Published: January 2024

A low-cost bio-material was derived from biomass agricultural by-product (coconut husk) and applying it in water treatment, makes both economic and environmental sense. Hexavalent chromium has been confirmed to be the most hazardous oxidation state of chromium and is potentially carcinogenic;
therefore, it must be removed from the industrial effluent pipe before being discharged. The presents work focus on the fabrication of biochar from coconut husk and using for removing of chromium hexanvalent from aquatic environment. The Batchwise study and a chromatographic operation were
used to exame the chromium(VI) reduction/adsorption performance. The typical results indicated that the removal of chromium(VI) was achieved in acidic region via adsorption and reduction processes. The kinetic study followed pseudo-second-order model (R2 ≈ 1.0), the results revealed
that biochar at 800oC (BCH-8) system was occurred 6.2 times faster than that of raw coconut husk (BCH-raw). The diffusion-chemisorption kinetic model indicated that the BCH-raw system was only adsorption, but BCH-8 was both adsorption and reduction processes at pH 3.0. The removal of chromium(VI)
by biochar based coconut husk was also achieved by chromatographic operation.
Biomass Utilization for Cement Manufacturing
Authors: Baidya Rahul , Ghosh Sadhan Kumar
Published: January 2024

India generates around 750 million tonnes of agro waste with surplus availability of 230 million tonnes, this huge quantity of biomass can act as a potential resource for energy recovery to the tune of 28 GW of power. The biomass as a raw material for energy generation is encouraged
by different government policies. The biomass has to be utilized in a sustainable way for maximum resource re-circulation enhancing circular economy. Although the utilization of biomass for direct energy recovery is encouraged, it has an inherent problem of ash generation. But co-processing
of this biomass in cement plant leads to an effective solution as it helps in complete thermal and material recovery without any formation of ash. Pre-processing is not needed for single type of biomass, while for mixed and heterogeneous biomass, preprocessing may be needed similar to the
case of industrial wastes in coprocessing. Thus co-processing of biomass in cement plant as an alternative way of addressing the surplus agro waste was studied. A one-year study was carried out at one of the cement plants to analyse the potential of co-processing of agro waste such as rice
husk, soya bean agro waste and gram husk in cement kiln. The study based on statistical data revealed operational & environmental sustainability. The economic potential was analysed based on the substitution benefit. The analysis further revealed insignificant impact on parameter like
stack emission, clinker quality, leach property and cement property. The findings of study thus revealed the sustainability of co-processing agro waste in cement kilns.

Published: January 2024

Introduction: The relation between the cancer and the heart is diverse. It can be affected all parts of the heart directly or indirectly caused by the systemic manifestation of the cancer or by cancer therapy. Paraneoplastic dermatomyositis and tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) are two examples of systemic manifestations of cancer. Being systemic, the cardiovascular system can be affected. Heart failure and arrhythmias are the main cardiac manifestations.

Case Report: A 68-year-old man with a recent diagnosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma waiting to begin chemotherapy, and paraneoplastic dermatomyositis, presented at the emergency department (ED) with palpitations and dyspnea with a week of evolution. At the physical examination, he presented with pulmonary edema and the novo rapid atrial fibrillation. Also, an Nt-pro BNP of 8957 pg/mL, and echocardiography with severe dilated left ventricle, with a severe reduced ejection fraction. Already in the ward, the patient developed a spontaneous TLS. The etiological interpretation was that paraneoplastic dermatomyositis and TLS were the triggers of atrial fibrillation (AF). Then, the combination of them was responsible for development of the dilated cardiomyopathy (tachymyocardiopathy). The chemotherapy regimen was changed to R-CEOP (Rituximab, cyclophosphamide, etoposide, vincristine sulfate, and prednisone).

Conclusion: This clinical case perfectly shows how the world of cardiomyopathies can be challenging and hard to understand all the complexity of the patients.

