A Rapidly Enlarging Solitary Infantile Myofibroma
Authors: Vittitow Stephany , Kozak Merrick , Daughtery Reza , Zlotoff Barrett
Published: November 2020

Infantile myofibromatosis is a rare disorder of mesenchymal cell proliferation that can affect the skin, bone, muscle, and viscera. We present a case of a 6-week-old male with a rapidly enlarging congenital solitary infantile myofibroma. The differential for congenital tumors of the head and neck is broad, and thorough evaluation is required to rule out life-threatening malignancy. Currently, there is no first-line imaging modality of choice to assess for skeletal and/or visceral involvement in patients with infantile myofibromatosis. We recommend the use of whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), as it quickly provides detailed information regarding extent of disease and does not expose the patient to the harmful effects of radiation.

Outpatient treatment of cerebral aneurysms: A case series
Authors: Goland Javier , Doroszuk Gustavo , Ypa Paula , Leyes Paula , Garbugino Silvia
Published: November 2020

Background:

Major advances in the endovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysms have reduced the incidence of intra- and postprocedural complications. The length of stay after treatment for incidental aneurysms remains between early next-day discharge and 2 days. We hypothesized that discharging patients the same day would not be associated with any increase in the rate of postdischarge adverse events.

Methods:

We retrospectively reviewed the charts of patients who underwent an elective coiling procedure between 2015 and 2020 at three centers and were discharged from hospital on the same day as the procedure. Patients were clinically evaluated 6 h, 1 week, and 6 months after the procedure, with repeat cerebral angiography performed 1 year after the procedure.

Results:

Eleven eligible patients underwent outpatient treatment of 12 aneurysms treated through the wrist. No complications were identified within 1 week of the procedure. Clinical evaluation 6 months after treatment also failed to reveal any complication associated with the procedure. Only one of the seven patients who underwent 1 year angiography required retreatment.

Conclusion:

It is possible to safely perform coiled embolization of cerebral aneurysms in select outpatients with unruptured cerebral aneurysms.
Endoscopic interlaminar lumbar discectomy: How to decrease the learning curve
Authors: Elkheshin Sherif Elsayed , Soliman Ahmed Y.
Published: November 2020

Background:

Herniated lumbar disc is a common cause of lumbosacral pain. Endoscopic interlaminar lumbar discectomy (ILD) is a well-established technique that provided comparable results to micro-discectomy. The aim of the study is to describe the learning curve of endoscopic ILD and explore measures that could improve effectiveness and decrease blood loss and operative time with accumulation of reasonable experience.

Methods:

This retrospective cohort study included 65 patients presenting with symptomatic herniated lumbar disc who underwent endoscopic ILD. Patients were divided into two groups: Group I (standard technique) and Group II (modified technique). Collected data included patients’ age, gender, preoperative manifestations, visual analog score (VAS) for pain, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), disc level, operative time, intraoperative blood loss, complications, and follow-up data at 1, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. Primary outcomes included total operative time, amount of intraoperative blood loss, and post-operative improvement in pain. Secondary outcomes included intraoperative complications, rate of conversion to open surgery, and recurrence.

Results:

Post-operative VAS and ODI improved significantly in both groups. Mean total surgical time and intraoperative blood loss were significantly lower in Group II compared to Group I (P < 0.001). The learning curves for operative time and intraoperative blood loss were shallow in Group I, and almost flattened in Group II. Complications were recorded in only three cases, and no symptomatic recurrences were reported.

