El propósito de este trabajo fue evaluar la efectividad de la entrevista motivacional en la consulta de nutrición sobre indicadores de riesgo cardiometabólico en pacientes con trastorno bipolar. Se realizó un estudio experimental en que el grupo control recibió orientación nutricional basada en planes de alimentación y el grupo de intervención recibió consulta nutricional incorporando los principios y habilidades de la entrevista motivacional. Los participantes fueron seguidos por tres meses y se realizaron evaluaciones de hábitos alimenticios, actividad física, riesgo cardiometabólico, composición corporal y calidad de vida. El grupo de entrevista motivacional redujo el consumo de carnes (B=-0.45, p=0.032) y embutidos (B=-0.60, p=0.002). Asimismo, la presión arterial diastólica (B=-6.97, p=0.029) y glucemia (B=-9.27, p=0.097) de estos pacientes tendieron a disminuir. La entrevista motivacional promueve cambios que pueden hacer una diferencia clínica; aun en reducidos periodos de tiempo. Los nutriólogos capacitados para su implementación disponen de una herramienta adicional para el manejo de comorbilidad cardiometabólica en población vulner
Readings on anorexia from psychoanalysis: a sistematice review/Lecturas sobre la anorexia desde el psicoanálisis: una revisión sistemática
Authors: Campodónico Nicolas
Published: June 2023

This work proposes to carry out a systematic review on the different readings on anorexia to describe the proposals of approach in psychoanalysis and its methodological perspectives. The systematic review, according to the PRISMA Declaration, will be carried out in July 2022 and fifteen scientific articles will be selected from seven databases (REDIB, SCIELO, Dialnet, REDALYC, DOAJ, SNRD and Portal Regional en Salud Organización Panamericana de la Salud) that refer to publications in Spanish between 2022-2012 taking as references the proposals of the psychoanalytic clinic on anorexia, where it is concluded about the similarities and differences in the approaches to the subject from psychoanalysis on the consideration of anorexia both at a theoretical and clinical-therapeutic level. Today's anorexia could be thought of as the response of some hysterical young people to this imperative: the subject insists on affirming his subjective division, rejecting the object that tries to fill it. It strives to house nothingness, the space of pure desire.

¿Calificar o evaluar? Dos procesos que se confunden y pervierten el acto educativo
Authors: Díaz-Barriga Ángel
Published: June 2023

En este artículo el autor explora los conceptos de calificación y evaluación, y en particular cómo la calificación ha pervertido los procesos en la adquisición de aprendizaje en los estudiantes, ante la necesidad de gestionar el trabajo que realiza la escuela de manera diferente. Así, dichos procesos quedan reducidos a lo cuantificable y a trámites administrativos para marcar una diferencia entre quien obtiene o no buenas calificaciones. El autor hace un recorrido a partir de la aparición de la didáctica como disciplina, en el siglo XVI, para analizar en tres relevantes obras en la materia, el papel que entonces se otorgaba al examen y cómo a lo largo del tiempo se dejó de considerar al examen como espacio para la reflexión para verlo como un medio para medir cuánto se sabe. Se desarrolla un análisis en el que se reflexiona acerca de la asignación de una calificación al estudiante y cómo esta afecta o beneficia su formación educativa. La diferencia entre calificar y evaluar no es un problema que pueda resolver la didáctica. Analizar este aspecto abre muchos retos para la transformación de la educación; el autor plantea que la didáctica puede ayudar a restablecer las condiciones de trabajo dentro del aula, que la construcción de procesos de formación y de aprendizaje, tarea sustantiva de la educación se puedan revalorizar y potencializar. No se deben confundir los medios administrativos y de gestión con la finalidad de la educación.
En defensa de la universidad brasileña. Impresiones contemporáneas desde la obra de Florestan Fernandes
Authors: Martins Fernando-José
Published: June 2023

Desde la crisis económica que comenzó en 2014, la universidad pública en Brasil ha enfrentado cuestionamiento y recortes. Los cuestionamientos son administrativos y han tomado el imaginario social con adhesión de la opinión pública. El actual gobierno brasileño potenció esta situación, ampliando los recortes e intensificando críticas con elementos ideológicos y juicios de valor con relación a la universidad. Para contrarrestar este "ataque" a la universidad, realizaremos un análisis a partir de la obra: Universidad pública: ¿reforma o revolución?, escrita en otro contexto histórico, pero con teorizaciones y análisis aplicables al momento actual. El análisis bibliográfico y una encuesta de medios se utilizan para resaltar las manifestaciones públicas del gobierno sobre el tema. Finalmente, visualiza la contribución de Florestan Fernandes al análisis de la universidad pública actual.

