Stunting prevalence in District Kalipare on February 2019 was about 14%. Based on the results of the preliminary studies, one of the obstacles to achieving a free stunting rate is caused by anthropometric measurement errors by cadres. The objective of this study was to compare cadres of District Kalipare anthropometric measurement results with medical profession students' anthropometric results using the Tikar Pendeteksi Stunting (TIPS). This quasi-experimental study was conducted using a non-randomized control group pretest-posttest design. The sample of toddlers is 51 toddlers. The experiment was carried out by training 50 community-based health or posyandu cadres who were representatives from 8 villages in Kalipare District. Of the 50 cadres, 25 were selected by purposive sampling according to posttest scores per village. The selected cadres were asked to measure 1-3 infants or toddlers who had previously been measured before attending the training. The variables studied were nutritional status and height. The results showed that the Kappa test obtained a value of p = 0.838 or very good agreement. This study concludes that the results of height measurements by toddler posyandu cadres are the same as or close to the results of height measurements carried out by medical profession students. Therefore, after they have received training, we can include posyandu cadres in measuring anthropometrics.

Published: February 2023

The results of the Eden Strategy Institute 2021 study show that Bandung City is ranked 28th in the world's Top 50 Smart City Government Rankings. However, from the results of the Asian Development Outlook 2019 study, Bandung City is ranked as the most congested city in Indonesia and 14th in Asia. Solutions to problems are offered in the form of Mobility as a Service (MaaS), an integrated system of transportation services, digitization, and the use of big data. The realization of MaaS requires contributions from all parties. The synergy between the government, academia, stakeholders, the media, and the public is called Pentahelix. The research stage includes the collection of primary data and secondary data by conducting a literature review. Then conduct a graphical analysis of multivariate data on Pentahelix with three assessments, namely performance, competence, and involvement. Next, modeling and loading were carried out for a pilot simulation of The Bandung City area in the eastern region using macro or meso-level traffic simulation software, namely PTV Visum 2022 (Student). After comparing with real-time analysis from the Google Maps application, comprehensive results were obtained with real conditions. As a means of controlling public transportation services, an Electronic Device Capture (EDC) hardware digital system is needed that is integrated between modes through software and artificial intelligence. The final stage of this study was carried out a risk analysis matrix for the implementation of MaaS for the city of Bandung with moderate risk results. MaaS is not a new idea, but it is a good solution to overcome congestion and change Bandung’s transportation concept.

Authors: Lumondang Amanda , Pradana Erik Wahyu , Sangadji Senot
Published: February 2023

Currently, BIM has been widely applied in structural design and construction management work. However, there has not been much BIM implementation in evaluating existing structures. Thus, BIM was implemented in this study to evaluate the structural capacity and seismic responses of low-rise buildings due to earthquake loads. The case study was conducted on the Pakubuwono X Mosque building, designed in 2017 based on SNI 2847:2013, SNI 1726:2012, and SNI 1727:2013. This research was carried out numerically by involving the interconnection of Autodesk Revit and Autodesk Robot SAP software, which worked within the BIM framework. The structural model of the Pakubuwono X Mosque building was developed using Autodesk Revit, which was connected to Autodesk Robot SAP for analysis and structural design processes. Furthermore, the design products of Autodesk Robot SAP are reconnected with Autodesk Revit to be integrated with architectural and MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) design products. In this study, the structural capacity evaluation was carried out on the floor slabs, beams, and columns. Furthermore, the seismic response in the form of modal participation mass ratio, fundamental period, base shear, and story drift are also reviewed in this study. In conclusion, all structural elements (floor slabs, beams, and columns) are adequate to support the design load as indicated by the demand-capacity ratio (D/C Ratio), which is less than 1.0. Furthermore, all parameters of seismic response reviewed in this research comply with the requirements set out in SNI 1726:2012.

