computing Architecture (DLECA) for automation and computer integration in semiconductor manufacturing. Based on distributed ledger and edge computing technologies, DLECA establishes a decentralized software framework where manufacturing data are stored in distributed ledgers and processed locally by executing smart contracts at the edge nodes. We adopt an important topic of automation and computer integration for semiconductor research &development (R&D) operations as the study vehicle to illustrate the operational structure and functionality, applications, and feasibility of the proposed DLECA software framework.

Authors: Radhika P. , Jena Dr. Sudarson , Narasimham Dr. S.V.L
Published: May 2020

Analysis of dependability is a significant stage in structuring and examining the safety of protection systems and computer systems. The introduction of virtual machines and multiprocessors leads to increasing the faults of the system, particularly for the failures that are software- induced, affecting the overall dependability. Also, it is different for the successful operation of the safety system at any dynamic stage, since there is a tremendous distinction in the rate of failure among the failures that are induced by the software and the hardware. Thus this paper presents a review or different dependability analysis techniques employed in multiprocessor systems.

Management of Chemical Weapons Victims in Terms of Disaster Medicine
Authors: ÖZTÜRK İlhan , GUNEREN Ethem , MAYADAGLI Alpaslan , ERDOGAN Ozcan
Published: May 2020

Today, as Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) weapons are generally used to cause terror and havoc, they are also used to bring about mass destruction and breach of the capacity. Since CBRN weapons are easily procurable, they became an untrammeled power supply in the hands of weak states. Despite all international judgments, treaties and pressures preventing production, storage and usage of chemical weapons, uncontrolled usage still has not been averted. Dual-use feature of some chemicals provides convenience in their trading permissions and their passing through customs. Because chemical detections are difficult and early warning systems are not prevalent in border crossings and customs entries, there is an increasing danger. Disregard of the agencies and institutions meant to be responsible from protecting human health and health of other species, jeopardizes the situation more.In terms of disaster medicine, management of injuries with chemical warfare agents and injured peoples require a multi-disciplinary approach, study and coordination. Unfortunately, academic studies regarding standard procedures and algorithms of rescue and health services provided to the injured peoples as from the initial contact, - especially in the case of injuries with chemical weapons- have a very limited availability. On the purpose of removing this uncertainty and remedying the current deficiency; scientists, forensic science experts, health care providers, chemists, engineers, search and rescue experts, firefighters, members of the managerial disciplines, legists, logistics specialists and experts related to the security field urgently need to determine required standard algorithms of prevention and response.In this study; the medical care processes of chlorine gas as chemical weapons wounded in Syria due to Syrian civil war are evaluated in terms of disaster medicine

İnsanların geniş kitleler halinde en savunmasız ve en muhtaç olduğu zaman dilimlerinden birisi de afet halleridir. Afetler yaşanmadan önce yapılacak temel altyapı ve fiziksel hazırlıkların yanı sıra, sosyal hizmetler açısından da hazırlıkların yapılması gerekir. Çünkü sosyal hizmetlerin doğru zamanlı ve yerinde uygulamaları ile toplumsal zarar görmüşlüğün en aza indirilmesi, afetlerin yıkım etkisinden toplumun sosyal ve ekonomik anlamda korunması sağlanır. Sosyal hizmetler ile afetlerden doğrudan veya dolaylı etkilenen kesimlere ulaşmak mümkün olur. Sosyal hizmetlerin içinde afetzedelere yönelik sosyal ve ekonomik destek süreçleri ile birlikte psikolojik iyileştirme ve koruma çalışmalarını da dahil etmek gerekir.Bu çalışmada afetlerde sosyal hizmetler için genel kuramsal çerçeve ile birlikte paydaşların tanımlanması, istenen ve beklenen etkiler için sosyal hizmetlerin organizasyon modellemesi üzerinde durulacaktır. Sosyal hizmetlerin yerel kaynaklarla bütünleşmesi erişibilirliğini ve yaygınlığını sağlar. Bu nedenle merkezi yönetimlerin destek ve himayesinde yerel yönetimlerin ve sivil toplum örgütlerinin daha etkili olmalarını teşvik etmek gerekir.
How to reduce reckless driving in resource-constrained situations?
Authors: Singh Bhanu Pratap , Singh Nirvisha
Published: May 2020

