Latar Belakang: Penggunaan sosial media dapat membawa dampak negative kaitannya dengan ketidakpuasan akan bentuk tubuh dan arahan menuju ke kekurusan (drive to thinness) terutama pada perempuan muda, perhatian belebih pada citra tubuh (body image concern), dan berbagai isu terkait kebiasaan makan yang salah.Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan kebiasaan memposting swafoto pada SNS dengan kejadian eating disorder pada sejumlah negara serta faktor-faktor yang mungkin mempengaruhi.Metode: Sistematik review dilakukan pada paper dari Medline, Sciencedirect, Embase, dan Google Scholar dengan kata kunci “Selfie” dan “eating disorder”. Pencarian dibatasi pada kelompok populasi remaja hingga dewasa awal dan pada penggunaan Social Networking Sites.Ulasan: Kondisi eating disorder sering tidak disadari oleh individu, terutama pada kelompok remaja dan dewasa muda. Data terkait prevalensi eating disorder di Indonesia juga sangat terbatas, padahal, penggunaan media social di kalangan remaja dan dewasa muda Indonesia semakin meningkat seiring dengan mudahnya akses internet dan perkembangan chanel media sosial. Dari review sistematik yang dilakukan, hanya satu studi yang mendapatkan keterkaitan antara postingan selfie dengan eating disorder, yaitu bulimia. Namun, hampir semua memiliki kesimpulan bahwa penggunaan sosial media berkaitan dengan rendahnya kepercayaan diri,   ketidakpuasan terhadap bentuk tubuh, citra diri negative, serta berkaitan dengan karakteristik restriksi pola makan berlebihan.Kesimpulan: Telaah sistematik ini dapat menjadi acuan untuk pengembangan penelitian kedepan dengan memperhatikan fenomena sosial, penggunaan sosial media dan kaitannya dengan eating disorder maupun status gizi remaja dan dewasa awal.

Published: September 2022

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is a highly aggressive malignancy with a poor prognosis. Effective treatment with acceptable outcomes is yet to be found, with chemo- and radioresistance comprising major impediments towards this goal. Although upfront surgery is the established therapeutic approach for resectable and borderline resectable disease, neoadjuvant treatment has recently monopolized the interest in clinical trials. This also applies to locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinomas that could potentially be rendered operable. Chemotherapy and chemoradiotherapy are the most utilized therapeutic modalities in the neoadjuvant setting, while immunotherapy and targeting agents have been gaining significant attention. This critical review focuses on the clinical experience gained from retrospective and phase II/III randomized trials, reporting on the outcomes of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and chemoradiotherapy for pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Moreover, the ongoing trials, including those that involve immunotherapy and targeting agents, are summarized.
A One Health perspective on water contaminants
Authors: Prata Joana C.
Published: September 2022

One Health is a transdisciplinary approach considering human, animal, and environmental health, and is highly relevant to water management. The growing pressure of anthropogenic activities is leading to water contamination with biological, chemical, and physical contaminants. For example, pathogens may result from fecal contamination due to poor sanitation or livestock waste leachate, agrochemicals from intensive agricultural practices, sediments from soil erosion, or microplastics from a wide range of anthropogenic activities. These activities can have widespread impacts, as exemplified by nitrates leaching from agricultural fields to surface and drinking waters, which can impact human health (e.g., methemoglobinemia), animal health (e.g., abortions and hypoxia), and environmental health (e.g., eutrophication). Recommendations include an integrated One Health approach to water contamination prevention: (i) respect for sociocultural practices; (ii) improved land management; (iii) improved infrastructures for water and wastewater management; (iv) surveillance of water bodies; (v) improved agricultural practices; and (vi) prevention through environmental management systems.