Estimating the Stability of an AC-DC Hybrid Micro Grid with Multilayer Power Flow While Using Interconnected Converter
Authors: Dhumal S. D. , Paratwar Dr. P. V.
Published: June 2023

Abstract: Regionalized networks, also known as micro grids, must be able to operate independently by cutting off their connection to the main grid in order for a system to stay stable. Customers' reliability can be raised by providing a more robust power supply. Due to reversed energy flow from distributed generator units, regional fluctuations, temporary micro grid modes, significant frequency discrepancies in electrically isolated mode operation, as well as financial and supply demand uncertainties, consistency, dependability, and security are in fact the main problems with micro grids. The system is more unstable when electrical energy is transmitted from the AC side to the DC side and from the DC side to the AC side, despite the fact that strengthening the stability of the hybrid micro grid is their main objective. Therefore, a variety of circuit breakers, buck boost converters, grid bidirectional converters, and intermediate IC (Interlinking converter) are utilized to preserve the stability of the hybrid micro grid. This article explains how to build a bidirectional power flow through an interactive converter using stability evaluation using MATLAB. Simulation may improve the circuit's performance for the best outcomes achievable. The most stable hybrid micro grid findings were shown. An interlinking converter is utilized in this work to improve micro grid stability while power is flowing via the AC and DC grids in both directions. The findings might be acquired using a MATLAB simulation. This method also has the advantage of reducing the amount of time needed for the system to stabilize. Consequently, the system will be more dependable and will provide excellent supplies.

Authors: Octavia Vera , Amalia Nur
Published: June 2023

Learning and preparing for exams is an essential part of academic life. It requires learning skills and effective time management. However, many students are forced or accustomed to studying at the last minute, which can harm student learning and health. This qualitative phenomenological study aims to explore the phenomenon of learning the overnight speeding system by analyzing and describing the overnight speeding system (SKS) learning strategies for 6th graders in SD SD SDN Trobayan and student perceptions of the SKS strategy. This study also seeks to explore the perspectives of teachers and principals on this phenomenon. This study involved four students, one teacher, and the principal as participants. Data was collected through interviews and document analysis and analyzed using a four-step process: data reduction, analysis, presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that the appropriate credit learning strategy was to re-read the material and make a summary. Although not entirely a lousy learning method, it is necessary to pay attention to the habit of studying fast overnight so that it does not affect the health and performance of students. The scores of students who used the overnight speed study system the night before the test showed successful learning, with an average FCJ score of 801 and a QDNA score of 804, which were higher than the class average of 768.12. The findings of this research can provide teachers and students with insight into how to optimize their study strategies and time management skills, as well as avoid the negative consequences of overnight speeding systems.

Authors: Barakah Fadlan , Bukhari Bukhari , Sa'i Sa'i
Published: June 2023

This article discusses the concept of Muhammadiyah's nationalism and the challenges it faces in the present context. The research utilizes a literature-based approach, drawing from relevant sources. The study highlights Muhammadiyah's perspective that Islam and nationalism can coexist. Muhammadiyah's nationalism is rooted in religious beliefs and is based on Islam and the socio-historical context of Indonesia. The history of Muhammadiyah as an Islamic movement founded by KH Ahmad Dahlan demonstrates their commitment to the development of the Muslim community in Indonesia. However, Muhammadiyah and moderate Islamic movements encounter challenges in dealing with views that consider nationalism contradictory to Islamic teachings. The primary challenge faced by Muhammadiyah's nationalism today is the rapid advancement of technology, which has not been accompanied by the strong internalization of Muhammadiyah's nationalist ideology among the younger generation. Additionally, the rise of transnational Islamic movements that oppose nationalism poses a significant challenge.

