Published: July 2023

O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar uma revisão bibliométrica sobre o potencial econômico das plantas medicinais utilizadas como fitoterápicos. Para isso, realizou-se uma busca nos sítios do Google e Google Acadêmico, sem delimitação de período de tempo, utilizando os termos planta medicinal, plantas medicinais, valor econômico de plantas medicinais, potencial econômico de plantas medicinais, plantas medicinais utilizadas pelos SUS e a palavra bula seguida do nome popular ou científico ou do fitomedicamento e, com base os textos utilizados encontrados, este artigo foi elaborado. Como resultado, foi introduzida a história das plantas medicinais e a evolução de seu uso, uma vez que esta são fontes de moléculas biologicamente ativas que atualmente apresentam um grande potencial econômico no mercado da indústria farmacêutica e, que por constituir-se de medicamentos de menor custo quando comparados como os alopáticos, são amplamente utilizados pelos SUS. O estudo de novos fitoterápicos é uma área bastante promissora, principalmente no Brasil que é um país detentor de uma quantidade imensurável de plantas com propriedades medicinais, mas que, no entanto, para que ocorram pesquisas significativas e efetivo desenvolvimento de novos fitomedicamentos, é necessário maior investimento financeiro na área para aumentar a produção de novos fitofármacos e fitoterápicos genuinamente brasileiros e, consequentemente, maior lucro gerado por este setor.

A infecção pelo Vírus da Hepatite C (VHC) é uma causa importante de doença hepática e grave problema de saúde pública, têm prevalência aumentada em serviços de diálise, necessitando efetivamente de estratégias para sua eliminação. Objetivou-se propor um fluxograma de enfermagem, desenhado para identificar, diagnosticar e encaminhar para tratamento do VHC os portadores de Doença Renal Crônica (DRC), utilizando o Processo de Enfermagem (PE). Para isso, descreveu-se um roteiro de identificação de portadores do vírus em um fluxograma de diagnóstico e tratamento com PE, em Unidades de Diálise (UDs) no município de São Luís – MA. A população foi de 925 portadores de DRC. Utilizaram-se planilhas das UDs e Histórico de Enfermagem (HE) como instrumentos de coleta de dados. As principais intervenções foram: identificação dos portadores do anti-VHC positivos, solicitação do teste de VHC-RNA para confirmação da infecção, coleta e envio das amostras para o laboratório central da rede estadual do Maranhão – LACEN-MA e encaminhamento dos pacientes com os testes positivos para serem tratados nas próprias UDs pelos médicos nefrologistas responsáveis. Foram identificados 25 portadores de anti-VHC positivos (2,7%), 17 (68%) tinham VHC-RNA positivos. Destes, 15 foram tratados nas próprias unidades, sem que precisassem ser deslocados para serviços especializados. Portanto, com o fluxo utilizado envolvendo os profissionais da enfermagem como estratégia, provou-se ser factível para o diagnóstico e tratamento de portadores do VHC nas UDs, podendo contribuir como estratégia para eliminação da infecção em demais unidades de diálise do país.

Recent human-bear conflicts in Northern Italy: a review, with considerations of future perspectives
Authors: De Vivo Mattia
Published: July 2023

The killing of a runner in Northern Italy by a brown bear (Ursus arctos arctos) and the subsequent investigation of such matter highlighted a Human-Wildlife Conflict (HWC) that has been present in Trentino since the introduction of bears for conservation during the Life Ursus Project. Such conflict may be exacerbated as both human and bear populations get bigger. In this paper, I summarize the information we have about the WHC in Trentino, the attacks on humans and the legal procedures available.Several trends (e.g., increase of problematic bears) were already noticed and predicted in the past. The current legal instruments do not strictly define what a “dangerous bear” is, which lead to very subjective measures. Unless mitigation solutions are adopted (e.g., bear spray) or expanded (e.g., communication on the subject), WHC may disrupt the work done until now for bear conservation in the Italian Alps, due to a negative perception from the local population, which seems to be amplified by local politicians.