Published: September 2022

Indonesia's SUMBAGUT 150 kV transmission of High Voltage Alternating Current Network (HVAC) system has considerable power losses. These power losses are a critical problem in the transmission network system. Meanwhile, this study provides one solution to reduce power losses using a High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) network system. Determining the location to convert HVAC into HVDC is very important. The authors use Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to get the optimal location on the 150 kV SUMBAGUT HVAC transmission network system. The study results showed that before using the HVDC network system, the power losses were 122.26 MW. Meanwhile, power losses with one transmission HVDC in the "Paya Pasir-Sei Rotan" are 84.16 MW, "Porsa-P. Siantar" 90.83 MW, "Paya Pasir-Paya Geli" 104.14 MW. Then power losses with two transmission HVDC in "Paya Pasir-Sei Rattan" and "Porsa-P. Siantar" is 71.24 MW, "Paya Pasir-Sei Rotan" and "Paya Pasir-Paya Geli" 77.46 MW, "Porsa-P. Siantar" and "Paya Pasir-Paya Geli" 78.52 MW. The last result, power losses with three transmission HVDC in "Paya Pasir-Sei Rotan," "Porsa-P. Siantar," and "Paya Pasir-Paya Geli" lost 64.57 MW.

Recent advancements in surgical and anti-cancer therapies have provided significant hope of long survival in patients with pancreatic cancer (PC). To realize this hope, routine medical checkups of asymptomatic people should be performed to identify operable PCs. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of medical checkups using abdominal ultrasonography (US). We retrospectively analyzed 374 patients with PC at our institute between 2010 and 2021. We divided these patients into several groups according to the diagnostic approach and compared their background and prognosis. These groups comprised PCs diagnosed through (a) symptoms, 242 cases; (b) US during medical checkup for asymptomatic individuals, 17; and other means. Of the 375 patients, 192 were men (51.3%), and the median age was 74 years (34–105). Tumors were located in the pancreatic tail in 67 patients (17.9%). Excision ratio and 5-year survival rate were significantly better in group (b) than in (a) (58.8% vs. 23.1%, P<0.01 and 42.2% vs. 9.4%, P<0.001, respectively). The prognosis of patients diagnosed using US during medical checkup was better than that of patients identified through symptomatic presentation of PC. US for asymptomatic individuals with PC might be useful for promoting better prognosis of PCs.

This work aims to investigate systematically the tecno-economic feasibility of ther-mos-catalytic cracking process for two solid waste materials, a lipid-base material (re-sidual fat/scum from retention box of the University Restaurant of UFPA) and a lig-nin-cellulosic material Açaí seed (Euterpe oleracea. Mart). The thermo-catalytic process-es were carried out in pilot scale (THERMTEK/LEQ/UFPA/IME/RJ), and their economic feasibility analyzed. The yields of biofuels produced by fractional distillation were al-so studied. The physicochemical characteristics of the raw materials, the organic liquid product (bio-oil) and the chemical composition of kerosene, light-diesel and heavy-diesel from the lipid-base material, as well as those of kerosene and light-diesel from the Açaí seed were also determined. The economic indicators for the evaluation of the most viable cracking (pyrolysis) and distillation process of bio-oils were: a) the sim-ple payback criterion, b) discounted payback, c) net present value (NPV), d) internal rate of return (IRR), and e) index of profitability (IP). The analysis of the indicators showed the economic viability of crude palm oil (Elaeis guineensis, Jacq) and unfeasibil-ity for the palm oil neutralization. The minimum fuel selling price (MFSP) obtained is this work for the biofuels was of 1.34 US$/L) and the breakeven point obtained was of 1.28 US$/L. The sensibility analysis demonstrated that the pyrolysis and distillation yields are the most important variables to affect the minimum fuel selling price (MFSP).
Impact of Land System Changes and Extreme Precipitation on Peak Flood Discharge and Sediment Yield in the Upper Jhelum Basin, Kashmir Himalaya
Authors: Romshoo Shakil Ahmad , Yousuf Aazim
Published: September 2022

