Network operation without safety chlorination in Zürich
Authors: Klein H.-P. , Forster R.
Published: December 2022

In 1993 the Zürich Water Supply started a full scale test of distributing drinking water without adding any chemicals at the outlet of the plants for network protection. The introduction of this test was planned over several years, during which the applied dose of disinfectants was gradually reduced. No problems occurred in the distribution network during the disinfectant-free operation period. The median of the heterotrophic plate count (HPC) increased from 0-4 to 0-7 CFU/mL in the treated water and from 0-3 to 0-5 CFU/mL at the sampling points in the network. Occasional increases in HPC to 100-300 CFU/mL which also occurred during periods of network protection, were removed by flushing with water at a velocity of 0.5 m/s.
Overview of American disinfectant residual practices
Authors: Clement J. A.
Published: December 2022

In the USA chlorine is used extensively to inactivate pathogens in drinking water. Beyond this fundamental goal, the practice of chlorination involves maintaining a disinfectant residual in the distribution system to minimise biofilm formation and as an additional safeguard against pathogen intrusion. In contrast to many European countries the disinfectant residuals typically maintained in the distribution system are relatively high. The primary factors that are driving high disinfectant residuals include regulation, and using chlorine as a primary disinfectant rather than other advanced treatment systems. Lower disinfectant residuals are likely in the future with changes in regulations, installation of advanced treatment processes, and improvements in the distribution system.

Effects of chlorine disinfection on RO membrane biofouling at low feed water temperature for wastewater reclamation
Authors: Yu Tong , Sun Shoufang , Zhao Yunlong , Wang Lingxue , Li Ping , Chen Zhuo , Bi Xuejun , Shi Xueqing
Published: December 2022

Chlorine disinfection has been reported to be ineffective in controlling RO membrane biofouling in some projects. Feed water temperature is a crucial factor in the formation of RO membrane biofouling. It has a positive impact on the wide application of the RO process to ascertain whether chlorine disinfection can alleviate the membrane biofouling at low temperatures. In this study, the effects of chlorination on the RO membrane biofouling at low feed water temperature (10 °C) were investigated by a lab-scale RO apparatus. The final normalized flux was 0.33 and 0.29 with and without chlorination, respectively. According to the normalized flux decline curve, chlorination could not alleviate the RO membrane fouling at low temperature. Based on the intermediate blocking model, chlorination increased the membrane fouling potential of the feed water. At low temperature, the biofilm on the membrane with chlorination was thinner and denser than that without chlorination. In addition, the membrane with chlorination contained more foulants and dissolved organic matter than that without chlorination. Chlorination failed to continuously prevent bacteria accumulation on RO membrane at low temperature, but screened out bacteria that were potentially more suitable for the low-temperature membrane environment.

Por um devir monstro
Authors: Silva Matheus
Published: December 2022

O presente artigo traça uma convergência entre os dispositivos teórico-práticos de meu processo inventivo na arte da performance, na qual “instauro” uma existência mínima, a AdivinhaaDiva, uma bufona-ciborgue-bixa. Por meio de uma investigação na interface entre arte e vida, almejei o entrecruzamento da prática criativa do bufão, conforme Bya Braga e Joaquim Elias, para produzir uma atividade que acomete ao “artivismo”. Tratam-se de dispositivos de intensificação de uma prática que torna o corpo um espaço de denúncia e o liberta de conservadorismos, levando-o a lugares não conhecidos, selvagens e impessoais. Para tanto, muitas questões se mostram em aberto e precisam ser discutidas: como superar os valores sociais normativos e “instaurar” essa população estrangeira que nos orbita, via arte da performance? Em que medida é possível tratar de uma produção artística aproximando o “modo de existência” bixa na arte da performance com o artivismo? Como poderei relacionar essas instâncias? Como tal “existência mínima”, partido de uma performer como agente instauradora, pode inventar um mundo, uma existência compartilhada?

