Published: July 2021

In this study, antioxidant activities of H. fursei were investigated. Different model were used for assay. IC50 for DPPH radical-scavenging activity was 7.5±1.2 μg ml-1. The IC50 value for BHA was 92.9±4.5 µg ml-1. The extract showed very good reducing power that was comparable with vitamin C (p> 0.05) but showed weak nitric oxide scavenging activity and Fe2+ chelating ability. Extract showed good activity in scavenging of H2O2. Inhibition was 99.1% at 800 μg ml-1. The IC50 values for extract and BHA were 333.1±14.7 and 52.0±4.5 μg ml-1, respectively. Total phenol compounds, by the Folin Ciocalteu method, was 274±9.6 mg gallic acid equivalent/g of extract and the total flavonoid content, by AlCl3 method was 23.9 ± 1.4 mg quercetin equivalent/g of extract. Antioxidant activity may be attributed to the presence of phenols and flavonoids in the extract.

Published: July 2021

The recovery of Zn and Mn from spent alkaline and Zn-C batteries with a biohydrometallurgycal process was studied in a pilot plant that consists of an air-lift bioreactor with a sulphur packed bed where Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans produces an acid-reducing medium; a leaching reactor where the acid-reducing medium is mixed with the battery powder, and a recovery reactor where metals are recovered from the leaching liquor by electrolysis. Results show that with acid medium (350 mM[H+]) produced in 12 days by Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans in the bioreactor, an extraction of 100% of Zn and 67% of the Mn present in the battery powder was reached. The presence of polythionates in the medium produced in the bioreactor allows the dissolution of the manganese. The solid remaining after bioleaching is a manganese oxide. The electrolysis of the leaching liquor produced a cathodic deposit of metallic Zn and an anodic deposit of a manganese oxide in one step at room temperature.
IMPROVING TIME SERIES CLASSIFICATION ACCURACY: COMBINING GLOBAL AND LOCAL INFORMATION IN THE SIMILARITY CRITERION
Authors: HE X. , SHAO C. , XIONG Y.
Published: July 2021

Given the widespread use of time series classification in many domains, how to improve the accuracy of classification has attracted considerable focus. In this paper, a new similarity measure (SIMscl) based on the global and local information has been proposed for improving the precision rate of one nearest neighbor (1NN) classifier. Specifically, the global information records the intrinsic properties of time series, and is reflected by two indicators: the shape information and the complexity; the local information pays attention to the exact match of value, and is realized by LB_keogh. Simultaneously, a method based on multi-scale discrete haar wavelet transform, key point extraction, and symbolization has been put forward to extract the shape information. To test the efficacy of the proposed shape similarity SIMshape and hybrid similarity SIMscl, the experiments are conducted on two data sets: star light curve and beef. Experimental evaluations show that SIMshape can deal with some time series misclassified by Euclidean Distance (ED), LB_keogh, and Complexity Invariant Distance (CID), and SIMscl has higher precision than ED, LB_keogh, and CID in time series 1NN classification.

Enhancing evidence-based treatment of child sexual abuse material offenders: The development of the CEM-COPE Program
Authors: Henshaw Marie , Arnold Chelsea
Published: July 2021

Recent research suggests that child sexual abuse material (CSAM) offenders have distinct characteristics and intervention needs when compared to contact sexual offenders. As such, many sexual offender treatment programs may not be suitable for CSAM offenders without a history of contact offences. This paper describes the development of the CEM-COPE (Coping with Child Exploitation Material Use) Program. We discuss CSAM offender characteristics, recidivism rates and treatment considerations, before outlining the rationale, specifications and underpinnings of the CEM-COPE Program. Challenges in this research area and considerations for future research are also addressed.

Published: July 2021

Se estudió el comportamiento fluidodinámico de cuatro granos (sorgo, frijol, arroz y maíz) en dos secadores de escala de laboratorio: uno de lecho fluidizado y otro de lecho de chorro. Los secadores consistían en una columna de plástico transparente a la cual se adaptaron dos bases diferentes, una para cada secador, conectado a un ventilador. Adicionalmente, se determinaron experimentalmente las propiedades físicas (diámetro, esfericidad y densidad aparente) relacionadas con la fluidización como función de la humedad del grano. Además, se calculó la porosidad del lecho para cada uno de los granos a su máxima humedad. Solo fue posible fluidizar los cuatro granos en el lecho de chorro. Este estudio fluidodinámico es el primer avance en cuanto a la determinación de las propiedades físicas y de fluidización de los granos más consumidos en Nicaragua.

