Authors: Elkholy Ola Abdelmoneim , Farouk Attia Gihan , Salah Ibrahim Wesam , Selim Amal
Published: December 2022

Introduction: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the major microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus. Patients with diabetic nephropathy are at a higher risk of morbidity and mortality than those without nephropathy. In this case, early diagnosis and prevention of DM are crucial. SIRT1, which is among the seven members of sirtuins, is recognized as an important element in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes, therefore it has several actions in the diabetic nephropathy that will be further discussed in this study. This study will analyse the relationship between SIRT1 gene polymorphism and serum sirt1 in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy.
Aim of the study: evaluation of the association of Silent Information Regulator1 (SIRT1) gene polymorphism and serum SIRT1 protein with type 2 diabetic patients and their role in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy.
Subjects and Methods: This study was carried out on 120 subjects with matched age and sex. They were divided into 3 groups: (Group 1: 40 diabetic nephropathy patients, Group 2: 40 diabetic patients without diabetic nephropathy, Group 3: 40 healthy control subjects ) to discuss the association of sirt1 gene polymorphism and the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy.
Results: The mean levels of the serum SIRT1 protein was significantly increasing in the diabetic nephropathy group than the diabetics without diabetic nephropathy and the controls, while it was not significant between the diabetics without DN and the control group.
Conclusion: Basedon this study, SIRT1 gene polymorphism is a significant factor in the development and progression of DN.

Published: December 2022

O seguinte trabalho tem como objetivo geral investigar a disposição dos materiais de absorção sonora em salas de aula, através dos parâmetros acústicos obtidos. As salas de aula têm como função a promoção da aprendizagem através da comunicação oral e da audição. Assim, uma das principais propriedades físicas que determinam o sucesso desta função é a qualidade acústica das salas de aula. A inteligibilidade da fala é um dos parâmetros mais relevantes e pode ser melhorado minimizando o ruído e reduzindo a reverberação. Uma tática para diminuir a reverberação de uma sala é o amortecimento das ondas sonoras, utilizando materiais absorventes como: cadeiras acolchoadas, cortinas, carpetes e painéis de absorção sonora (PAS). No entanto, a influência do posicionamento dos elementos, principalmente dos PAS, é pouca estudada. Para a realização os experimentos das posições com as PAS, utilizamos o Laboratório de Mecânica Aplicada (LabMEC), localizado na UFG. Baseado na ISO 3382-2 foram selecionados 2 e 3 pontos distintos para a fonte sonora e receptor, respectivamente, 5 configurações de quantidade de PAS e 3 posicionamentos dos PAS, resultando em um experimento fatorial completo geral com 4 fatores. Os testes foram feitos variando de zero a quatro PAS, sempre em diferentes posições. Os dados obtidos foram analisados pela técnica da análise de variância (ANOVA), almejando identificar os fatores mais significativos para o desempenho acústico do ambiente. Devido ao efeito dos PAS no amortecimento do som, espera-se que quanto maior quantidade de painéis, melhores serão os parâmetros acústicos. Além disso, a comparação dos leiautes quanto à disposição dos painéis, possibilitará a elucidação de quais posições melhorarão o tratamento acústico em salas de aula. Ao final, através da ANOVA  será possível concluir que o desempenho acústico de uma sala de aula pode ser melhorado considerando outros fatores além da quantidade de PAS.

Aim: HELLP syndrome is a life-threatening condition frequently associated with severe preeclampsia-eclampsia and is characterized by hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes and low plateletes. The aim of our study was to evaluate retrospectively the patients with HELLP syndrome admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Material and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 19 patients with HELLP syndrome admitted to ICU between January 2011 and December 2015. Results: The mean maternal age was 30.0 ± 5.1 years and the mean gestational age was 32.2 ± 4.8 weeks of 19 patients with HELLP syndrome admitted to the ICU. The mean Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation System (APACHE II) score, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) were 25.9 ± 4.0, 14.2 ± 2.8 and 5.2 ± 2.7 at ICU admission, respectively. Mechanical ventilation was required for 12 patients (63.6%). Eight patients (42.1%) had acute kidney injury and only 1 patient was required renal replacement therapy. Therapeutic plasma exchange was performed to 11 patients (57.9%). Three patients (15.8%) had dissemine intravascular coagulation (DIC), 5 patients (26.3%) acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), 3 patients (15.8%) septic shock, and 1 patient (5.3%) cardiogenic shock. The mean length of ICU stay was 8.1 ± 4.7 days. Both of maternal and fetal mortality rate was 10.5%. Conclusion: Maternal/fetal morbidity and mortality are high in HELLP syndrome. Early diagnosis, close follow-up in intensive care unit, appropriate treatment and management by multidisciplinary team may prevent complications and improve prognosis of HELLP syndrome.

