Published: December 2021

Giant cell tumors (GCTs) are benign bone lesions which are treated with curettage and bone grafting. Infrequently, GCTs show local site recurrences which are then treated with either surgical excision or radiation therapy. Radiation-induced sarcoma is rarely seen as a late complication of radiation therapy which needs to be differentiated from recurrent GCT. We report one such rare case of radiation-induced sarcoma detected on Flourine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18F FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography in a 40-year-old male who was treated with radiation therapy for recurrent GCT 9 years ago.

Authors: Chinnappan Sheela , Chandra Piyush , Kumar John Santa , Chandran Ganesan , Nath Satish
Published: December 2021

Background:

Gallium-68-prostate-specific membrane antigen (68Ga-PSMA) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) has recently been shown to be very high accuracy in biopsy-naïve prostate cancer (PCa) detection and can potentially improve the low specificity noted with diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI), especially in instances of prostate inflammation. We aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of DW-MRI and PSMA PET/CT using apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and maximum standardized uptake (SUVmax) values in the diagnosis of PCa.

Patients and Methods:

A retrospective study comparing and analyzing the diagnostic accuracy of prebiopsy DW-MRI and 68Ga-PSMA PET/CTs done in patients with suspected PCa (raised prostate specific antigen [PSA] and/or positive digital rectal examination) from January 2019 to December 2020. The standard of reference was transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsies.

Results:

Sixty-seven patients were included in the study, mean age: 70 years (range 49–84), mean PSA: 23.2 ng/ml (range 2.97–45.6). Biopsy was positive for PCa in 56% (n = 38) and negative in 43% (n = 29). Of the benign results, benign hyperplasia was noted in 75% (n = 22) and prostatitis in 25% (n = 7). Of the PCa, 55% (n = 21) of were high International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) grade (4–5) and 45% (n = 17) low/intermediate ISUP grade (1–3). Overall the sensitivity/specificity/Accuracy for prediction of PCa of MRI using prostate imaging and reporting data system version 2 criteria and PSMA PET/CT using PCa molecular imaging standardized evaluation criteria was 92.1%/65.5%/80.5% and 76.3%/96.5%/85.1% respectively. Mean apparent diffusion co-efficient (mean ADC) value of benign lesions and PCa was 1.135 × 10-3 mm2/s and 0.723 × 10-3 mm2/s, respectively (P = 0.00001). Mean SUVmax and ADC of benign and PCa lesions was 4.01 and 16.4 (P = 0.000246). Mean SUVmax/ADC ratio of benign and malignant lesions was 3.8 × 103 versus 25.21 × 103 (P < 0.000026). Inverse correlation was noted between ADC and SUVmax values (R = −0.609), inverse correlation noted between ADC and Gleason's score (R = −0.198), and positive correlation of SUVmax and SUVmax/ADC with Gleason's score (R = 0.438 and R = 0.448). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed a SUVmax cutoff 6.03 (sensitivity/specificity - 76%/90%, area under the curve (AUC) - 0.935, Youden index (YI) - 0.66), ADC cutoff of 0.817 × 10−3 mm2/s (sensitivity/specificity – 79%/86%, AUC – 0.890, YI - 0.65), and SUVmax/ADC ratio cutoff of 7.43 × 103 (sensitivity/specificity – 87%/98%, AUC - 0.966, YI - 0.85) for PCa diagnosis.

Conclusion:

For diagnosis of biopsy-naïve PCas, the combination of diffusion-weighted MRI and PSMA PET/CT (i.e., SUVmax/ADC ratio) shows better diagnostic accuracy than either used alone and the combination of PET and MRI is especially useful when distinguishing cancer from prostatitis.

Published: December 2021

Gastric cancer is one of the important causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with significantly low median survival in metastatic gastric cancer. Thus, when planning treatment for gastric cancer, it becomes important to determine whether or not there is metastasis. Bone marrow is a rare region for metastasis in cases of gastric carcinoma, as suggested by the literature. We are herewith presenting the case of a 56-year-old patient of recurrent gastric carcinoma who showed a rare site of metastasis involving marrow on fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) scan.

