Medical conscience clause in view of the Constitutional Tribunal ruling of 7 October 2015
Authors: Pielarz Pamela
Published: February 2024

Trybunał Konstytucyjny miał rozstrzygnąć zagadnienie w przedmiocie stosowania przez lekarzy klauzuli sumienia w praktyce, co też uczynił. Clou rozstrzygnięcia dotyczy stosowania owej klauzuli w przypadkach zbiorczo nazwanych niecierpiącymi zwłoki. Na podstawie analizy wyroku Trybunału Konstytucyjnego z dnia 7 października 2015 roku można stwierdzić, że Trybunał uznał nadrzędność lekarskiego sumienia nad obowiązkiem udzielenia pomocy medycznej w tych wszystkich przypadkach, w których pomoc ta jest niezbędna. Umożliwia to lekarzom odmowę udzielenia pomocy lekarskiej w sytuacjach, w których nie występuje bezpośrednie zagrożenie dla życia pacjenta. Odmowa udzielenia świadczenia medycznego może jednak powodować powstanie owego zagrożenia, a zatem pomoc ta jest bezwzględnie konieczna, gdyż jej brak może skutkować negatywnymi następstwami dla zdrowia i życia pacjenta. W konsekwencji wydanego wyroku przez Trybunał Konstytucyjny i nowelizacji ustawy o zawodach lekarza i lekarza dentysty pacjent utracił możliwość uzyskania pomocy medycznej w tzw. przypadkach niecierpiących zwłoki, czyli w takich, w których nieudzielenie pomocy przez lekarza skutkować może powstaniem bezpośredniego zagrożenia dla zdrowia i życia kuracjusza. Celem artykułu było przybliżenie na podstawie analizy jakościowej wyroku Trybunału Konstytucyjnego stosowania przez lekarzy nowego modelu medycznej klauzuli sumienia w praktyce opartej na zawężonym zakresie udzielanych świadczeń zdrowotnych, jak również nakreślenie zagrożeń wynikających z nowelizacji ustawy o zawodach lekarza i lekarza dentysty w przedmiotowym zakresie.
Spiritual dimension of organizational collective engagement: Scale development and validation
Authors: Rozak Hasan Abdul , Fachrunnisa Olivia
Published: February 2024

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new dimension of organizational collective engagement (OCE), namely spiritual engagement. This dimension proposes spiritual engagement, which is considered to increase the bundle of engagement as a whole at the organizational level. We collected data from 107 employees who worked in various agencies in Indonesia. We tested the validity and reliability of the proposed indicators of OCE and spiritual engagement using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. This study enhances the literature in the field of human resource development, especially in OCE, with the Islamic dimension of spiritual engagement. The findings reveal that there are 10 valid and reliable indicators that can be used to measure the concept of OCE among employees in Indonesia. OCE with four dimensions (physical, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual) can be an effort to increase organizational effectiveness through the collective engagement of all employees. Since this research is limited to Indonesia, further studies are needed in institutions around the world so that the consistency of the results can be justified.

O presente artigo propõe-se a realizar uma análise sobre o manejo da tuberculose nasal em um ambiente ambulatorial, com o objetivo de compreender as práticas correntes e identificar novas perspectivas para o tratamento e acompanhamento desta condição. A tuberculose é uma doença infecciosa e globalmente prevalente causada pelo Mycobacterium tuberculosis, no qual apresenta-se tipicamente com manifestações pulmonares, contudo, a incidência de casos com envolvimento nasal vem despertando o interesse da comunidade médica devido às suas implicações diagnósticas e terapêuticas. Neste contexto, o artigo foca na importância do reconhecimento precoce e do tratamento adequado da tuberculose nasal, ressaltando a relevância dessa abordagem no cenário ambulatorial, onde a maioria dos pacientes realiza o primeiro contato com o sistema de saúde. A metodologia adotada consiste em uma revisão de literatura, na qual foram selecionados e analisados artigos científicos, estudos de caso e revisões bibliográficas publicados nos últimos dez anos em bases de dados confiáveis, permitindo uma compilação atualizada das informações disponíveis sobre a tuberculose nasal, abrangendo aspectos como epidemiologia, manifestações clínicas, métodos diagnósticos e opções terapêuticas. Os resultados obtidos a partir desta revisão evidenciam que, apesar da tuberculose nasal ser uma forma menos comum da doença, sua detecção e manejo adequados são imprescindíveis para evitar complicações e a disseminação da infecção. Foi observado que as manifestações clínicas da tuberculose nasal são variadas, o que pode levar a atrasos no diagnóstico. Ainda, destacou-se a importância de métodos diagnósticos específicos para essa manifestação da doença, incluindo técnicas de imagem e análises microbiológicas. Quanto ao tratamento, os estudos analisados apontam para a eficácia do regime terapêutico padrão para tuberculose, com adaptações conforme a gravidade e especificidades de cada caso.