Published: February 2023

Concrete is the primary material in construction, so it needs further research to get good quality concrete. The quality and durability of concrete are influenced by the amount and shape of the air cavity inside the concrete. With vibrating, the air that is inside the concrete will be lost. The benefits of vibration will only be achieved if planned and implemented with a suitable method. With proper vibration, the air in the concrete will come out and make porous concrete. Reduction or removal of air cavities will make concrete mixes strong with low permeability, increasing the durability of concrete. This study aims to determine the optimum strong vibrating on the compressive strength of Fc’ 21,7 Mpa concrete. Vibrating will be performed on cylinder concrete samples with a duration time of 3 minutes and with different variations in acceleration 160 m/s2, 170 m/s2, 180 m/s2, 190 m/s2, 200 m/s2, variation velocity 140 mm/s, 150 mm/s, 160 mm/s, 170 mm/s, 180 mm/s, displacement variation 600 mm, 800 mm, 1000 mm, 1200 mm, 1500 mm. Each variation consists of 7 concrete samples. These tests were performed with methods of external vibrating by using MBT Vibrating table CO-410 in fresh concrete. Compressive strength testing is carried out at 28 days. This study shows that the optimum strong vibrating with acceleration 180 m/s2, velocity 160 mm/s, and displacement 1000 mm with the resulting compressive strength is Fc’ 23.06 MPa. So that knowing the optimum vibration strength can be the basis for the implementation of vibration to get the planned concrete quality.

Published: February 2023

Yogyakarta is listed among the cities with the worst congestion in Indonesia. Besides, the development of Yogyakarta has now expanded to the surrounding area and agglomerated into the Yogyakarta Urban Area (KPY). Private vehicle ownership is closely correlated to the characteristics of households. This study aims to analyze the correlation of the level of private vehicle ownership with the characteristics of households and the correlation of private vehicle ownership towards the responses of households with transportation policies that will be implemented in the future. This study fully used secondary data. The total respondents were 8,810 households, and the research location was the Yogyakarta Urban Area (KPY). The path analysis was employed to find out the causal relation between variables and the contribution between variables in the analysis. The variables used were gender, age, education level of the heads of households, total household income, the number of adult family members ( 17 years old), the number of children (17 years old), the number of working family members, total motorcycle licenses in a household, total driver's licenses in a household, total motorcycle ownership in a household, total car ownership in a household, and the responses of households to the transportation policies that will be applied. The results of the study show that motorcycle ownership in a household is influenced by gender, age, the level of education of the heads of households, total household income, the number of adult family members, the number of children, the number of working family members, and total motorcycle licenses in a household. Meanwhile, car ownership in a household is influenced by age, total household income, the number of working family members, and total driver's licenses in a household. There is also a correlation between motorcycle and car ownership. Increasing car ownership in a household has a positive correlation with motorcycle ownership. Furthermore, motorcycle ownership has a good significance value and a positive correlation with pedestrianization policies prioritizing public transportation in the Mangkubumi-Malioboro-Kraton area.

Faculty-Wide Peer-Support Program During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Design and Preliminary Results
Authors: Liu Jenny J W , Lum P Andrea , Foxcroft Laura , Lim Rod , Richardson J Don
Published: February 2023

Background

Physicians experience higher rates of burnout relative to the general population. Concerns of confidentiality, stigma, and professional identities as health care providers act as barriers to seeking and receiving appropriate support. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, factors that contribute to burnout and barriers to seeking support have been amplified, elevating the overall risks of mental distress and burnout for physicians.

Objective

This paper aimed to describe the rapid development and implementation of a peer support program within a health care organization located in London, Ontario, Canada.

Methods

A peer support program leveraging existing infrastructures within the health care organization was developed and launched in April 2020. The “Peers for Peers” program drew from the work of Shapiro and Galowitz in identifying key components within hospital settings that contributed to burnout. The program design was derived from a combination of the peer support frameworks from the Airline Pilot Assistance Program and the Canadian Patient Safety Institute.

Results

Data gathered over 2 waves of peer leadership training and program evaluations highlighted a diversity of topics covered through the peer support program. Further, enrollment continued to increase in size and scope over the 2 waves of program deployments into 2023.

Conclusions

Findings suggest that the peer support program is acceptable to physicians and can be easily and feasibly implemented within a health care organization. The structured program development and implementation can be adopted by other organizations in support of emerging needs and challenges.
Thought Leader Perspectives on the Benefits, Barriers, and Enablers for Routinely Collected Electronic Health Data to Support Professional Development: Qualitative Study
Authors: Bucalon Bernard , Whitelock-Wainwright Emma , Williams Chris , Conley Jeanette , Veysey Martin , Kay Judy , Shaw Tim
Published: February 2023

Background

Hospitals routinely collect large amounts of administrative data such as length of stay, 28-day readmissions, and hospital-acquired complications; yet, these data are underused for continuing professional development (CPD). First, these clinical indicators are rarely reviewed outside of existing quality and safety reporting. Second, many medical specialists view their CPD requirements as time-consuming, having minimal impact on practice change and improving patient outcomes. There is an opportunity to build new user interfaces based on these data, designed to support individual and group reflection. Data-informed reflective practice has the potential to generate new insights about performance, bridging the gap between CPD and clinical practice.