Published: December 2021

Osteoblastoma accounts for approximately 1% of all primary bone tumors. We report F18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F18-FDG PET/CT) findings of an osteoblastoma in the rib of a 20-month-old girl child, who had fever with pain in the right shoulder for 4 months. This lesion was initially judged as a malignant bone tumor but a biopsy revealed it to be an osteoblastoma. The age of patient and predominant site of disease involvement contributes to uniqueness of our case. In our case, F18-FDG PET/CT has facilitated biopsy planning and ruled out other sites of disease involvement.

Authors: Purandare Nilendu C , Prakash Anjali , Shah Sneha , Agrawal Archi , Puranik Ameya D , Rangarajan Venkatesh
Published: December 2021

Objective:

The objective is to evaluate incidental detection of COVID-19 lung involvement in asymptomatic individuals who undergo fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography-computerized tomography (PET/CT) scans for oncologic indications.

Patients and Methods:

The study was conducted in a tertiary care oncology hospital and included patients who were asymptomatic for COVID-19 infection and underwent FDG PET/CT scans for standard oncologic indications between April 15, 2020, and September 30, 2020. Patients who showed CO-RADS category 4/5 changes (high level of suspicion) on the CT chest component of the PET/CT study were considered for analysis. CT severity score, presence of FDG uptake, and maximum standardized uptake value of FDG avid lung involvement were noted and correlated with reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test.

Results:

1982 PET/CT scans were performed, 78 (3.9%) patients showed lung changes with high degree of suspicion of COVID-19 pneumonia (CO-RADS 4/5). Hematolymphoid and head-neck cancer were the most common tumor types (23%), and restaging/response evaluation was the most common PET/CT indication. Of the patients who underwent RT-PCR testing, 70% showed a positive result. The mean CT severity score was 6 (standard deviation 5.9) with no significant difference seen between the RT-PCR positive and negative groups. FDG avidity in lung lesions was noted in 41 out 57 (72%) patients. A significant correlation was seen between the RT-PCR positivity and FDG uptake in lung lesions.

Conclusion:

A small but significant proportion of patients undergoing routine oncologic PET/CT scans showed incidental COVID-19 lung involvement. Lung involvement in these asymptomatic patients showed a low CT severity score in all patients and FDG avidity in majority. Timely detection of such incidental cases can initiate further confirmatory RT-PCR testing and isolation measures that not only influence patient's cancer treatment protocols but also have a larger community impact of limiting the spread of infection.

Published: December 2021

Purpose:

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has affected the entire health-care system and has led to a sense of fear and anxiety in the minds of patients. Patient's perceptions in this scenario of the pandemic are unknown. Providing continued care for cancer patients during the lockdown has been challenging. Measures are needed to improve patient safety and satisfaction during these challenging times and hence the importance of measuring the degree of satisfaction for the quality of care provided. The aim of the study was to evaluate the factors related to patients' satisfaction and also understand their apprehensions, fears, and anxieties they face as they receive radiotherapy treatment amid COVID-19 pandemic. The study's objective was to explore other aspects such as logistic issues, patient–staff communication, and also perceptions of the patients toward the outbreak.

Materials and Methods:

This study was conducted from April to September 2020. A questionnaire was created for which the patients were asked to provide answers. Parameters assessed included general information such as mode of transport used, frame of mind during treatment, awareness about pandemic, satisfaction toward care provided by health-care staff, and also documenting the suggestions to improve the quality of care.

Results:

During this period, we interviewed 108 patients: 56 males (51.9%) and 52 females (48.1%). 90.7% of the participants were satisfied with the condition and safety measures employed in waiting area and billing section. Majority (88.9%) were found to be aware about COVID-19. 74.1% of the participants were very satisfied with the services provided to them in the department of radiation oncology.

Conclusion:

The survey was useful in measuring the patient satisfaction, in understanding their fears and anxieties, and also in determining their awareness about the pandemic. The survey was also useful to get the patients' opinion and ideas for improvement in the health-care services.

