Effects of cool resistance exercise on oxygen metabolism in muscle tissue and clinical application
Authors: Goto Masahiro
Published: November 2021

Resistance training is beneficial for elite athletes and the elderly, alike. It plays a key role in healthy ageing, helping retain muscle mass, and it can also help reduce the chances of chronic diseases such as osteoporosis and high blood pressure. In order for resistance exercise
to be effective, there is an ongoing need for proven techniques that can assist with their resistance training. Professor Masahiro Goto, Director of the Department of Physical Therapy, Aino University, Japan, works to understand the physiological dynamics at play during resistance exercise
with a view to developing novel exercise methods and using new technologies to improve resistance exercise outcomes. A brief intramuscular hypoxic state is key to promoting muscle growth and this has therefore been a target for improving resistance techniques, but a challenge arises in terms
of monitoring hypoxia. That is why Goto is looking to establish a method that can accurately, quickly and cheaply test the intramuscular oxygenation state during resistance exercise. Recognising the potential of near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), he performed a study on volunteers who have
resistance exercise carrier more than one year over eight weeks to find out whether NIRS can be used as an effective measure of internal muscular oxygenation levels and if cold pack treatment of muscles prior to exercise results in better muscle mass gain. He used electromyograms to measure
muscle contraction, ultrasound to monitor changes in muscle mass and arterial oxygen saturation measurements to elucidate oxygenation levels. He found that NIRS was effective for routine monitoring of oxygen levels and that cold pack treatment during resistance exercise causes higher muscle
activity and creates a more hypoxic muscular environment than without any cold treatment.

The luminescence excitation energy transfer in europium and terbium indole-3-carboxylates, indole-3-acetates and indole-3-propionates as well as ternary indolecarboxylates containing 1,10-phenanthroline and 2,2'-bipyridine molecules have been studied. The luminescence excitation spectra, the lifetimes of the 5D0 (Eu3+) and 5D4 (Tb3+) states, and the luminescence intensity are analyzed. The decisive role of ligand-metal charge transfer (LMCT) states in the quenching of the luminescence of europium aromatic carboxylates containing a π-excessive pyrrole or indole fragment is demonstrated. Most europium compounds are characterized by quenching due to the depopulation of the 5D0 state of the Eu3+ ion through the low-energy LMCT state. But in some ternary compounds, the LMCT state being of higher energy participates in the nonradiative depopulation of the excited electronic states of the ligand.
Mechanisms of Smartphone Apps for Cigarette Smoking Cessation: Results of a Serial Mediation Model From the iCanQuit Randomized Trial (Preprint)
Authors: Bricker Jonathan B , Levin Michael , Lappalainen Raimo , Mull Kristin , Sullivan Brianna , Santiago-Torres Margarita
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND

Engagement with digital interventions is a well-known predictor of treatment outcomes, but this knowledge has had limited actionable value. Instead, learning why engagement with digital interventions impact treatment outcomes can lead to targeted improvements in their efficacy.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to test a serial mediation model of an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) smartphone intervention for smoking cessation.

METHODS

In this randomized controlled trial, participants (N=2415) from 50 US states were assigned to the ACT-based smartphone intervention (iCanQuit) or comparison smartphone intervention (QuitGuide). Their engagement with the apps (primary measure: number of logins) was measured during the first 3 months, ACT processes were measured at baseline and 3 months (acceptance of internal cues to smoke, valued living), and smoking cessation was measured at 12 months with 87% follow-up retention.

RESULTS

There was a significant serial mediation effect of iCanQuit on smoking cessation through multiple indicators of intervention engagement (ie, total number of logins, total number of minutes used, and total number of unique days of use) and in turn through increases in mean acceptance of internal cues to smoke from baseline to 3 months. Analyses of the acceptance subscales showed that the mediation was through acceptance of physical sensations and emotions, but not acceptance of thoughts. There was no evidence that the effect of the iCanQuit intervention was mediated through changes in valued living.

CONCLUSIONS

In this first study of serial mediators underlying the efficacy of smartphone apps for smoking cessation, our results suggest the effect of the iCanQuit ACT-based smartphone app on smoking cessation was mediated through multiple indicators of engagement and in turn through increases in the acceptance of physical sensations and emotions that cue smoking.