Conclusion:

The learning curve of endoscopic ILD was shallow with standard technique, indicating difficulties in mastering the procedure. The proposed modified technique helped reaching the required level of proficiency in the early phase of the curve, providing a significant reduction in operative time and blood loss, with comparable effectiveness and safety as the standard technique.
Efficacy of Wound Cleansers on Wound-Specific Organisms Using In Vitro and Ex Vivo Biofilm Models
Authors: McMahon Rebecca , Salamone Ann Beal , Poleon Suprena , Bionda Nina , Salamone Joseph
Published: November 2020

Biofilms are believed to be a source of chronic inflammation in non-healing wounds. PURPOSE: In this study, the pre-clinical anti-biofilm efficacy of several wound cleansers was examined using the Calgary minimum biofilm eradication concentration (MBEC) and ex vivo porcine dermal explant (PDE) models on Pseudomonas aeruginosa, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and Candida albicans biofilms. METHODS: A surfactant-based cleanser and antimicrobial-based cleansers containing ionic silver, hypochlorous acid (HOCl), sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), and polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) were tested on the MBEC model biofilms with a 10-minute application time. Select cleansers were then tested on the mature PDE biofilms with 10-minute applications followed by the application of cleanser-soaked gauze. The PDE model was further expanded to include single and daily applications of the cleansers to mimic daily and 72-hour dressing changes. RESULTS: In the MBEC model, PHMB- and HOCl-based cleansers reduced immature MRSA, C albicans, and P aeruginosa biofilm regrowth by > 3× when compared with silver, surfactant, and saline cleansers. The major differences could be elucidated in the PDE model in which, after daily application, 1 PHMB-based cleanser showed a statistically significant reduction (3–8 CFU/mL log reduction) in all mature biofilms tested, while a NaOCl-based cleanser showed significant reduction in 2 microorganisms (3–5 CFU/mL log reduction, P aeruginosa and MRSA).The other PHMB-based cleanser showed a statistically significant 3 log CFU/mL reduction in P aeruginosa. The remaining cleansers showed no statistically significant difference from the saline control. CONCLUSION: Results confirm that there are model-dependent differences in the outcomes of these studies, suggesting the importance of model selection for product screening. The results indicate that 1 PHMB-based cleanser was effective in reducing mature P aeruginosa, MRSA, and C albicans biofilms and that sustained antimicrobial presence was necessary to reduce or eliminate these mature biofilms.
Protic Ionic Liquids Can Be Both Free Proton Conductors and Benign Superacids .
Authors: ansari younes , ueno kazuhide , Angell Austen
Published: November 2020

Superacids have been the source of much spectacular chemistry, but very little interesting physics despite the fact that the states of cations formed by transfer of the superacid proton to molecular bases, can approach that of the cations in free space. Indeed some of the very strongest acids, such as HPF6 and HAlCl4, have no independent existence due to lack of screening of the bare proton self-energy: their acidities can only be assessed by study of the conjugate bases. Here we show that, by allowing the protons of transient HAlCl4 and HAlBr4 to relocate on pentafluoropyridine, PFP - a very weak base that is stable to superacids - we can create glassforming protic ionic liquids (PILs) which are themselves superacids but, being free of superacid vapors, are of benign character. At Tg, conductivities exceed “good” ionic liquid values by 9 decades, so must be superprotonic. Anomalous Walden plots confirm superprotonicity.

Published: November 2020

Novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 or Covid-19 Pandemic has become a globally recognized public-health phenomenon. As of September 2020, over 30 million people have been affected worldwide, and more than 1 million deaths have been registered. Healthcare professionals & researchers around the world are working hand in hand to find a vaccine or an efficient cure for this disease. Till then, a large part of the globe remains under lock down, and people are advised to follow certain guidelines like social distancing, practicing hand hygiene, etc. Pharmacists are one of the key healthcare workers who are working to fight this Pandemic. This commentary is an effort to describe their role in combating this Pandemic in a developing nation India. They are responsible for manufacturing/ supplying/dispensing of drugs to the ailing patients in the hospitals and community. In rural areas, pharmacists are expected to provide medical guidance. They play a vital role in medical information services within the hospital, along with providing Pharmacovigilance activities related to Covid-19 drugs. The essentiality of the presence of clinical pharmacists is being felt increasingly in India, where the healthcare workforce is limited. The safety of these caregivers during this Pandemic should be a priority so that this healthcare force can be efficiently utilized in managing the Pandemic in the country in the coming days.