Authors: Subramaniam Priya , Raj N Sneha , Papulwar Swati Manohar
Published: December 2021

Background and Objectives:

Dental caries is an infectious transmissible disease resulting from tooth-adherent specific bacteria, primarily Mutans streptococci. Fluoride varnish is an effective antimicrobial agent against Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans). The aim of the study was to evaluate the levels of S. mutans in children following application of a fluoride varnish containing CPP-ACP in mother–child pairs.

Materials and Methods:

Sixty children aged 18–36 months, at high caries risk along with their mothers formed the study group. Baseline levels of S. mutans in saliva of mothers and dental plaque of children was microbiologically assessed for S. mutans using the culture method. They were divided into three groups, consisting of 20 mother–child pairs. Group 1: Application of varnish to mother and saline as a placebo to child; Group 2: Applying varnish to child and saline as a placebo to mother; Group 3: Applying varnish to both mother and child. S. mutans levels in dental plaque of children were assessed at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. Data obtained were subjected to statistical analysis using one way analysis of variance, paired t-test and multiple Post hoc tukey. The level of Significance was considered at 5%

Results:

In all the groups, there was a significant reduction of S. mutans levels in dental plaque of children at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. The highest reduction in S. mutans was in Group 3 (95.33%) followed by (95.12%) in Group 2 and 40.6% in Group 1 (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:

Application of fluoride varnish containing CPP-ACP to the children gave equivocally significant reduction in S. mutans levels of dental plaque in children, as compared to applying in both mother and child.

Authors: Sruthi K. S. , Yashoda R. , Puranik P. Manjunath
Published: December 2021

Background:

Chlorhexidine is considered a gold standard among the chemical plaque control measures. Recently, a search for a natural alternative having similar effectiveness of that of chlorhexidine is gaining importance due to various side effects reported. Honey is a natural product with antibacterial properties that can be used to improve oral health. Manuka honey (MH) is considered superior due to its antibacterial properties. However, studies pertaining to effectiveness of MH and chlorhexidine on oral health are limited.

Aim:

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of MH and 0.2% chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX) mouthwash on reducing gingivitis and Streptococcus mutans count (SM).

Materials and Methods:

A randomized controlled trial blinded study was conducted among 12–15 years old children with (Decayed, Missing, Filled Teeth) scores of 1–4, plaque and gingival scores of 1–2 were selected, and an equal number of children (30 each) were randomly allocated to MH and CHX groups. Participants were instructed to rinse 5 ml of MH and 10 ml of CHX twice daily for 14 days. Unstimulated saliva was collected from the children, and plaque and gingival indices were assessed at baseline, 7th day, and 14th day. Unstimulated saliva was subjected to microbiological analysis for SM. Student's t-test and repeated-measures analysis of variance test were applied for inter- and intragroup comparison, respectively. P < 0.05 was considered significant.

Results:

There was no statistically significant difference in plaque and gingival scores and SM count between the groups at baseline, 7th day, and 14th day. Statistically significant reductions (P < 0.01) in plaque, gingival scores, and SM count were observed in both the groups at 7th and 14th day from baseline. No adverse events were reported during the trial.

Conclusion:

Effectiveness of MH was comparable with CHX mouthwash in reducing gingivitis and SM count. MH seems to be a promising antimicrobial agent effective in improving gingival health and reducing caries risk.

Published: December 2021

Background:

Burnout syndrome (BS) is related to work and is generally seen among health-care professionals including students. Students use various coping mechanisms to deal with stress and burnout and extracurricular activities are one among them.

Aim:

The aim of the study is to assess the burnout levels of dental students and its association with the indulgence in extracurricular activities (ECA).

Materials and Methods:

A cross-sectional questionnaire study was conducted among students of a deemed university dental school in south India. All the students from 1st year to 5th year (internship), both regular and supplementary batches were included. Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey was used to assess burnout which consists of 15 items on three domains emotional exhaustion (EE), cynicism (CY), and professional efficacy (PE). All the responses were scored on a five point Likert scale. Mann–Whitney U-test and Poisson log-linear model were used. A P ≤ 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.