A Quantitative Study on Aging and the Evaluation of Attitudes towards Aging: The Adiyaman University Example
Authors: SELÇUK Nurullah
Published: July 2023

Aging has become an essential social phenomenon in developing countries. The underlying reason is the demographic aging conceptualized as the increase in the number of the elders within the general population. The demographic structure which changes rapidly transforms attitudes towards aging and the significance of the relationship between cultural patterns into an important social phenomenon which needs to be examined in the sociological aspects. Attitudes developed by the society towards aging and elderliness which contain the cultural codes of the society and doesn’t actualize independent from the social values vary according to time. Within this context, the study aims to examine at which level is the perception of two different generations (y and z) towards aging and elderliness in the demographically aging populations. In this study, Elderliness and Aging Attitudes Scale was implemented whose validity and reliability had been tested before. As a result of the data obtained, aging and negative attitudes towards old age are associated with the decline in the social status of the elderly. The developments that cause the elderly to be dependent on others have been evaluated as one of the important causes of aging and negative attitudes towards old age. It has been observed that the attitude towards aging and aging negatively affects active aging, and withdrawal from life, which is the opposite of active aging, increases addiction. In the research, the low social status of the elderly was associated with aging and attitudes towards aging.

obras de arte en el contexto de la industria cultural
Authors: Cuesta Gómez Eliezer
Published: July 2023

En el nacimiento del concepto de industria cultural, Adorno y Horkheimer plantearon una tendencia estética-crítica que reflexionaba en torno a la representación de la lógica de consumo con todas sus contradicciones inherentes. Ellos miraron el reduccionismo y la facilidad de las dificultades técnicas de una obra de arte de su tiempo, ya que esas producciones artísticas, argumentaban, estaban destinadas a la alienación y el entretenimiento de su espectador.Basado en esta premisa, reflexiono en torno a los siguientes cuestionamientos: ¿Una obra creada desde el interior de esta lógica podría crecer y autocriticarse dialógicamente para liberar la enajenación del individuo en relación con un mero divertimento? ¿Cabría la posibilidad de que la obra (verdadera) de arte exista dentro de la industria cultural? Este trabajo pretende identificar si hay o no reflexión y creatividad en las obras de arte producidas (ya no creadas) dentro de un ámbito de consumo, en tanto que se determine cuál es la cosa del objeto del arte. Para emitir una conclusión que evada todo fatalismo conceptual, recupero las nociones sobre la reproductibilidad técnica de Walter Benjamin. Con ello se establecen nuevas posibilidades respecto al arte en este contexto de seriación, consumo y de pensar, desde sus espectadores, en la cosa del arte más bien como duda.

Authors: Yusup Andreian , Komariah Siti , Nurbayani K Siti
Published: July 2023

This study aims to analyze how identity politics and power relations related to sexual violence in a religious campus environment. The research approach used was qualitative with a phenomenological method that can analyze the problem of sexual violence by analyzing the theory of hegemony and power relations. The informants for this study were campus officials, namely the Chancellor and his staff, the sexual violence task force and active university students with data collection techniques through observation, documentation, in-depth interviews, and literature studies, then analyzed descriptively and using source triangulation techniques. This study's results showed that identity politics and power relations influence sexual violence in the campus environment. This study concludes that the problem of sexual violence by perpetrators and victims in the campus environment can happen to anyone based on identity politics. This research implies that the higher education environment should be aware of social issues, especially sexual violence caused by identity politics and power relations.
Macular Buckling Surgery Using a Novel L-shaped Buckle for Patients with Myopic Tractional Maculopathy
Authors: Lee Yunhan , Yang Jee Myung , Kim June-Gone
Published: July 2023