The Kashmir valley is prone to flooding due to its peculiar geomorphic setup compounded by the rapid anthropogenic land system changes and climate change. The study assesses the impact of land use and land cover (LULC) changes between 1980 and 2020 and extreme rainfall on peak discharge and sediment yield in the Upper Jhelum Basin (UJB), Kashmir Himalaya, India using KINEROS2 model. Analysis of LULC change revealed a notable shift from natural LULC to more intensive human-modified LULC, including a decrease in vegetative cover, deforestation, urbanization, and improper farming practices. The findings revealed a strong influence of the LULC changes on peak discharge, and sediment yield relative to the 2014 timeframe, which coincided with the catastrophic September 2014 flood event. The model predicted a peak discharge of 115101 cubic feet per second (cfs) and a sediment yield of 56.59 tons/ha during the September 2014 flooding, which is very close to the observed peak discharge of 115218 cfs indicating that the model is reliable for discharge prediction. The model predicted a peak discharge of 98965 cfs and a sediment yield of 49.11 tons/ha in 1980, which increased to 118366 cfs and, 58.92 tons/ha respectively in 2020, showing an increase in basin’s flood risk over time. In the future, it is anticipated that the ongoing LULC changes will make flood vulnerability worse, which could lead to another major flooding in the event of an extreme rainfall as predicted under climate change and, in turn compromise achievement of sustainable development goals (SDG). Therefore, regulating LULC in order to modulate various hydrological and land surface processes would ensure stability of runoff and reduction in sediment yield in the UJB, which is critical for achieving many SDGs.

Objective: Type I interferon receptor (IFNAR) signaling contributes to several autoimmune and vascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and stroke. The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of IFNAR1 deficiency on the formation and progression of experimental abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs).
Methods: AAAs were induced in type I interferon receptor subunit 1 (IFNAR1) deficient and wild type control male mice via intra-infrarenal aortic infusion of porcine pancreatic elastase. Immunostaining for IFNAR1 was evaluated in experimental and clinical aneurysms. The initiation and progression of experimental AAAs was assessed via ultrasound imaging prior to (day 0) and 3-, 7-, and 14-days following elastase infusion. Aneurysmal histopathology was analyzed at sacrifice.
Results: Increased aortic medial and adventitial IFNAR1 expression was present in both clinical AAAs harvested at surgery and experimental AAAs. Following AAA initiation, wild type mice experienced progressive, time-dependent infrarenal aortic enlargement. This progression was substantially attenuated in IFNAR1 deficient mice. On histological analyses, medial elastin degradation, smooth muscle cell depletion, leukocyte accumulation and neoangiogenesis were markedly diminished in IFNAR1 deficient as compared to wild type mice.
Conclusion: IFNAR1 deficiency limited experimental AAA progression in response to intra-aortic elastase infusion. Combined with clinical observations, these results suggest a regulatory role for IFNAR1 activity in AAA pathogenesis.

(1) Background: Heavy and chronic alcohol intake causes altered gut-permeability and dysfunction; and exhibits a unique pro-inflammatory state. Thyroid-associated hormones and proteins may be dysregulated by alcohol administration; however, the impact of altered gut-derived changes on thyroid function is unclear. This study investigated the role of gut-dysfunction and pro-inflammatory activity on thyroid function in patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD). (2) Methods: Male and female AUD patients (n=44) were grouped as Gr.1 with normal thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels (n=28, 0.8≤TSH≤3 mIU/L); and Gr.2 with clinically elevated TSH levels (n=16, TSH> 3 mIU/l). Demographics, drinking measures, comprehensive metabolic panel, and candidate thyroid markers (TSH, circulating triiodothyronine [T3] and free thyroxine [fT4]) were tested. Plasma-derived gut-dysfunction associated markers (lipopolysaccharide [LPS], LPS-binding protein [LBP], and LPS-induced pathogen-associated protein [CD14]), and cytokine profile (IL1-β, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8, MCP-1, PAI-1) were analyzed and compared with the thyroid, demographic, and drinking markers. (3) Results: Both groups presented with a borderline overweight category of BMI. Gr.2 presented with numerically higher level of chronic and heavy drinking patterns vs Gr.1. fT4 levels were elevated while T3 was within normal limits in both the groups. Gut-dysfunction markers LBP and CD14 were numerically elevated in Gr.2 vs Gr.1 suggesting subtle ongoing changes; however, the difference was not statistically significant. All pro-inflammatory cytokines were significantly elevated in Gr.2 among IL1-, MCP-1, and PAI-1. Gr.2 showed a strong and statistically significant effect of gut-immune-pituitary response (r=0.896, p=0.002) on TSH levels in a multivariate regression model with LBP, CD14, and PAI-1 levels as upstream variables; this assessment was not significant in Gr.1. In addition, AUROC analysis demonstrated that many of the cytokines strongly predicted TSH in Gr.2, including IL-6 (area=0.774, p<0.001) and TNF- (area=0.708, p=0.017) among others. This was not observed in Gr.1. Gr.2 demonstrated elevated fT4 as well as TSH, which suggests that there was subclinical thyroiditis with underlying CNS dysfunction and lack of a negative feedback loop. (4) Conclusions: These findings reveal the toxic effects of heavy and chronic drinking that play a pathological role in thyroid gland dysregulation employing the gut-brain axis. These results also strongly emphasize potential directions to strongly consider thyroid dysregulation in the overall medical management of AUD.