Modelling Techniques for Conjunctive Water Management: A Review
Authors: Bai E.B. Gilsha , Rema K.P.
Published: December 2022

Optimal allocation of surface water and groundwater is the key factor for conjunctive water management. Proper planning is necessary for optimal allocation of water for maximizing crop yield benefits and/or minimizing water quality problems. With the advent of computers, by the late 1960s, computer-aided mathematical models came into use to help decision-makers in planning conjunctive water management. Optimization models were popular in the early decades. Then researchers came to know the advantage of mimicking the situations and analyzing them before arriving at optimal solutions. Thus, simulation models and integrated simulation-optimization models came into existence. Multi-objective models were developed to solve more complicated physical situations. The computational burden of running thousands or lakhs of simulations before getting an optimum solution, generated evolution algorithms like ANN and GA to reduce the running time of models and obtain a more accurate solution. Even now we can’t say the modelling approach is perfect to solve the real-world water-related issues that involve complicated physical phenomenon. A model which is more accurate, simpler and very near to real situations, may be developed in near future.

Published: December 2022

Background: The usage of banana waste pseudostems has drawn more attention in recent years. Additionally, it is said that these banana waste components are rich in vitamins and minerals, notably dietary fibre. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of substituting dietary maize with sun dried banana pseudostem (BP) in their feed on performances of crossbred grower pigs. Methods: The current study was carried out between 2020-2021 on forty eight (48) Hampshire crossbred grower pigs, that were randomly divided and allotted to 4 compounded dietary treatments by replacing dietary maize with sun dried BP by 0% (T0), 10% (T1), 20% (T2) and 30% (T3) in their ration. By modifying the amounts of maize with BP, all compounded diets were rendered isonitrogenous and isocaloric. Result: Results indicated significant (p less than 0.05) improvement in the total body weight gain and average daily gain (ADG) in both male and female crossbred pigs fed ration T2 in comparison to the other groups. The performances of the both female and male pigs were significantly (p less than 0.05) lower when dietary levels of BP were increased up to 30% (T3). The feed cost/kg live weight gain in group T2 was significantly (p less than 0.05) lower than the control group in both the sexes. In conclusion, crossbred grower pigs can tolerate up to 20% dietary substitution of maize with BP in the ration without compromising their growth, blood biochemical parameters, reproductive performances and carcass quality. Incorporation of 20% sun dried BP resulted in lowered feed cost.

Published: December 2022

A language is a communication tool that has many functions. In academic writing, language performs certain functions, such as providing information, analyzing, comparing, and categorizing. Quality academic writing should show proper educational function through accurate and appropriate language. This study investigated academic language functions in Arabic language research articles. This study is based on several issues, such as the weaknesses of students and researchers in producing quality research reports, the need to understand the diversity of the academic language function in Arabic, as well as the lack of studies in the literary language based on the function of the academic language in Arabic. This study uses the descriptive qualitative approach and content analysis method. The analyzed content was sentenced that contained academic language functions. Sentences containing academic language functions were taken from 30 research articles in the field of Arabic written by native Arabic speakers. The analysis of language functions in the study was done using 12 academic language functions by Chamot and O'Malley (1994) and Dutro and Muran (2003). The study results found that writers use various academic functions to achieve the desired purpose. Various language registers are used for the function to be presented. Similarly, the use of language functions was also influenced by multiple aspects such as the research components (problem statement, objectives, etc), factors of the type of study (quantitative and qualitative), and others. For example, predicting and hypothesizing functions and problem-solving functions are more likely to be used in quantitative studies. This differs from qualitative studies that use other functions, such as informing and summarizing. In conclusion, the writers were seen to be successful in conveying the function of academic language in their writing by using appropriate vocabulary and sentences according to the function they wanted to share.

Published: December 2022

Background: Physiological changes in a woman's life, such as labor, weight fluctuations, hormonal changes, aging, and menopause, cause changes in both appearance and function of the vagina. As estrogen deficiency continues, changes occur in the form of atrophy and dystrophy in the vaginal mucosa, vulva, and other structures in the urogenital tract which are called symptoms of vulvovaginal atrophy. It affects women's quality of life, self-confidence, and sexuality. As alternative modality for noninvasive therapy, topical therapy in vaginal rejuvenation is becoming available in the care of outpatients. This makes it increasingly important for dermatologists to be well-informed about these treatment options. Purpose: This review aims to assess the role of topical therapy in vaginal rejuvenation, especially in vulvovaginal atrophy cases. Literature Review: Vulvovaginal atrophy has a negative effect on interpersonal relationships, quality of life, daily activities, and sexual function. Topical hormone replacement therapy includes all preparations such as estradiol, estradiol valerate, or conjugated estrogen. considered in cases with vulvovaginal atrophy accompanied by atrophy of the urogenital system as well as the accompanying complaints because this therapy is intended to prevent systemic complications. The topical use of hyaluronic acid, lubricants, moisturizers, and herbs is a therapeutic choice in vulvovaginal atrophy patients contraindicated with estrogen therapy or in patients who do indeed choose nonhormonal therapy. Conclusion: Topical therapy of hormonal and non-hormonal rejuvenation in various studies has shown improvement in symptoms of vaginal dryness, vaginal itching, dyspareunia, cell maturity, and changes in vaginal pH toward acidity.