SNP-based Computational Analysis Reveals Recombination-associated
Genome Evolution in Humans
Authors: Liu Guoqing , Zhang Qiguo
Published: December 2022

Background:

Meiotic recombination is an important source of genetic variation, but how recombination
shapes the genome is not clearly understood yet.

Objective:

Here, we investigate the roles of recombination on human genome evolution from two aspects:
How does recombination shape single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-related genomic variation
features? Whether recombination drives genome evolution through a neighbor-dependent mutational bias?

Methods:

We analyzed the relationship of recombination rate with mutational bias and selection effect
at SNP sites derived from the 1000 Genomes Project.

Results:

Our results show that SNP density, Ts/Tv, nucleotide diversity, and Tajima's D were positively
correlated with the recombination rate, while Ka/Ks were negatively correlated with the recombination
rate. Moreover, compared with non-coding regions, gene exonic regions have lower nucleotide diversity
but higher Tajima's D, suggesting that coding regions are subject to stronger negative selection but have
fewer rare alleles. Gene set enrichment analysis of the protein-coding genes with extreme Ka/Ks ratio
implies that under the effect of high recombination rates, the genes involved in the cell cycle, RNA processing,
and oocyte meiosis are subject to strong negative selection. Our data also support S (G or C) >
W (A or T) mutational bias and W>S fixation bias in high recombination regions. In addition, the
neighbor-dependent mutational bias was found to be stronger at high recombination regions.

Conclusion:

Our data suggest that genetic variation patterns, particularly the neighbor-dependent mutational
bias at SNP sites in the human genome, are mediated by recombination.

Novel Digital Filter Design For Noise Removal in Fetal ECG Signals
Authors: Maraikkayar S.M.Seeni Mohamed Aliar , Tamilselvi R. , Beham M.Parisa , Hasan M.Amjath
Published: December 2022

Background

In Maternal and Fetal Health care research, it is necessary to analyse both Maternal Electrocardiogram (ECG) and Fetal ECG(FECG) for analysing the health status of the mother and fetus. Noises are nothing but the presence of interferences due to the powerline, motion artifacts, electromyogram and baseline wander during ECG measurement. In this scenario, the cardiotocography (CTG) signal plays a vital role in the measurement of FECG, which includes Fetal Heart Rate (FHR) and Uterine Contractions (UC). In the FECG signal, it is necessary to filter the noises present to have an accurate classification of the fetus condition. In recent literatures, Infinite Impulse Response (IIR), Finite Impulse Response (FIR) and Adaptive filters are predominantly used for noise removal in FECG signals. Still now, achieving a high Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) is a major challenge in noise removal in biomedical signal processing. Motivated by the above-said issues, in this work, a novel filter design named AdaptIIR Filter is proposed to improve the SNR value.

Methods

In the proposed design, an adaptive filter is convolved with the IIR filter; the resultant is again convolved with the Chebyshev filter to improve the filtering response of the system. The system performance has been evaluated based on the signal-to-noise ratio and power of the FECG signal.

Results

The experimental results have also been compared with the state-of-the-art filters, and it is observed that the proposed filter design achieves high SNR and signal power of 39.92dB and -100dB, respectively.

Conclusion

Filtering operation plays a very important role in the noise analysis of biological signals for better accuracy. In the order of 5, the filter has shown to have the best result in terms of SNR and average power of the signal.
The Lower Lip Profile Change During Total Distalization of the
Mandibular Dentition
Authors: Kim Bumjin , Shin Jeong Won , Hong Christine , Yun Pyo Ahn , Baik Un-Bong , Kim Young Ho , Chae Hwa Sung
Published: December 2022

Objectives:

This study aimed to determine the factors influencing the lower lip profile
during Class III lower total arch distalization camouflage treatment.