Purpose: To describe the clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes of patients with myopic tractional maculopathy (MTM) who underwent macular buckling (MB) surgery using a novel L-shaped buckle.Methods: A titanium stent, a style 507 sponge, and a silicone sleeve were used to create an L-shaped macular buckle. The titanium stent was bent through 90° over the last third. The sponge was cut to about 1 cm in length and placed on the extremity. The remaining part of the stent was then covered with a 2-cm-long silicone sleeve; the total buckle length was 3 cm. The buckle was implanted supero-temporally to allow access to the macular region. Intraoperative optical coherence tomography (Zeiss Rescan 700, Carl Zeiss, Jena, Germany) was performed to ensure that the buckle was appropriately positioned.Results: Three patients with MTM underwent MB surgery under general anesthesia. In all patients, the foveae lay at the greatest distances possible from the posterior staphyloma. Given the location of the posterior staphyloma and the posterior scleral expansion, anteroposterior traction was evident in every patient. After surgery, although the extent varied, all patients exhibited reduced anteroposterior traction, evidenced by decreased retinoschisis, staphyloma flattening, and smaller macular holes. In one case, vitrectomy was added to release epiretinal membrane-induced tangential traction. No patient reported any significant ocular complication after surgery.Conclusions: MB using an L-shaped buckle, safely and efficiently relieves anteroposterior traction and improves the macular anatomy in patients with MTM.

Authors: Yoo Jeongseo , Jin Yeonwoo , Nam Myungsik , Rah Sanghoon
Published: July 2023

Purpose: This study investigates the intraocular pressures and dry eye signs before and after botulinum toxin (botox) injections for patients with essential blepharospasm.Methods: From November 2021 to July 2022, a prospective study examined 78 eyes of 39 patients diagnosed with essential blepharospasm. Before injection and 1 and 3 months after injection, intraocular pressures (IOPs) were measured using a Goldmann applanation tonometer. The noninvasive breakup time (NIBUT), lipid layer thickness (LLT), tear meniscus height (TMH), and meibomian gland clearance were assessed with the aid of the IDRA platform (SBM Sistemi, Turin, Italy).Results: The average IOPs were 14.33 ± 3.47 (7-21), 13.45 ± 3.54 (9-21), and 13.28 ± 2.98 (7-20) mmHg before, and 1 and 3 months after, botox injection respectively (p = 0.002 , p = 0.004). Twenty-four eyes of 12 patients with dry eye symptoms evidenced a significant difference in the NIBUT 1 month after Botox injection, but no significant difference in any of the LLT, TMH, or meibomian gland areal loss percentage (p = 0.007, 0.201, 0.586, and 0.435 respectively). After 3 months, no dry eye parameter change, including the NIBUT, was significant (p = 0.202, 0.542, 0.240, and 0.721 respectively).Conclusions: Botulinum toxin A injection temporarily relieved dry eye symptoms and reduced the IOP in patients with essential blepharospasm.

Authors: Perera Irosha , Karunachandra K.N.N. , Wimalasena B. A. S. , Mustapha A. M. , Perera Manosha L.
Published: July 2023

Background & Aim: Providing dental treatment to young children becomes challenging due to their dental fear or anxiety, which manifests in disruptive or non-compliant behavior. This study aims to collect baseline information on the behavior patterns and related factors of 2- 5-yearold children with dental caries at the first visit for basic preventive dental treatment and non-pharmacological behavioral management.

Materials and methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 427, 2–5-year-old children who presented with their parents to the preventive dental clinic, community dental unit of Dental Institute, Colombo which is a premier, multispecialty, tertiary care public dental hospital in Sri Lanka. A specially designed interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect data on sociodemographic status, oral health behaviors, night feeding practices, dietary habits assessed by a food frequency question, dental caries status, fluoride application and child’s behavior at the first and subsequent visits and non-pharmacological behavior management techniques used. The data were entered and analyzed using the SPSS-21 statistical software package using frequency distributions and chi-square test of statistical significance to compare groups.