TRAJETÓRIAS EDUCACIONAIS PÓS-ESTRUTURALISTAS: NEGRITUDE E TRANS-MASCULINIDADE NAS ESCOLAS
Authors: OLIVEIRA Apolo Vincent Silva de
Published: February 2024

This article arises through the biographical method applied to data collected in field research carried out with two black subjects, with male gender identity. Here, educational aspects that are intertwined with notions of race and gender will be gathered. To analyze the roles assumed by language in the action of construction of these subjectivities in contact with educational ideological devices. The professional performances of educators are analyzed as agents that produce perceptions of themselves and the world for subjects whose school trajectories are marked by repression. Violence appears as an epiphenomenon of violence internalized by raped students. One of the main inferences of violence found is through interpellations that interfere in the formation of the psychic life of subjects crossed by race and gender. The structuring national bases of eugenic public policies also appear as precursors of age-grade distortions and low educational esteem of trans blacks in schools.

Published: February 2024

This papper aims to propose the neologism Iwe, which, in our opinion, poses a "new" subjectivity that, although it does not get rid of the I, produces egos (in the framework of the Nietzschean text and , more specifically in light of the contemporary rereading that took place around Thus Spoke Zarathustra), that is, multiple and perhaps contradictory identities, within the framework of identity patterns. But these egos cohabit in a field of forces that is traversed by difference because it relies on others.

Published: February 2024

Calcium carbonate is present in many biological structures such as bivalve shell, which is composed mainly of two CaCO3 polymorphs: calcite and aragonite. However, exist other forms of calcium carbonate like vaterite and amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) that are not commonly reported. Polymorph selection is influenced by salt concentration, cofactor ions, and the presence of shell matrix proteins (SMPs) which regulates calcium carbonate deposition, among other factors. In this study, calcium carbonate crystallization in vitro of four different saline solutions at two molarities was evaluated with increased concentrations of the Ps19 protein, an insoluble extracted protein from the shell of Pteria sterna, previously described as a promotor of aragonite platelet crystallization. In vitro crystallizations showed that Ps19 is capable to induce aragonite and calcite deposition in a dose-dependent manner, but also vaterite under ciertan conditions, acting as a promoter and inhibitor of crystallization. The results contribute to understand how Ps19 control precipitation of calcium polymorphs in the growth of the prismatic and nacre layer of the shell of P. sterna.

Published: February 2024

Solution-processing is a low-cost solution method to preparea variety of organic or inorganic thin films. For metal oxide compounds, a solution-processing solution of an organometallic compound is frequently used as a precursor to be spin coated, followed by a thermal annealing to form metal oxide. In this work, vanadium oxide powders are obtained from a simple acid-base reaction, and then they are dispersed in isopropyl alcohol to form a solution for spin-coating. Different amount of cobalt salt are also added together with VOx into isopropyl alcohol to form VOx:Co2+ solutions. After thermal annealing at 200 °C, continuous transparent thin films are obtained. Optical, structural, morphological and chemical binding energies of those films are analyzed. It is found that amorphous VO2:Co2+ compound is formed in those films with V:Co atomic ratios between 6.6:1 and 1.6:1. Optical absorption onsets of those films are around 2.3 eV. An interesting interconnected porous morphology is observed when the atomic ratio of V:Co is around 4.9:1. It is concluded that porous amorphous cobalt doped vanadium oxide thin films can be obtained from a spin-coating process at low annealing temperature from a simple solution without any complex agent.