Methods:

The cohort included 45 patients diagnosed with skeletal class III
malocclusion. These patients underwent camouflage orthodontic treatment with
lower arch total distalization. Lateral cephalograms were taken at the
pretreatment and posttreatment stages. Cephalometric measurements were
analyzed to unravel the influencing factors of the lower lip profile. This
study defined new variables, i.e., CK and CKA, for detailed
soft tissue analysis.

Results:

Novel soft tissue measurements presented in this study showed statistically
significant changes after treatment. The CK angle and L1 to A Pog, L1 to NB,
and IMPA were statistically correlated. Simple regression analysis was
performed between variables. The formula was ΔCKA = 0.79(Δ L1
to NB) -1.6, and multiple regression resulted in ΔCKA = 0.5(Δ
L1 to NB) – 0.42 (‘LL to Eline’, before treatment).

Conclusion:

The present study provided evidence that the lower lip evaluations, including
the novel CKA and CKHA, were significantly related to the mandibular incisor
position during total distalization of the mandibular dentition. The results
demonstrated that clinically significant lip retraction could be obtained.
Therefore, non-extraction with distalization must be suggested as the first
treatment option in mild skeletal class III malocclusion patients.
Survival and Analysis of Predictors of Mortality in Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis in a Rural Hospital in Puducherry, India: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Authors: Kumar P Ravi , Vinayagmoorthy V , Dongre Amol , Deshmukh Pradeep
Published: December 2022

Background

Despite the advent of dialysis technology, the survival of patients on hemodialysis (HD) is not encouraging. There is little information available regarding the prognostic factors of HD, its population characteristics, or outcomes in India.

Objectives

We attempted to describe the profile of patients on HD, estimate the mean days of their survival and to determine the various factors associated with their survival.

Materials and Methods

It was a retrospective cohort study conducted on patients who were on maintenance HD, registered during the five-year period between 1st January 2014 and 31st December 2018 in a tertiary care teaching hospital in Rural Puducherry, South India. Demographic, hematological, biochemical, electrocardiographic, echocardiographic parameters and death during follow-up were extracted from the dialysis database after de-identification. The survival rate was calculated using Kaplan- Meier Curves and Cox Regression analysis was done to estimate the adjusted hazard ratio.

Results

The median survival of the 229 eligible patients on HD was 819 days. Cardiac pathology accounted for 25.7% of those deaths and 33.9% was sudden death. Adjusted Cox proportional model showed the presence of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (LVH) (HR: 78.1), increase in phosphorus (HR: 1.26), decrease in haemoglobin (HR: 0.78), and decrease in serum albumin (HR: 0.52) were significant bad prognostic factors.

Conclusion

Screening for LVH, anemia, hypoaluminemia and hyperphosphatemia amongst HD patients and managing them to prevent these bad prognostic factors has the potential to improve their survival.
Spirometry Reference Equations Including Existing and Novel Parameters
Authors: Johnson Douglas Clark , Johnson Bradford Gardner
Published: December 2022

Introduction

Spirometry is an essential component of pulmonary function testing with interpretation dependent upon comparing results to normal. Reference equations for mean and lower limit of normal (LLN) are available for usual parameters including forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in the first second of an FVC maneuver (FEV1), and FEV1/FVC. However, standard parameters do not fully characterize the flow-volume loop and equations are unavailable for upper limit of normal (ULN). The aim of this study was to develop reference equations for existing and novel spirometry parameters, which more fully describe the flow-volume loop, and to compare these to previously reported equations.

Methods

Data from healthy participants in NHANES III was used to derive reference equations for existing and novel spirometry parameters accounting for birth sex, ethnicity (Caucasian, Mexican American, Black) for ages 8 to 90 years. An iterative process determined %predicted LLN and ULN. Equations were compared to published reported equations.

Results

Reference equations were developed for mean, LLN and ULN for existing and novel spirometry parameters for ages 8 to 90. The derived equations closely match mean values of previously published equations, but more closely fit the LLN. Mexican-American and Caucasian values were similar (within 2%) so were combined, while Black relative to Caucasian/Mexican-American were lower for some parameters.