Dinamika Konflik antar Wahabi dan Aswaja di Aceh
Authors: Chairun Nisak Cut Lusi , Rohmah Tuthi’ Mazidar
Published: June 2023

This article aims to discuss the dynamics of the conflict between Aswaja and Wahabi ideologies in Aceh, utilizing a literature review approach. The data for this article were obtained from relevant literature sources, including books and scholarly journals. The study reveals that religious conflicts in Aceh have occurred in various historical periods. These conflicts involve differing perspectives and have resulted in tensions among groups in Aceh, including the rejection of religious figures, the dissolution of religious gatherings, and debates on religious practices. The conflicts are closely related to the social and political context of Aceh, as well as the differing interpretations of religion between the exclusive Wahabi ideology and the inclusive Aswaja ideology. Aswaja, following the Shafi'i school of thought, has a distinct cultural emphasis on celebrating religious traditions, while Wahabi ideology opposes such practices and considers those who do not adhere to their ideology as infidels. In summary, the conflicts are driven by divergent views on religious practices, interpretations of religion, and beliefs in the existence of God.

KAIDAH FIKIH DALAM REAKTUALISASI HUKUM ISLAM
Authors: Irwandi Irwandi
Published: June 2023

Human life continues to develop in accordance with its human nature, making many new cases appear without any legal provisions in either the Al-Quran or Hadith. The dynamics of society that continues to develop are not in line with legal texts which are static in nature. Based on these conditions, it is necessary to actualize Islamic law. Another problem that arises is that in order to carry out reactualization, there must still be a mechanism or formula for discovering the new law. The fiqh rules actually provide a concrete solution to the need for a method or way of finding the law (istinbath al-ahkam). With the existence of fiqh principles, it is hoped that the answers to contemporary problems can be found as an application to the re-actualization of Islamic law.

During deep-sea freediving, many freedivers describe symptoms fairly similar to what has been related to inert gas narcosis in scuba divers. This manuscript aims to present the potential mechanisms underlying these symptoms. First, known mechanisms of narcosis are summarized while scuba diving. Then, potential underlying mechanisms involving the toxicity of gases (nitrogen, carbon dioxide and oxygen) are presented in freedivers. As the symptoms are felt during ascent, nitrogen is likely not the only gas involved. Since freedivers are frequently exposed to hypercapnic hypoxia toward the end of the dive, it is proposed that carbon dioxide and oxygen gases both play a major role. Finally, a new “hemodynamic hypothesis” based on the diving reflex is proposed in freedivers. The underlying mechanisms are undoubtedly multifactorial and therefore require further research and a new descriptive name. We propose a new term for these types of symptoms: freediving transient cognitive impairment.

Published: June 2023

Introduction: In this study, we aimed to examine dental barotrauma and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) complaints in a large group of divers. Method: This survey study included scuba divers older than 18. The questionnaire contained 25 questions about the demographic characteristics of divers, dental health behaviors, and diving-related dental, sinus and/or temporomandibular joint pain Results: The study group consisted of 287 instructors, recreational and commercial divers (mean age 38.96 years) (79.1% males). A total of 46% of divers reported a frequency of tooth brushing less than twice a day; 28% never receive a routine dental examination; 22.6% experienced dental pain after and/or during diving, mostly in the upper posterior teeth (40%); 17% required dental treatment; 77% of these cases are restoration fracture. TMJ symptoms after diving were statistically significantly higher in women (p=0.04). Jaw and masticatory muscle pain in the morning (p<0.001) limitation of mouth opening (p=0.04) and joint sounds in daily life (p<0.001) were recorded as exacerbated after diving; the results were found to be statistically significant. Conclusion: In our study, the localization of barodontalgia was consistent with the distribution of caries and restored tooth areas in the literature. Dive-related TMJ pain was also more common in those with pre-dive problems such as bruxism and joint noise. Our results are important to remind us of the necessity of preventive dentistry practices and early diagnosis of problems in divers. Divers should take personal precautions, such as brushing their teeth twice a day and avoiding the need for urgent treatment. The use of a personalized mouthpiece is also recommended for divers to prevent dive-related temporomandibular joint diseases.
Event-Triggered Prescribed-time control for a Class of Uncertain Nonlinear Systems
Authors: Yang Huanyu , Wang Yujuan
Published: June 2023