Authors: Cortés Guzmán Lucas Josué , Cortés Guzmán José Santiago , Pinzón Tovar Alejandro
Published: January 2024

Introducción: el síndrome de cerebro perdedor de sal se caracteriza por una pérdida de sodio a nivel renal, lo que ocasiona hipovolemia e hiponatremia y su manejo se basa en la reposición hídrica y de sodio.
Objetivo: presentar un caso de un paciente con síndrome de cerebro perdedor de sal posterior a un trauma craneoencefálico.
Presentación del caso: hombre de 45 años que sufrió un mes antes un trauma craneoencefálico y trauma abdominal con lesión de la vía urinaria, portador de sonda de cistostomía, quien consultó por presencia de signos inflamatorios en sitio de inserción de la sonda y fiebre. Durante su hospitalización se notó déficit neurológico e hiponatremia y tras los estudios realizados se consideró que cursaba con un síndrome de cerebro perdedor de sal. El tratamiento se hizo con reposición hídrica y suplementación de cloruro de sodio en la dieta. El paciente egresó con mejoría clínica y cuatro semanas después ya tenía resolución de los síntomas neurológicos y alcanzó niveles normales de sodio sérico.
Discusión y conclusión:  se ha documentado un caso de cerebro perdedor de sal posterior a traumatismo craneoencefálico que a diferencia del síndrome de secreción inadecuada de ADH, este último generalmente es transitorio. Para el diagnóstico, la presencia de mucosas levemente secas, la sed, la densidad urinaria aumentada, el alto sodio en orina y la fracción excretada de ácido úrico alta fueron de utilidad para la diferenciación. La persistencia de una fracción excretada de ácido úrico después de la corrección de hiponatremia puede orientar hacia el síndrome de cerebro perdedor de sal.

This study aimed to explore the relationship between internet addiction and psychosocial consequences in primary school students in Pristina. Internet addiction is characterized by compulsive behavior that leads to adverse outcomes, often interfering with crucial aspects of life like work and school. As information technology becomes increasingly integral to society, concerns arise over its overuse, particularly among students, where it can pose a significant risk. The primary objective of this research was to analyze the link between internet addiction and psychosocial consequences for Pristina's primary school students. A correlational research design was employed to examine whether there is a significant connection between the extent of internet addiction and the resulting psychosocial consequences. Quantitative research methods were integrated into the study's methodology. Two instruments were used for data collection: the first to measure internet addiction, focusing on students' internet usage habits, devices employed, and time spent online, and the second to assess psychosocial consequences, encompassing changes in behavior, emotional well-being, and self-esteem attributed to internet usage. The study encompassed 200 primary school students drawn from "Elena Gjika" and "7 Marsi" primary schools in Pristina, aged between 10 and 15, with an average age of 13.18 years. The results showed a positive correlation between internet dependence and psychosocial consequences in students; however, this correlation did not prove to be statistically significant. Moreover, the analysis indicated that there are no differences in the context of internet dependence and psychosocial consequences concerning the gender and age of students in primary schools in Pristina. Similarly, the study among Pristina students in primary school revealed no statistically significant variations depending on age or gender about internet addiction and its psychosocial effects.

Inacabamento e educação no pensamento freiriano
Authors: Santos Ednan Galvão , Galvão Karine Chaves Pereira
Published: January 2024

Este artigo examina a relação entre inacabamento do ser humano e a educação no pensamento de Paulo Freire. Também reflete sobre a interface entre esses conceitos e o pressuposto filosófico-antropológico existencialista explorado pelo autor. O marco teórico principal deste artigo é a obra freiriana intitulada Educação e Mudança. No entanto, outros filósofos são igualmente referidos, por terem desenvolvido conceitos e categorias que se aproximam da perspectiva aqui desenvolvida, tais como Sartre, Jaspers, Arendt e Horkheimer. Destarte, o objetivo consistiu em analisar o entrelaçamento de conceitos desenvolvidos com centralidade na doutrina freiriana, quais sejam: inacabamento da pessoa humana e educação; inacabamento, criação e educação; consciência do ser inacabado e educação. Antes, porém, procedeu-se ao enquadramento do existencialismo enquanto pressuposto filosófico de compreensão.
The discursivity of the covers of The country of women, by writer Gioconda Belli on utopia and dystopia
Authors: Leite Giovanna de Araújo
Published: January 2024

Nicaraguan author Gioconda Belli, born in the city of Managua on December 9, 1948, wrote the novel The Country of Women. In addition to being an activist and militant, she is a writer who brings to her literary productions love for her country and the search for gender equity in public and private spaces. This article provides a brief discursive analysis of the covers of this novel, from the perspective of utopia and dystopia. The problem presented is: what is the discursive nature of the covers of O País das Mulheres about utopia and dystopia in the context of contemporary feminist critical theory in Latin America? The general objective is to reflect on the aspects of utopia and dystopia on the covers of the aforementioned book, observing whether they corroborate feminist critical theory and cultural studies in Latin America, reflecting on the discourses of utopia and dystopia. The methodology used for theoretical and analytical production is of a bibliographic nature, as authors of feminist literary criticism and utopia and/or dystopia were used. For the analysis, covers of the book O País das Mulheres were collected on the public domain website – Google Images – for analysis and discussion purposes on how the structure of patriarchy is deconstructed on these covers. From this approach, it was understood that the social roles of men and women are redefined in a utopian characteristic of equity and in a plan of hope and transformation, widely discussed and claimed by feminist literary criticism, in addition to also bringing dystopian moments necessary for the deconstruction of patriarchy. It is believed that this work is fundamental for thinking about Latin American feminist demands, as it brings up struggles that sister countries also experience in contemporary times, involving gender politics between men and women.