Objective

This study aims to understand why routinely collected administrative data have not yet become widely used to support reflective practice and lifelong learning.

Methods

We conducted semistructured interviews (N=19) with thought leaders from a range of backgrounds, including clinicians, surgeons, chief medical officers, information and communications technology professionals, informaticians, researchers, and leaders from related industries. Interviews were thematically analyzed by 2 independent coders.

Results

Respondents identified visibility of outcomes, peer comparison, group reflective discussions, and practice change as potential benefits. The key barriers included legacy technology, distrust with data quality, privacy, data misinterpretation, and team culture. Respondents suggested recruiting local champions for co-design, presenting data for understanding rather than information, coaching by specialty group leaders, and timely reflection linked to CPD as enablers to successful implementation.

Conclusions

Overall, there was consensus among thought leaders, bringing together insights from diverse backgrounds and medical jurisdictions. We found that clinicians are interested in repurposing administrative data for professional development despite concerns with underlying data quality, privacy, legacy technology, and visual presentation. They prefer group reflection led by supportive specialty group leaders, rather than individual reflection. Our findings provide novel insights into the specific benefits, barriers, and benefits of potential reflective practice interfaces based on these data sets. They can inform the design of new models of in-hospital reflection linked to the annual CPD planning-recording-reflection cycle.
Evolution of Public Attitudes and Opinions Regarding COVID-19 Vaccination During the Vaccine Campaign in China: Year-Long Infodemiology Study of Weibo Posts
Authors: Hong Yimin , Xie Fang , An Xinyu , Lan Xue , Liu Chunhe , Yan Lei , Zhang Han
Published: February 2023

Background

Monitoring people’s perspectives on the COVID-19 vaccine is crucial for understanding public vaccination hesitancy and developing effective, targeted vaccine promotion strategies. Although this is widely recognized, studies on the evolution of public opinion over the course of an actual vaccination campaign are rare.

Objective

We aimed to track the evolution of public opinion and sentiment toward COVID-19 vaccines in online discussions over an entire vaccination campaign. Moreover, we aimed to reveal the pattern of gender differences in attitudes and perceptions toward vaccination.

Methods

We collected COVID-19 vaccine–related posts by the general public that appeared on Sina Weibo from January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2021; this period covered the entire vaccination process in China. We identified popular discussion topics using latent Dirichlet allocation. We further examined changes in public sentiment and topics during the 3 stages of the vaccination timeline. Gender differences in perceptions toward vaccination were also investigated.

Results

Of 495,229 crawled posts, 96,145 original posts from individual accounts were included. Most posts presented positive sentiments (positive: 65,981/96,145, 68.63%; negative: 23,184/96,145, 24.11%; neutral: 6980/96,145, 7.26%). The average sentiment scores were 0.75 (SD 0.35) for men and 0.67 (SD 0.37) for women. The overall trends in sentiment scores showed a mixed response to the number of new cases and significant events related to vaccine development and important holidays. The sentiment scores showed a weak correlation with new case numbers (R=0.296; P=.03). Significant sentiment score differences were observed between men and women (P<.001). Common and distinguishing characteristics were found among frequently discussed topics during the different stages, with significant differences in topic distribution between men and women (January 1, 2021, to March 31, 2021: χ23=3030.9; April 1, 2021, to September 30, 2021: χ24=8893.8; October 1, 2021, to December 31, 2021: χ25=3019.5; P<.001). Women were more concerned with side effects and vaccine effectiveness. In contrast, men reported broader concerns around the global pandemic, the progress of vaccine development, and economics affected by the pandemic.