This paper addresses the event-triggered prescribed-time control problem
for a class of high-order nonlinear systems based on finite time-varying
gain. Due to the existence of unknown time-varying gain and system
uncertainties, the resultant control with prescribed-time convergence
performance becomes nontrivial. The problem becomes even more complex
due to the use of event-based communication instead of continuous
communication. To tackle the aforementioned challenges, this paper
proposes an event-triggered prescribed-time stabilization approach with
the following key steps. Firstly, we establish a new prescribed-time
stability lemma to overcome the technical difficulty arising from the
prescribed-time controller design, and stability analysis. Secondly, we
given the controller design procedure upon using the backstepping
technique. Thirdly, we redesign the time-varying trigger conditions
based on time-varying functions and saturation ceilings, which allows
the controller terminal jitter to be mitigated and the controller to be
implemented straightforwardly in practice. Meanwhile, we incorporate the
compensation technique upon using symbolic functions and time-varying
finite decay gains into the controller design to handle the error caused
by event-based communication. Furthermore, the proposed control scheme
avoids Zeno behavior. The numerical simulation confirms the
effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.
Non-invasive left ventricular pressure-strain loops for quantitative assessment of early left ventricular systolic dysfunction in patients with chronic kidney disease
Authors: Wang Qin , Wang Jinping , Li Yan , Zhang Jie , Wang Rui , Xu Haiyun
Published: June 2023

Objective: To investigate the value of the left ventricular
pressure-strain loop (LVPSL) for quantitative assessment of myocardial
work (MW) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and to analyze
the factors influencing MW. Methods: Retrospective analysis of
75 patients with CKD (37 patients with CKD stages 2-3, and 38 patients
with CKD stages 4-5) and 35 healthy volunteers between March and August
2022. Global work index (GWI), global constructive work (GCW), global
wasted work (GWW), and global work efficiency (GWE) were obtained by
echocardiography, and the differences between the groups were
compared.These parameters were further analyzed for correlation with
conventional echocardiographic indices, global longitudinal strain
(GLS), and the characteristics of participants. Results: GWE
and GLS were reduced and GWW was increased in the CKD group (all
P <0.001). GWW was higher and GWE was lower in CKD
stages 4-5 than in CKD stages 2-3 (all P <0.01).
Multiple linear regression revealed that age, serum creatinine, and GLS
influenced GWE (β = -0.054, P = 0.005; β = -0.003, P =
0.020; β = -0.563, P <0.001, respectively), whereas
age, serum creatinine, and systolic pressure influenced GWW (β = 1.362,
0.068, 1.167, P = 0.001, 0.016, 0.003, respectively).
Conclusion: LVPSL can be used for non-invasive quantitative
assessment of MW in patients with CKD, providing a new sensitive
approach for the clinical assessment of myocardial function. Increased
age, serum creatinine and systolic pressure may be potential drivers of
increased GWW, whereas increased age, serum creatinine and decreased GLS
may be potential drivers of decreased GWE, thereby providing some
reference for the clinical treatment of CKD
Reactive Power Output Modeling of Synchronous Condenser in UHVDC Converter Station Based on Interlaced Superposition CNN-BiLSTM
Authors: wang lin , Wang Honghua , Lu Tianhang , Wang Chengliang
Published: June 2023