Most of the data gathering devices used for monitoring driver’s behavior
require large storage, strong cellular signals, and unlimited internet.
Touching mobile devices, during driving, is prohibited by many law enforcement
agencies. There are situations, especially in developing countries, where people
get stuck on roads with a low battery, low device-memory, and no mobile
network. The drivers in such situations are not able to
report against reckless drivers effectively. This paper proposes the
framework of the “citizen reporting program” (CRP) aided with mobile apps to
reduce reckless driving in such resource-constrained
situations (RCS). A mobile app was designed, developed, and tested as a
tool for this purpose. It could convert speech to text without a cellular
network, capture the nearest geolocation, and send data to a server on the network
or internet availability. We tested its reliability for converting speech to
text and got a “word error rate” (WER) of less than 5%. We tested its
functional usability and got a score of more than 71% on the system usability scale (SUS). The survey
showed a favorable response of 70 plus % in reducing reckless driving via CRP
in RCS if aided with mobile apps.

Framing for Success: Governance of Swedish School Mathematics, 1980–1995
Authors: Prytz Johan
Published: May 2020

This article examines the design of the mathematics curriculum applied in Sweden between 1980 and 1995 and how this design affected student results between two international tests, SIMS1980 and TIMSS1995. During this period, the results in mathematics improved on a general level, but in some topics it did not. The results increased significantly in arithmetic, but very little in algebra. I investigate in what respect the arithmetic and algebra curricula were designed differently. The analysed materials are syllabus, commentary material, tests, and textbooks. The analysis is based on Bernstein’s theory on classification and framing. The main conclusion is that strong framing in the curriculum can be associated with better student results in TIMSS and evidence for a causal relation between these entities is presented. On the basis of my finding, I raise a critical question about the change in governing policy that took place in Sweden between 1975 and 2000.

Published: May 2020

With the advancement of research in biomaterials, it has been suggested that the best osteoconductivity of hydroxyapatite would be achieved if its crystal were closer to the structure, size and morphology of biological apatite, that is why nano-hydroxyapatite (nano-HA) is of great importance. current interest. Strontium ions are known to reduce bone resorption, induce osteoblastic activity and stimulate bone formation. The aim of this study was to evaluate biocompatibility and osteoconduction in surgical defects filled with nano-hydroxyapatite microspheres containing 1% strontium (nano-SrHA), stoichiometric nano-HA microspheres (nano-HA) compared to the clot (control) . Four Santa Inês sheep, weighing an average of 32 kg, were anesthetized and submitted to three 2 mm diameter perforations in the medial face of the tibia. The surgical defects were filled with blood clot, microspheres of Sr-HA 1% and microspheres of HA. After 30 days the samples were drawn (6 mm), decalcified, processed for inclusion in paraffin and stained with hematoxylin and eosin (HE) for histological evaluation with light microscopy. All groups revealed bone neoformation from the periphery to the center of the defect, with the nano-SrHA group being less intense among those studied. Presence of a discrete mononuclear inflammatory infiltrate in all experimental groups. Giant foreign body cells were only observed in the HA group. Areas of bone neoformation were observed in close contact with both biomaterials. According to the results obtained, microspheres of HA and SrHA 1% are biocompatible and have osteoconductive properties.

Background Aim of this research is to assess the efficacy and safety of tocilizumab (TCZ) in combination with methotrexate (MTX) in Indonesian patients with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have an inadequate response to non-biologic DMARDs.Methods This was a interventional, prospective, single arm, multicenter, study in  Indonesian male or female patients aged ≥ 18 years old, with a diagnosis of RA for > 6 months based on ACR 1987 revised criteria with moderate to severe disease activity (DAS28 score > 3.2) after ≥ 12 weeks of non-biologic DMARDs treatment. The treatment consisted of tocilizumab, 8 mg/kg, intravenous (IV), every 4 weeks for a total of 6 infusion in combination with oral MTX (10−25 mg) every week. Efficacy was assessed based on the percentage of patients achieving low disease activity state (DAS28 < 3.2), percentage of patients achieving reduction > 1.2 point of DAS28, percentage of patients achieving remission (DAS28 < 2.6), and percentage of patients with ACR20, ACR50, and ACR70 responses. Descriptive statistics will be used for presentation of results.Results 100% patients reached low disease activity (DAS28 ≤ 3.2) at last study visit (week 24) and clinically significant improvement (reduction at least 1.2 units) at every visit in DAS28, both for ITT or PP patients. Remission (DAS28 < 2.6) was observed in 82.1% (ITT patients) and 93.1 % (PP patients) on last study visit. ACR20, ACR50, and ACR70 were achieved in 20%, 34%, and 34% (ITT patients), and 7%, 24%, and 62% (PP patients) on week 24. There were 3 out of 39 patients (7.69%) with adverse events (AE) and serious adverse events (SAE) that resulted in discontinuation of TCZ treatment, consisting of 1 patient with SAE of sepsis ec acquired community pneumonia, 1 patient with SAE of pneumonia tuberculosis, and 1 patient with AE of candidiasis. Most common adverse events were hepatic dysfunction (30.7%), hypercholesterolemia (23.1%), followed by arthralgia (20.5%) Twelve percent of patients needed dose modification due to elevated liver enzyme (elevated ALT/SGPT level).Conclusion Tocilizumab seems to be efficacious and likely to have good safety profile in non- biologic DMARD nonresponsive RA patients of PICTURE INA study.   Keywords: Rheumatoid Arthritis, Tocilizumab, DMARD, DAS28
Correlation of sCD40L Level with Force Vital Capacity Value in Restrictive Lung Disease of Systemic Sclerosis Patients
Authors: Salim Susanto , Wachjudi Rachmat Gunadi , Dewi Sumartini
Published: May 2020