Conclusions

Understanding public concerns regarding vaccination is essential for reaching vaccine-induced herd immunity. This study tracked the year-long evolution of attitudes and opinions on COVID-19 vaccines according to the different stages of vaccination in China. These findings provide timely information that will enable the government to understand the reasons for low vaccine uptake and promote COVID-19 vaccination nationwide.
Utilization of Research in Clinical Nursing and Midwifery Practice in Ghana: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study
Authors: Owusu Lydia Boampong , Scheepers Nicholin , Tenza Immaculate Sabelile
Published: February 2023

Background

The International Council of Nurses’ 2021 code of ethics mandates nurses to provide evidence-informed care to patients. Globally, using research evidence has led to improvement in nursing and midwifery practice, according to the World Health Organization. A study in Ghana found that 25.3% (n=40) of nurses and midwives use research in clinical care. Research utilization (RU) increases therapeutic effectiveness, improves health outcomes, and enhances the personal and professional development of clinicians. However, it is uncertain the extent to which nurses and midwives are prepared, skilled, and supported to utilize research in clinical care in Ghana.

Objective

This study aims to develop a conceptual framework that can facilitate RU among clinical nurses and midwives in Ghanaian health facilities.

Methods

This will be a cross-sectional study with a concurrent mixed methods approach. It will be conducted in 6 hospitals and 4 nursing educational institutions in Kumasi, Ghana. The study has 4 objectives which will be executed in 3 phases. Phase 1 follows a quantitative approach to describe the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of clinical nurses and midwives on the use of research in their practice. Using a web-based survey, 400 nurses and midwives working in 6 health facilities will be recruited. Data analysis will be conducted using SPSS, with statistical significance set at .05. Qualitative methodology, using focus group discussions with clinical nurses and midwives, will be conducted to identify the factors influencing their RU. In phase 2, focus group discussions will be used to examine and describe how nurse educators in 4 nursing and midwifery educational institutions prepare nurses and midwives for RU during their education. Views of nurse managers on the RU in Ghanaian health care facilities will be explored in the second section of this phase through one-on-one interviews. Inductive thematic analysis will be used to analyze the qualitative data, and Lincoln and Guba’s principles of trustworthiness will be applied. In phase 3, the stages of model development proposed by Chinn and Kramer; and Walker and Avant will be used to triangulate findings from all objectives and formulate a conceptual framework.

Results

Data collection started in December 2022. Publication of the results will begin in April 2023.

Conclusions

RU in clinical practice has become an acceptable practice in nursing and midwifery. It is critical that nursing and midwifery professionals in sub-Saharan Africa shift their practice to embrace the global movement. This proposed conceptual framework will empower nurses and midwives to improve their practice of RU.

Generating normative data from web-based administration of the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) using a Bayesian framework (Preprint)
Authors: Wragg Elizabeth , Skirrow Caroline , Dente Pasquale , Cotter Jack , Annas Peter , Lowther Milly , Backx Rosa , Barnett Jenny , Cree Fiona , Kroll Jasmin , Cormack Francesca
Published: February 2023

BACKGROUND

Normative cognitive data can distinguish impairment from healthy cognitive function and pathological decline from normal ageing. Traditional methods for deriving normative data typically require extremely large samples of healthy participants, stratifying test variation by pre-specified age groups and key demographic features (age, sex, education). Linear regression approaches can provide normative data from more sparsely sampled datasets, but non-normal distributions of many cognitive test results may lead to violation of model assumptions, limiting generalisability

OBJECTIVE

The aims of the study are to describe a novel methodological approach for generating normative cognitive data and examine the sensitivity of this novel approach in comparison to other methods for deriving normative data.

METHODS

The current study proposes a novel Bayesian framework for normative data generation. Participants (n=728; 368 male and 360 female, age 18-75 years), completed the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery via the research crowdsourcing website Prolific.ac. Participants completed tests of visuospatial recognition memory (Spatial Working Memory test), visual episodic memory (Paired Associate Learning test) and sustained attention (Rapid Visual Information Processing test). Test outcomes were modelled as a function of age using Bayesian Generalised Linear Models, which were able to derive posterior distributions of the authentic data, drawing from a wide family of distributions.

RESULTS

Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithms generated a large synthetic dataset from posterior distributions for each outcome measure, capturing normative distributions of cognition as a function of age, sex and education. Comparison with stratified and linear regression methods showed converging results, with the Bayesian approach producing similar age, sex and education trends in the data, and similar categorisation of individual performance levels.