For sake of guaranteeing the stable operating of power system,
synchronous condenser (SC) is configured in ultra-high voltage direct
current (UHVDC) converter station for affording dynamic reactive power
support to power system. Focusing on reactive power regulation system of
SC with strong coupling, multivariable, and nonlinear, it is difficult
for the universal analytic method to exactly build reactive power output
model of SC. Reactive power output model of SC in UHVDC converter
station based on interlaced superposition convolutional neural
network-bidirectional long short-term memory (CNN-BiLSTM) is presented.
The excitation voltage, excitation current of SC are used as inputs for
training and test sampled data, and the reactive power of SC is used as
outputs for training and test sampled data. CNN model based on
interlaced superposition is superimposed of two convolution units with
different structures to extract the feature of sample data, which are
transformed into feature vectors and input into BiLSTM model. Bayesian
optimization method is used to optimize its hyper parameters. The
predicted results indicate that the proposed reactive power output model
of SC in UHVDC converter station based on interlaced superposition
CNN-BiLSTM improves modeling accuracy and generalization ability, and
provides a reference for SC reactive power regulation control.
Rapid construction of E.coli chassis with genome multi-position integration of isopentenol utilization pathway for efficient and stable terpenoid accumulation
Authors: Wang Yu-zhou , Jing Hong-yan , Li Xin , Zhang Feng , Sun Xiaoman , Huang He
Published: June 2023

The isopentenol utilization pathway (IUP) is potential in terpenoids
synthesis. This study aimed to construct IUP-employed E. coli chassis
for stably synthesizing terpenoids. As to effectiveness, promotor
engineering strategy was employed to regulate IUP expression level,
while ribosome-binding site (RBS) library of the key enzyme was
constructed for screening the optimal RBS, followed by optimization of
concentration of inducer and substrates, the titer of reporting
production, lycopene, from 0.087 to 8.67 mg/OD600. As about stability,
the IUP expression cassette was integrated into the genome through
transposition tool based on CRISPR-associated transposases. Results
showed that the strain with 13 copies produced 1.78-fold lycopene titer
that of the controlled strain with IUP-harbored plasmid, and it
exhibited stable expression after ten successions while the plasmid loss
was observed in the controlled strain in the 3rd succession. This
strategy provides valuable information for rapid construction of highly
effective and stable chassis employing IUP for terpenoids production.
How plant traits respond to and affect vertebrate and invertebrate herbivores---are measurements comparable across herbivore types?
Authors: Lebbink Gabrielle , Risch Anita , Schuetz Martin , Firn Jennifer
Published: June 2023

Examining how plant traits respond to and affect herbivory is a common
approach to exploring plant-herbivore interactions and their impact on
ecosystem processes and functioning. Despite plants being potentially
exposed to both vertebrate and invertebrate herbivores simultaneously,
fundamental differences in the ecology and evolution of these two
herbivore guilds results in them often being studied separately. A
synthesis of the literature is needed to understand the types of plant
traits examined and their response to, and effect on (in terms of forage
selection) vertebrate and invertebrate herbivory, and to identify
associated knowledge gaps. Focusing on grassland systems and species, we
found 139 articles that met our criteria: 40 invertebrate, 97 vertebrate
and 2 focussed on both vertebrate and invertebrate herbivores.
Invertebrate focussed research, research conducted in the Southern
Hemisphere and research on non-domesticated herbivores was significantly
underrepresented based on our search. Differences in study focus (trait
response or trait affect), along with considerable differences in the
types of traits examined, led to limited capacity for comparison between
the two herbivore guilds. For both invertebrates and vertebrates
however, plant traits related to growth, such as leaf nitrogen and
photosynthetic capacity, were often positively associated with
herbivory. Future research should prioritise understanding how
invertebrates, and the combined impact of both invertebrates and
vertebrates’ respond to and affect plant traits. This review can be used
as a guide for future research to select plant traits which are commonly
measured either within one, or across both guild/s, as to help improve
comparability and the broader significance of results, while also
extending research breadth and knowledge.