Barriers and facilitators for the usage of a personal health record for medication reconciliation: a qualitative study among patients (Preprint)
Authors: van der Nat Denise , Huiskes Victor J B , Taks Margot , van den Bemt Bart J F , van Onzenoort Hein A W
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND

Transitions in care are a risk factor for medication discrepancies, which can be identified and solved with medication reconciliation (MR). However, MR is a time consuming process, its effect on clinical outcomes is limited and a central role for patients is missing. As multiple organizations stimulate a more central role for patients in healthcare, personal health records (PHRs) are more often applied in medical care. However, patients’ adoption rate of using a PHR for MR is low.

OBJECTIVE

Therefore, the aim of this study was to provide insight into patients’ barriers and facilitators for the usage of a PHR for MR prior to an in- or outpatient visit.

METHODS

A qualitative study was conducted among PHR users and non-users who had a planned visit at the in- or outpatient clinic. About one week after the visit, patients were interviewed about barriers and facilitators for the use of a PHR for MR using a semi-structured interview guide based on the theoretical domains framework. Afterwards, data were analysed following thematic content analysis.

RESULTS

In total, 10 PHR users and 10 PHR non-users were interviewed. The barriers and facilitators were classified in four domains: 1) patient, consisting of the barriers: limited (health) literacy and/or computer skills, limited perceived usefulness and/or motivation, concerns about data safety, no computer/smartphone, and poor memory, and the facilitators: perceived importance/usefulness and place and time independent;
2) application, consisting of the barriers: practical and technical issues, poor usability and missing functionalities, and the facilitators: improve usability and add functionalities;
3) process, consisting of the barrier: ambiguity about who is responsible, the patient or the healthcare provider, and the facilitators: check by healthcare providers, more frequent update of medication list by healthcare providers and target patients who benefit most and/or have sufficient skills; 4) context, consisting of the barriers: lack of data exchange and connectivity between ICT applications, privacy concerns, healthcare professional do not use the requested data, insufficient information provision and bad (timing) of invitations and reminders, and the facilitators: integration of different applications, information provision by healthcare providers and support of professionals and/or family.

CONCLUSIONS

Patients reported barriers and facilitators for using a PHR to perform MR are identified at the patient, application, process and context level. Furthermore, patients indicated that they become more engagement in their own healthcare when they use a PHR. To improve the implementation of MR by using PHRs, the barriers and facilitators need to be addressed to effectively develop and implement PHRs in the MR process.

Data integration, the processes by which data are aggregated, combined, and made available for use, has been key to the development and growth of many technological solutions. In health care, we are experiencing a revolution in the use of sensors to collect data on patient behaviors and experiences. Yet, the potential of this data to transform health outcomes is being held back. Deficits in standards, lexicons, data rights, permissioning, and security have been well documented, less so the cultural adoption of sensor data integration as a priority for large-scale deployment and impact on patient lives. The use and reuse of trustworthy data to make better and faster decisions across drug development and care delivery will require an understanding of all stakeholder needs and best practices to ensure these needs are met. The Digital Medicine Society is launching a new multistakeholder Sensor Data Integration Tour of Duty to address these challenges and more, providing a clear direction on how sensor data can fulfill its potential to enhance patient lives.
The Effectiveness of a Mobile Health Care App and Human Coaching Program in Primary Care Clinics: Pilot Multicenter Real-World Study (Preprint)
Authors: Ju HyoRim , Kang EunKyo , Kim YoungIn , Ko HyunYoung , Cho Belong
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND

As the global burden of chronic conditions increases, their effective management is a concern. Although the need for chronic disease management using mobile self-management health care apps is increasing, there are still many barriers to their practical application in the primary care field.

OBJECTIVE

This study evaluated the effectiveness of primary care services combining a mobile self-management health care app with human coaching for patients with chronic diseases in the current primary care system.

METHODS

A total of 110 patients (mean age 53.2, SD 9.2 years; 64 of 110, 58.2% female) with hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, or metabolic syndrome who visited one of 17 participating primary care clinics from September to November 2020 were included in this study. All participants recorded data regarding changes in body weight, sleep conditions, quality of life, depression, anxiety, stress, BMI, waist circumference, blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and blood lipids levels. The app user group (n=65) used a mobile self-management health care app with human coaching for 12 weeks, and the control group (n=45) underwent conventional self-managed health care.