Results: The majority of children (72.8%) were cooperative in receiving basic preventive oral health care at the first visit, which marked the first dental visit for the majority. The children carried a high burden of untreated dental caries. The mean dmft was 7.74 (95% CI: 7.39–8.10), with a mean dt of 7.61 (95% CI: 7.25-7.96). Cariogenic dietary pattern, night breastfeeding practices, and past dental care of the child were significantly associated with the observed behavior pattern of children for preventive oral health care (p<0.05). The preventive dental clinic had a child-friendly environment and practiced voice control with tell-show-do, rewarding, positive modeling, and distraction techniques.

Conclusions: A child-friendly environment in the dental office, simple non-pharmacological behavior management techniques, and noninvasive preventive dental treatment could be effective in managing young pediatric patients with a high burden of dental caries.
Enterocele with Risk of Intestinal Incarceration: A Case Report
Authors: Cuaresma-González María , De-Miguel-Manso Sonia , Suárez-Mansilla Paula , Ibáñez-Nieto Marta , Ruiz Pérez Esther , Díaz-Heredero Álvaro Sanz
Published: July 2023

Purpose: To describe the diagnosis and management of enterocele with high risk of bowel ischemia in patients with pelvic organ prolapse.

Methods: We describe the clinical case of an 81-year-old patient, hypertensive, obese, anticoagulated because of an atrial fibrillation and pelvic organ prolapse. Initially, conservative treatment was offered due to the high surgical risk, but sometime later the patient came to the emergency department with enterocele and risk of intestinal ischemia.

Results: After placing the patient in the Trendelenburg position and applying ice to the perineum, the prolapse is reduced. Subsequently, urgent surgical intervention is performed with a total vaginal hysterectomy, anterior colporrhaphy, Ritcher's operation and colpoperineorrhaphy. This intervention solved the patient's clinical condition and also avoided the small bowel ischemia.

Conclusion: The diagnosis of advanced enterocele with risk of intestinal obstruction is a very rare but potentially serious clinical case. The immediate recognition and management are very important because of the risk of vaginal rupture, intestinal necrosis, and also systemic infection.
Addressing Racial/Ethnic Healthcare Disparities and the Rising Incidence of Syphilis
Authors: Levine Elliot M. , Fernandez Carlos M.
Published: July 2023

Some sexually transmitted infections have posed a particular epidemiologic problem for some communities, in that racial/ethnic disparities have been demonstrated. Syphilis represents a specific example of such an infection, compounding the medical problem further by adding to the serious consequences of its vertical perinatal transmissibility to the neonate, in addition to its sexual, or horizontal, transmission. The recently rising incidence of syphilis in the pregnant woman and the potential for the rising incidence of congenital syphilis should be a cause for global concern. However, what may be concluded as a problem within communities of color, may actually be a problem relating more closely with a socioeconomic disparity. Multiple deliberate measures may be needed to affect its eradication, which is naturally possible, given the longtime availability of the simple curable medical compound of penicillin.
Strawberry Cervix- A Clinical Image of Trichomonas vaginalis: A Case Report
Authors: Bicha Mequanint Melesse , Arefeayinie Ayalew Lingerih
Published: July 2023

Trichomonas vaginalis is a common cause of symptomatic vaginitis in women. Trichomoniasis occurs more frequently in people with multiple sexual partners. Women often present with vaginal discharge, painful intercourse, urinary tract infection symptoms, vaginal itching, or pelvic pain. The strawberry cervix is a finding upon physical examination where the cervix has an erythematous, punctate, and papilliform appearance. The strawberry cervix is named because of its superficially similar appearance to a strawberry. As opposed to a more general inflammation of the cervix found in cervicitis, the strawberry cervix appearance is considered to be selectively associated with Trichomoniasis. The clinical image of Trichomonas vaginalis is rarely reported. We present a clinical image of the strawberry cervix in a woman diagnosed to have trichomonas vaginalis.
Laparoscopic resection of a paraganglioma behind the retrohepatic segment of the inferior vena cava: a case report and literature review
Authors: Wang Wenda , Deng Jianhua , Li Hanzhong , Ji Zhigang , Wen Jin
Published: July 2023

Background

Due to the location of paragangliomas (PGLs) behind the retrohepatic segment of inferior vena cava (IVC), it is difficult to expose and resect the tumor.