Objective ‒ to determine the dependence of unfavourable treatment outcomes of spontaneous intracerebral hematomas (ICH) on the peculiarities of microstructural changes in the perihematomal area.Materials and methods. A prospective study was conducted that included 68 patients with haemorrhagic stroke and chronic arterial hypertension, as well as signs of ICH. Patients’ clinical condition and treatment outcomes were assessed. The brain data of five patients who died at different stages after the haemorrhagic stroke were analysed using the method of optical microscopy of autopsy material. Results. Patients’ age ranged from 38 to 59. At the time of hospitalization, the Glasgow Coma Scale score was 8 to 15. The inpatient period was less than 1 day for three patients with stem and medial ICH, and 10 and 34 days in case of subarachnoid haemorrhage (in the latter cater, there was an aneurism re-rapture 3 days before death). Blood in the ventricular system was observed in all patients. Gross examination data during the autopsy showed that the cortical layer above the affected area is thin; after 12‒24 hours, the perihematomal area is swollen, with small dotted, and sometimes coalesced haemorrhaging; after 3 and more days, it increased to 4–5 mm and turned reddish-brown. During histologic examination: brain tissue with signs of the swelling, perihematomal area is cell-like with nerve cells – ranging from minor changes to extreme dystrophia and coagulative necrosis (nuclei with signs of pyknosis, rhexis, lysis), homogenous eosinophilic cytoplasm, apparent pericellular swelling, cell shaft formed by lymphocytes, leukocytes, macrophages, hemosiderophages, and reactive increase in oligodendrocytes and astrocytes.Conclusions. Perihematomal area has been found to be not just a «perihematomal swelling» as described in the literature. The unfavourable course of the ICH of different localization (basal, stem) can be explained by a complex of pathomorphological changes in this area: reactive inflammatory activation of glia, dystrophic nerve cell changes, pericellular swelling. As seen from our observations, early development of these processes – as early as on the 1st day – and their progressing indicate the presence of common mechanisms of unfavourable outcome regardless of haemorrhagic stroke localisation.

Ethnomentales Weltbild der Kasachen und seine Widerspiegelung in der Sprache
Authors: ZHUMANBEKOVA Nurkesh , ALIJEVА аishan
Published: November 2020

Das Konzept des sprachlichen Weltbildes geht auf den Humboldtschen Begriff der sprachlichen Weltansicht zurück (Dobrovol’skij D.: 172, 1996). Die moderne Linguistik hat eingesehen, dass real funktionierende Modelle der menschlichen Sprache nur unter Berücksichtigung bestimmter Wissenstypen entwickelt werden können. Das sind die wichtigsten Erkenntnisse der modernen kognitiv orientierten Linguistik, die die Renaissance des Weltbild-Konzeptes vorbereitet haben: (1) die sprachliche Strukturen sind Reflexe bestimmter kognitiv-konzeptueller Entitäten, (2) die Grundlage der Beschreibung und Explikation sprachlicher Phänomene ist das Wissen, (3) die „sprachliche Bedeutung“ ist ein linguistisches Konstrukt, das keine psychologische Realität beanspruchen kann, (4) Sprachwissen und Weltwissen sind eng miteinander verbunden: Die Rezeption sprachlicher Äußerungen wird erst durch die Appellierung an das Weltwissen und die Ontologisierung der Welt erst mittels des Mediums Sprache möglich. Die Sprache ist das Instrument der Wissensontologisierung und nicht nur ein Kommunikationsmittel. Das Weltbild stellt ein Bild, das in einer bestimmten Weise organisierte Summe der Kenntnisse, die für das sinnvolle Funktionieren der jeweiligen Sprache notwendig sind bzw. die Gesamtheit aller in der jeweiligen Sprache fixierten Vorstellungen der Träger dieser Sprache über die Welt stellt das Weltbild dieser Sprache dar. Der Sprachträger ist der Träger eines bestimmten konzeptuellen Systems. In diesem Beitrag wird das Konzept „Pferd“ im allgemeinen und das Konzept „Verwandschaft“ ausführlich aus der Sicht der Theorie des Weltbildes analysiert. Wir bestätigen damit die Auffassung, daß der Unterschied der Weltvorstellungen von sozialen, kulturellen, ethnopsychologischen Faktoren abhängig ist.
Friedrich Dürrenmatt – Das Versprechen - Auflösung des Falls durch Zufall
Authors: UYSAL Hikmet
Published: November 2020

