Authors: Toniazzo Eduardo Martins , Silva Gustavo Amor da Costa e , Ferreira Mariana de Paula , Andrade Ana Paula Bueno , Carlos Pâmella de Oliveira
Published: July 2024

Introdução: A litíase vesical (LV) é uma patologia caracterizada pela presença de cálculos na bexiga urinária. Esta condição representa cerca de 5% dos cálculos urinários e pode estar associada a obstruções e infecções urinárias. A LV é mais comum no sexo masculino, especialmente em pacientes com doenças prostáticas ou histórico de cirurgias na próstata. O objetivo deste artigo é revisar a literatura atual sobre o tratamento cirúrgico da litíase vesical. Materiais, sujeitos e métodos: Para a elaboração deste artigo de revisão, foram consultados artigos científicos e de revisão publicados e referenciados na Medline/PubMED, SciELO e Cochrane entre 2010 e 2024. Foram utilizados descritores da DeCS como: Cálculos da Bexiga Urinária; Cirurgia; Litíase Vesical. A data da publicação não foi um critério de exclusão. A apresentação dos resultados e a discussão dos dados obtidos foram feitas de forma descritiva, possibilitando ao leitor a avaliação da aplicabilidade da revisão integrativa da literatura, fornecendo subsídios ao profissional de saúde na sua tomada de decisão cotidiana. Resultados e discussão: A litíase vesical apresenta várias opções de tratamento, que variam conforme os diferentes fatores individuais de cada paciente. Desde terapias expulsivas, como o uso de alfa bloqueadores para promover a eliminação natural do cálculo, até técnicas cirúrgicas minimamente invasivas, são consideradas. A escolha da técnica cirúrgica apropriada depende de diversas variáveis específicas, incluindo o tamanho e localização dos cálculos. Estudos na literatura destacam que a terapia expulsiva é frequentemente utilizada para cálculos menores, especialmente aqueles com menos de 6 mm de diâmetro, enquanto cálculos maiores geralmente exigem intervenções cirúrgicas. Técnicas como litotripsia extracorpórea por ondas de choque (LEOC), cistolitotripsia/cistolitotomia, ureterorrenolitotripsia e nefrolitotripsia percutânea (NLPC) são avaliadas conforme suas indicações, benefícios e contraindicações. Considerações finais: O tratamento cirúrgico da litíase vesical oferece diversas abordagens, cada uma com suas indicações e benefícios específicos. A cistolitotomia aberta é preferida para pedras grandes ou múltiplas, enquanto a cistolitotripsia transuretral é ideal para pedras menores devido à sua natureza menos invasiva. A litotripsia extracorpórea, embora minimamente invasiva, pode não ser eficaz para todos os tipos e tamanhos de pedras. A escolha do método deve ser individualizada, levando em consideração a saúde do paciente, as características das pedras e os recursos disponíveis. Os avanços tecnológicos, como novos lasers e técnicas endoscópicas, têm melhorado significativamente os resultados e reduzido complicações, destacando a importância de uma abordagem personalizada no tratamento da litíase vesical.

This research aims to develop mathematics learning tools based on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) using the Outdoor Learning Mathematics method with the goal of enhancing mathematical connections of junior high school students in statistics. The research method employed is a mixed-methods approach combining qualitative and quantitative methods, both conducted through developmental research comprising planning, development, and evaluation stages. The sample for this research was two classes at SMPN 1 Tempeh with homogeneous mathematical abilities, where one class will be used as the experimental group and one class as the control group. Determining the research area using a purposive area sampling technique with the consideration that learning using the outdoor learning mathematics method with educational sustainable development (ESD) based learning tools has never been implemented at SMPN 1 Tempeh. The selection of eighth-grade classes is based on the consideration that statistics material is currently being taught in eighth grade, and eighth-grade students have not been subjects of research for similar studies before. The learning tools developed are designed in accordance with ESD principles and utilize outdoor mathematics learning approaches to enhance students’ understanding and skills in statistics. The results from Hypothesis Testing for Pretest indicate that a p-value of 0.648 is obtained, where this value > 0.05 means H0 is accepted and H1 is rejected. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is no difference in the mean between the control and experimental groups in the pretest. Whereas the result of Posttest Hypothesis Test indicate that a p-value of 0.028 is obtained, where this value < 0.05 means H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted. So the use of ESD-based mathematics learning tools with the Outdoor Learning Mathematics method is effective in improving students’ mathematical connections in statistics. The implication of this research underscores the importance of integrating mathematics education with sustainable development principles to reinforce students’ understanding and skills in mathematics while also fostering awareness of environmental and social issues.