Tijd voor een Wet maatregelen virusuitbraak? Over grondslagen voor afdwingbare gedragsvoorschriften

Bestrijding van een virusuitbraak die noodzaakt tot het opleggen van gedragsvoorschriften aan vrijwel de gehele bevolking moet wettelijk worden geregeld. De kans op een dergelijke uitbraak in de toekomst is reëel en de impact op het maatschappelijke leven is enorm. Dit gegeven én de taak die op de wetgever rust om de beperking van grondwettelijk beschermde grondrechten door middel van een wet in formele zin te regelen, vereisen dat er een opvolger komt voor de Tijdelijke wet maatregelen covid-19. Aan regionale regulering met noodverordeningen kleven meerdere grote nadelen, onder meer betreffende grondrechtenbescherming en democratische legitimatie.

Van noodsprong naar tijdelijke noodwet, het failliet van het staatsnoodrecht?

De Nederlandse wetgeving was net als elders niet toereikend om de coronapandemie te kunnen bestrijden. Toch heeft de regering op grond daarvan de voorzitters van de veiligheidsregio’s opgedragen om ingrijpende maatregelen in noodverordeningen op te nemen. Die aanpak kent ernstige juridische tekortkomingen, niet alleen vanwege de beperkingen die aan het gebruik van noodverordeningen kleven, maar ook omdat de grondslag voor dergelijke opdrachten dubieus is en deze voorzitters in een bestuurlijke leegte functioneren. Het parlement zat op de tweede rang. Rechtsstatelijke beginselen die juist in een noodsituatie waarin grondrechten in het geding komen, hooggehouden moeten worden, kwamen daardoor in het gedrang. Daaraan kwam pas na tien maanden met de coronawet een einde. De regering had daarom een beroep moeten doen op het staatsnoodrecht. Ook dat kent tekortkomingen en ook dan was extra wetgeving nodig geweest, maar de democratische legitimatie en de democratische controle waren niet in het gedrang gekomen. Het parlement was vanaf het begin in de juiste positie gebracht.

Een (toe)slag in de lucht

De Afdeling bestuursrechtspraak heeft naar aanleiding van de kritiek van de commissie-Van Dam op de toeslagenjurisprudentie het boetekleed aangetrokken. Door onze hoogste bestuursrechter wordt echter ook op de verantwoordelijkheid van de wetgever gewezen, die dwingende regels zou hebben opgesteld over de terugvordering van toeslagen die weinig speelruimte zouden hebben gelaten aan de rechter. Alom wordt gepleit voor herstel van de rol van het parlement als kritische medewetgever, maar de vraag is of dat soortgelijke problemen in de toekomst voorkomt. Een andere kijk op de trias en op het primaat van de wetgever lijkt op dit punt meer aangewezen.

Arrest Varkens in Nood: twee richtinggevende uitspraken van de Afdeling bestuursrechtspraak

Inmiddels heeft de Afdeling bestuursrechtspraak van de Raad van State twee richtinggevende uitspraken gedaan over de antwoorden van het Europese Hof van Justitie. Op 14 april 2021 deed zij uitspraak over de vraag bij welke besluiten de voorwaarde van art. 6:13 Awb belanghebbenden niet mocht en zou worden tegengeworpen. Op 4 mei 2021 ging de Afdeling in op de vraag of en in welke gevallen een niet-belanghebbende toegang tot de bestuursrechter zou moeten hebben. In beide uitspraken maakte de Afdeling haar werkwijze bekend.

Kroniek Waterwet 2020

In TO 2015, afl. 2 verscheen voor het laatst een rechtspraakoverzicht over de Waterwet (Wtw). Met deze kroniek Waterwet wordt het jaarlijkse overzicht nieuw leven ingeblazen. Deze bijdrage geeft een overzicht van de belangrijkste rechtspraak op het gebied van het waterrecht. Achtereenvolgens wordt stilgestaan bij de belangrijkste ontwikkelingen rondom de watervergunning, het projectplan, lozingen, gedoogplichten, nadeelcompensatie, relativiteit en belanghebbendheid in relatie tot de Wtw. De Wtw is een van de wetten die (naar verwachting) in 2022 grotendeels op zal gaan in de Omgevingswet. Per onderwerp gaan wij daarom in deze kroniek eveneens in op de wijze waarop het betreffende onderwerp in de Omgevingswet zal worden geïncorporeerd.
Een queeste naar een balans tussen flexibiliteit en bundeling bij het aanvraagproces van de omgevingsvergunning: raakt de positie van de aanvrager verdwaald?