Case presentation

A tumor measuring 50×45×62cm behind the retrohepatic portion of IVC was found in a 51-year-old female with hypertention and diabetes mellitus. Although the test for catecholamines revealed no signs of disease, the enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan, somatostatin receptor imaging and iodine-131-labeled metaiiodo-benzylguanidine (131I-MIBG) imaging revealed that the tumor was PGL. A three-dimensional printing was performed to visualize the tumor. The laparoscpic surgery for the PGL behind the retrohepatic segment of IVC was performed and the tumor was resected completely without causing any tissues injury. The pathologic diagnosis was PGL and the patient was able to recover well.

Conclusions

This case demonstrates that laparoscopic surgery may be helpful in tumor accessibility, and could be used in the appropriate cases to remove PGLs that are located behind the retrohepatic segment of the IVC.

The temporal dynamics of 33 major, trace, and rare earth elements (REEs) were studied in the litter samples containing Swedish Norway spruce (Picea abies) (NSL) and Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) (SPL), with the aim to assess their release and accumulation dynamics. Litter bags (8 × 8 cm) were incubated in paired monoculture stands with both the species for up to 5 years from 1979 to 1984 according to a randomized block design comprising 25 blocks (1 × 1 m) within an area of 625 m2. The decomposition rate was slightly higher for Scots pine litter (k = 0.315) than for Norway spruce litter (k = 0.217). During litter decomposition, at ∼70% accumulated mass loss (AML), the concentration of trace elements increased by >50% in both litter types compared to initial concentrations. The concentration change took place in a non-linear pattern, and polynomial quadratic regression between concentration change and accumulated mass loss resulted in significant relationships (adj R2 = 0.20–0.97; p = 0.15–<0.0001). The changes in concentration and amount of trace elements resulted in two main types of dynamics: 1) both concentration and amount increased for Fe, Al, Ti, Cu, Mo, V, Zr, Sb, As, Cs, Pb, Th, and U; 2) concentration increased but amount decreased for Ni, Zn, Li, and Sr. The amount of REEs increased from ∼3-fold to 99-fold from the beginning to the end of incubation, suggesting accumulation during litter decomposition. The dynamics of different REEs were similar in their change patterns in the two litters. Different REEs had generally identical change patterns during incubation, which is reflected in the high correlations among them (r2 = >0.95). A general upward convexity in the dynamics suggests that if further incubated in the field, decomposing litter could have accumulated more REEs in the organic matter. The results of this study can be useful for future studies in other ecosystems including metal-contaminated sites or element-depleted sites. Plant litter accumulation, its decomposition, and build-up of humic substances in the decomposing organic matter can act as a sink for elements and can be used as a management tool for ecological amelioration of metal-contaminated sites as well as natural systems that are impoverished, especially recuperating sites. The study’s findings have implications beyond such sites and can be useful in any research that seeks to understand the patterns of accumulation and release related to decomposition in different ecosystems.
The immune mechanism of the nasal epithelium in COVID-19–related olfactory dysfunction
Authors: Chen Shunmei , Wang Shufen
Published: July 2023

During the first waves of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, olfactory dysfunction (OD) was reported as a frequent clinical sign. The nasal epithelium is one of the front-line protections against viral infections, and the immune responses of the nasal mucosa may be associated with OD. Two mechanisms underlying OD occurrence in COVID-19 have been proposed: the infection of sustentacular cells and the inflammatory reaction of the nasal epithelium. The former triggers OD and the latter likely prolongs OD. These two alternative mechanisms may act in parallel; the infection of sustentacular cells is more important for OD occurrence because sustentacular cells are more likely to be the entry point of SARS-CoV-2 than olfactory neurons and more susceptible to early injury. Furthermore, sustentacular cells abundantly express transmembrane protease, serine 2 (TMPRSS2) and play a major role in the olfactory epithelium. OD occurrence in COVID-19 has revealed crucial roles of sustentacular cells. This review aims to elucidate how immune responses of the nasal epithelium contribute to COVID-19–related OD. Understanding the underlying immune mechanisms of the nasal epithelium in OD may aid in the development of improved medical treatments for COVID-19–related OD.