Im Frühjahr 1957 bestellte der Filmproduzent Lazar Wechsler an Friedrich Dürrenmatt eine Filmerzählung. Dürrenmatt fertigte eine Vorfassung des Romans, die er später mit dem Regisseur des Filmes, Ladislao Vajda, zu einem Drehbuch verarbeitete. Sie wurde unter dem Titel “Es geschah am helllichten Tag” mit Heinz Rühmann und Gert Fröbe in den Hauptrollen verfilmt. Nach Fertigstellung des Drehbuches machte sich Dürrenmatt noch einmal an die Arbeit. Er griff das Thema noch einmal auf und verarbeitete es. Daraus entstand das Buch Das Versprechen mit dem Untertitel “Requiem auf den Kriminalroman”, da in und mit ihm die gängigen Regeln eines Krimis zur Diskussion gestellt werden. Das Buch erschien im Jahr 1958. Die Filmhandlung weicht allerdings stark von der Handlung des Buches ab. Dürrenmatt will damit darstellen, dass die heutige Form des Kriminalromans nicht mehr identisch mit der Realität ist. Die Enthüllung der Fälle ist immer systematisch und ohne große Fehlleitungen dargestellt. Manches ereignet sich viel mehr durch Zufälle und spontane Einfälle.
Success Story of Single-Job Multiple Zones Chemical Sand Consolidation in Mahakam Delta
Authors: Warsito S.
Published: November 2020

Multiple zones chemical sand consolidation jobs are often avoided because of low success ratio. Strict operational and technical limitations must be respected to ensure the quality of the treatment. Conventional chemical sand consolidation operations performed in Delta Mahakam were done by using coiled tubing and packer to inject the resin into single reservoir. Multi-zone chemical sand consolidation poses additional risk of interfering with newly treated formation. Therefore, a temporary plug was installed in between the reservoirs which serve as temporary isolation to prevent the newly treated formation. The plug needs to withstand maximum differential pressure which would be exerted during the treatment. Other important factors include to test the limitations of resin curing time prior to proceed with the next treatment.
5 Years Application of Acoustic Sand Detection Tool in Sandy Wells Environment
Authors: Widarena T.
Published: November 2020

Significant production of Mahakam Block comes from sand prone reservoirs. Uncontrolled sand production can lead to catastrophic consequences. A robust sand detection and monitoring system is crucial for optimizing production without jeopardizing safety. A non-intrusive Acoustic Sand Detection (ASD) tool has been widely implemented in Mahakam swamp and offshore fields. The tool can be portable or permanently installed, depending on the availability of power and telemetry. Sand rate is derived from the signal received by sensor after listening to the sound of sand particle collision with the pipe wall. If the sand rate exceeds the defined Maximum Allowable Sand Rate (MASR) of 0.02 g/s, the well will be declared as sandy. As the consequence, the well could be ramped down or shut-in for choke verification. Of all the sandy cases detected by ASD, more than twenty cases turned out to be incident preventive. The wellhead choke had been eroded such that it could have been catastrophic. The erosion occurred on wells producing from shallow/upper layer reservoirs with high delta pressure between upstream and downstream choke. The application of acoustic sand detection tool as the primary sand monitoring system (78%) in Mahakam has proven to be rewarding. Around 149 BCF of additional production volume during 2014-2019 was the result of implementation of sand detection and monitoring using ASD tool, as means of optimizing the life of production wells. This paper demonstrates Mahakam invaluable experience with ASD tool to optimize sandy wells production safely.
Success Story from Drilling Program Evaluation of Development Wells in 2018 & 2019, and How to Promote An Effective Drilling Program for 2020 and Beyond for Indonesia
Authors: Faisal S.
Published: November 2020