Published: February 2024

Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is the main auxin in plants and controls various physiological and biochemical processes such as cell elongation and division, tissue differentiation, responses to light and gravity, and response to biotic stress and abiotic. Therefore, the objective of the work was to evaluate the effect of foliar application of high concentrations of IAA (0.5, 1, 2, and 3 mM) plus a control (distilled water) on agronomic and metabolomic variables in melon seedlings. The results indicate that for agronomic variables, IAA at a concentration of 0.5 mM improved height by 20.98 %, compared to the control, and after 1 mM it began to decrease as IAA concentration increased. For the total fresh and dry biomass, it can be seen that the control and the 0.5 mM concentration were statistically equal, however, from 1 mM the biomass began to decrease as the IAA concentration increased. Regarding the biomolecules, an increase in chlorophylls (a, b and total), flavonoids, antioxidant capacity and proteins is observed as the IAA concentration rises. The 0.5, 1, and 2 mM IAA treatments increased the concentration of carotenoids by 11.76, 11.76 and 8.82 %, respectively, compared to the control, however, with the 3 mM concentration they began to decrease, but still exceeded the control. It is concluded that from the concentration of 1 mM of IAA the agronomic characteristics of the seedlings began to decrease, therefore, it is recommended that concentrations below 0.5 mM of IAA are used to be able to elucidate how lower concentrations work. Regarding the metabolomic variables, they increased as the IAA concentration.

Background: The use of non-conventional food sources is a key element in facing the current problems derived from climate change and food shortages that demand the establishment of new sustainable feeding systems for ruminants. Moreover, densification methods like pelleting constitute a way to improve the quality and acceptability as well as to facilitate the handling of supplements. The objective of this study was to evaluate Huizache leaves and agave bagasse incorporated into granulated and pelletized concentrates and their effects on methane production and in vitro fermentation patterns in ruminant diets. Methods: A protein concentrate granulated and pelletized containing Huizache leaves and agave bagasse were mixed with a high-quality forage (alfalfa hay) using a 2×3 factorial arrangement with a total of six treatments. In each treatment were determined crude protein, carbohydrates, in vitro digestibility, in vitro gas, methane, carbon dioxide, volatile fatty acids, ammoniacal nitrogen and microbial nitrogen. The variables were submitted to an analysis of variance using the procedure MIXED SAS and statistical differences were declared at P less than 0.05. Result: There was an interaction (P less than 0.01) between concentrate source (granulated vs pelleted) and relation (alfalfa hay + concentrate source) on maximum gas production “A” (P less than 0.05). Also, there was an interaction between concentrate source (granulated vs pelleted) and relation (alfalfa hay: concentrated) on microbial nitrogen production (P less than 0.05). The microbial nitrogen production increased in 55 % with pelleted concentrate in relation to granulated concentrate (P less than 0.05).

Published: February 2024

Aims and scope: Occupational noise exposure is a well-known factor of hearing loss and other health related problems. Its contribution on burnout and health related quality of life, particularly when there is no hearing loss is less well studied. Herein we aim to study the effect of noise on the responses of normal hearing industrial workers on validated instruments. Methods: 384 industrial workers from three pharmaceutical companies with normal hearing were stratified into two groups: a noise-exposure group (n=195) and a nonexposure group (n=125). In addition to basic demographic characteristics, factors such as smoking, and BMI were examined alongside responses to the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI) and SF-36 questionnaire. Findings: The noise-exposure group exhibited a higher prevalence of smokers (p<0.01), a slightly elevated median BMI (p=0.04) and reported more pronounced exhaustion as measured by the OLBI (p=0.03). Furthermore, they exhibited poorer responses in various dimensions of the SF-36 questionnaire, particularly in bodily pain (p<0.01), physical functioning (p=0.03), physical role functioning (p=0.02) and emotional role functioning (p<0.01) scales. Conclusion: Occupational noise exposure, even in the absence of hearing loss, is associated with a higher prevalence of burnout symptoms and an overall reduced health-related quality of life among industrial workers. These insights underscore the need for proactive measures to mitigate noise exposure's adverse impact on employee wellbeing and productivity in noisy work environments, independently of the findings in their audiometric results.
Clarification of Water Stress in Apple Seedlings Using HSI Texture with Machine Learning Technique
Authors: An Yanying , Wang Ran
Published: February 2024