CONCLUSIONS

This study documents a novel, reproducible and robust method for describing normative cognitive performance with ageing using a large dataset.
O textiel / “infotexto” e a enunciação editorial
Authors: Giering Maria Eduarda , De Souza Juliana Alles de Camargo
Published: February 2023

No âmbito dos estudos da Análise do Discurso Digital proposto pela linguista Marie-Anne Paveau (2021), a noção de texto é problematizada, tendo em vista o texto digital nativo, endêmico do ecossistema digital, exigir um olhar diferenciado, já que é fruto de um compósito de linguagem e tecnologia. A autora afirma que a linguística tradicional, ao estudar o digital, ainda se vale de conhecimentos e métodos ligados aos textos impressos, enquanto o texto digital nativo exige um enfoque diferenciado pela dimensão técnica envolvida. Mayeur & Paveau (2020) propõem que se utilize a noção de textiel, que contemplaria o contínuo entre técnica e linguagem, inserindo fatores de natureza informática. O objetivo deste artigo é expor essa proposta e, a partir dela, pensar sobre a complexidade que envolve o texto em rede. Trazemos as noções de enunciação editorial e de arquitexto (JEANNERET; SOUCHIER, 1998) e as implicações dessas instâncias, que envolvem enunciadores humanos e não humanos, para o estudo dos textos conectados em rede.

Published: February 2023

Esta pesquisa, apoiada em Bakhtin (2006), Paveau (2021), Swales (1990) e Marcuschi (2010), tenta reconhecer nos Green Texts – doravante GT – a ocorrência, respectivamente, do tripé bakhtiniano, dos traços do tecnogênero, de um propósito comunicativo comum, nessas práticas discursivas que acontecem em mídias digitais, como Facebook. Principalmente nesse ecossistema, o GT tornou-se uma prática muito recorrente, o que culminou numa grande comunidade discursiva, por isso nos limitamos a analisar apenas os textos dessa mídia. Para as análises, como forma de consolidação do nosso objetivo, coletamos e analisamos os textos retirados diretamente dos seus meios de realização, com o intuito de evidenciar, por traços genéricos da sua estrutura esquemática própria, que envolve aspectos multimodais – imagem e texto verbal –, a alta interatividade dos atores sociais envolvidos, e as técnicas de armazenamento, busca e gerenciamento que lhe são particulares. Constatamos, mediante as discussões e análises feitas sobre os GT, a presença de certas peculiaridades próprias desse tecnogênero.
Argumentação emocionada em uma carta e em uma postagem do Instagram
Authors: Cortez Suzana Leite , Catelão Evandro De Melo
Published: February 2023

Problematizamos, neste estudo, o fazer argumentativo de textos pré-digitais e digitais nativos, marcadamente passionais, que visam a agir sobre o interlocutor através da mobilização de emoções. Teoricamente, este estudo articula conceitos provenientes das teorias de texto, do discurso e da enunciação. Sustentamos a hipótese de que, no campo da argumentação, a busca pelo acordo (ou desacordo) pode ser um ponto de geração de emoção, principalmente ancorada no preferível, ou seja, no campo dos valores e das crenças, que são empaticamente mobilizados. Objetivamos, assim, discutir, pela comparação entre carta de suicídio e postagem no Instagram, que tipo de orientação argumentativa é explorada pelos enunciadores. Os resultados da análise indicam que os textos são construídos de forma muito similar, no sentido de articulação dos pontos de vista e escolha dos tipos de argumentos (real/preferível) com a ação de linguagem visada pelos sujeitos. Nos gêneros discursivos que apelam para o sensível, parece haver uma problemática muito maior quanto ao uso de valores, dos fatos e das provas no interior das orientações argumentativas. Trazer ou questionar valores e interesses seria também uma forma de trazer emoção ao discurso e de defender pontos de vista empaticamente.
O gênero morfológico do substantivo cal
Authors: Trindade Milena Guirelli
Published: February 2023