There are 32 oil companies in Indonesia that will perform development drilling in 2020 with total number of development drilling plans are 395 comparison, there were 289 development wells in 2018 and 322 development wells in 2019 respectively were drilled and contributed to national oil and gas production. All development drilling activities are reported to Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi (SKK Migas) by the Production Sharing Contract (PSC) contractors in the form of spreadsheets. SKK Migas will then evaluate the development drilling performance to be used as references and for consideration in the drilling program approvals for the following year in the Work Program & Budget event. The evaluation includes important drilling parameters. During the last 3 years, SKK Migas has managed to collect data and actual report programs from all PSC’s. Based on that data, an evaluate was exercised and will be used as reference for the next development drilling program for the same PSC or other PSCs which has the similar subsurface challenges or operates in the same areas. This will therefore make a good engineering future plan and will achieve the efficiency of the drilling cost, and can be challenged to be more efficient and effective. For the future, these drilling parameter data will become as benchmark such as a cost/ft or cost/day per PSC per well which is already drilled in Indonesia. There will be more data for PSC’s when making a Plan of Development (POD) proposal from some areas which will be developed into a prospective targets for producing oil and gas, and will also enable SKK Migas to get effective calculations for the related economic issues. This paper will illustrate how SKK Migas manages development drilling program activities in Indonesia using spreadsheets. This paper also illustrates how historical data of actual performance is compared, evaluated and analyzed for future reference.
Quadrant Mapping Artificial Lift Concept
Authors: Rohman A. F.
Published: November 2020

This paper outlines a concept for monitoring performance of artificial lift performance such as electrical submersible pump (ESP), hydraulic pumping unit (HPU), sucker rod pump (SRP) and progressive cavity pump (PCP), for a large number of wells. The objective is to generate simplified monitoring performance of artificial lift with a huge number of wells on one page by creating quadrant mapping consisting of two coordinates with x axis representing pump efficiency and y axis showing pump submergence. We made a four-quadrant limit by pump efficiency (50%) and submergence (200 m). Optimum wells will show on range pump efficiency above 50% and submergence below 200 m, and 3 other quadrants are classified as artificial lift problems, well potential and sizing/design problems. By using the quadrant mapping concept, we can generate performance of artificial lift for 1500++ wells in one page, and this mapping consists of four quadrants (quadrant 1, quadrant 2, quadrant 3 and quadrant 4), quadrant 1 showing wells which have artificial lift problem, quadrant 2 showing well which have potential to increased production , quadrant 3 showing the optimum wells operation and quadrant 4 showing the wells which required to re-sizing/re-design artificial lift, this mapping can be shown to Engineers, manager’s and shareholder to show overall performance and classification detailed problems to create a troubleshooting, optimization program to increased oil production, run life artificial and result in better production performance. This mapping also helps petroleum engineers to get a better field view and create priorities and program optimization based on the quadrant mapping result and classification.
Multi-Cycle Shear Fracturing Technique as a Production Enhanchment Approach for a Thin, Shallow and Unconsolidated Formation
Authors: Palupi A.
Published: November 2020

