Soil Improvement of Petobo Silty Sand using Ferronickel Slag and Alkaline Activators
Authors: Lim Aswin , Renaldy Adrianus , Kristian David
Published: July 2023

This study aims to provide an alternative soil improvement that can be applied in the Petobo area, which experienced liquefaction on September 29, 2018. Ferronickel slag is utilized as a binding agent. Furthermore, large concentrations of alkaline solutions (potassium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide) are utilized as activators to activate kaolin and initiate the geopolymer production process. From the test results, it can be concluded that sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide solutions are effective to be applied as an alkaline solution. The maximum unconfined compressive strength of the sample is about 530 kPa with a concentration of 10% of ferronickel slag and 10M of alkaline activator. This value is twice larger than if we applied cement to the soil with the same amount of concentration. Hence, the effect of the admixture of ferronickel slag and alkaline activator is more dominant than the admixture of cement only. Furthermore, the Scanning Electron Microscope and X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometer tests were also carried out to investigate the chemical bonds that occurred in the samples. It is revealed that the geopolymer matrix envelops soil particles resulting from the geopolymer reaction. The composition of SiO2 and Al2O3 in the treated Petobo silty sand decreased. It might be due to the geopolymer reaction that occurs in the sample so that the content of SiO2 and Al2O3 compounds is reduced. Because it uses an activator in the form of a KOH and NaOH solution, there is an increase in the levels of MgO compounds in the sample compared to untreated Petobo silty sand.
A justiça constitucional como intérprete e sua respectiva importância
Authors: Visconti Carlos Gustavo
Published: July 2023

O presente estudo visa expor algumas considerações sobre a existência de uma Justiça Constitucional e sua respectiva importância na interpretação dos dispositivos constitucionais. Inicialmente dentro dos conceitos de Constituição será analisada a atribuição dada pela Constituição a um órgão de controle. Destaque se que esse poder de controle pode ser exercido por um terceiro ente criado ou por um dos próprios poderes previstos na teoria tripartite de Montesquieu. Em seguida, diante da incorporação de valores humanos e sociais haverá explicação sobre a necessidade e importância da função de intérprete da Corte Constitucional. Na última parte, o estudo será concluído com o entendimento de que há a necessidade de uma “palavra final” independentemente de qual seja esse órgão e, uma vez, atribuída essa função ao respectivo ente, inevitável a elaboração de formas efetivas para que a atividade seja desenvolvida de uma maneira legítima e eficaz. O presente trabalho foi realizado, a partir de pesquisas bibliográficas visando demonstrar a importância de se ter uma Corte Constitucional como guardiã da harmonia do nosso sistema de normas.

Published: July 2023

Endometriosis affects the sexual functioning and marital satisfaction of couples in a complex manner due to its clinical presentation of the disease. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of sexual dysfunction and marital disharmony among women with endometriosis beyond their diagnosis and treatment. A cross-sectional online survey was conducted among women with endometriosis in an endometriosis society at a Malaysian university hospital. Sociodemographic and clinical data were collected. Sexual function was measured using the Malay Version Female Sexual Function Index (MVFSFI), while marital satisfaction was evaluated with the Malay Version Golombok Rust Inventory for Marital Satisfaction (MVGRIMS). A total of 166 patients participated in this survey. The median age was 35 years (Interquartile range, IQR:32.00–39.25 years); 91.6% of participants were Malay. The median score of MVFSFI was 56.00 (IQR: 34.75–68.00). Most of the study subjects (n = 96) reported poor to very severe marital satisfaction problems, equivalent to MVGRIMS transformed score of more than 5. High levels of MVGRIMS scores have a moderately strong negative correlation with lower scores for most domains of the MVFSFI. In the stepwise multiple logistic regression, only MVFSFI total scores (p = 0.029), MVFSFI lubrication scores (p = 0.009), and MVFSFI satisfaction (p = 0.010) scores were significantly associated with poor marital satisfaction. Both sexual dysfunction and marital satisfactions commonly affect women with endometriosis and are closely interlinked. Targeted efforts should be made in multiple aspects to improve the quality of sexual functioning and marital satisfaction among endometriosis patients.

Authors: Xu Nuo , Liu Ping , Kang Yijun , Chen Fei
Published: July 2023

Objective

We aimed to report the surgical outcomes of serial cases and retrospectively analyze the value of partial vertebrectomy and spinal shortening in the reduction of old spondyloptosis at the thoracolumbar spine.