O objetivo do presente artigo consiste em investigar o fenômeno do gênero morfológico do substantivo cal, que frequentemente é tomado como pertencente ao feminino pelas gramáticas, ao passo que costuma ser empregado tanto no feminino quanto no masculino pelos falantes de português. Desse modo, uma vez que cal consiste em uma das poucas exceções de palavras terminadas em -l que não são masculinas (SAID ALI, 1923, p. 63), realizamos uma análise diacrônica para verificar as motivações para a oscilação de gênero desse vocábulo. Para isso, consideramos as definições de hesitação e mudança de gênero formuladas por Gouveia (2005) e investigamos a palavra desde a sua correspondente no grego antigo e no latim, nos baseando em autores como Bailly (1950) e Gaffiot (1934), além de verificar como se deu a fixação de gênero desse item lexical em outras línguas românicas, como o espanhol e o galego.
Sobrevoando a Amazônia: a construção verbo-imagética do Brasil em três jogos shmup
Authors: Matumoto André De Oliveira
Published: February 2023

Neste artigo, pretende-se analisar a construção verbo-imagética do Brasil nos jogos Sonic Wings 2, Sonic Wings Special e Strikers 1945 II, todos do subgênero shmup, primariamente pelo quadro teórico da semiótica social (HODGE; KRESS, 1988; VAN LEEUWEN, 2005), notadamente as proposições presentes na Gramática do Design Visual (KRESS; VAN LEEUWEN, 2021), acrescidas das contribuições da Análise Crítica do Discurso (VAN LEEUWEN, 2008; MACHIN; MAYR, 2012) e da teoria das cores (RHYNE, 2017). O estudo das escolhas semióticas – em especial as cores, na análise imagética, e os recursos lexicais, na análise verbal – presentes nos estágios brasileiros, visa investigar como os recursos multimodais são mobilizados para construir textos ideologicamente ancorados em uma tradição representacional do Brasil, ou o que se pode intitular brasilidade: imagens e discursos estereotipicamente associados ao Brasil, cuja presença ainda se detecta em jogos produzidos atualmente.
CGU e o efeito de realidade: uma economia memética
Authors: Reitano Leonardo
Published: February 2023

A partir de propostas iniciais realizadas em trabalhos anteriores (REITANO, 2021) – de que a disputa de versões narrativas em fóruns digitais de jogos, via produção e propagação de peças multimídia, é uma das estratégias utilizadas por correntes ideológicas conspiracionistas dentro de tais fóruns – o presente artigo busca atualizar tais conclusões, a partir de uma proposta de comparações entre CGUs – Conteúdos Gerados por Usuários (SHIFMAN, 2020) – e diversas peças produzidas nos fóruns do jogo de videogame Overwatch. Este trabalho mobiliza, para tal análise, o continuum memético (MARINO, 2018), a semiótica visual (FRAENZA, 2017) e a percepção de realismo (McCLOUD, 1995). A partir da adesão desses novos resultados às conclusões prévias, este artigo postula que o efeito de realidade pode exercer um papel de “economia” dentro do fórum digital, no qual a popularidade memética é usada para cooptar CGUs com maior efeito de realidade, servindo às disputas narrativas características do espaço de fandom.

Published: February 2023

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar a construção de significados composicionais em anúncios publicitários digitais a partir da Gramática do Design Visual e suas contribuições para a formação do leitor e escritor crítico e reflexivo na escola. Nesse contexto, buscamos verificar o valor informacional e as escolhas de integração intermodal na composição do espaço visual dos textos selecionados. Para isso, este trabalho apresenta-se em caráter qualitativo e exploratório e com natureza básica, sendo o corpus formado por cinco anúncios publicitários de marcas famosas em contexto de circulação nacional, destacando imagens multimodais digitais que veiculam na web. Como arcabouço teórico, consideramos, principalmente, as postulações de Kress e van Leeuwen (2021) e Painter, Martin e Unsworth (2013). Os resultados apontam claramente que as várias semioses dos textos não se excluem nem se isolam, ao contrário, articulam-se constantemente em uma rede encadeada de sentidos para a construção de significados que promovem a potencialização da experiência visual por meio da linguagem.