Authors: Bryant Peter , Arehart Timothy
Published: September 2022

The life cycles and biodiversity of Pacific coast gastropods were analyzed by videomicroscopy and DNA barcoding of indi-viduals collected from tide pools and in plankton nets from a variety of shore stations. In many species (Families Calyptrae-idae, Cerithiopsidae, Strombidae, Vermetidae, Columbellidae, Nassariidae, Olivellidae, Hermaeidae, Onchidorididae, Gas-tropteridae, Haminoeidae), the free-swimming veligers were recovered from plankton collections; in Roperia poulsoni (family Muricidae) veligers were usually recovered from egg sacs where they had been retained although some escapees were found in plankton collections; in Pteropurpura festiva (family Muricidae) free-living veligers were also found; and in Atlanta californiensis (family Atlantidae) both veligers and adults were obtained from plankton collections making this a holoplank-tonic species. The results confirm that DNA barcoding using the COI barcode is a useful strategy to match life-cycle stages within species as well as to identify species and to document the level of biodiversity within the gastropods.
Phenotypic Variations, Environmental Effects and Genetic Basis Analysis of Grain Elemental Concentrations in Rice (Oryza sativa L.) for Improving Human Nutrition
Authors: Dwiningsih Yheni , Alkahtani Jawaher
Published: September 2022

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is primary dietary source for half of the global population that comprising both essential nutrients and toxic heavy metal elements for human health. A number of nutrients are required within the diet and generally lacking in human diets, and need to biofortify into the rice grains, such as iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), calcium (Ca), potassium (K), sodium (Na), magnesium (Mg), phosphorus (P), copper (Cu), iodine (I), selenium (Se), and Sulphur (S). Meanwhile, some elements are toxic to human, including arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), cobalt (Co), mercury (Hg), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), and lead (Pb) which need to be eliminated from the rice grains. This article reviews the aspects of phenotypic variation of grain elemental concentration in the diverse rice genotypes, relationship of environmental conditions and rice grain elemental accumulation, correlation between rice grain elemental content and others agronomic traits, and also genetic basis of grain elemental concentration in rice. All of these aspects are important to develop rice varieties with a balanced elemental nutrients and lower toxic heavy metal elements. Enhancing the concentration of essential mineral elements and reducing the accumulation of toxic elements in the rice grain are important to improve the rice quality for human health in addressing mineral deficiency and toxicity that could be accomplished by using plant breeding, agronomic, and genetic engineering approaches.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused detrimental impacts on different population groups throughout the world. This study aimed to explore the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic’s mandatory lockdown protocols on activities and mental health conditions of community-dwelling older people in Jakarta, Indonesia. A qualitative design using one-on-one in-depth interviews was employed to collect data from the participants (n=24) who were recruited using the snowball sampling technique. Data analysis was guided by a qualitative data analysis framework. The findings showed that before the COVID-19 outbreak participants engaged in different kinds of regular individual and social activities. However, the COVID-19 outbreak and its mandatory lockdown protocols significantly influenced both their activities and social life, which led to social disconnection and financial difficulties for them. COVID-19 outbreak, mandatory lockdown protocols, and disruption of individual and social activities of the participants also caused mental health challenges to them, including feelings of loneliness, loss, sadness, stress, and anger. The findings suggest that there is a need for intervention programs addressing the socio-economic and mental health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on older populations to help them cope with these challenges. Future studies involving large-scale older populations to comprehensively understand COVID-19 impacts on them are recommended.