Methods

From 2015 to 2021, eight cases of patients who received a spinal intervention of partial vertebrectomy and spinal shortening for thoracolumbar spondyloptosis over 3 weeks post-trauma were retrospectively summarized. Medical records and surgical outcomes were extracted for clinical safety and efficacy evaluation.

Results

Acceptable reduction and immediate stabilization were achieved for all eight cases without causing iatrogenic damage to the viscera. The mean operation time was 3.7 h (range, 3.2–4.2 h) with a mean blood loss average of 1,081 ml (range, 900–1,300 ml). Postoperative stay in the spine department was an average of 11.4 days (range, 8–17 days), followed by an early rehab program. The mean visual analog scale (VAS) for low back pain decreased from 8.0 preoperatively to 1.4 at the last follow-up. The average follow-up period was 19.9 months. As for neurological function recovery, six patients with preoperative ASIA-A status remained unchanged throughout the follow-up period and improvement of one ASIA grade was noted in two patients. At the latest follow-up, sound interbody fusion as well as good alignment of the spinal column were confirmed radiologically in seven patients, while one patient encountered slight re-dislocation 3 months after surgery, but eventually achieved spinal fusion.

Conclusion

Partial vertebrectomy and spine shortening via a posterior approach showed good efficacy and safety in the management of old spondyloptosis of the thoracolumbar spine, allowing for a one-step good reduction and spinal fusion for early rehabilitation.

Published: July 2023

Preservation associated with the use of cryoprotectants has been one of the most used methods for the long-term storage of microorganisms, mainly because this technique can guarantee the conservation of the original characteristics of the standard strains. The present study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Skim milk and glycerol as cryoprotectants in preserving the standard strain of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538. Preservation was carried out in freezers at -20°C and -80°C, initially only between December from 2022 to March 2023. Viability and purity tests were performed after one day of freezing and after 3 months to evaluate the method’s ability to maintain the survival and purity of the microorganism. After analyzing the results, the methods were efficient for preservation, confirming that the use of cryoprotective agents in the freezing of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria can be used in laboratory routine.

Por ello, esta técnica proporciona una opción efectiva para el manejo del dolor y la reducción de complicaciones, permitiendo una pronta recuperación y menor estancia hospitalaria para los pacientes.
Minori e disabilità nell’era dello sharenting. Il “diritto ad un futuro aperto” come criterio per una valutazione etica
Authors: Scalzaretto Silvia
Published: July 2023

Il fenomeno della condivisione sui social media, da parte dei genitori, di ogni aspetto della vita dei propri figli, è ormai talmente comune e diffuso che per esso è stato coniato un termine specifico, un neologismo che deriva dalla crasi dei termini “share” (condividere) e “parenting” (genitorialità): lo sharenting. Il presente contributo si concentra sui casi in cui ad essere condivisa, in maniera costante e massiva, è la vita di un bambino con malattia o con disabilità. Se è vero che ci sono spesso degli aspetti positivi che portano i genitori ad operare in questo modo (tra cui essere d’ispirazione o motivazione per gli altri, promuovere l’accettazione sociale della malattia, creare una rete di sostegno, raccogliere fondi) questi criteri sono per lo più dichiarati dai genitori stessi, ma non effettivamente verificati o dimostrati ed anzi in alcuni casi sono stati apertamente smentiti. In ogni caso, ciò che emerge è che l’adulto tende a fornire una propria narrazione e interpretazione della vita con la malattia (o meglio, della propria relazione di cura), narrazione su cui il bambino non ha alcuna voce né controllo. Questa narrazione, oltre a ledere apertamente la privacy del minore, crea un legame indissolubile tra il bambino e la sua condizione, facendo sì che la sua identità sia resa inscindibile dalla malattia ed impedendo che, in futuro, egli possa avere un’identità libera dalla malattia stessa. Sul presupposto che il diritto alla salute del minore ha un contenuto più ampio di quello di un adulto e comprende anche, e necessariamente, le prospettive future, i criteri classici dell’analisi etica possono non essere esaustivi. In questo elaborato cercherò di applicare il principio teorizzato da Joel Feinberg sul diritto del bambino ad un “futuro aperto” (“right to an open future”) come criterio per individuare i limiti di ciò che è eticamente accettabile condividere online. Lo studio non intende in alcun modo demonizzare le tecnologie, né ovviamente impedirle o limitarle, bensì contribuire a promuoverne un uso responsabile e mai cieco alla fondamentale esigenza di tutela dei soggetti più vulnerabili.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a malignant disease of hematopoietic stem cells.B cell ALL (B-ALL) is characterized by highly proliferative and poorly differentiated progenitorB cells in the bone marrow. Chromosomal rearrangements, aberrant cell signaling, and mutationslead to dysregulated cell cycle and clonal proliferation of abnormal B cell progenitors. In this study,we aimed to examine hot spot genetic variations in the RUNX1, IDH2, and IL2RA genes in a groupof (n=52) pediatric B-ALL. Sanger sequencing results revealed a rare RUNX1 variantp.Leu148Gln in one B-ALL patient with disease recurrence. Additionally, common intronicvariations rs12358961 and rs11256369 of IL2RA were determined in two patients. None of thepatients had the IDH2 variant.RUNX1, IDH2, and IL2RA variations were rare events in ALL. This study detected a novelpathogenic RUNX1 variation in a patient with a poor prognosis. Examining prognosticallyimportant genetic anomalies of childhood lymphoblastic leukemia patients and the signalingpathway components will pilot more accurate prognosis estimations.