RESULTS

Patients in the app user group reported significantly more weight loss than those in the control group—the body weight of the app user group decreased by 1.43 kg (95% CI –2.07 to –0.79) and that of the control group decreased by 0.13 kg (95% CI –0.67 to 0.41; P=.002). The weight loss was markedly greater after using the app for 9 weeks than that when used for 4 weeks or 5-8 weeks (P=.002). Patients in the app user group reported better sleep quality (P=.04) and duration (P=.004) than those in the control group.

CONCLUSIONS

The combination of primary care clinics and a mobile self-management health care app with human coaching results in better management of chronic conditions. This study shows that the primary care services combining a mobile self-management health care app with human coaching are effective in the current primary care system. An implication of this study is the possibility that a mobile self-management health care app with human coaching is a treatment option in the current primary care system.

Authors: Jansson Miia , Kääriäinen Maria , Pikkarainen Minna
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND

Knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that is increasing globally. Digital patient counseling is a promising but seldom researched approach to help patients get the right information at the right time for promoting a more active in their own care.

OBJECTIVE

To describe the experiences of counseling and perceptions of digital counseling among patients with knee osteoarthritis in primary health care.

METHODS

The data was collected through interviews from ten patients with knee osteoarthritis who had outpatient physical therapy in Finland during 2020–21. The data was analyzed using both inductive and deductive content analysis.

RESULTS

Overall, patients were highly satisfied with the counseling resources (e.g., facilities, counseling methods and materials, physiotherapists’ competence), the content of counseling (e.g., disease, treatment, and rehabilitation), and the implementation of counseling (e.g., interaction, patient-centered, goal-oriented). In addition, counseling was found to have positive benefits for the patients’ everyday life and continuity of care. However, diverse health information needs, as well as enablers and barriers in digital counseling, were identified.

CONCLUSIONS

This study highlights the diversity of needs from different individuals and the importance of patient-centeredness and goal-oriented counseling. In addition, it demonstrated a lack of knowledge in processing and using health information.
A qualitative thematic analysis of online UK diabetes health forums to assess experiences and perspectives of insulin therapy in Type 2 Diabetes (Preprint)
Authors: Allen-Taylor Maya , Ryan Laura , Upsher Rebecca , Winkley-Bryant Kirsty
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND

Despite the advent of newer therapeutic agents, many individuals with T2D will require insulin treatment. Insulin refusal and cessation of treatment in this group is common and their needs under explored.

OBJECTIVE

To understand the experiences and perspectives of individuals with type 2 diabetes who have been recommended or prescribed insulin therapy, expressed on online health forums.

METHODS

Setting: Retrospective archived forum threads from the two largest, freely and publicly accessible diabetes health forums in the UK were screened over a 12-month period (August 2019-20).

Design: Within the Diabetes UK forum, the search term ‘insulin (title only)’ was employed to identify relevant threads. Within Diabetes.co.uk, threads were screened within an existing ‘Type 2 with insulin’ message board. Three independent researchers coded the forum threads and posts. Pertinent themes and subthemes were identified and have been illustrated by paraphrasing of members quotes, to ensure anonymity.

Participants: n=299 posts from 29 threads from Diabetes UK and n=295 posts from 28 threads from Diabetes.co.uk, were analysed over the study period. Fifty-seven threads in total met the inclusion criteria and were included in the thematic analysis.

RESULTS

Four overarching themes with subthemes were generated to illustrate the unmet needs that had prompted members to seek information, advice and support outside of their usual care provision, via the forums: (1) unmet practical needs and self-management support; including insulin injection technique, titration, travel, driving with insulin and utilising new technology, (2) psychological and peer support; advice, encouragement and empathy, which was readily offered and well received, (3) seeking and providing extended lifestyle advice; discussions around alternative diet strategies, types of activity and their effects on glycaemia and body weight, and (4) relationships with health care professionals (HCPs); including recounting of problematic experiences such as paternalism, lack of HCP knowledge and inadequate provision of effective insulin focused diabetes self-management education.