Fracturing in Talisa formation (thin layer, shallow, and less shaliness contrast) has met several challenges. Using conventional fracturing technique (to achieve a large conductivity, placing a large volume of proppant, high rate and high pressure), it has a risk of unexpected growing in height, breaking the upper and lower barriers, early screen out, sand flowback and end up with ineffective treatment. The more gentle fracturing treatment is introduced to this formation by using lower rate of injection, lower pressure, less aggressive proppant concentration, less damaging fluid and multiple cycle of injection stage. On conventional fracturing treatment , a large fracture geometry is usually expected at the end of treatment. Instead of creating a large fracture half length, this fracturing approach will create multiple fracture with different orientation which connect each other and lead an effective stimulation. The low injection rate during the treatment will also lead a shear dilatation mechanism on reservoir which will enhance the permeability. On this fracturing treatment, observation of the formation response is conducted at the beginning of the stage, during treatment, during decline in every stage and at the end of the stage to see how the injection in every stage can improve the formation. The objectives of this paper is to share the case study of technique implementation on Langgak Field, Rokkan Hulu Riau. This Field is operated by SPR Langgak and the fracturing treatment is provided by NESR. 3 wells are treated and showing good indication of fracturing result. This paper will give different perspective to the audience for a non-conventional fracturing practice, especially for Talisa formation, which could be also applied in other field which has similar characteristics.

Shallow Zone reservoir of Tunu Field (TSZ) which was initially identified as drilling hazards, has now been extensively developed since 2009 with more than 600 Bscf of cumulative gas. The zone consists of widespread and scattered gas-bearing sand reservoirs, with strong aquifer drive mechanism. Today, more than 280 development wells have been drilled, and as the field is aging up, there are more than 62% wells have been died or idle. As an impact from driving mechanism, most of idle wells are related to water influx from reservoir to wellbore. These wells have been studied and revival program is performed by considering the strong aquifer support and reservoir re-equilibrium process in the reservoir. Based on trial phase that have been conducted, global strategy to revive the dead well have been developed, in order to optimize remaining reserves and also to support field production target. To implement this initiative, several supporting items were prepared: well candidate selection workflow, static condition requirement by dynamic well simulation, automatic monitoring tool for well candidate selection based on static condition requirement, campaign categories, job preparation (i.e. dedicated deltaic swamp testing barge), and regular monitoring & evaluation. Continuous implementation from this initiative has given additional production gain and recovered volume significantly to support field production target. Guidance from this best practice could give an initiative idea for other gas field with typical characteristics for optimizing each standard cubic feet of gas volume from existing idle wells.
Digitalization in Offloading for Mature Well Revival Optimization: Case Study of Peciko Gas Field
Authors: Hidayat D.
Published: November 2020

Liquid loading is a common issue in the production of mature gas wells in lower pressure reservoirs that have gone below dew point pressure or have active water from an aquifer. With additional hydrostatic head inside the tubing column, the well’s energy will eventually become insufficient to lift all fluid to surface. A common solution to this issue is production of the well in an intermittent fashion with cyclic shut-in/build-up and placed-on-production (SIBU-POP). This method is oppressing liquid to depleted reservoirs and accumulating gas at the tubing’s upper section by gravity. Since this method only lifts a small volume of liquid and is more efficient in wells with multiple formations that produce commingled, offloading is a potential alternative to displace more liquid. Switching the well to atmospheric pressure will allow maximum drawdown to lift more liquid and enable stable flow for a certain period. By reaching stable flow, offloading will prolong the well’s producible lifetime and give greater incremental production than SIBU-POP activities. The Peciko gas field has been on production for approximately 25 years, offloading activities have become more frequent with time as the number of weak liquid-loaded wells increase. To obtain selective offload in mature gas field with long historical offload activities, a proper offloading database equipped with strong statistical and analytical tools is needed. An offloading database will utilize programming language to automatically store all the parameters prior, during, and post offloading activities to calculate instantaneous gain and recovered gas volume. Historical instantaneous gain and well parameters were then used for further statistical and engineering review to identify key wells and define offloading strategy. This digitization approach enables selective offload candidates in Peciko field and has increased instantaneous production of 4.5 MMscfd with 1.7 BSCF cumulative incremental in 2019. However, offloading does in some respect require greater coordination and integration than SIBU-POP programs, offloading activities require additional resources such as manpower, utility boat, etc. need to be planned and executed properly to maximize gain.