Published: July 2023

The province of Darien in eastern Panama is well known for its endemic doves.  Most of them are poorly studied and threatened. The aim of this study was to recognize the wild dove’s diversity from CPNR and describe an ethological baseline. We compiled 38,592-day hours, with information on circadian activity and behavioral data from camera traps from December 2012 to May 2014 in a cloud forest. We detected four species of wild doves and obtained information on circadian activity for the most frequent species detected. An ethogram was built for Zentrygon goldmani and Leptotila cassinii in five categories: transversal walking, foraging, courtship, copulation and walking together. Courtship occurred during December, February, July and September, in both the dry and rainy seasons. We also detected Geotrygon montana and Zentrygon lawrencii for the Pacific slope of Panama and for the Chucanti Private Natural Reserve. The diversity found regarding wild doves represents a unique opportunity to study this endemic species at CPNR, and another important reason for its conservation.

This analysis focuses primarily on the several benefits of the buccal drug delivery system (BDDS) over the traditional and systemic formulation. Bypassing first pass metabolism, it aids in improving bioavailability. The formulation of this medication delivery system maintains contact with the mucosal surface, improving absorption and lengthening the resident time. Although not all medications can be administered with this approach, the majority of medications can. Because the degree of mucoadhesion is a crucial phenomenon for the buccal medication delivery system, bio adhesive polymers play a significant role in this drug delivery method. The paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the buccal drug delivery system, the anatomy of the oral mucosa, the mechanism of drug penetration, the use of natural polymers and permeation enhancers in the buccal drug delivery system. This evaluation also addresses currently on the market products used as buccal medication delivery systems and their potential future applications.

Abstract
Passing through the life and preaching of the prophet Hosea, the love story between God and the Israelites is portrayed as intensely romantic, filled with wonders yet equally poignant. Firstly, the marriage between Hosea and Gomer reflects God's love for the unfaithful Israelites. The peculiar love of God is further exemplified in Hosea 2:16-25, where God enters into an everlasting covenant with Israel in the wilderness. Through an understanding of the text in Hosea 2:16-25, the experiences of faithfulness in the Israelites, and the love that God has for humanity, the author also intends to encourage reflection and self-examination regarding one's own life of faith and journey of following God.
On The Transcendence Of Confucianism
Authors: Gao Guipeng
Published: July 2023

The theory of Confucian immanent transcendence proposed by Mou Zongsan has been the subject of many academic debates. The transcendence of Confucianism has become the consensus of current academic circles. As for whether Confucianism is immanent transcendence or external transcendence, Confucianism should contain both immanent transcendence and    external transcendence from the perspective of specific occurrence of Confucianism. It is still an open question if Confucianism should opt for immanent or external transcendence in the future. Tracing the origin of the appearance and philosophical significance of these two transcendence, immanent transcendence is the direction that Confucianism should continue to adhere to.

Self-compacting concrete (SCC) has unique properties that make it a promising alternative to traditional concrete. However, its prediction and design remain challenging due to the complex interaction of multiple factors. Traditional methods are limited in scope, and often inaccurate. This study presents a multi-objective predicting and evaluating model for SCC using machine learning techniques, particularly random forest algorithm. The model predicts flowability, mechanical property, and durability using nine critical features. The dataset used in this study consisted of 376 samples, and the model achieved high accuracy for predicting all three performance indicators, with R2 values of 0.94 for compressive strength, 0.92 for slump flow, and 0.94 for rapid chloride permeability. The importance analysis results suggest that the weight of binder and sand are the two most critical factors that affect SCC properties. This approach provides a valuable tool for engineers and researchers in the field of concrete science and technology, improving the quality and durability of concrete structures.