The rising environmental concerns and regulatory measures in Indonesia have created new opportunities for the expansion of waste management services in the cement sector, specifically by utilizing thermal technology. The Waste Management Unit (WMU) of Cement Company presents substantial strategic opportunities for expansion and development. After undergoing a merger and acquisition, Cement Inc experienced a transformation and has now become a state-owned firm. This change offers WMU Cement Inc further opportunities for growth and expansion. The objective of this research is to identify the most effective strategy for the Waste Management Business Unit within the Cement Company using the Analytical Hierarchy Process. The study explores three fundamental research question: (1) What is the current situation for WMU Cement Inc in terms of market, money, customer, and organization? (2) What are the obstacles inside the organization and in the external environment that hinder the acceleration of waste management services in Indonesia, resulting in limited value creation for the company? (3) What are the suggested recommendations and strategic choices for the company to enhance its value absorption? The study used the SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) and AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) framework to perform a comprehensive evaluation and evaluate three strategic options for the waste management division: retaining it within the cement firm, expanding it to the cement group as a whole, or establishing it as an independent entity. The results of this study indicate that the most favorable choice (40.6%) is to establish WMU as a separate entity, which offers greater advantages compared to fully integrating with the parent company (30.9%) and keeping the current business operations (28.4%). By creating WMU as an independent organization, it may effectively avoid market and pricing cannibalization amongst its subsidiaries and optimize operations. WMU Cement Inc possesses the capacity to assume a leading role in waste management services by offering waste solutions to all SIG subsidiary plants and other cement makers, including ITP. The benefits of this method include autonomous operations, targeted management, rapid decision-making, and varied income streams achieved via the cultivation of specialized skills and expertise in waste management. This decision presents a chance to attract targeted investments and collaborations that promote innovation and expansion in waste management.

Authors: Dr. D. Sujatha  , Dr. D. Umamaheswari  , Dr. D. Vijayalakshmi
Published: July 2024

The heat-adapted (32°C) Catla catla registered as increased level of ATP and energy charge with concomitant lower levels of ADP, and AMP when compared to cold-adapted (22°C) fishes. All the osmoregulatory tissues like the gill, kidney, and intestine indicate greater ATP turnover adaptation to higher temperatures. In order to differentiate thermal stress from thermal adaptation, the 22°C adapted were readapted to a temperature change of 22°C 32°C at the rate of 1°C/hour as in the case of stress and at the rate of l°C/ 60 hrs as in the case of adaptation During the time course of experiments there is a gradual stepping-up in the levels of ATP and energy charge and a gradual stepping-down in ADP and AMP in all tissues. Further, there is a complete filling-up process in ATP and values reached gradually the original level of these parameters of the control of 32°C adapted fishes. The heat-adapted fishes exhibited a fairly good amount of recovery ranging from 83% to 88% in these adenylate nucleotides. On the other hand, in the temperature-stressed fishes the adenylate nucleotides did not reach the control values and the filling processes with ATP could not be completed. Further, the % recovery in these parameters is far less 47 % to 57%, when compared to temperature adapted fishes. The continuous thermal-stress (1°C/hour) action upon this fish Catla catla resulted in stress-adaptation (adaptation resulted due to stress).

The current study describes a unique method for degrading methylene blue dye utilizing Mn-doped Bi2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) exposed to UV light. Bi2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) doped with Mn were produced using a hydrothermal process. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and were use to characterize the prepared nanoparticles. It was discovered that the band gaps of Mn/ Bi2O3 NPs are 2%, 3%, and 4%, respectively, and are 4.13 eV, 3.92 eV, and 3.77 eV. Functional group identification using Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Mn-doped Bi2O3 nanoparticles were captured in SEM pictures at various magnifications, and the photos clearly display the particles' dual morphologies, cubic and cylindrical. The Mn-doped Bi2O3 particles were found to be crystalline, with mean diameters of 20 nm, according to the XRD data. The photodegradation efficiency of Mn/Bi2O3 at experimental dye concentrations of 2%, 3%, and 4% was determined to be 90.29, 91.6, and 93.16 percent, respectively, over a 150 minute time interval. At the ideal catalyst dosage of 0.2 g and concentration of 40 ppm, a high percentage of dye degradation was observed. Numerous metals have been doped into zinc oxides, although no work has documented doping of Bi2O3 with Mn. Additionally, it was utilized for the first time to look at the deterioration of methylene blue dye.
