THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON SEDIMENT TRANSPORT CAPACITY: A CASE STUDY OF THE BOUBO COASTAL WATERSHED
Authors: Karim Coulibaly Lenikpoho , Coulibaly Naga
Published: August 2024

For soil erosion modeling, determining sediment transport capacity (Tc) is essential because it plays a key role in sediment detachment, transport, and deposition research. This paper provides insights into the seasonal spatial distribution of sediment transport capacity, excess runoff depth in response to the distribution of precipitation, and land use at a watershed scale, using SCN Curve Number (CN) method, Remote Sensing (RS), and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Spatial distribution in runoff production on hillslopes and sediment transport are explained. We integrated the effect of slope gradient in the curve number to model the landscape effect on sediment transport. The findings show that seasonal variation in sediment transport capacity is influenced by climate change. During June and October, the transport capacity is higher and coincides with channel areas in the Boubo watershed. Potential applications of this map may help the decision-maker to deal with problems associated with watershed development and management.

Published: August 2024

The rapid rate of urbanization in third world countries leads to rapid land-use land cover change. Thus, managing the land-use land cover change of the town is important for the proper urbanization process. To analyze the land-use land cover (LULC) change, multi-temporal and high-resolution aerial, geospatial techniques of GIS, remote sensing and satellite imagery methods were used. Results of this study revealed that the LULC coverage of forest, grasslands, and agricultural areas of the town rapidly decreased and converted to built-up areas. To control the rapid LULC change of the town, greenbelt principles have to be promoted. Hence, accordingly, findings of this research conclude that the town administration has to plan to acquire aerial photography of the town every three years to sustain the sustainable development.
EXPLORING THE ECOLOGICAL CONSEQUENCES OF DEFORESTATION IN TROPICAL RAINFORESTS
Authors: Hosen Bappa
Published: August 2024

Tropical rainforests, characterized by their remarkable biodiversity and critical role in climate regulation, face unprecedented threats from deforestation. This research seeks to comprehensively explore the ecological consequences of deforestation in tropical rainforests by synthesizing existing literature and empirical studies. Our objectives encompass assessing the impacts on biodiversity, climate, and ecosystem services, while also examining conservation efforts and policy recommendations. The analysis of biodiversity impacts reveals that deforestation disrupts complex ecosystems, leading to species extinctions, altered ecological interactions, and genetic diversity loss. These effects resonate across taxonomic groups, affecting both well-known and lesser-known species. Deforestation’s relationship with climate change is a central concern. We find that tropical rainforests act as vital carbon sinks, and their degradation exacerbates global warming. Deforestation-induced changes in precipitation patterns and greenhouse gas emissions further highlight the interconnectedness of these ecosystems with climate dynamics. Ecosystem services, including water purification, pollination, and cultural values, are compromised by deforestation, impacting local communities and global society. Effective conservation strategies, such as protected areas and reforestation initiatives, offer hope, but face challenges of scale and implementation. Drawing on case studies from diverse tropical rainforest regions, we illustrate the variation in ecological consequences, emphasizing the need for context-specific solutions. Overall, It examines the causes and drivers of deforestation, the ecological functions of rainforests, and the impacts of deforestation on biodiversity, carbon cycling, climate, and local communities. The paper also discusses conservation efforts and policy implications for mitigating these consequences, this research underscores the urgent need for collective action to combat deforestation in tropical rainforests. The implications of this study inform policy recommendations, emphasizing the importance of international agreements and multi-stakeholder collaboration. Our findings highlight the imperative to protect these irreplaceable ecosystems to safeguard biodiversity, mitigate climate change, and preserve the ecosystem services they provide for present and future generations.