Introduction

Damage to retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells caused by oxidative stress is closely related to the pathogenesis of several blinding retinal diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), retinitis pigmentosa, and other inherited retinal degenerative conditions. However, the mechanisms of this process are poorly understood. Hence, the goal of this study was to investigate hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced oxidative damage and protective role of peroxiredoxin 6 (PRDX6) protein via EGFR/ERK signaling pathway in RPE cells.

Methods

Cells from a human RPE cell line (ARPE-19 cells) were treated with H2O2, and then cell viability was assessed using the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay. Cell death and reactive oxygen species (ROS) were detected by flow cytometry. The levels of PRDX6, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), P38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (P38MAPK), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) were detected by Western blot assay. PRDX6 and EGFR were also detected via immunofluorescence staining.

Results

Our results show that H2O2 inhibited cell viability, induced cell death, and increased ROS levels in ARPE-19 cells. It was also found that H2O2 decreased the levels of PRDX6, EGFR, and phosphorylated ERK but increased the levels of phosphorylated P38MAPK and JNK. PRDX6 overexpression was found to attenuate H2O2-induced inhibition of cell viability and increased cell death and ROS production in ARPE-19 cells. PRDX6 overexpression also increased the expression of EGFR and alleviated the H2O2-induced decrease in EGFR and phosphorylated ERK. Moreover, inhibition of epidermal growth factor-induced EGFR and ERK signaling in oxidative stress was partially blocked by PRDX6 overexpression.

Discussion

Our findings indicate that PRDX6 overexpression protects RPE cells from oxidative stress damage caused by decreasing ROS production and partially blocking the inhibition of the EGFR/ERK signaling pathway induced by oxidative stress. Therefore, PRDX6 shows promise as a therapeutic target for the prevention of RPE cell damage caused by oxidative stress associated with retinal diseases.
Single-slab 3D double inversion recovery for magnetic resonance brain imaging in clinically healthy dogs

Introduction

In veterinary medicine, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is widely utilized for brain imaging. But the complex structures of brain tissues can give rise to artifacts such as partial volume averaging in conventional sequences. To address this issue, several studies about double inversion recovery (DIR) sequences have been conducted in human medicine. However, published clinical studies about brain MRI using DIR sequences in dogs are currently lacking. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the magnetic resonance features of single-slab 3D DIR sequences in the normal canine brain.

Methods

Five healthy Beagle dogs were examined and the following pulse sequences were acquired for each: (1) spin-echo T2-weighted (T2W), (2) fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR), (3) gray matter (GM) selective, and (4) white matter (WM) selective single-slab 3D DIR sequence. For qualitative analysis, the distinction between gray and white matter of the cerebral cortex, presence and severity of the image artifacts were assessed for each pulse sequence. In addition, reconstructed images of single-slab 3D DIR sequences were qualitatively evaluated. For quantitative analysis, contrast ratios (CRs), signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs), and contrast-to-noise ratios (CNRs) of the GM, WM and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were measured for each pulse sequence.

Results and Discussion

GM selective 3D DIR was superior to T2W and FLAIR in delineating the boundaries between GM and WM in the overall brain area. Whereas WM selective 3D DIR provided better gray-white matter distinction of the cerebral cortex than T2W and FLAIR at the level of the medulla oblongata, where T2W and FLAIR images exhibited severe partial volume averaging artifacts. In general, the 3D DIR images demonstrated fewer artifacts compared to other sequences, and the reconstructed sagittal and dorsal images of these sequences maintained same spatial resolution as the original transverse images without any image degradation. Both gray and white matter selective 3D DIR sequences effectively suppressed unwanted signals, thereby providing high contrast between gray and white matter. Findings from this study could serve as a foundation for further studies on DIR sequences for the evaluation of brain diseases in dogs.