Authors: Sosiawan Agung , Azhar Imam Safari , Dhywinanda Devin Elysia , Jordana Jesslyn , Salim Jennifer Fiona , Nugraha Alexander Patera
Published: December 2022

Background: Peri-implantitis is one of many factors that can cause implant failure, with common cases ranging from 1%-47% and the highest incidence ranging from 10.7%- 47.2%. Mechanical debridement (MD) is currently the standard for peri-implantitis treatment. However, MD has limitations in the removal of infected tissue. Moreover, the rough texture of the implant’s surface and bacteria adhesion and colonization increases the difficulty in performing MD. To overcome these limitations, adjunct therapy is needed to increase peri-implantitis treatment effectiveness. One of those adjunct therapies, photodynamic therapy (PDT), is used to destroy bacterial cells and significantly reduce inflammatory cell infiltration around the implant. Purpose: To describe the effectiveness of PDT as an adjunct therapy to MD in periimplantitis treatment through narrative review. Review: PDT is effective in reducing the number of bacteria, plaque index (PI), bleeding on probing (BOP), probing depth (PD), crestal bone loss (CBL), and excessive proinflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α) in patients. However, the effectiveness of PDT can be influenced by several factors, including patients’ conditions, such as diabetes and smoking habits, types of photosensitizers used, and exposure time. Conclusion: PDT is an effective adjunctive therapy to MD in peri-implantitis treatment since it can improve clinical parameter values, significantly reduce P. gingivalis, and decrease proinflammatory cytokines.

Published: December 2022

O gondoleiro do amor, com versos de Castro Alves (1847-1851), é uma modinha clássica do repertório seresteiro registrada em disco inúmeras vezes ao longo do século XX. Tomando como objeto as gravações em 78 rpm da canção disponíveis na Discografia Brasileira (Instituto Moreira Salles), o artigo acompanha sua trajetória, em transcrições das performances gravadas, para investigar as adequações prosódicas feitas por intérpretes no estilo “seresteiro” e “sertanejo” entre 1909 e 1960. O estudo foi conduzido em etapas: inicialmente a investigação sobre a atribuição de autoria da música de O gondoleiro do amor; depois a definição de barcarola como gênero literário e gênero musical; a seguir um levantamento sobre a poesia de Castro Alves no cancioneiro popular; a revisão e discussão sobre o processo de transmissão e metodologia de transcrição musicais; a apresentação e análise das transcrições das gravações; a conclusão com as contribuições do estudo para a musicologia. No processo de contextualização histórica de O gondoleiro do amor, à luz de nova documentação a partir de garimpo na Hemeroteca Digital Brasileira (Biblioteca Nacional), foram encontradas evidências sobre a autoria de sua música que questionam a historiografia vigente. A discussão sobre transcrição mostra que, no caso dos estudos da música popular, são úteis para a análise musical tanto a notação tradicional quanto a imagem de espectrogramas; a primeira apontando aspectos gerais dos parâmetros altura e duração do som, a segunda mostrando detalhes da sua intensidade e timbre.

Penyebaran virus corona diseases (Covid-19) tahun 2019 sudah menyerang hampir seluruh dunia salah satunya Indonesia. Penyebab mudah tersebarnya virus ini salah satunya adalah sulitnya masyarakat menjaga jarak antara satu sama lain di keramaian. Pemerintah Republik Indonesia mengimbau masyarakat untuk menerapkan protokol kesehatan  salah satunya dengan menjaga jarak (physical distance), dan menjauhi keramaian khususnya diberbagai sektor publik. Hal tersebut merupakan cara yang digunakan untuk mengurangi penyebaran virus corona (Covid-19). Sehingga pada penelitian ini dilakukan perancangan Physical Distance DaayComTech Tool yang merupakan alat untuk menjaga jarak antar individu untuk mengurangi tingkat penularan virus Covid-19. Alat ini menggunakan konsep komunikasi antar wireless dengan metode pengukuran nilai Receiver Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI). Wireless dari salah satu alat / device ini akan mendeteksi keberadaan wireless dari alat physical distance lain dengan nama SSID “PDCovid19” yang digunakan oleh setiap individu pada area publik tersebut. Hasil dari 30 sampling percobaan Physical Distance DaayComTech Tool memberikan nilai rata-rata kekuatan sinyal sebesar -59 dBm pada jarak real 150 cm dan jarak device 177,8 cm di dalam ruangan tertutup (indoor)