The safety and security of an individual is important in our society. Bombing attacks can cause significant destruction and death. Energy efficient and compact bomb removal robots are challenging to develop because these typically involved a large array of sensors individually acquiring gas data. This study addresses this challenge by developing a multiple bomb-related gas prediction model using machine learning and the electronic nose sensor substitution technique. Three models can predict gasses such as ammonia, ethanol, and isobutylene using only carbon monoxide, toluene, and methane sensors. The feedforward artificial neural network (FFNN) with three hidden layers was optimized for the regression of each target gas. Consequently, ammonia, ethanol, and isobutylene predictions achieved R2 values of 1, 1, and 1 as well as MSE values of 0.35696, 0.052995, and 0.0022953, respectively. This study demonstrates that the sensor substitution model (BombNose) is highly reliable and appropriately sensitive in the field of bomb detection.

Pembalut merupakan alat sanitasi yang sudah tidak asing lagi bagi perempuan di Indonesia. Pembalut sekali pakai dapat ditemukan dengan mudah sehingga di Indonesia mayoritas perempuan menggunakan pembalut sebagai alat sanitasi saat menstruasi. Namun, penggunaan pembalut ini memberikan efek yang tidak baik untuk lingkungan. Menurut Yayasan Lembaga Konsumen Indonesia pada tahun 2015 menyatakan bahwa pembalut dan pantyliner dapat menimbulkan gangguan kesehatan reproduksi perempuan seperti keputihan, gatal gatal, iritasi, bahkan bisa menyebabkan kanker (Dinta & Eva, 2015) dan menyatakan jumlah limbah pembalut yang digunakan oleh perempuan kategori subur di Indonesia sebanyak 67 juta orang, diperkirakan mencapai 1,4 miliar per bulan. Rata-rata wanita menggunakan pembalut sebanyak 4-5 sekali pakai dalam satu hari, dalam sebulan dapat diperkirakan terdapat 300 pembalut per orang setiap tahunnya. Betapa repotnya bagi seorang wanita sedang mengalami menstruasi dan harus tetap menjalankan aktivitas,mungkin perlu beberapa kali dalam sehari untuk mngganti pembalut skali pakai ini. Pembalut yang sudah tidak terpakai jika tidak dikelola dengan baik dapat menimbulkan beberapa permasalahan yaitu diantaranya adalah masalah lingkungan, masalah kesehatan dan masalah estetika.

Published: September 2022

This is the first part of a two-part report that revisits and updates the verification and validation (V&V) of the Coastal Modeling System (CMS). The V&V study in this part of the report focuses on hydrodynamic and wave modeling. With the updated CMS code (Version 5) and its latest graphical user interface, the Surface-water Modeling System (Version 13), the goal of this study is to revisit some early CMS V&V cases and assess some new cases on model performance in coastal applications. The V&V process includes the comparison and evaluation of the CMS output against analytical solutions, laboratory experiments in prototype cases, and field cases in and around coastal inlets and navigation projects. The V&V results prove that the basic physics incorporated are represented well, the computational algorithms implemented are accurate, and the coastal processes are reproduced well. This report provides the detailed descriptions of those test simulations, which include the model configuration, the selection of model parameters, the determination of model forcing, and the quantitative assessment of the model and data comparisons. It is to be hoped that, through the V&V process, the CMS users will better understand the model’s capability and limitation as a tool to solve real-world problems.
Adjusting the social footprint methodology based on findings of subjective wellbeing research
Authors: Weidema Bo Pedersen
Published: September 2022