Urban traffic congestion was a challenging problem. In recent years, researchers in the fields of transportation and computer science devoted considerable attention to studying real-time traffic signal control (RTSC) to alleviate urban traffic congestion. This paper reviewed various methods for RTSC, categorizing them based on the algorithms. Additionally, simulators were summarized to validate algorithm performances, and the analysis further explored the interrelationships between different traffic entities, optimization objectives, and network types. Finally, potential avenues for future research in traffic signal control (TSC) were discussed, with the aim of providing valuable references to researchers working on intelligent transportation systems (ITS) for practical implementations.

Authors: López-Maldonado Kevin Francisco , Ochoa-Bravo Andrea Catalina
Published: July 2023

Antecedentes: La Coartación de la aorta es una patología congénita que se describe como el estrechamiento de la aorta, ocasionando obstáculo del paso de la sangre; a esta enfermedad se atribuye del 8 al 10% de cardiopatías genéticas, lo que equivale a 4/10000 nacidos vivos y suele ser detectada en edad adulta.

Objetivo: Establecer el diagnóstico, tratamiento y controversia acerca de la Coartación de la Aorta en pacientes pediátricos. Métodos: Revisión bibliográfica de tipo narrativa. Resultados: Los métodos con la tasa más alta de eficacia en diagnóstico para fetos y recién nacidos son el ecocardiograma y la medición arterial bajo los parámetros cardíacos, más del 50% de casos reportados fueron confirmados posterior al nacimiento; los métodos de tratamiento usados son la angioplastia con balón y colocación de stent permitiendo la mejoría de los pacientes, tomando en cuenta la incidencia del 10 y 20% de reintervención en los pacientes tratados. Aunque existe cierta controversia, autores recomiendan la angioplastia con balón en recién nacidos; mientras que otros grupos demuestran que una corrección quirúrgica para el tratamiento es efectiva. Conclusiones: La Coartación de la aorta es un defecto, que generalmente es diagnosticada después del nacimiento, entre los exámenes complementarios pueden ser el ecocardiograma, tomografía axial computarizada y resonancia magnética. El tratamiento de mayor utilidad puede ser la angioplastia con balón o inserción de stent, es importante que los pacientes reparados tengan un seguimiento a largo plazo por los posibles riesgos.

Mineral raw materials of Serbia on the list of critical minerals of the European Commission (CRM EU-2020) during the Covid-19 pandemic and harmonized in the UNFC-2009 system and the PERC standard
Authors: Vukas Radoslav
Published: July 2023

The existence of mineralization, mining and deposits of non-ferrous and precious and other metals (Pb-Zn, Ag; Cu, Au, as well as B-Li, Mg, Sb, etc.) in the territory of Serbia is conditioned by the structural-geological-metallogenetic structure and processes formation of deposits of mineral raw materials in a certain period of geohistorical development. Mining activity in the territory of Serbia, i.e. extraction of non-ferrous and precious metal ores, goes back thousands of years, which resulted in the "production" of significant accumulations of mining and industrial waste. These facts indicate the existence of a significant mineral potential of Serbia, and the possibility of recovering metals through technological processes of waste material recycling. Mineral deposits are the primary sources, and accumulated mining and industrial waste are secondary sources of providing mineral resources such as Cu, Pb-Zn, Co, Ni, Al, Li, W, Bi, In, Te, Ga, Ge, REE and others, many of which are on the list of CRM EU-2020 or 2023. Critical minerals as a professional-formal term is not defined in Serbia, and in due to the specific way and extent of occurrence in nature, exhaustibility and non-renewable reserves, as well as the provision of certain countries or regions with solid mineral resources in certain socio-economic conditions (world crises, wars, embargoes, pandemics, etc.) become deficient, i.e. missing (on the market), i.e. in terms of supply chain. During the Covid 19 pandemic, publicly available data on critical raw materials in Serbia were analyzed, when it was assessed that e.g. for the supply chain of the health sector, only ten of them are available (Sb, Ba, B, Ge, In, Mg, F, ...). The solid mineral raw materials of Serbia classified into categories and classes of geological reserves (classes of mineral resources and reserves) can, for certain reporting purposes, be harmonized with the Mineral Resources/Reserves from international standards (PERC, JORC, Ni-43 101 and codes of UNFC).