Recurrent infections are a hallmark of STAT3 dominant-negative hyper-IgE syndrome (STAT3 HIES), a rare immunodeficiency syndrome previously known as Jobs syndrome, along with elevated IgE levels and impaired neutrophil function. We have been developing nanoparticles with neutrophil trophism that home to the sites of infection via these first-responder leukocytes, named neutrophil-avid nanocarriers (NANs). Here, we demonstrate that human neutrophils can phagocytose nanogels (NGs), a type of NAN, with enhanced uptake after particle serum opsonization, comparing neutrophils from healthy individuals to those with STAT3 HIES, where both groups exhibit NG uptake; however, the patient group showed reduced phagocytosis efficiency with serum-opsonized NANs. Proteomic analysis of NG protein corona revealed complement components, particularly C3, as predominant in both groups. Difference between groups includes STAT3 HIES samples with higher neutrophil protein and lower acute-phase protein expression. The study suggests that despite neutrophil dysfunction in STAT3 HIES, NANs have potential for directed delivery of cargo therapeutics to improve neutrophil infection clearance.

Published: August 2024

Synaptic proteins need to be replaced regularly, to maintain function and to prevent damage. It is unclear whether this process, known as protein turnover, relates to synaptic morphology. To test this, we relied on nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry, to detect newly synthesized synaptic components in the brains of young adult (6 mo old) and aged mice (24 mo old), and on transmission electron microscopy, to reveal synapse morphology. Several parameters correlated to turnover, including pre- and postsynaptic size, the number of synaptic vesicles and the presence of a postsynaptic nascent zone. In aged mice, the turnover of all brain compartments was reduced by ∼20%. The turnover rates of the pre- and postsynapses correlated well in aged mice, suggesting that they are subject to common regulatory mechanisms. This correlation was poorer in young adult mice, in line with their higher synaptic dynamics. We conclude that synapse turnover is reflected by synaptic morphology.

Authors: Sriraman Thiyagarajan
Published: August 2024

Patients seeking orthodontic treatment often prioritize aesthetics, and aesthetics play a significant role in orthodontic care. Researchers have developed a range of options, such as ceramic or composite braces, lingual orthodontics, and transparent aligners, to meet the growing demand for alternatives to traditional braces. Clear aligner therapy, which consists of a series of transparent dental appliances designed to fit the shape of a patient's teeth, is one such alternative. Clear aligners, like traditional braces, use a progressive force to control tooth movement, but they do so without metal brackets or wires. This review will highlight the increasing popularity of clear aligners by summarizing a few commonly used systems today. It will also discuss the therapeutic outcomes of this approach, including its scope, limitations, effectiveness, and stability. Additionally, the review will evaluate the potential negative effects of clear aligner therapy.

Authors: Romadhon Dzikri Rahmat , Muslim M Adam Buchori , Suwarna Iwan Permana
Published: August 2024

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Video-Based Laboratories (VBL) in enhancing critical thinking skills among state Islamic senior high school (Madrasah Aliyah Negeri) students in Hulu Sungai Tengah, Kalimantan Selatan, specifically in the context of rotational dynamics. Using a quasi-experimental design, we compared the performance of an experimental group that utilized VBL with a control group that followed traditional teaching methods. Data were collected through pretest and posttest assessments on critical thinking skills, and various statistical analyses were performed, including the paired samples t-test, Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and Mann-Whitney U test. The findings indicated significant improvements in critical thinking skills for both groups; however, the experimental group demonstrated substantially greater gains. This suggested that VBL, through interactive and hands-on learning methods, effectively enhanced critical thinking skills in physics education. The results underscored the potential of integrating VBL into physics curricula to foster deeper understanding and reflective reasoning. Future research should explore the long-term impacts of VBL and its application in diverse educational settings.