CONCLUSIONS

This is the first study to utilise data from online health forums, to characterise the experiences and perspectives of people with T2D who are recommended or prescribed insulin therapy. The observed naturalistic conversations have generated useful insights. Our findings suggest there are additional needs that are not being currently met by health care providers. They also suggest that problematic relationships with HCPs remain a barrier to effective insulin therapy. The study results will help to directly inform insulin focused diabetes self-management and support strategies, in order to enable individuals to achieve their best outcomes.
‘Decolonising’ the clinical encounter via multi-criteria decision support (Preprint)
Authors: Dowie Jack , Kaltoft Mette Kjer
Published: November 2021

UNSTRUCTURED

According to researchers drawing on the ideas of Jürgen Habermas, Canadian patients and Danish General Practitioners are experiencing ‘colonisation’ of their ‘lifeworlds’ by ‘the system’, Their suggested remedy is to ensure that the clinical encounter, freed of strategic rationality, re-prioritises Habermasian ‘communicative action’ aimed at mutual understanding. However, Blau shows that such communicative action is, and should be, inextricably interwoven into means-end rationality, when Habermas’ caricature of the latter is rejected. We argue that the decision support framework provided by Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis can help produce the ‘communicative means-end rationality’ essential in a public health service based on role-respecting sincerity and autonomy. No ‘positivistic reduction’ is involved in the technique.

Micromundos biominerales en las algas rojas
Authors: Valdespino Patricia M. , Bautista García Andrea , Pi-Puig Teresa , Favoretto Fabio , Espinosa Matías Silvia , N. Holman Hoi-Ying , Blanco-Jarvio Anidia
Published: November 2021

Las algas rojas coralinas (rodofitas) habitan las costas, coloreando estas regiones con una hermosa tonalidad roja o rosada, y son tan duras y afiladas que, de ser pisadas, causarían dolor al pie descalzo. Entre sus diminutas ramas, muchos organismos se desarrollan y encuentran refugio. La fotosíntesis de las algas coralinas conduce a la formación de estructuras de carbonatos con una arquitectura fascinante. Pero tanto el alga como sus microorganismos asociados (microbiota) participan en la formación de estos biominerales, que se acumulan y cementan los materiales que forman las playas y las costas. Los carbonatos son susceptibles a la química ácido-base, por lo tanto, su estabilidad estructural y su disolución dependen del pH del medio que los rodea. Por tanto, estos biominerales y los organismos marinos que los forman (como algas, corales, moluscos o equinodermos) son vulnerables a la acidificación del océano.
La curiosidad por ver lo que nuestros ojos no pueden nos llevó a entender que las delicadas ramitas de las algas coralinas esconden una asombrosa fortaleza estructural donde la microestructura y la química son elementos clave, pues encontramos que minerales con una gran estabilidad estructural y térmica constituyen el cuerpo, o talo, de las algas. Hoy en día las algas rojas y verdes coralinas son modelos vivos de gran interés para la ciencia básica, para capturar carbono en estructuras estables. Así, esta área de investigación puede inspirar el desarrollo de estrategias para mitigar el cambio climático.

The COVID-19 pandemic reflects in an intense and complex way in social, economic and cultural processes globally, also due to its sanitary nature in the work environment, a phenomenon that impacts and can have repercussions on workers' health. The general objective of this article was to analyze the influence that the pandemic scenario has on the mental health of professionals working in the health area, taking into account their work, quality of life and satisfaction with the organization. The methodology selected for the research was descriptive, qualitative, classified as a bibliographic research, in which the following descriptors were applied: satisfaction and quality of life in the work context, selecting academic sources of information that responded to the proposed objectives and that presented in the context of the pandemic. The results point to the fact that teams from healthcare organizations can be more affected in the context of the scenario, such as the nurses' class. It is portrayed that these professionals are doubly affected by the pandemic, in their work environment, while occupying the front line in the fight against the virus, and in their personal life, when they face the effects of social isolation, the absence of schools as partners, financial insecurity and related issues. Thus, it is concluded that the satisfaction and quality of life in the work environment was significantly affected by the pandemic, contributing to the development even psychological suffering in various spheres, including work stress, especially in environments where professionals from health.