Smoking habit have many negative effect, including increased lipids profile. Researching on the effects of tea on lipids profile on smokers has been carried out using green tea. Research using white tea has been limited, therefore, this study aimed to analyze the effect of white tea than green tea on lipids profile in smokers, using paired sample of clinical trials design. The subjects were medium smokers (11-21 cigarettes/day) aged 30-45 years and have milddyslipidemia. Each subject was asked to drink tea in two times. Firstly, all subjects were asked to drink 3 x 200 ml white tea/day for 28 days. Secondly, treatment will be start after two weeks washout period, and they were asked to drink 3 x 200 ml of green tea/day for 28 days. Lipids profile (trigliserida (TG); cholesterol total (TC); low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C)) of blood serum has been measured four times, at pre-post intervention of white tea and at pre-post intervention of green tea. The lipids profile were significantly decreased after white tea intervention (paired sample t-test, p<0,05). After green tea intervention,the lipids profile were decreased but significant (paired sample t-test, p<0,05) only for LDL-C. The independent sample t-test analysis showed that white tea has higher effect in decreasing the lipids profile greater than green tea, however not significantly different (p>0,05). This study was proved that white tea is more potential than green tea to decreasing lipids profile of smokers.

White tea is a new product in Indonesiaâ€™s tea industry. It is a product developed by Research Institute for Tea and Cinchona in order to revive Indonesiaâ€™s tea industry. White tea has uniqueness in its relatively high price and high market demand that not affected by its high price. The increasing number from Indonesiaâ€™s middle class income could also become white teaâ€™s new potential consumer because they put quality and health first than the price. White teaâ€™s high price and demand attract new players in this industry. The appearence of new competitors make this in-dustry more competitive. Thatâ€™s why itâ€™s necce-sary to find a way to win the compettion and to keep the domination in the white tea industry through strategic formulation. There were two steps in strategic formulation used to produce the strategies. The first is analyzing the com-pany environment using internal factor evalua-tion (IFE) and external factor evaluation (EFE). The second is using internal and exter-nal (IE) matrix and strength weakness oppor-tunity and threat (SWOT) analysis. IE matrix showed the position of company using infor-mation from IFE and EFE. SWOT analysis resulted strategies using information from the companyâ€™s strength, weakness, opportunity, and threat. IFE and EFE showed that the company has strong internal power and good respond to external factors. IE matrix showed that com-pany is in grow and build stage. IE matrix and SWOT analysis showed that the alternative strategies for the company are market pene-tration, market development, product develop-ment, forward integration, backward integ-ration, and side integration.

The aim of this research was to obtain the effect of insecticide combination with nitrogen and zinc foliar fertilizers to Empoasca flave-scens. An experiment was conducted at Gam-bung Experimental Garden, Bandung, West Java. The trial was arranged in a randomized complete block design with nine treatments (A)methomyl; (B) methomyl + ZnSO4 1%; (C) me-thomyl + ZnSO4 2%; (D) methomyl + N 1%; (E) methomyl + N 1% + ZnSO4 1%; (F) metho-myl + N 1% + ZnSO4 2%; (G) methomyl + N 2%; (H) methomyl + N 2% + ZnSO4 1%; and (I) methomyl + N 2% + ZnSO4 2%, replicated three times. Each unit consisted of experiments is 40 plants. The treatments comprised: concen-tration of methomyl 0,5 gram/l with sprayed volume 200 l/ha. The level concentrations of nitrogen and zinc were 1% and 2%. The appli-cation of treatments was sprayed six times after plucking with 12 days interval, respectively. The population and intensity of E. flavescens attack were measured at the time of plucking. The effectiveness of treatment on the population as well as attack intensity of Empoasca con-ducted by measuring the rate of decline through a linear regression approach. The results showed that all of the treatments could reduce the population as well as the attack intensity of E. flavescens but there were no significantly different among others and were comparable to the chemical insecticide treatment. The fastest rate of decline were indicated by the treatment methomyl + N 2% + ZnSO4 1% and methomyl + N 2% + ZnSO4 2%.

Solar evaporation has attracted great attention regarding renewable
energy capture and freshwater production. However, the clean water
production is still limited by the heat loss and low evaporation rate of
water. Herein, a 2D meshy MoS2/Ti membrane-based evaporator (MTiE) is
designed to optimize the vapor diffusion process and realizes almost
zero heat loss from evaporator to environment. The 2D meshy-metal
structure dramatically reduces vapor-diffusion resistance and improves
the effective evaporation area, resulting in lager vapor-concentration
gradients and faster water collection rates. MTiE exhibits a high
evaporation rate of 6.4 kg m-2 h-1 and a high-yield water rate up to 2.7
kg m-2 h-1 under one sun (1 kW m-2) coupled with ultra-low convection
flow rate of 0.2 m s-1. Additionally, the flexible MTiE shows excellent
long-term salt-resistant stability for continuous evaporative wastewater
disposal. The 2D meshy structure provides a new pathway for the faster
vapor diffusion and water collection in solar evaporators.