Apples are known for their nutrition and economic value. Accurate and rapid diagnosis of water status in apple seedlings on an individual rootstock basis is a prerequisite for precision water management. This study presents a rapid and non-destructive approach for estimating water content in apple seedlings at leaf levels. A PIKA L system collects hyperspectral images(400-1000nm) of apple leaves. To the author's knowledge, no prior work was conducted using the spectral-texture approach in plant water stress. Our research extracts spatial information, gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM), from feature wavelength images of hypercubes. Machine learning methods are applied to these spatial feature matrixs to identify apple leaves under different water stresses. In addition, differences in spectral responses were analysed using machine learning techniques for sorting apple seedlings with varying water treatments (dry, normal, and overwatering). Also, we measure chlorophyll to determine the relationship between hyperspectral characteristics and physiological changes. The achievements of the research indicate that the fusion of texture and hyperspectral imaging coupled with machine learning techniques is promising and presents a powerful potential to determine the water stress in the leaves of apple seedlings.

Published: February 2024

On February 6, 2023, 7.8-magnitude earthquake occurred in Kahramanmaraş, Türkiye. This earthquake was one of the most devastating disasters to hit Türkiye, resulting in an official death count of over 45,000. In this study, we aimed to determine the injury patterns of the patients who were consulted to the physical therapy and rehabilitation clinic after the Kahramanmaraş earthquake, and to ensure that their physicians were better prepared for possible earthquakes. Our study was completed between February and June 2023. All patients, male and female, who had earthquake-related injuries and were consulted to the physical therapy unit were included. Discharged patients were screened retrospectively. Inpatients were investigated prospectively. A total of 220 patients were included in the study. The patients were examined in terms of age, gender, date of application, pain score, time under the dent, complaint at admission, additional disease, type of injury, and treatment applied. Statistical analyzes were performed using SPSS version 22.0 software. The most frequently affected age group was 15-30 years old. The most common complaints were pain, limitation of movement and difficulty in walking. The most common surgical procedures are fasciotomy, internal fixation, and amputation. The most commonly injured limbs are the lower extremities. The most common level of amputation was transtibial amputation. After the earthquake, patients need physical therapy and rehabilitation. The knowledge and experience of the physicians of the relevant branches about the frequently observed injury patterns should be increased. This study is generally in line with most other studies reporting the epidemiology of injury after earthquakes. However, there is no standardization among the studies. Therefore, standardization in reporting earthquake injuries is necessary for evidence-based response policy planning after natural disasters.

Authors: Brown Karen , McCoskey Makayla , Nakra Tanuj
Published: February 2024

Autologous fat grafting is a commonly performed procedure for facial volume augmentation and rejuvenation. While overall complication rates in the literature are low, adverse events related to fat grafting can range from minor to systemic and severe. It is crucial that the surgeon be aware of these potential complications, counsel patients appropriately, and take the necessary steps to mitigate these risks. Local graft site complications include contour irregularity, over- or under-volumization, prolonged edema and ecchymosis, fat necrosis, granuloma formation, and infection. Similar complications can also be seen at the donor sites, including contour irregularity, prolonged induration or erythema, infection, and skin pigmentation changes. Finally, the most severe complications, resulting from fat embolism due to intravascular injection, can result in vision loss or stroke. In this review, risk factors for adverse events, surgical techniques to mitigate risk, and potential treatment options for complications of autologous fat grafting are reviewed.

Published: February 2024

Groundwater is one water source to meet the needs of humans, animals, and plants. The groundwater potential of an area is usually difficult to determine because it is below the [1]surface. The Indonesian government has a program to develop a food estate in Central Sumba Regency; however, the availability of surface irrigation water is limited. Therefore, the assessment of groundwater potential was conducted. In this study, the evaluation of groundwater potential was carried out using geophysical methods and a hydrogeological survey. The resistivity of subsurface rocks was measured in 20 VES points by Schlumberger configuration. The area of the food estate in Central Sumba is mainly composed of limestone that forms a karst landscape. The groundwater level from the existing well is around 2-16 meters from the surface. The potential of rock as an aquifer is limestone with a resistivity value between 34 -7013 Ωm. There are two types of aquifers in the study area: unconfined and confined aquifers. Unconfined aquifers are found at a depth of 2-7 meters, while confined aquifers are found at depths of 11-120 meters. The distribution of aquifers is more in the western part of the study area.