La importancia de las cabras en México radica en que su producción se concentra en zonas áridas y semiáridas del norte y el centro del país, y particularmente en la región de la Mixteca en los estados de Oaxaca, Guerrero y Puebla, donde prevalece la pobreza y donde la especie, es capaz de sobrevivir y producir leche y cabritos. El estudio de las enfermedades de las cabras en México es escaso; el INIFAP se ha caracterizado por nunca haber dejado de lado la investigación en esta especie. En esta revisión, se abordan las principales enfermedades que afectan a las cabras en México y se describen las investigaciones que sobre ellas ha desarrollado el INIFAP. Los problemas de salud que enfrentan la mayoría de los rebaños caprinos en los que se ha realizado investigación, demuestran que algunos trastornos reproductivos son causados por enfermedades como brucelosis, leptospirosis y clamidiasis, todas éstas consideradas endémicas y con potencial zoonótico. Por otra parte, los problemas de tipo respiratorio y digestivo son los principales padecimientos que afectan a los cabritos. En las cabras en etapa productiva del territorio nacional, se ha demostrado una frecuencia elevada de animales con artritis encefalitis, enfermedad causada por la infección de Lentivirus de los pequeños rumiantes, paratuberculosis y linfadenitis caseosa, estas últimas de origen bacteriano; una particularidad de estas tres enfermedades es su característica de cronicidad, lo que hace pensar de manera equívoca al productor que su presencia no tiene mayor impacto dentro de los rebaños. Finalmente, se ha logrado detectar la presencia de la fiebre Q, una enfermedad zoonotica actualmente considerada exótica en México, y que en otros países es frecuentemente asociada con trastornos reproductivos, abortos y ocasionalmente, problemas respiratorios en los animales. En las aportaciones del INIFAP hay que destacar el diagnóstico y el control de la brucelosis, que es la principal zoonosis bacteriana en nuestro país; además de haber contribuido a que enfermedades consideradas exóticas en México, se determine que ya son endémicas, y se cuente con las herramientas para su diagnóstico, siendo un reto para nuestro instituto realizar la transferencia de estas tecnologías a los laboratorios de diagnóstico de nuestro país.

Esta investigación se sustenta en un catastro georeferencial, topológico y fotográfico de 219 animitas de la región de Valparaíso, centrándose en la conflictualidad dialéctica entre un patrimonio institucional y uno de carácter informal en la ciudad de Valparaíso. La presencia de un gran número de animitas en la zona de conservación histórica y en algunos casos adheridas a monumentos históricos revela y materializa esta confrontación entre memoria hegemónica y memoria desobediente o contra memoria. El artículo concluye con la definición de esta contra memoria como un patrimonio de interferencia que dibuja y desdibuja los espacios museificados por las políticas patrimoniales.

La Patagonia, uno de los últimos lugares donde quedan tierras vírgenes, un lugar remoto, con servicios deficientes, donde se posan diversos imaginarios territoriales. Se le percibe como un refugio natural frente al colapso planetario y la degradación ambiental, por lo que se proyecta como antítesis de la vida cotidiana urbana, así como un lugar de interés para el capital transnacional por la posibilidad de desarrollar emprendimientos energéticos, mineros y acuícolas. Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar, a través de registros etnográficos y de información secundaria, las narrativas que diversos actores sociales configuran en y sobre la Patagonia, durante el proceso de expansión del capitalismo tardío, en un territorio de frontera.

La gestion d’un risque territorialisé en milieu urbain : exemple du dispositif ESPADA pour la gestion des crues rapides à Nîmes
Authors: Tchekemian Anthony , Boussageon Jeanne
Published: November 2021

En la geografía, el estudio de los riesgos se orienta esencialmente hacia la articulación entre la predicción, la prevención y la comprensión del riesgo. Entonces, ¿cómo predecir, anticipar y alertar antes de que ocurra el evento? Y consecuentemente, ¿cómo intervenir antes de tener la certeza, es decir, antes de que se produzca el evento? Un ejemplo de riesgo territorializado, donde la relación entre la comprensión, predicción y prevención parece funcionar, es el riesgo de inundación. Seguido de una terrible inundación ocurrida en Nîmes en 1988, analizamos cómo, por una conciencia colectiva, fue implementado por el municipio y el cuerpo de bomberos de Gard, un dispositivo de alerta y seguridad, denominado ESPADA, con el fin de evitar que un desastre departamental vuelva a suceder.
¿Turismo sostenible o ética el viaje? El valor de las diversidades culturales
Authors: Niglio Olimpia
Published: November 2021

El texto analiza la búsqueda de un posible equilibrio entre patrimonio, comunidad, turismo y dialogo intercultural; todos ellos temas de interés general actual y fundamentales para una correcta relación entre los hombres y la sostenibilidad del planeta, pero necesariamente implican también la participación del sistema político y económico. Observando el panorama mundial vemos, sin excepciones, un sistema geopolítico que los expertos definen de resiliencia, es decir de capacidad para reorganizar con éxito la vida en medio de las dificultades y poder reconstruir esta misma vida valorando las oportunidades positivas. Sin embargo, esta condición se puede volver en una forma de deformación negativa sin posibilidad de retorno sino tenemos las herramientas necesarias como para prever y gestionar este proceso de deformación/trasformación. En este artículo se reflexiona sobre estos conceptos partiendo de´l vínculo existente entre la sostenibilidad y la ética del viaje.
La producción de queso de cabra artesanal frente a la producción industrial: los crianceros de Río Hurtado y su experiencia en una planta quesera promovida por el Estado
Authors: PEZO ORELLANA LUIS
Published: November 2021