Background: Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) is one of the major cause of morbidity and mortality in Systemic Sclerosis (SSc). The gold standard to diagnose ILD is using High Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) scan. HRCT scan need a lot of cost and not always available, so another diagnosing test is needed as an alternative modality to diagnose ILD. ILD is a restrictive lung disease caused by lung fibrosis which is proved by the decrease of Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) in spirometry, and followed by the increase of soluble CD40L (sCD40L) level in plasma. This sCD40L may become a potential biomarker to evaluate lung fibrosis in SSc patients. The aim of this study is to analyze the correlation of sCD40L levels with FVC score in SSc patients with restrictive lung disease.Method:This cross sectional study was enrolled by the SSc patient who has restrictive lung disease based on spirometry test, at Rheumatology outpatient clinic dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital from May 2015 to May 2016. All subject took underwent history, physical examination, spirometry and blood test for sCD40L. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation.Result:There were 38 subjects involved in this study, dominated bywoman (92.1%) with mean age 41(±11) years. Subjects consist of 22(57,9%) with limited SSc, 16(42,1%) with diffuse SSc patients and 33 subjects treated with DMARD. Mean sCD40L serum in this study was 6.690,3(±2.377,3) pg/mL, with no statistical difference between limited and diffuse type (p=0.154). Mean FVC score in this study was 58.2(±10,8). There was no significant correlation between sCD40L serum with FVC (r=0.058; p=0.366). There was weak correlation on DMARD naïve subject between sCD40L serum and FVC (r=0.058; p=0.366) but statistically insignificant. There was no significant correlation between sCD40L serum with mRSS (r=0,066; p=0,346).Conclusion: This study founds no correlation between sCD40L with FVC in SSc at dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital. Keyword : sCD40L, Forced Vital Capacity, Restrictive Lung Disease, Systemic Sclerosis

Published: May 2020

Background Gout arthritis associates with many comorbodities such as hyperuricemia, hypertension, hyperglycemia, obesity, and dyslipidemia, which are also factors for the development of/or predisposition factors of chronic kidney diseases (CKD). Albuminuria is a predictor factors for CKD. Screening for albuminuria is needed to be done in patients with high risk of CKD. This research was conducted to examine the prevalence of albuminuria and the associated factors in gout arthritis patients.Methods This research was a cross-sectional study from gout arthritis patients’ medical records in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital. We included all gout patients who treated within 2011−2015. Subjects with chronic kidney disease, in kidney replacement therapy, hypertension ≥ 10 years, and diabetes ≥ 5 years were excluded. Albuminuria was determined by urine dipstick result of protein ≥ 1+. Factors associated were age, sex, hyperuricemia, hypertension, stage of hypertension, hyperglycemia, obesity, dyslipidemia, uric acid level, and body mass index (BMI). Data associated with the factors were recorded and the associations were tested with chi square, fisher’s exact, or independent t-test.Results from 54 subjects included in this research, the prevalence of albuminuria was 20.4%. There were no significant associations between all factors and albuminuria tested by chi square and fisher’s exact test. Independent t-test’s results also showed no significant associations between all the factors and albuminuriaConclusion The prevalence of albuminuria in gout arthritis patient was 20.4%. There were no significant associatons between age, sex, hyperuricemia, hypertension, hyperglycemia, obesity, dyslipidemia, uric acid level, and body mass index (BMI) tested with albuminuria in gout arthritis patients in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital from 2011−2015.Keywords: Prevalence, Albuminuria, Gout Arthritis, Risk Factors