Published: August 2024

Considerando a importância da extensão na academia, o Plano Nacional de Educação estabelece que as atividades extensionistas devem compor, no mínimo, 10% do total de créditos curriculares exigidos para graduação, o que requer inúmeros reordenamentos pedagógicos e institucionais. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar as percepções de discentes da área da Saúde de uma Instituição de Ensino Superior Pública Estadual de Alagoas sobre o processo de curricularização da Extensão Universitária. Estudo exploratório, de abordagem qualitativa, teve como instrumento de coleta de dados a entrevista semiestruturada com onze discentes que tinham, no mínimo, dois anos de experiência em projetos de Extensão da Universidade. Os dados foram analisados com a técnica de análise de conteúdo de Bardin, na modalidade temática. As categorias delineadas foram: curricularização da extensão na visão do discente; habilidades e competências desenvolvidas na extensão universitária; entraves e desafios da curricularização da extensão. Com base nessas categorias, inferimos que as discussões sobre o tema ainda são incipientes na realidade local, necessitando de maior esclarecimento de todos os atores que compõe a Universidade. Entretanto, isto também destaca a importância de a comunidade acadêmica construir, coletivamente, mecanismos que ampliem a valorização, o reconhecimento da extensão como dimensão formativa e a possibilidade de transformação pedagógica.

Our institution has performed AHSCT for MM since 1991, and in this study, we sought to retrospectively examine the outcomes of 303 MM patients who underwent AHSCT from 1991-2021. We focused on Overall Survival (OS) and Progression-Free Survival (PFS) in patients in addition to Landmark survival (1-year post-transplantation). We found that in elderly patients > 70 years of age there was no significant difference in OS at 12 years, with 51% for patients < 70 years of age and 50% > 70; these were the same numbers for PFS at 12 years as well. We also found that median overall survival is improving overall with each decade in our transplanted MM patients with patient survival improved to over > 80% regardless of age at 7 years, when the previous median overall survival was 6 - 6.6 years before 2001. Given our findings, supported by others, we show that survival is continually improving over time in MM AHSCT patients and that AHSCT can be performed safely with equivalent landmark and long-term PFS and OS in patients of advanced age.

ABSTRAK

Tuna netra merupakan kondisi seseorang yang memiliki kekurangan fisik atau cacat dalam indra penglihatannya. Berdasarkan tingkat gangguannya Tunanetra bisa dibagi menjadi dua bagian yaitu buta total (total blind) dan mempunyai sisa penglihatan (low vision).Alat bantu tuna netra pada umumnya kebanyakan hanya menggunakan tongkat untuk mobilitasnya yaitu menggunakan tongkat khusus, yang berciri-ciri khas tongkat berwarna putih dengan garis merah horizontal. Pada penelitian ini diciptakan atau mencoba inovasi lain yaitu berupa Gelang khusus tunanetra dimana di tambahkan dengan sentuhan teknologi yang diharapkan dapat memabantu tuna netra saat berjalan dan membantu tuna netra.
Pada studi kasus yang dibuat oleh penulis bisa diambil sebagian kesimpulan yang hendak dibahas pada rancangan ini bisa mendeteksi dari 2 arah (depan, dan kanan). Dengan menggunakan keluaran berupa getar yang dihasilkan pada motor getar (dc) serta bunyi sebagai alat tambahan yang dihasilkan oleh buzzer. Rancangan ini dapat mendeteksi jarak paling jauh yaitu sekitar 170 cm agar selisih jarak tidak signifikan, serta keluaran tersebut memberi sinyal atau nilai dalam bentuk PWM dan di olah menjadi berupa percepatan motor getar dengan satuan Rpm, karena untuk menganalisa bagaimana cara kerja sistem fuzzy dan bagaimana perbedaan jika menggunakan fuzzy dengan tidak menggunakan fuzzy dari penelitian penulis menggunakan fuzzy yaitu khususnya fuzzy inference sistem mamdani tersebut, bagaimana sistem atau algoritma fuzzy tersebut bisa mengatur dan mengendalikan keluaran dari motor getar(dc) yang berupa intensitas laju atau pelanya pada motor getar(dc) tersebut, dimana saat sensor ultrasonik memberi data berupa jarak suatu objek ke arduino pada penelitian yang dibuat berupa implementasi fuzzy inference sistem mamdani untuk mengontrol motor getar(dc) pada gelang khusus tuna netra.

Kata Kunci: Tuna netra,Sensor ultrasonic,Fuzzy inference sistem,Motor getar(dc), intensitas.