An Optical 1×4 Power Splitter Based on Silicon–Nitride MMI Using Strip Waveguide Structures
Authors: Frishman Aviv , Malka Dror
Published: July 2023

This paper presents a new design for a 1 × 4 optical power splitter using multimode interference (MMI) coupler in silicon nitride (Si3N4) strip waveguide structures. The main functionality of the proposed design is to use Si3N4 for dealing with the back reflection (BR) effect that usually happens in silicon (Si) MMI devices due to the self-imaging effect and the higher index contrast between Si and silicon dioxide (SiO2). The optimal device parameters were determined through numerical optimizations using the beam propagation method (BPM) and finite difference time domain (FDTD). Results demonstrate that the power splitter with a length of 34.6 μm can reach equal distribution power in each output port up to 24.3% of the total power across the O-band spectrum with 0.13 dB insertion loss and good tolerance MMI coupler parameters with a shift of ±250 nm. Additionally, the back reflection range over the O-band was found to be 40.25–42.44 dB. This demonstrates the effectiveness of the incorporation using Si3N4 MMI and adiabatic input and output tapers in mitigating unwanted BR to ensure that a good signal is received from the laser. This design showcases the significant potential for data-center networks, offering a promising solution for efficient signal distribution and facilitating high-performance and reliable optical signal routing within the O-band range. By leveraging the advantages of Si3N4 and the MMI coupler, this design opens possibilities for advanced optical network architectures and enables efficient transmission of optical signals in the O-band range.
Real-Time Ocean Current Compensation for AUV Trajectory Tracking Control Using a Meta-Learning and Self-Adaptation Hybrid Approach
Authors: Zhang Yiqiang , Che Jiaxing , Hu Yijun , Cui Jiankuo , Cui Junhong
Published: July 2023

Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) may deviate from their predetermined trajectory in underwater currents due to the complex effects of hydrodynamics on their maneuverability. Model-based control methods are commonly employed to address this problem, but they suffer from issues related to the time-variability of parameters and the inaccuracy of mathematical models. To improve these, a meta-learning and self-adaptation hybrid approach is proposed in this paper to enable an underwater robot to adapt to ocean currents. Instead of using a traditional complex mathematical model, a deep neural network (DNN) serving as the basis function is trained to learn a high-order hydrodynamic model offline; then, a set of linear coefficients is adjusted dynamically by an adaptive law online. By conjoining these two strategies for real-time thrust compensation, the proposed method leverages the potent representational capacity of DNN along with the rapid response of adaptive control. This combination achieves a significant enhancement in tracking performance compared to alternative controllers, as observed in simulations. These findings substantiate that the AUV can adeptly adapt to new speeds of ocean currents.

Abstrak: Masuk agama Islam di Lembak pada Abad 18, awal mulanya dengan kitab khatam rayab berada di Desa Karang Baru/Merantau, Kecamatan Padang Ulak Tanding, Kabupaten Rejang Lebong. Sejarah kitab khatam rayab dalam tradisi Lembak terdapat suatu pusaka warisan leluhur sebuah Al-Qur'an kuno yang oleh masyarakat dinamakan Khatam Rayab. Sebelum masuknya Islam di Lembak dan masyarakat Lembak memakai adat bekatak sekubang dan judi sabung ayam.  Al-Quran khatam rayab merupakan sebuah tradisi yang ada di Desa Karang Baru Provinsi Bengkulu. Al-Quran tersebut digunakan untuk keperluan pemecahan sebuah masalah sehingga seorang pencuri yang ingin meyakinkan bahwa dia bukan pencuri maka diadakannya sebuah sumpah menggunakan Al-Quran khatam rayab. Sebeleum melaksanakan sumpah maka pihak dari pemilik khatam melakukan sebuah ritual sedekah punjung kuning dan mengiris kemenyan. Dalam Islam praktek seperti ini merupakan perbuatan yang dilarang dan merupakan perbuatan syirik.