In precision agriculture in fertigated crops it is necessary to optimize the use of water and chemicals, and enable efficient application of fertilizers in order to ensure the best yield and avoid risks of soil salinization and contamination. In this study, an intelligent system was developed with the objective of monitoring, in real-time, moisture and solute concentrations in soil cultivated with lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum, var. Casablanca) fertigated under a protected environment. During one crop cycle, moisture was monitored in soil solution using TDR100 reflectometer and solute concentrations were monitored with ceramic cup extractors. Plants were fertigated with a solution containing five potassium concentrations (50, 100, 150, 200, and 250 mg dm-3) applied when the soil reached moisture limits of 0.20, 0.15, 0.13, 0.11, and 0.09 cm3 cm-3. Experimental plots were arranged in a randomized block design in a 5 x 5 factorial scheme (moisture limits x potassium concentrations in soil solution), with four replicates. The proposed intelligent system enabled precise monitoring of moisture and electrical conductivity by TDR, and potassium, and other solute concentrations with extractors, being indicated for the management of lisianthus fertigation under greenhouse conditions with greater environmental safety and reduction of water consumption and risk of salinization.

Published: December 2022

Water contamination has intensified over the year as the world's population and industrial activities have grown. Heavy metals (HMs) are amongst the environmental contaminants commonly found in water and wastewater. These include Lead, Manganese, Chromium, Mercury, etc. Various techniques have been used to remediate this environmental challenge and adsorption has proven to be more effective because it is simple to use, excellent efficiency, low cost, possibility to operate in several experimental conditions. Regrettably, this method yields waste materials, which represents a scaling restriction. Furthermore, after the HM has been removed and loaded onto the adsorbent, there is still a question of the fate of the metal-loaded adsorbent. Most of the time these metal loaded adsorbents are discarded in the environment and constitute a secondary pollution. New applications for heavy metals laden have been investigated. This review article presents the various applications that had been investigated to reuse the loaded metal adsorbent. A case study on developing tools for combatting gender-based violence (GBV) has also been discussed.
La crisis del agua en la región centro sur del estado de Chihuahua y la Convención de la ONU de 1997
Authors: Salas Plata Mendoza Jorge A. , García Thelma J.
Published: December 2022

El presente escrito aborda la crisis del agua en la región centro sur del estado de Chihuahua en el año 2020. La literatura reciente señala la sequía, la sobredemanda del vital líquido y la sobrepoblación de esta región, entre otros temas, como las causas de la problemática. Este trabajo plantea que las causas anteriormente mencionadas no son tales, sino efectos de una política económica de valorización y acumulación del capital que desborda la capacidad de carga de los ecosistemas y de regulación de los procesos contaminantes. La obsolescencia de los tratados hídricos entre México y Estados Unidos hace necesario considerar otras alternativas como la Convención de la ONU de 1997 en materia de agua.

Mirror of Lear: A Comparative Study of The Fool in King Lear and The Gravedigger’s Boy in Lear
Authors: Honghui YANG
Published: December 2022

Adaptations of Shakespeare’s King Lear have always been extensively explored, especially Edward Bond’s Lear. Many researchers about Lear focus on its rewriting of the political and social themes, however, they seldom of them paid attention to the small roles in the two works. Although scholars such as Michael Patterson once mentioned Bond’s rewriting of Shakespeare’s original characters, they focused on the lack of perfect characters such as Cordelia and did not make a detailed comparative study of small roles such as the Fool in King Lear and gravedigger’s boy in Lear. This paper aims to analyze small roles in the two dramas, especially the fool in Shakespeare’s King Lear and the Gravedigger’s Boy in Bond’s Lear, and explore Bond’s rewriting of Shakespeare’s image of these two small roles.

Authors: Afifah Rana Catleya Ega , Iqbal Muhammad
Published: December 2022

The purpose of the research is to identify the problems that exist in the implementation of the Cash Waqf Linked Sukuk (CWLS) program as well as alternative solutions for sustainable development. This study uses a qualitative approach with the Analytic Network Process (ANP) method through literature studies, in-depth interviews, and giving questionnaires to regulators, practitioners, and academics related to the CWLS program. Based on the results from several sources, it was found that the problems arising from the CWLS program were grouped into three important aspects: collection, management, and reporting. The main problems that are of concern to the aspect of the gathering are institutional capacity, community knowledge, and community literacy and education. In the management aspect, the main problem lies in the knowledge of Nazhir and the capacity of professional Nazhir human resources. While the reporting aspect is the use of information technology which is the main problem. The research results obtained five solutions for developing CWLS to run sustainably. Of the five strategies offered between one another, none is more dominant. Therefore, the five strategies need to be implemented simultaneously to achieve a sustainable CWLS program.