Results:

A total of 208 participants were included in the final analyses. Majority of the participants were females (84.1%) and 1st-year students (26.4%). The mean age of the participants was 20.6 ± 1.8 years. The prevalence of BS was 19.7%. A significant difference was seen for the participation in ECA and all the three domains (EE, CY, PE) of BS (P values 0.029, 0.004 and 0.006, respectively).

Conclusion:

The prevalence of burnout can be considered as high among the participants. Early screening for burnout in dental students and effective interventions at earlier stages is required.

Authors: Singh Shila Kumari , Bhattacharjee Minakshi , Unni Balagopalan , Kashyap Rajpal Singh
Published: December 2021

Background:

Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are responsible for many hospital-acquired infections. Clindamycin (CL) is used to treat methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA) and MRSA. Antibiotic sensitivity testing (AST) can miss out the inducible CL resistance (CL-R) and result in failure of treatment. D-test detects inducible CL-R.

Subjects and Methods:

One hundred and ten S. aureus strains were tested. D-test was performed using erythromycin (ER) (15 mcg) and CL (2 mcg). The absence of inhibition around ER and a zone of inhibition around CL with flattening of the zone facing ER side is taken as positive D-test.

Results:

Of the total S. aureus strains, 36% were MRSA and 74% were MSSA. A total of 20 (18.18%) strains out of 110 were found to have inducible CL-R. In this study, MRSA (19.4%) were found to have higher percentage of D-test positivity as compared to MSSA (17.56%).

Conclusion:

D-test must be performed routinely as a part of AST for the presence of inducible phenotype.
Reimagining Tourism: COVID-19 and the Potential of Virtual Tourism in South Africa
Authors: Julia Refiloe Julia , Harilal Vyasha , Feni Azi
Published: December 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in massive degrowth of tourism economies, undoing years of progress in destinations around the world. The initial inability of tourists to travel and subsequent fall out from border closures, vaccination hurdles, the changing needs of tourists to travel targeted the very core of tourism. Despite the tourism sector being renowned for its resilience in relation to previous crises, the prolonged and unprecedented nature of this crisis has tested the most resilient of sectors. As part of South Africa’s tourism sector recovery plan, the domestic tourism sub-sector of the industry has been prioritised. However, even before the pandemic induced crisis, the performance of the domestic tourism sector called for attention. Thus, although disruptive, this crisis provides an opportunity for innovation within the sector. While innovations of virtual tourism could be suitable, an investigation into the willingness of tourists to engage in virtual tourism needs to be undertaken. The current paper seeks to address this gap. A quantitative research design was employed, with a total of 110 online surveys being completed by domestic tourists in South Africa. Key finds reveal that virtual tourism could assist in the promotion of a destination, particularly in the decision making processes of potential tourists, which had been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The study found that virtual tourism could increase the exposure and accessibility of tourism attractions in South Africa. Moreover, the results of the study reveal that while virtual tourism could enhance the tourist experience at the destination, it cannot replace traditional tourism. Recommendations emanating from this study relate to the inclusion of virtual tourism components as add ons to tourism attractions.
İNTİHAR EYLEMİNİN YAŞAM PRATİKLERİ ÇERÇEVESİNDE ve ZORUNLULUKLARA BAĞLI OLARAK ORTAYA KONMASININ SEBEPLERİ ÜZERİNE BİR YORUM
Authors: PEHLİVAN Meriç
Published: December 2021