Published: February 2024

Glycerine pitch (GP) is a by-product from the refining process of Crude Glycerol from the palm oleochemical industry which in its processing requires a cost of USD 400/ton. In Indonesia, it is estimated that the production of GP reaches 35 thousand tons/year. This study aims to examine the potential of GP as an extender for asphalt binder pen 60/70, according to the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) test to see its chemical structure and asphalt binder rheology in the laboratory. The materials used in this research are pen 60/70 and GP from the oil palm oleochemical industry in Bekasi Regency which are produced from the hydrolysis route. GP was added to asphalt pen 60/70 with variations in the percentage of GP to the weight of asphalt pen 60/70 were 0%, 15%, 20%, and 25%. Based on the results of the FTIR test, it is known that GP belongs to a polyglycerol compound which is similar to the long compound in petroleum asphalt. The addition of GP up to 25% to asphalt-based rheology still meets the characteristics of pen 60/70 with a penetration value of 64.14 dmm, softening point 52 C, viscosity 408.52 cSt, ductility > 100 cm and density 1.061.

Published: February 2024

Cimanuk River water is the main raw water source in West Java Province. The quality of the water must be maintained so that it can be useful in the long term. Cimanuk River water is planned to be a source of raw water for clean water services in the West Java Region. Based on this, it is necessary to know the quality of this river water. This study aims to calculate the water and sediment pollution index considering that there is a strong relationship between the water column and sediment in the river. The research method uses the Pollution Index method to determine the water pollution index and the Contamination Factor and Metal Pollution Index to assess the quality of sediment due to heavy metal pollution. . There are 6 (six) parameters that do not meet the quality standards, namely: BOD5, COD, Total Ammonia (NH3-N), Sulfur as H2S, Free Chlorine (Cl2), and Copper (Cu). Sources of pollution are predicted to come from domestic and agricultural activities in the Cimanuk river basin. The results of the analysis of sediment quality using the Contamination Factor method showed that the sediment of the Cimanuk River was polluted with heavy metals Cadmium and Copper with a very high category. Based on the results of calculations using the Metal Pollution Index method, it was concluded that the sediment of the Cimanuk River was polluted with heavy metals.

Today, FRP system is one of the most widely used methods of structural repair and strengthening but the price is relatively expensive. Therefore, it is necessary to develop FRP materials generated from natural fibers that have the potential for high tensile strength, environmentally friendly, and lower costs. In this study, Abaca fiber (Musa textilis) derived from Abaca banana is used as the constituent material of Abaca Fiber Reinforced Polymer Sheet (Abaca FRP Sheet), which will be used as strengthening materials of structural elements. Tensile strength testing was performed as the preliminary test to determine the mechanical properties of Abaca FRP Sheet. Abaca FRP Sheet with and without NaOH treatment was a test variation. The results of the tests were compared to commercial GFRP sheets. ASTM D3039/D3039M-14 Standard Test Method for Tensile Properties of Polymer Matrix Composite Materials is referenced in the test specimens. Alkali treatment changes the structure and visual observation of the abaca fiber. Immersion of abaca fibers in 0.5% NaOH solutions for 30 minutes increased the tensile strength, Young’s modulus (GPa) and Strain at break as compared to the untreated abaca fibers.

One of The flooding of June 18, 2019 caused damage to the check dam structure on the Toili River branch, causing flooding during the rainy season and water being unable to flow into the Mansahang River which irrigates the Toili irrigation network and the Moilong irrigation network during the dry season. The purpose of this study is to design a bifurcation structure by modeling river hydraulics so that water can be supplied to the Moilong Irrigation Area and Toili Irrigation Area and to provide a sense of security from the threat of water damage. The data needed are: hydroclimatological data, watersheds, and river situation maps. Based on the results of the HEC-RAS analysis and simulation, the bifurcation structure of alternative-2 was chosen. This condition is very satisfying, where during floods the water can flow proportionally to the river branches and during the dry season the water needs are met.