Conclusion

These reference equations which account for birth sex, age, height, and ethnicity for existing and novel spirometry parameters provide a more comprehensive and quantitative evaluation of spirometry and the flow-volume curve.
Translation and Validation of the Persian Version of the Nurses Clinical Reasoning Scale (NCRS): A Psychometric Analysis
Authors: Kojabadi Amir Saberi , Asghari Elnaz , Jabbarzadeh Faranak , Sarbakhsh Parvin
Published: December 2022

Purpose

Nurses need strong clinical reasoning competency because they provide specialized and important care to patients. It is hence necessary to measure nurses’ clinical reasoning by using a valid and reliable tool.

Objective

This study aimed to translate and determine the psychometric test of Persian version of the nurses clinical reasoning scale.

Methodology

This study was a cross-sectional study. In the first step of this methodological study, the English version of Nurses Clinical Reasoning Scale (NCRS) was translated and back-translated. Then the content validity index (CVI) of the items was assessed based on expert views, and its face validity was examined by studying the views of the target group and experts. In the next step, 170 nurses working in hospitals affiliated with Tabriz University of Medical Sciences were asked to complete the instrument. Finally, the construct validity and reliability of this scale were measured using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha), respectively.

Results

The findings showed that the CVI values of all the items were greater than .8. The wording of some items was changed based on the suggestions received regarding face validity, whereas the results of content and face validity did not necessitate the elimination of any of the items. The EFA results also suggested that the Persian version of the NCRS had a two-factor structure with the titles of nursing diagnosis and care knowledge. The Cronbach’s alpha for this scale was 0.91, which confirmed its internal consistency.

Conclusion

This instrument is valid and reliable enough to assess Iranian nurses’ clinical reasoning in the dimensions of nursing diagnosis and care knowledge. The research limitations and further recommendations will be discussed later in this paper.
SLN Mediate Active Delivery of Gefitinib into A549 Cell Line: Optimization,
Biosafety and Cytotoxicity Studies
Authors: Sherif Abdelrahman Y. , Harisa Gamaleldin I. , Alanazi Fars K.
Published: December 2022

Background:

Conventional administration of chemotherapeutic agents associated with low drug distribution to cancer cells with multiple systemic toxicities. Thus, enhancing the active delivery of chemotherapeutic agents to cancer cells increases drug distribution and internalization to targeted cells with minimal systemic toxicities.

Objective and Aim:

The current study was designed to prepare and optimize solid lipid nanoparti-cles (SLN) containing stearic acid (SA) that mediate active delivery and uptake of gefitinib (GEF) to cancer cells.

Methods:

The stability of the prepared Plain-SLN formulations was characterized for 90 days. The most stable formulations were loaded with GEF (GEF-SLN) and subjected to pharmaceutical char-acterization. In-vitro dissolution of GEF-SLN formulations was studied using the dialysis method. Biosafety in the terms of hemocompatibility was investigated using fresh blood samples. Addition-ally, the cytotoxicity of GEF-SLN was examined against the lung cancer cell line (A549).

Results:

The obtained results showed that the prepared formulations fall in the nanosize range from 114 to 411 nm with a negative zeta-potential value from -17 to -27 mV. The particle size of Plain-SLN formulations was increased when the GEF is incorporated during preparation. Besides, the crystallinity of SA was disordered following the incorporation of GEF. In addition, GEF entrapment efficiency into SLN was 88% with a sustained-release profile of about 75% in 24 h. Additionally, the present results revealed that using surfactants with high drug solubility negatively impacts the stability of SLN formulation. Furthermore, hemocompatibility results revealed that all SLN formu-lations showed insignificant hemolysis (1- 4%) at all concentrations. Moreover, cytotoxicity exami-nations revealed that SLN enhanced the antiprofilated activity of GEF compared to free GEF.