Listeria monocytogenes, a foodborne pathogen, is considered as one of the major problems in food safety. With strong safety regulations, a monitoring measure is essential for protecting the health and safety of consumers. Thus, a reliable monitoring method is required. In this study, a rapid assay based on a combination of helicase dependent amplification (HDA) and DNA signal detection via nucleic acid hybridization in blue silver nanoplates (AgNPls) was established. The assay started directly after short term enrichment in terrific broth using cotton ball swapping technique on seafood surface. A HDA amplification of hly gene of L. monocytogenes at 65 °C allowed DNA signals to be increased, whereas the rendered DNA products were detected via nucleic acid hybridization with an oligonucleotide probe in AgNPls solution. The positive specimens induced blue silver nanoplates’ aggregation resulting in pale gray change to colorless, while the negative specimens showed the blue color of non-aggregated nanoplates. The method had a detection limit at 100 copies of L. monocytogenes DNA per 50 g of sample. This method was rapid, simple, did not require laboratory facilities and was suitable for field food safety monitoring
WIDE-RANGING VICINITY ALGORITHM FOR SOLVING OPTIMAL REACTIVE POWER PROBLEM
Authors: Lenin K.
Published: November 2020

In this paper, Wide-ranging vicinity Algorithm (WVA) is proposed to solve optimal reactive power problem. Wide-ranging vicinity Algorithm equally improves the local & global search. From the global search space a set of arbitrary solutions are primarily generated and then the most excellent solution will give the optimal value. After that, the algorithm will iterate, & there will be two sets of generated solutions in iteration’s, one from the global search space, the other from the set of solutions & it will be produced from the vicinity of the most excellent solution. The proposed Wide-ranging vicinity Algorithm (WVA) has been tested on standard IEEE 118 & practical 191 bus test systems and simulation results show clearly the superior performance of the proposed Wide-ranging vicinity Algorithm (WVA) in reducing the real power loss & voltage profiles are within the limits.
Examining the Outcomes of Sport Specialization for Individual Athletes and the Industry

Sport specialization for young athletes has become a prerequisite for sport achievement, but academics have yet to explore the effects that sport specialization has on athletes’ participation patterns. Thus, this project explores the following research question: what are the effects of sport specialization on the individual volleyball athlete in terms of: i) patterns of participation in sport; and ii) consumption patterns in the sport industry? The methodological approach was to interview current and retired volleyball players aged 18 to 30 in Calgary, Alberta. The findings indicate that specialization in volleyball directly impacts an athlete’s patterns of participation in the sport of volleyball and the sport industry broadly. Participants indicated that their specialization years led to a specialized “mindset” and specialized knowledge, a unique analytical experience that influences sport participation and few individuals outside of the specialized athletic community acquire. Many participants also articulated that specialized training led to an identity as a “volleyball player” which was associated with a reduced desire to participate in other sports recreationally. Many participants explained how specialization affected their socialization (both positively and negatively) and led them to foster connections in a virtual community. The findings are a call to action for the volleyball industry to evaluate the participation patterns in specialized volleyball training and implement changes to benefit specialized athletes and the industry.

Published: November 2020

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disorder that affects the metabolism of blood glucose inside the body. One of the alternative treatments is by using traditional medicinal plants, which have hypoglycemia effects. A mahogany seed is one of the traditional medicinal plants that has been proven to treat diabetes and has been used for generations.  In the aqueous extract, ethanol 96 %, ethyl acetate, and hexane from mahogany seeds (Swietenia macrophylla King.) the inhibition of α-glucosidase activity are checked by measuring p-nitrophenol from p-nitrophenyl-α-D-glucopyranose (pNPG) on 400 nm.  The percentage value of the inhibition for α-glucosidase ranged from 6,36-56,77 %, with 96 % ethanol extract that has the highest value and the hexane extract with the lowest value.  Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, and triterpenoids, which could be responsible for the bioactivities shown by the 96 % ethanol extract and aqueous extract of S. macrophylla.