Kavramsal çözümlemesi ve psikolojik durumla bağlantısı bir tarafa koyulacak olursa, intihar yaşam pratikleriyle de ilişkili bir eylem olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu demektir ki, bütün intiharlar, eyleme konu olan kişinin ruhsal durumuyla ilgili değildir. İntihar eden herkesin sıkıntılı bir ruhsal durumu olmayabilir ve bazıları birtakım dış etmenlerin onları soktuğu zorlayıcı durumlar karşısında bu eyleme yönelmek durumunda kalabilir. Kişisel sapmalar ya da yatkınlıklar ya da davranış bozuklukları neticesinde gerçekleşen intiharlar bir tarafa koyulur ve geri kalan intihar eylemleri göz önünde bulundurulursa, dikkatimizi toplumsal ve yönetimsel etmenlere çevirmek durumunda kalırız. Çünkü bu tarz intiharların bazı toplumlarda ve bazı yönetim usullerinde daha fazla görülmesi söz konusudur. Buradan yola çıkarak, bu durumu tetikleyen toplumlar ve yönetimsel boşluklar olduğunu iddia edebiliriz. Bu çalışma, tamamen kendi bakış açısı çerçevesinde konuya sadece bu açıdan yaklaşmayı amaçlamaktadır.

In this digital era, online shopping is kind of behaviour that many people do. E-commerce appears and can gradually replace the existence of conventional market. Especially, this behaviour increasing during this pandemic COVID-19. During the pandemic, there has been a change in habits and activities ranging from working from home, school from home to service trading activities starting to switch to an online service trading system. In order to manage sustainable urban planning, it is important to consider the likely effects of e-commerce. Increasing e-commerce can bring influence also impact to urban planning in a city. This research explores the consumer behaviour regarding e-commerce activities and the influence toward urban planning. DKI Jakarta is chosen as the study location and the policies related to the pandemic COVID-19 in Jakarta are also considered as a literature review. This research using expert judgement as a method of determining aspects of urban planning that are influenced by e-commerce activities and combining the analysis of planning documents and reports as well. Furthermore, e-commerce activities during pandemic COVID-19 in DKI Jakarta have several impacts in urban planning. The implication in urban planning still remains unclear since people still have hybrid consumer behaviour. Besides, it still takes a long time to see a significant impact toward e-commerce to urban planning in DKI Jakarta.

Authors: Henrique Stehling Oliveira Paulo , Barreto Douglas
Published: December 2021

RESUMO: Dentre os sistemas prediais o que mais tem potencial para apresentar manifestações patológicas é o sistema hidrossanitário. Existem diversas manifestações patológicas possíveis e uma delas é a contaminação da água potável no sistema de distribuição e armazenamento. Em algumas situações a água apresenta adequado padrão de potabilidade na fonte, mas no reservatório encontra-se contaminada. O método adotado consistiu de uma revisão bibliográfica, cujo objetivo foi mapear, identificar e classificar as principais causas de contaminação de água potável em sistemas prediais hidrossanitários em diversas bases de dados. Como resultado, foram identificadas diversas causas de contaminação, e estas foram classificadas em:  conexão cruzada; desgaste de materiais; tempo de armazenamento; manutenção; vedação; equipamentos; projeto; vandalismo/sabotagem; tratamento inadequado; e fonte. Pode-se concluir que as causas são diversas e que existem medidas a serem tomadas para evitá-las, e entre as recomendações pode-se concluir que há a necessidade de implantar uma cultura de manutenção e que o uso de reservatórios enseja muitos cuidados para garantir a qualidade da água no sistema de distribuição e consumo. Por fim, ressalta-se a importância de um projeto dos sistemas prediais hidrossanitários bem elaborado e atendendo as recomendações técnicas.
Comparação dos Padrões de Qualidade Exigidos por Diretrizes Nacionais e Internacionais para Aproveitamento de Água Pluvial
Authors: Eloize Borgert Aline , Ghisi Enedir
Published: December 2021

RESUMO:

Este trabalho tem como objetivo comparar o padrão de qualidade de água exigido pela norma brasileira de aproveitamento de água de chuva de coberturas para fins não potáveis, NBR 15527 (ABNT, 2019), com diretrizes nacionais e internacionais sobre o assunto. Foram analisadas legislações, manuais e normas brasileiras a respeito de água pluvial, água cinza, balneabilidade e potabilidade, além de diretrizes alemãs, estadunidenses e australianas sobre sistemas de aproveitamento de água pluvial. Inicialmente foram identificados os padrões de qualidade de água exigidos pelos documentos nacionais. A partir disso, foram constatadas semelhanças e divergências entre os requisitos de acordo com as finalidades de uso das águas. Posteriormente, o mesmo foi feito com os documentos internacionais. Comparando-se os dados obtidos com os requisitos da norma brasileira de água pluvial, verifica-se que há incoerência em suas exigências. Os resultados sugerem que a NBR 15527 (ABNT, 2019) é demasiadamente restritiva, apesar de ter sido modificada recentemente. Com base nos documentos estudados, foi elaborado um modelo como sugestão para a adequação da norma, com diferentes padrões de qualidade e finalidades de uso, visando melhor coerência com o cenário global atual.

RESUMO: A Moringa Oleífera (MO) é um coagulante natural que vem sendo utilizado para o tratamento de águas superficiais e residuárias, de modo a diminuir a quantidade de coagulantes químicos que são empregados para este fim. Este trabalho tem o objetivo de comparar o uso de dois coagulantes químicos (sulfato de alumínio – SA e nitrato de cálcio – NC) e de uma solução de Moringa Oleifera extraída em nitrato de cálcio (MO+NC) no tratamento de águas cinzas provenientes da máquina de lavar roupas. Os parâmetros avaliados foram pH, turbidez e volume de lodo gerado, cujos resultados foram comparados por meio do teste de Scott-Knott para a definição das dosagens ótimas de cada coagulante. Para o SA, a dosagem ótima foi de 3 ml L-1 e propiciou a redução de 98,9% na turbidez com pH igual a 6,0; para a MO+NC,  foi 25 ml L-1, com redução de 98,8% na turbidez e pH igual a 6,5. O uso do NC exclusivamente propiciou o aumento da turbidez em até 19,3%. Considerando-se apenas os parâmetros em estudo, verifica-se que a água tratada com MO+NC, poderia ser utilizada para o reúso de água residencial.

RESUMO:

A medição individualizada é uma realidade para os novos edifícios residenciais na maioria das cidades brasileiras e é entendida como requisito básico para a gestão da água e consequente controle de consumo, uma contribuição para a conservação da água nas edificações. No entanto, cabe ressaltar o desafio de tornar a gestão da água uma atividade presente no cotidiano, evitando ser lembrada somente quando da presença de crises de abastecimento ou de crise econômicas. Uma questão de permanente preocupação que precisa de ações inovadoras para adesão e educação da sociedade. A gamificação para o uso da água poderia auxiliar no alcance desse objetivo, trazendo os usuários permanentes ou moradores de um edifício a um ambiente interativo e competitivo para um resultado benéfico para todos. Traz-se uma reflexão para o futuro, quanto ao desenvolvimento de tecnologias que conectem os usuários ao conceito de conservação de água e a comunidade em que vivem, ficando uma oportunidade para a digitalização, estreitando o relacionamento dos usuários com o sistema predial.

Published: December 2021

Penyalahgunaan narkoba di Indonesia saat ini sangat memprihatinkan, terlihat dengan makin banyaknya pengguna narkoba dari semua kalangan khususnya anak-anak. Hal ini dikarenakan kurangnya informasi dan pengetahuan serta kurangnya perhatian dari orang tua dan lingkungan pergaulan tentang bahaya penyalahgunaan narkoba. Sedangkan selama ini penyampaian informasi dilakukan melalui penyuluhan, diskusi, dan mau pun hanya melalui media cetak atau buku. Sehinggga hal ini tentunya sangat kurang efektif dalam memberikan informasi tentang bahaya narkoba pada anak. Melihat hal tersebut, dan seiring dengan maraknya penggunaan teknologi bagi anak, penulis membuat sebuah edukasi digital pegenalan bahaya narkoba berbasis 3D dan Augmented Reality. Adapun hasil yang diharapkan dapat memberikan informasi bagi anak-anak usia dini dan membantu orang tua dalam memperkenalkan bahaya narkoba terhadap anak-anak.