La ganadería caprina es la actividad pecuaria más importante de la región de Coquimbo, Chile, configurando un particular modo de producción y de vida cuyo principal producto, el queso de cabra artesanal, es el sustento de miles de personas pertenecientes a familias crianceras.En los años noventa y en la década siguiente, el Estado promovió emprendimientos asociativos para la produc-ción industrial de queso de cabra pasteurizado, los cuales se desplegaron en proyectos de plantas queseras en diversas comunas de la región.Este trabajo examina la experiencia de una planta quesera en la comuna de Río Hurtado, usando como prin-cipal fuente el testimonio de crianceros que participaron en ella. El análisis se articuló en tres ejes: a) los procesos participativos, b) las evaluaciones de los crianceros sobre su experiencia en la intervención y c) los efectos que esta experiencia ha tenido sobre sus propias perspectivas respecto al desarrollo rural. Los resulta-dos permiten reflexionar sobre la interacción de las intervenciones de desarrollo con la cultura local y sobre la persistencia de la producción artesanal del queso de cabra.

Aportamos herramientas para una Ley Nacional de la Agricultura Familiar en Argentina, debatiendo el rol de este sector en la institucionalidad de un modelo de desarrollo rural. La Agricultura Familiar es una forma presente y necesaria en la estructura económica y social argentina. Se requiere una definición que capte la complejidad de actores y especificidades territoriales. Son sujetos de políticas activas de producción y empleo que garanticen su presencia en el sistema, generando una estructura de sostén interinstitucional, ya que su estrategia es parte de una relación dialéctica de persistencia resistencia con las economías de enclave de un modelo agroexportador. Utilizan tecnologías medioambientalmente amigables y producen alimentos sanos para mercados de proximidad. Su racionalidad es muy diferente a la empresarial, tiene como finalidad repro-ducir las unidades domésticas, con distintos rasgos distintivos: perfil familiar de la unidad; fuerza del trabajo familiar; mercantilización parcial de la producción; indivisibilidad del ingreso familiar; preferencia por tecnolo-gías intensivas en mano de obra y pertenencia a un grupo territorial. Urgen políticas públicas y modalidades de intervención múltiples y específicas, enmarcadas en una concepción de desarrollo integral, para reducir asimetrías con el sector de agronegocios y propender a una mayor equidad, reconociendo el fundamental rol del Estado como regulador.

Numerical Study the Effect of Blade Number on Archimedes Screw Turbine Utilized in Pico-Hydro in Horizontal Position
Authors: Anggara Fajar
Published: November 2021

Application of Archimedes Screw Turbine (AST) on pico-hydro has been very popular due to its capability to has a high torque with small flow rate and environmentally friendly to biotic of vicinity. This study uses CFD to investigate AST performance when the number of blades is varied. Independency of mesh is conducted to find an efficient number of mesh and it is obtained at 80 thousand mesh. Variation A, B and C respectively has 4,6, and 9 blades varied to analyze the correspondence with torque, pressure loss and velocity contour. The results show that with a higher number of blades would make higher torque. This is because energy extraction from water would be more efficient at higher number blade. However, the side back at such number would arise such as the higher-pressure loss. This is corresponding to energy balance where a high delta pressure is proportional with a generated energy turbine.

The manufacturing industry in general cannot be separated from the role of the plastic industry. In Indonesia, there are 925 companies that produce various kinds of plastic products for the food and beverage industry, automotive industry, pharmaceutical industry and other industries. Companies are faced with challenges to improve their supply chain competitiveness, while plastic packaging companies generally do not have a comprehensive performance measurement framework in their supply chains. The purpose of this research is to select and determine the level of importance of the Key Performance Indicator (KPI) for measuring the supply chain performance of the plastic packaging industry using the SCOR and AHP framework. In the initial stage, 45 KPIs were identified, from the results of expert validation, 29 KPIs were distributed to the dimensions of reliability, responsiveness, flexibility, cost, and assets. At the level 1 hierarchy the greatest level of importance is generated in the dimensions of reliability (A1), asset management (E1), responsiveness (B1), cost (D1), and flexibility (C1) with weights of 0.262, 0.209, respectively. 0.191, 0.175, and 0.163. The largest distribution of KPIs is on the reliability dimension, namely 32%, followed by the cost dimension of 16%, 12% responsiveness, flexibility and asset management have the same distribution, namely 4%. Based on the results of weighting using the AHP method, a supply chain performance measurement framework is recommended in the case of the plastic packaging industry.