Conclusion:

These data concluded that SLN is a hopeful approach to enhancing the selective depo-sition of GEF into cancer cells and reducing the lymphatic metastasis of lung cancer.

Authors: Rani Marnia
Published: December 2022

This paper discusses the regulation regarding the use of brands originating from fictional characters, both from famous comics and animation, which are registered or unregistered for use by other parties. This normative legal approach examines laws and regulations, legal doctrines, and legal documents relating to brands originating from fictional characters. The results show that the unauthorized use of Marks derived from a wll-known animation characters by other parties can be sued under Law Number 20 of 2016 concerning Marks and Geographical Indications, because they can mislead the public regarding the origin, quality, type, size, variety, the purpose of using goods and/or services. Meanwhile, since Article 83 does not stipulate that the unauthorized use of a mark by another party must be registered, the owner of a registered mark may file a lawsuit against the use of a mark originating from a well-known fictional character against another party even though the other party does not register it.

Berkurangnya vegetasi penutup lahan dan adanya proses pengolahan tanah seperti pemadatan akan mengubah karakteristik laju infiltrasi pada suatu lahan. Studi ini ditujukan untuk mengetahui pengaruh sifat fisik tanah terhadap laju infiltrasi dengan menggunakan model regresi linear berganda. Kajian ini dilakukan pada lahan pertanian yang berada di DAS Lesti. Pada setiap titik dilakukan pengambilan data infiltrasi menggunakan alat Double Ring Infiltrometer dan pengambilan sampel tanah. Dari hasil analisis korelasi dan determinasi didapatkan bahwa variabel ln sand, ln clay dan ln kadar air memiliki nilai koefisien korelasi dan determinasi yang baik. Setelah itu kemudian dilakukan pembuatan beberapa model regresi linear berganda. Dari hasil analisis tersebut, model regresi yang menggunakan variabel ln clay dan ln kadar air mampu memenuhi uji asumsi klasik dan uji hipotesis dengan kekuatan variabel ln clay dan ln kadar air secara bersama-sama mampu menjelaskan variabel ln laju infiltrasi awal sebesar 88,4%. Dari hasil uji validasi model menunjukkan bahwa nilai pemodelan regresi mendekati dengan hasil pengukuran di lapangan.

In this work, the convergence kinetics investigations of the SA and SB steps on Si(100) substrates with inclination 0.5o and 0.1o were carried out. Analysis of the time dependence of reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) intensity was used to establish the growth kinetics character on vicinal Si(100) surfaces. It is shown that, in a Si flow at the growth rate of 0.37 ML/s, the step convergence velocity has a decreasing exponential dependence with the temperature increase. It is determined that the single-domain surface formation velocity increases with an increase in the terrace width on the surface, which may be due to the partial participation of growth due to the formation of two-dimensional islands. Above a temperature of 650°C, the dominant growth mode is due to the step movement and the single-domain surface formation velocity decreases with an increase in the terrace width. Thus, the single-layer step convergence is determined by both the MBE growth conditions and the Si(100) substrate orientation. The convergence of SA and SB steps of the Si(100) surface is explained by the slowdown of the step SA motion, which is associated with complex permeability mechanisms and a kink formation of steps. It is assumed that the reason for the slowdown of the step convergence with increasing temperature is an increase in the kink density at the SA step, which reduces the step SA permeability coefficient.

The diffusion mode of the non-steady-state photo-EMF excitation is investigated in periodically poled MgO:LiNbO₃ crystal at light wavelength λ=457 nm. The signal excitation is carried out along the polar axis of the crystal; the dependencies of the signal amplitude versus the phase modulation frequency, intensity and spatial frequency of the interference pattern are studied in this geometry. The analysis of these dependencies allows determining the photoelectric parameters of the material – the type, value and relaxation time of the photoconductivity, as well as the diffusion length of charge carriers.