The effect of moisture content on the mechanical properties of agricultural material is essential during design and adjustment of machines used during harvest, cleaning, separation, handling and storage. This study determined some mechanical properties of Black and Brown colored of watermelon seed grown in Nigeria under different moisture contents range of 6.5 to 27.8% (d.b). The results for the mechanical properties obtained ranged from 15.68-29.54 N for compressive force; 1.95-3.40 mm for compressive extension; 0.13-0.33 N mm-2 for compressive strength; and 0.17-1.93 kJ for deformation energy at vertical loading position while at horizontal loading position, results obtained ranged from 14.71-38.36 N for compressive force; 1.94-4.20 mm for compressive extension; 0.16-0.32 N mm-2 for compressive strength; and 1.47-76.39 kJ for deformation energy for Black colored watermelon seed. The compressive force, compressive extension, compressive strength, deformation energy ranged from 14.18-36.49 N, 1.85-5.20 mm, 0.19 0.76 N mm-2, 26.23-189.75 kJ at vertical loading position and 16.47-41.82 N, 1.68-11.08 mm, 0.34- 0.57 N mm-2, 27.67-319.99 kJ at horizontal loading position for Brown colored watermelon seed. The correlation between the mechanical properties and moisture content was statistically significant at (p≤0.05) level. It is also economical to load Black colored in vertical loading position at 27.8% moisture content and Brown colored in vertical loading position at 27.8% moisture content to reduce energy demand when necessary to crack or compress the seed. This research has generated data that are efficiently enough to design and fabricate processing and storage structures for Black and Brown water melon seeds.

Papua has a diversity of flora species, one of which is the Papuan Grape (Sararanga sinuosa Hemsley). It is commonly used by the Depapre community, Jayapura, as a stamina booster. This research aims to identify the secondary metabolite compounds, to test the cytotoxic activity of Papuan Grape (Sararanga sinuosa Hemsley) extract, and to determine the best concentration that inhabits the growth of Artemia salina larvae using the BSLT method. This study was conducted with the extraction stage using the maceration method by making use of 96% ethanol solvent. Subsequently, the concentration series 0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300 ppm of Papuan Grape (Sararanga sinuosa Hemsley) extract were made to test the cytotoxic activity on the mortality of Artemia salina shrimp larvae. The results showed that Alkaloids, Flavonoids, Saponins, and Tannins were compounded as secondary metabolite. An antioxidant research that had been carried out previously had LC50 of green-white fruit (12,49 ± 0,35 mg/ml), orange-red fruit (17,62 ± 3,49 mg/ml) and red fruit (12,23 ± 0,46 mg/ml). The community process one stalk of it into juice and used or consumed it two times a day. An inappropriate dose of traditional medicine usage can affect the organ system and had adverse effects in the future The result of cytotoxic research obtained the value of LC50 in ethanol extract of Papuan Grape was 140,863 ppm, and concentration of 250 ppm was the best concentration to inhibit the growth of shrimp larvae (Artemia salina L). The conclusion of this study was the ethanol extract of Papuan Grape (Sararanga sinuosa Hemsley) showed the highest cytotoxic activity and potentially become an anti-cancer agent.
Un viaje espacial y temporal: las mujeres bajo el poder patriarcal y dictatorial en 'Eni Furtado no ha dejado de correr' de Alicia Kozameh
Authors: Lyu Gaojie
Published: December 2021

En el presente trabajo se propone un análisis en torno al sufrimiento y la resistencia de las mujeres que buscan conseguir su propio espacio dentro del poder patriarcal y dictatorial, a través de un viaje espacial y temporal que constituye Alicia Kozameh en su novela Eni Furtado no ha dejado de correr. A lo largo de este artículo, se pretende visualizar la búsqueda del espacio literario de la autora misma; la movilidad espacial y temporal de las dos protagonistas; el dolor y el trauma causados por la represión patriarcal y dictatorial; ciertos espacios como representación del poder parental, y la lucha de las mujeres en contextos de violencia.