Pada permasalahn ini dirincikan ke dalam 2 aspek yakni; a) Aspek produksi dimana kurangnya pengetahuan mitra dalam hal cara meningkatkan produksi rumput laut akibat suhu air tambak yang tidak stabil. Penyebabnya yakni tingginya intensitas hujan belakangan ini membuat suhu air berubah-ubah mengakibatkan turunnya produksi rumput laut. b) Aspek manajerial yakni kurangnya pemahaman mitra dalam menjalin kerja sama dan mempromosikan nama kelompok taninya dengan pihak pemerintah daerah ataupun Stakeholder sehingga kerap kali kelompok Tanete Tani tidak mendapatkan program bantuan. Adapun solusi yang diberikan pada permasalahan ini yakni melakukan seminar penyuluhan manajerial dan peningkatan produksi rumput laut pada kelompok usaha budidaya rumput laut. Hasil yang diperoleh mitra yakni berupa modul pengelolaan rumput untuk masing-masing peserta. Adapun manfaat yang diperoleh mitra yakni adanya peningkatan pengetahuan peserta terkait dengan manajemen dan upaya peningkatan produksi rumput laut. Seluruh peserta sangat setuju dengan adanya kegiatan ini karena betul-betul memberikan pengetahuan, dan modul kepada semua peserta

3-Dimensional printing is a manufacturing technique used to create 3-dimensional products. The tool used is a 3D printer with constituent materials such as plastic, metal and powder. This community service activity uses a 3D printer made from plastic because it is considered more practical and effective for laboratory scale. The training participants were teachers at SMAN 2 Palopo, with the presenters being lecturers at Cokroaminoto University, Palopo. The aim of this community service activity is to introduce and provide training to SMAN 2 Palopo teachers in using 3D printer machines. The training participants provided basic material: using a 3D printer machine, how to install the tool, create a design, transfer the design file to the printer, and so on printing the 3D design. The evaluation process is grouped into four categories, namely understanding the concept, installation and use, machine maintenance and desire for further study. Participants' understanding increased by 1.7 points after attending the training. In the skills of installing and using and maintaining machines, the participants' pretest scores were quite low (1.8 and 2.1 points respectively) and increased quite sharply by 2.5 and 2.1 points after training. Meanwhile, the pretest score for wanting to know 3D printing technology reached 3.4 points and increased after participating in the training to 4.5 points. The evaluation results show that 3D printing technology is not yet well known by the public, especially educational institutions. With this existing training, it is hoped that teachers at SMAN 2 Palopo will be able to know and master 3D printing technology which was developed according to their respective knowledge. Furthermore, these skills can be taught to students through seminars, extracurricular activities or can be included in curricular learning materials.

Sejak meluasnya penggunaan Internet, pemasaran digital telah berkembang dengan kecepatan eksponensial. Tingkat penggunaan ini didorong oleh ketersediaan ponsel dengan biaya rendah. Namun penggunaan digital marketing oleh pelaku usaha seperti Badan Usaha Milik Desa (BUMDes) belum diakui secara umum (BUMDes). Sebagian besar BUMDes di Kabupaten Soppeng percaya bahwa pemasaran digital adalah tempat terjadinya transaksi, jauh dari kebenaran karena pemasaran digital adalah penggunaan semua sumber daya di Internet untuk menyampaikan informasi tentang barang BUMDes. Sumber daya BUMDes tidak hanya mencakup situs web pemasaran tetapi juga platform media sosial yang dikendalikan oleh BUMDes. Media sosial yang dimanfaatkan untuk pemasaran digital tidak hanya mengandalkan media sosial yang dibuat khusus untuk BUMDes tetapi juga media sosial yang dimiliki oleh para pekerja BUMDes. Akibat peningkatan jangkauan promosi produk, penjualan produk dari BUMDes di Kabupaten Soppeng meningkat.