The structure, IR absorption and luminescence spectra, and morphology of Lu0.99xSmxEu0.01BO3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.99) orthoborates synthesized at 970°С were studied. With an increase in the Sm3+ concentration, a successive change of five structural states is observed: calcite (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.1) → calcite + vaterite (0.1 < x < 0.3) → vaterite (0.3 ≤ x ≤ 0.95) → vaterite + a triclinic phase (0.95 < x ≤ 0.98) → a triclinic phase (0.98 < x ≤ 1). A wide range of Sm3+ concentrations at which the vaterite phase (0.3 ≤ x ≤ 0.95) exists and a very narrow region of triclinic phase formation (0.98 < x ≤ 1) are important distinctive features of this system. Correspondence between the structure and spectral characteristics of these compounds was established. It is shown that the vaterite phase appears in the bulk of the microcrystals of the samples that have a calcite structure.

The world is becoming more dependent on energy resources, which translates into political dependency on energy-exported states. This will significantly impact the economy, transport, and the environment around the world. Railway transport is becoming an essential mode of transportation because it can operate on an electrified network and has zero carbon emissions. High-Speed Railways (HSR) is an energy-intensive transport system, and it is important economically and environmentally to reduce the amount of used energy. This study examined high-speed rail from an energy efficiency point of view and found factors that can significantly reduce the energy consumption of high-speed rail. This research aims to answer the question that motivated this research: what fundamental factors affect the energy consumption of the selected HSR systems? It estimated the dynamic changes in the total energy consumption for seven HSR systems from 2010-2017 and benchmarked the most energy efficient HSR systems. The non-radial Data Envelopment Analyses methodology has been used to fulfil this research. To conduct complex statistical analyses, IBM SPSS has been applied. The main findings have shown that the decrease in vehicle mass, improved design of high-speed rolling stock and increased occupancy of trains will support the reduction of energy consumption by high-speed railways. The changes in energy consumption strongly correlate with the type of high-speed rolling stock and operational strategies. The expected outcomes of this research will contribute to developing and advancing more sustainable HSR systems. This research will support train operators in making decisions when acquiring new trains and assess the benefits of acceleration in modernising the current rolling stock.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused everyone to feel anxious. The government has made several preventive strategies to inhibit the spread of the virus through social distancing, physical distancing, and the stay at home order which lead to the decreasing access to family, friends, and other social support systems and causing loneliness and increasing psychological problems such as anxiety and depression. Thus, everyone, especially teenagers, are expected to be able to adapt to the new habits (the new normal) in carrying out healthy and clean-living behaviour. Those who are prone to COVID-19 gradually develop adaptive and functional skills and competencies, and build a self-identity that can prepare themselves to carry out their roles and respond to societal expectations as they mature, which can also be regarded as a period of storms and stress. Objectives: Is to identify the relationship of coping strategies with resilience and anxiety in the transition to the new normal during the COVID-19 pandemic on teenagers in Kupang City.

Methods: The research design used in this study was cross-sectional. The sample in this study was 147 measured using the inclusion and exclusion criteria that had been set. Meanwhile, the inclusion criteria in this study were as follows: domiciled in Kupang City, have stayed in Kupang for more than 3 years, aged over 15-19, and class VII of junior high school. The measuring instrument used in this study is the Ways of Coping questionnaire from Folkman to measure coping strategies, the self-rating anxiety scale (SRAS) questionnaire from Zung to measure anxiety, and the Gartland Questionnaire to measure resilience. The data analysis was conducted by using Chi Square test.

Results:The results showed p-value < 0.05 was a relationship of coping strategies with self-efficacy and anxiety on junior high school teenagers in Kupang City.

Conclusions: Coping strategies have a very significant relationship with self-efficacy and anxiety in adolescents. Adolescents who have good coping strategies have good self-efficacy during the new normal era. This is also similar to anxiety, adolescents who have good coping strategies have low anxiety.