PT PELNI (Persero) is engaged in sea transportation and strives to design a comprehensive performance measurement system. The purpose of the research was to identify the indicators used by PT PELNI (Persero) as a measurement of employee performance, draft the concept of a balanced scorecard system in accordance with the measurement of the company's performance, and develop a balanced scorecard simulation design in accordance with the vision, mission, and strategy of PT PELNI (Persero). Measuring the company's performance using the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) method begins with SWOT analysis. This analysis aims to determine internal factors and external factors of the company. From the results of this analysis will be known the current position of the company and what strategies should be applied. The results showed that the company is in good shape, but facing challenges, so the strategy to choose is a diversification strategy. The final result of this study is the selection of several KPIs and 7 (seven) work programs that must be done, including improved efficiency of asset use, promoting cheap tickets during the covid-19 pandemic, efficiency and control utilization during the covid-19 pandemic, developing agency applications and automation of travel service systems, to ensure and monitor On-Time Performance (OTP) per ship, voyage account application development, improving education and training programs for employee self-development.
The direct and legacy effects of drying-rewetting cycles on active and relatively resistant soil carbon decomposition

Published: November 2021

Global climate change is expected to increase the frequency of drought
and heavy precipitation, which could create more frequent
drying-rewetting cycles (DWC) in the soils. Although DWC effects on SOC
decomposition has been widely studied, the effect of DWC and the
subsequent legacy effect on the decomposition of different SOC pools is
still unclear. We conducted a 128-d laboratory incubation to investigate
the DWC effects by using soils from old-field for 15 years (OF,
representing active SOC), bare-fallow for 15 years (BF), and bare-fallow
for 23 years plus extra 815-d incubation (BF+, representing relatively
resistant SOC). The experiment included nine 10-d DWC of three
treatments: 1) constant-moisture at 60% WHC, 2) mild DWC with 10-d
drying to 40% WHC and rewetting to 80% WHC, and 3) strong DWC with
10-d drying to 20% WHC and rewetting to 100% WHC. Following DWC
period, there was a 10-d stabilization period (adjusting all treatments
to 60% WHC), and then a 28-d extended incubation. During DWC period,
the strong DWC had strong effect on CO2 release compared with the
constant-moisture control, reducing the SOC decomposition from OF by 8%
and BF by 10%, while increasing the SOC decomposition of BF+ by 16%.
During extended period, both mild and strong DWC significantly increased
SOC mineralization of OF, but decreased that of BF and BF+. This legacy
effect compensated the changes in CO2 release during DWC period,
resulting in the minor response of SOC decomposition of OF and BF+ to
the DWC during the entire incubation.

Red blood cells (RBCs) act as mediators of vascular
injury in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). miR-210 plays a protective role in
cardiovascular homeostasis and is decreased in whole blood of T2DM mice. We hypothesized that downregulation of RBC miR-210 induces endothelial
dysfunction in T2DM. RBCs were co-incubated with arteries and endothelial
cells ex vivo and transfused in vivo to identify the role of miR-210
and its target protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) in endothelial dysfunction. RBCs from patients
with T2DM (T2DM RBC) and diabetic rodents induced endothelial dysfunction ex vivo and in vivo. miR-210 levels were lower in human T2DM RBC than in RBCs
from healthy subjects (H RBC). Transfection of miR-210 in human T2DM RBC rescued
endothelial function, whereas miR-210 inhibition in H RBC or RBCs from miR-210
knockout mice impaired endothelial function. Human T2DM RBC decreased miR-210 expression
in endothelial cells. miR-210 expression in carotid artery plaques was lower in
T2DM patients than in non-diabetic patients. Endothelial dysfunction induced by
downregulated RBC miR-210 involved PTP1B and reactive oxygen species. miR-210
mimic attenuated endothelial dysfunction induced by RBCs via downregulating
vascular PTP1B and oxidative stress in diabetic mice in vivo. These data reveal that the downregulation of RBC miR-210 is a novel mechanism driving the development of endothelial dysfunction in
T2DM.