Published: February 2024

The construction of the Tugu Dam requires stone material obtained from Quarry for the main dam. The stone material for the main dam is very critical because the work on the main dam should be carried out immediately during the dry season (for work safety and quality). Preparation for material transportation at the Quarry includes calculation of the availability of material volumes, construction of haul roads, and technical plans for transport and blasting management. These activities require surveying and mapping. The project team chose the drone mapping method using the Open-Source program rather than the conventional method for accelerating the surveying and mapping work. Aerial photogrammetry survey can complete a variety of projects, such as available material calculation, blasting management, and hauling road planning. Based on cost, quality, and time analysis, drone mapping using open-source computer programs is cheaper and faster than using paid computer programs and conventional surveying methods, but using Open-source software has the disadvantage of limited features and low data accuracy with a CE90 value = 17,706 and LE90=37,126 for this study. In general, drone mapping has lower accuracy than conventional surveying methods, but the output of drone mapping which is orthomosaic maps and Digital Elevation Models can be used for the development of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and autonomous engineering.

Authors: Rakhmatika I A
Published: February 2024

A flood in Serang Regency is predicted to occur due to changes in land use in the Ciujung River Basin. Land cover conditions in upstream areas affect flooding in downstream areas. A study is needed to evaluate the runoff from the Ciujung River Basin that reaches the flood-prone area in Serang Regency. This research aims to identify the effect of land-use change on floods in the Serang Regency and identify sub-watersheds that have a dominant influence on floods. The effect of the land-use change was analyzed by determining the composite curve number (CN) values in 2010 and 2019. Composite CN values were used for simulating flood hydrographs with 5, 20, 50, 100, and 1000 return periods using a simple semi-distributed rainfall-runoff hydrological model. The results showed that all sub-watersheds experienced an increase in composite CN values. The upper middle sub-watershed has a dominant influence on floods in normal conditions ranging from 9.2%-19.6%, in wet conditions ranging from 2.4%-6.5%. Implementing the spatial pattern of the Banten Provincial Plan 2010-2030 can reduce the composite CN value and the peak discharge of flood by around 7.3%-13.3% for normal conditions, in wet conditions down by about 1.7%-4.1% for each return period.

The Palu IV bridge collapsed after the 2018 Palu earthquake. Bridge failure is caused by moment force and buckling increasing simultaneously while liquefaction occurs. This study performs a simulation of the Kretek 2 Bridge by three models; pinned and roller support, bearing pad, and lead rubber bearing to understand seismic load reduction with different supports. The bridge load refers to SNI 1725:2016 and SNI 2833:2016. Site-specific response spectra are required due to near earthquake sources. The analysis result using MIDAS both bearing pads and lead rubber bearings show a significant reduction in beam forces. Axial forces, shear Y, shear Z, moment Y and moment Z, for bearing pad model were reduced to -10.79%, -7.28%, -74.59%, -65.51%, and -19.28%, respectively, whereas for lead rubber bearings model were reduced to -10.88%, +5.29%, -72.75%, -63.48%, and -7.34% respectively. However, the displacement in the bearing pad reaches 0.221m exceeding a boundary maximum of 0.050mm, so it cannot be used. Displacement of lead rubber bearing reaches 0.162m, which is still below 0.384mm. Thus, a lead rubber bearing used as a seismic isolation damper is appropriate for the Kretek 2 Bridge.

The Malalayang Beach area is a strategic tourist destination close to Manado city. Arrangement of the area is carried out by building several buildings that can support this area as a tourist destination. Liquefaction is a phenomenon when the soil loses its strength of contact between particles. This is due to earthquake shocks that trigger an increase of water pressure in areas with loose sand characteristics (not dense). The settlement of soil due to liquefaction is a vertical deformation of the soil in the soil layer caused by soil compaction due to earthquakes. The study purpose is to determine how much reduction could occur at the research site as an early stage of the early stages of risk management. With the N-SPT data, the Yoshimine method and the computational method Rocscience Settle 3D can be used to analyze the settlement. Yoshimine method indicates settlement with a very low classification in BH-MLY-01 and high in BH-MLY-05. In RS Settle 3D, the location of BH-MLY-01 has a very low classification, and the location of BH-MLY-05 is dominated by low classification. The maximum settlement resulted from the Rocscience Settle 3D at the BH-MLY-05 location by 11,588 cm.