Een queeste naar een balans tussen flexibiliteit en bundeling bij het aanvraagproces van de omgevingsvergunning: raakt de positie van de aanvrager verdwaald?

Sinds jaar en dag tracht de omgevingswetgever een balans te vinden tussen flexibiliteit en bundeling bij de aanvraag van de omgevingsvergunning. Met de komst van de Omgevingswet komt de nadruk meer te liggen op flexibiliteit bij het aanvraagproces van de omgevingsvergunning. De aanvrager krijgt – mede door het loslaten van het concept van onlosmakelijke samenhang – meer vrijheid om het aanvraagproces van de vergunningen zelf vorm te geven. Er dient kritisch naar deze ontwikkeling te worden gekeken. Wordt de positie van de aanvrager van de omgevingsvergunning beter door het bieden van meer vrijheid bij de aanvraag van de vereiste omgevingsvergunning(en)? Deze vraag staat centraal in deze bijdrage.

After «sublay» intervention, excellent results were observed in 40.0% of patients, long-term results of the operation were observed in 81.9%, complications occurred in 12%, and relapse in 1.4%
Efficient Breast Cancer Classification Using Histopathological Images and a Simpler VGG
Authors: Rodrigues Filho Marcelo Luis , Cortes Omar Andres Carmona
Published: July 2021

Breast cancer is the second most deadly disease worldwide. This severe condition led 627,000 people to die in 2018. Thus, early detection is critical for improving the patients' lifetime or even cure them. In this context, we can appeal to Medicine 4.0 that exploits the machine learning capabilities to obtain a faster and more efficient diagnosis. Therefore, this work aims to apply a simpler convolutional neural network, called VGG-7, for classifying breast cancer in histopathological images. Results have shown that VGG-7 overcomes the performance of VGG-16 and VGG-19, showing an accuracy of 98%, a precision of 99%, a recall of 98%, and an F1 score of 98%.

: The potential for misuse, overdose, and chronic use has led researchers to look for other methods to decrease opioid consumption in patients with acute and chronic pain states. The use of peripheral nerve blocks for surgery has gained increasing popularity as it minimizes peripheral pain signals from the nociceptors of local tissue sustaining trauma and inflammation from surgery. The individualization of peripheral nerve blocks using adjuvant drugs has the potential to improve patient outcomes and reduce chronic pain. The major limitations of peripheral nerve blocks are their limited duration of action and dose-dependent adverse effects. Adjuvant drugs for peripheral nerve blocks show increasing potential as a solution for postoperative and chronic pain with their synergistic effects to increase the duration of action and decrease the required dosage of local anesthetic. N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists are a viable option for patients with opioid resistance and neuropathic pain due to their affinity to the neurotransmitter glutamate, which is released when patients experience a noxious stimulus. Neostigmine is a cholinesterase inhibitor that exerts its effect by competitively binding at the active site of acetylcholinesterase, which prevents the hydrolysis of acetylcholine and subsequently retaining acetylcholine at the nerve terminal. Epinephrine, also known as adrenaline, can potentially be used as an adjuvant to accelerate and prolong analgesic effects in digital nerve blocks. The theorized role of sodium bicarbonate in local anesthetic preparations is to increase the pH of the anesthetic. The resulting alkaline solution enables the anesthetic to more readily exist in its un-ionized form, which more efficiently crosses lipid membranes of peripheral nerves. However, more research is needed to show the efficacy of these adjuvants for nerve block prolongation as studies have been either mixed or have small sample sizes.

Background: The recognition of the influential factors in the reduction of quality of life and health status in women is essential to their empowerment. Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the correlations between body mass index (BMI), quality of life, the severity of menopausal symptoms in women during menopause. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 136 women transiting to menopause, who referred to the main health centers in Javanrood city, Iran. The subjects were selected via random sampling. MEN-QOL was used to measure the specific quality of life of the women, and the severity of menopausal symptoms was determined using the MRS questionnaire. Results: BMI could significantly predict the severity of menopausal symptoms, dimensions of quality of life (vasomotor, psychosocial, physical, and sexual symptoms), and total score of quality of life during the transition to menopause (P < 0.05). In addition, a significant correlation was observed between the severity of menopausal symptoms and BMI during menopause (P = 0.002). Conclusions: According to the results, BMI could predict the quality of life and severity of menopausal symptoms in women during menopause.