SnTe has received considerable attention as an environmentally friendly
alternative to the representative thermoelectric material of PbTe.
However, excessive hole carrier concentration in SnTe results in an
extremely low Seebeck coefficient and high thermal conductivity, which
makes it exhibit relatively inferior thermoelectric properties. In this
work, the thermoelectric performance of p-type SnTe is enhanced through
regulating its energy band structures and reducing its electronic
thermal conductivity by combining Bi doping with CdSe alloying. First,
the carrier concentration of SnTe is successfully suppressed via Bi
doping, which significantly decreases the electronic thermal
conductivity. Then, the convergence and flattening of the valence band
by alloying CdSe effectively improves the effective mass of SnTe while
restraining its carrier mobility. Consequently, the electronic thermal
conductivity is markedly reduced. Finally, a maximum ZT of
~ 0.87 at 823 K and an average ZT of ~
0.51 at 300-823 K have been achieved in Sn0.96Bi0.04Te-5%CdSe. Our
results indicate that decreasing the electronic thermal conductivity is
an effective means of improving the performance of thermoelectric
materials with a high carrier concentration.

Authors: Ofodire Emeka
Published: February 2023

BACKGROUND: Radiation pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of radium
point to bone as its site of primary uptake and action. Bone endosteum
and red blood marrow with absorbed alpha doses of 16Gy and 1.5Gy
respectively, showed the highest dose co-efficient in the body. METHODS:
Five Patients with post-chemotherapy castrate resistant prostate cancer
with bone metastases received 50kBq/kg body weight of Radium-223
Dichloride injection every 4 weeks for 5 cycles. The research aim was to
assess the treatment – related toxicity and was divided into: 1.
Screening 2. Treatment (including an End of Treatment Visit) 3.
Follow-up RESULTS: The ranges of measured parameters for 4 patients at
20th week were within normal limits: Hb : Wk 20 = 110 -126g/l,
pre-treatment = 110-136g/l (Range 120-170) Wbc: Wk 20 = 3.3-6.2x109/l,
Pre-treatment=3.5-8.9x109/l (Range 4.5-10) Platelets: Wk 20 =
156-241x109/l, pre-treatment = 206-302x109/l (Range 150-400). Alkaline
Phosphatase: Wk 20 = 43-128IU/l, Pre-treatment = 57-253IU/l (Range
40-120). The 5th Patient developed bone marrow failure in the 12th week
with sudden reduction of Hb from 8th week value 116g/l to 9.2g/l in 12th
wk. His alkaline phosphatase flare from 8th wk value of 143IU/l to 12th
week value of 290IU/l and wbc count flared from its 4th week value 3.4 x
109/l to 6.0 x 109/l in the 8th week. CONCLUSION: Radium-223 chloride at
dose of 50kbq/kg is a safe drug for 6 cycle palliative treatment of bone
pains in metastatic bone diseases. The 5th patient’s bone marrow failure
cause is consistent with reactionary features rule out drug induced
marrow suppression worsened by Radiotherapy.

Anthropogenic global changes are impacting biodiversity, however, many
previous meta-analyses investigating the impact of different global
changes on biodiversity have omitted soil fauna, or are limited in the
scope of the global changes studied. Threats to soil biodiversity by
global changes need to be understood to mitigate effects on ecosystem
services provided by soils. We conducted a meta-analysis using 3,173
effect sizes from 627 publications focused on six global changes
(climate change, land-use intensification, pollution, nutrient
enrichment, invasive species, and habitat fragmentation) and their
associated environmental stressors on soil fauna. We classified
stressors as either pulse (short-term, acute) or press (long-term,
chronic) stressors, and expected pulse stressors to have less impact on
soil biodiversity due to buffering effects of the soil. Unexpectedly,
pollution caused the largest loss in soil fauna communities, which is
worrying due to continually increasing levels of pollution, as well as
the poor mechanistic understanding of pollution impacts. There was no
clear pattern of pulse stressors having a smaller impact on soil
biodiversity than press stressors. Overall, this work shows the
importance of including soil biodiversity in large-scale global change
analyses, as soil organisms often do not show the same responses as
organisms above-ground.