The concept of third place in hybrid and multicultural areas is explored in this study. We could solve escaping spaces by adapting historic structures to new purposes that meet current needs. Putting that concept into practice, we must first comprehend the region’s cultural characteristics. The heritage building in Pasar Baru is situated in an area generated by the complex hybridity of Jakarta’s numerous ethnic communities. This area’s hybridity offers an exciting place that can be used as an escape route. This study aims to explore the nostalgic values of the culinary space of the Pasar Baru area that relate to the architecture and interior elements of the old building to create a sustainable urban environment. The building was used as a culinary area and explored at this time. This study employs a qualitative research approach includes in-depth observations at Gedung Antara. Heritage structures undergoing adaptive reuse must be evaluated regularly to account for changes in spatial conditions that occur over time. Adaptive reuse transforms ancient structures into new roles in conservation and uses a cultural context approach in the surrounding area, allowing for more efficient service.

Wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) contains various kinds of microbes, primarily bacteria, because of the role of bacteria in helping the degradation process of organic matter in wastewater. Based on data from the Environmental Agency of Sleman Regency, about 163 Communal WWTPs were tested for their physical and chemical parameters. However, not many tests have been carried out for biological parameters. The study of dominant bacteria in Communal WWTPs with moderate sanitation risk is expected to add information related to these biological parameters. This study used the Direct Plating method on Diluted Nutrient Broth (DNB) media and the gram staining method to determine the morphological characteristic of the bacterial cells. Six of communal WWTPs namely Candi Indah, Tirto Asri, Gading Indah, Guyup Rukun, Wahana Bina Lingkungan, and Banyu Bening were used as study sites. From this study, the bacterial dominant in each Communal WWTPs were bacteria having similar morphological characteristics to the bacteria in the genus of Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, Micrtothrix, and Micrococcus. The results of this study will contribute to a better understanding of the microbial role in the WWTP process, which is further expected to give insight into improving the WWTP performance

An association between subtle changes in T2 white matter hyper-intense signals (WMHS) de-tected in fetal brain magnetic resonance imaging (fbMRI) and congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection has been established. The research aim of this study is to compare children with congenital CMV infection with neurodevelopment outcome and hearing deficit with and with-out WMHS in a prospective historic cohort of 58 fbMRIs. Of these, WMHS was detected in 21. The median infection week of the WMHS group was earlier than the normal fbMRI group (8 and 17 weeks of gestation respectively). The proportion of infants treated with valganciclovir in the WMHS group was distinctly higher. Hearing impairment was not significantly different be-tween the groups. VABS scores in all 4 domains were within normal range in both groups. The median score of the motor skills corrected for week of infection was better in the WMHS group. A multivariate analysis using week of infection interaction variable of WMHS and valganciclo-vir treatment showed better motor score outcomes in the valganciclovir treatment group despite earlier week of infection. WMHS was not associated with neurodevelopmental outcome and hearing deficit. In our cohort valganciclovir treatment may have a protective effect on fetuses with WMHS by improving neurodevelopment outcome.

Background: MRI-guided prostate biopsies from visible tumor-specific lesions (TBx) can be used to diagnose clinically significant carcinomas (csPCa) requiring treatment more selectively than conventional systematic biopsies (SBx). Ex vivo fluorescence confocal microscopy (FCM) is a novel technique that can be used to examine TBx prior to conventional histologic workup. Methods: TBx from 150 patients were examined with FCM on the day of collection. Preliminary findings were reported within 2 hours of collection. The results were statistically compared with the final histology. Results: 27/40 (68%) of the csPCa were already recognized in the intraday FCM in accordance with the results of conventional histology. Even non-significant carcinomas (cisPCa) of the intermediate and high-risk groups (PSA > 10 or 20 ng/ml) according to conventional risk stratifications were reliably detectable. In contrast, small foci of cisPCa were often not detected or were difficult to distinguish from reactive changes. Conclusion: The rapid reporting of preliminary FCM findings helps reduce the psychological stress on patients an can improve the clinical management of csPCa. Additional SBx can be avoided in individual cases, leading to lower rates of complications and scaring in the future surgical area. Additional staging examinations can be arranged without losing time. FCM represents a promising basis for future AI-based diagnostic algorithms.