Purpose
Following some years of practical application, some weaknesses has been identified in the original 2018 version of the ‘social footprint’ methodology, where wellbeing was seen as exclusively related to consumption activities and as inseparably linked to production through the budget constraint, implying that the value of wellbeing was limited to be a mirror of the value of production. Several improvements in both methodology and data are presented here.
Methods
The theoretical improvements are inspired by the suggestion of Juster et al. (1981) that wellbeing can be seen as the sum of the value added generated from work and the intrinsic activity benefits, i.e., the positive affect from performing or taking part in specific work or leisure activities. This implies a relatively low preference for income relative to intrinsic activity benefits, which is confirmed by recent findings of subjective wellbeing research.
Results and discussion
Other findings of subjective wellbeing research provide a constraint on the conversion factor between Disability-Adjusted Life-Years (DALY) and Quality-Adjusted person-Life-Years (QALY), leading to a surprising 0.3 QALY/DALY, against the more intuitive 1 QALY/DALY. These theoretical improvements, combined with the availability of more recent country-specific data on impacts on wellbeing, allows to calculate a global potential level of wellbeing of 0.958 QALY/person-life-year, replacing the global potential productivity of the 2018 version of the ‘social footprint’ methodology. The new country-specific data allows the valuation of impacts on wellbeing to be assessed separately from the valuation of inequality, the latter now done with equity-weights relative to country-specific average income baselines, rather than to the global baseline used in the 2018 version.
Conclusion
The new data confirm the dominating role of impacts of missing governance, now quantified at 78% of all sustainability impacts, which was the original motivation and rationale behind the 2018 version of the ‘social footprint’ methodology.
Using Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) to assess the effectiveness of capping in old unlined landfills
Authors: Morita Alice K. M. , Pelinson Natalia S. , Wendland Edson
Published: September 2022

Engineered capping systems are efficient tools for the safety concept for landfills and contaminated land, consisting of multilayer barriers installed at the top of the deposited waste, even years after its closure. The efficiency of such systems is closely associated with avoiding rainwater infiltration into the waste body, a process that can be assessed and monitored with geophysical methods, such as Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT). A surface geomembrane capping of approximately 900m² was installed over an abandoned unlined landfill in southeastern Brazil and ERT surveys were adopted to assay the effectiveness of the intervention measure. It was possible to verify significantly more resistive regions below the geomembrane and an increase in conductivity values only at approximately 6 m, at the groundwater level of the area. Thus, the reduction of rainwater input possibly, even in the short term, reduces the moisture content and prevents the formation of leachate sheets in unlined landfills, leading the deposit to be more isolated from the surroundings. Lateral flow affected distances as far as 2.5 m from the capping borders, showing that about 70% of the capped area was effectively isolated from the rainfall infiltration. Therefore, capping contributed to reducing leachate production and can be considered an effective method for mitigating impacts from old unlined landfills.
Sex differences in vision and hearing impairments across age and European regions

Published: September 2022

Aims
Although sensory impairments are common conditions among the elderly, research often fails to consider the role of sex. We examine sex differences in vision impairment (VI) and hearing impairment (HI) across age and European regions.
Methods
A cross-sectional study based on a pooled sample of 120,537 Europeans aged 50 + participating in the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe. Logistic regression models were used to examine associations.
Results
Generally, women reported more VI than men. This was the case for both close vision (OR 1.07, 95% CI 1.03; 1.11) and distant vision (OR 1.49, 95% CI 1.41; 1.57). Contrarily, women reported less HI than men (OR 0.71, 95% CI 0.68; 0.74). However, sex differences varied by age and regions. Sex differences in VI increased with advancing age, whereas the sex gap in HI decreased. For close vision, a female disadvantage was found from age 65 in Western, Southern and Eastern Europe and from age 80 + in Northern Europe. For distant vision, the female disadvantage was more pronounced and persisted in almost all age groups in the four regions. The female advantage in HI was found in all regions except for ages 80 + in Northern and Southern Europe. For dual sensory impairment (i.e., impaired vision and hearing), no overall sex difference was found, but a female advantage was demonstrated at ages 50–64 in all regions except Southern Europe.
Conclusions
Our findings demonstrate an overall consistent pattern across Europe with a female disadvantage in vision but an advantage in hearing.