Eni Furtado no ha dejado de correr, que se publicó en 2013, es la sexta obra narrativa de la escritora argentina Alicia Kozameh (Rosario, 1953). En la novela, a través de varios puntos de vista que abarcan múltiples perspectivas, se configura un hecho central: el abuso sexual de una niña de diez años. Debido a su propia experiencia como encarcelada durante la dictadura militar de Argentina, Alicia Kozameh se ha dedicado a escribir sobre temas relacionados con la prisión y el exilio en sus primeras obras. Esta novela, en concreto, se considera como uno de los ejemplos más representativos entre sus últimas novelas narrativas, puesto que se centra en el espacio privado de la familia y el abuso sexual de menores; simultáneamente, incorpora otro hilo que manifiesta la violencia política y el exilio de manera implícita, creando así una analogía entre la violencia dictatorial y la represión patriarcal que sufren las mujeres. Todo ello abre un horizonte más amplio para representar la violencia y el trauma dentro del universo literario de Kozameh.

En definitiva, con este trabajo se espera aportar un punto de vista distinto, que contribuya a ampliar la reflexión en torno al género, el espacio y el poder.
Un Estado del Arte sobre mujeres y medio ambiente en México y Argentina: colectividades en defensa de la vida
Authors: Vanegas Díaz Alejandra Marcela
Published: December 2021

Actualmente, las mujeres se han organizado para defender sus cuerpos de la explotación y el sometimiento a las que se han visto sujetas por el modelo capitalista actual. Las similitudes de esta opresión con los mecanismos que amenazan la naturaleza, y que han sido alumbrados por los feminismos comunitarios y territoriales del sur global, han marcado el camino de organizaciones que priorizan el derecho a vivir una vida digna de ser vivida en armonía con el medio ambiente. El presente artículo realiza una revisión bibliográfica sobre los posicionamientos de algunos de los movimientos de mujeres en defensa del medio ambiente en distintos contextos geográficos y sociohistóricos. Para ello, se hace referencia a aquellos movimientos inscritos en México y Argentina y que abogan por una justicia ecológica interseccional. El trabajo propone cuatro recortes temáticos para agrupar dichos grupos en función de su especificidad: mujeres contra el extractivismo; mujeres por la soberanía alimentaria; mujeres contra el cambio climático y mujeres en la transición energética. Esta división se realiza con la finalidad de reconocer los matices de cada una de sus luchas, sin dejar de lado que todas y cada una de ellas ejercen un papel imponderable en la defensa de la vida en el continente, y que se ha vuelto clave para pensar y construir una transición ecológica justa.

The comparison of the catalytic activity of the initial and activated by bremsstrahlung -radiation on a high-current electron accelerator of zirconium dioxide nanoparticles on the nature of the conversion of ethanol. The used -activation parameters contributed to the formation of a more perfect crystal structure of ZrO2 nanoparticles. It was shown that when using -activated ZrO2 nanoparticles as a catalyst, the yield of hydrocarbon products during the conversion of ethanol was several times higher than the yield of the same products in the case of using the initial ZrO2 nanoparticles. The mechanism of such a conversion of ethanol can be associated with the synergism of large ionization losses of Auger electrons and the effect of highly reactive products involved in heterogeneous catalysis.

The paper presents some results of experimental studies of the excitation of wake fields and the acceleration of electrons in waveguide-dielectric structures (DS) upon injection of a sequence of electron bunches into them. Exper-iments have shown an increase in the amplitude of the wake wave and the acceleration of a small fraction of elec-trons when the wavelength of the excited field is equal to the doubled bunch length. A simple physical model of the observed phenomenon is given. Also, the paper proposes a method for accelerating a part of each electron bunch in the steady-state mode of the resonator dielectric structure. Some of the electrons are “cut out” by the collimator and enter the accelerating phase of the previously excited wake wave. The wave is displaced due to the difference in the distances traveled by the wave and the accelerated part of the electrons.