Published: June 2023

Eco-friendly and sustainable energy harvests that can alleviate concerns
on the energy crisis and environmental pollution are in demand.
Exploiting nature-derived biomaterials is imperative to develop these
carbon-neutral energy harvesters. In this study, lignin/polycaprolactone
nanofiber (NF)-based triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are fabricated
using an electrospinning technique. Nanotextured morphology of
electrospun lignin/polycaprolactone NFs and wettability modification of
lignin into hydrophilicity can significantly enhance electron transfer
between tribopositive and tribonegative materials, resulting in the
highest energy-harvesting efficiency in their class. The output voltage
of the lignin-based TENG exceeds 95 V despite relatively low tapping
force of 9 N and frequency of 9 Hz. Various mechanical and
physicochemical characterizations, including scanning electron
microscopy (SEM), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, X-ray
diffraction (XRD) analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis,
and atomic force microscopy (AFM), are performed, confirming the
mechanical durability, biocompatibility, and industrial viability of
lignin-based TENG developed here.
Power System Risk Assessment Strategy Based on Weighted Comprehensive Allocation and Improved BP Neural Network
Authors: Xiao Peng , Jiang Yixin , Liang Zhihong , Wang Hailin , Zhang Yunan
Published: June 2023

In the operation and maintenance process of the power system, factors
such as power failures and supply-demand imbalances can have adverse
effects on the normal power supply process. It is necessary to reduce or
even solve this problem through corresponding power system risk warning.
Based on this, the article proposes a self-assessment and early warning
strategy for power system risks based on improved ant colony
optimization algorithm (IACO) and BP neural network. Firstly, a
combination of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Entropy Weighting
Method (EWM) is used to comprehensively assign weights to indicators
that have a significant impact on the stability and safety of power
system operation, avoiding the negative impact of subjective experience
or objective factors on the weight allocation results. Secondly,
multiple regression analysis is used to calculate the risk assessment
results of the selected indicators and weights corresponding to the
power system. According to the above weight allocation process, training
and testing samples for the BP neural network were calculated and
obtained. Then, IACO is used to global optimization the weights and
thresholds of the BP neural network, and an improved BP neural network
model for power system risk independent assessment is established.
Finally, the designed risk assessment and warning strategy was tested.
The results indicate that the proposed power system risk assessment and
early warning method can accurately predict the actual working status of
the power system based on weight values, providing data reference for
technical personnel, and thereby improving power supply quality. Key

Nitric oxide is involved in the regulation of guard mother cell division by inhibiting the synthesis of ACC
Authors: Chen Xiaolan , Zhou Lijuan , Yu Shuangshuang , Liu Yue , Wang Yanyan , Wen Yuanyuan , Zhang Zijing , Ru Yanyu , Zhaorong *
Published: June 2023

A stoma forms by a series of asymmetric divisions of a stomatal lineage
precursor cell and the terminal division of a guard mother cell (GMC).
The symmetric division of the GMC is rigidly restricted to only once
through complex genetic regulation mechanisms. Here, we show that nitric
oxide (NO) is involved in the regulation of the GMC terminal division.
NO donor treatment results in the formation of single guard cells
(SGCs). SGCs are also produced in plants that accumulate high NO,
whereas clustered guard cells (GCs) appear in plants with low NO
accumulation. NO treatment promotes the formation of SGCs in the
stomatal cell signaling mutants sdd1, epf1 epf2, tmm1,
erl2 and yda-1, reduces the cell number per stomatal
cluster in the fama-1 and flp-1 myb88, but has no effect
on stomatal cells of cdkb1;1 cyca2;2 cyca2;3 cyca2;4 quadruple
mutants. Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), a positive regulator
of GMC division, reduces the NO-induced SGC formation. Further
investigation found that NO inhibits ACC synthesis by repressing the
expression of several ACC SYNTHASE ( ACS) genes, and in
turn ACC represses NO accumulation by promoting the expression of
HEMOGLOBIN 1 ( HB1) which encodes a NO scavenger. This
work shows that NO plays a role in the regulation of the GMC terminal
division by modulating ACC accumulation in the Arabidopsis cotyledon.
A Globally Convergent Composite-Step Trust-Region Framework for Real-Time Optimization with Plant-Model Mismatch

Published: June 2023

Inaccurate models limit the performance of model-based real-time
optimization (RTO) and even cause system instability. Therefore, a RTO
framework that can guarantee global convergence with the presence of
plant-model mismatch is desired. In this regard, the trust-region
framework is simple to implement and guarantees globally convergent for
unconstrained problems. However, it remains to be seen if the
trust-region strategy can handle inequality constraints directly with
the common model adaptation method. This paper addresses this issue and
proposes a novel composite-step trust-region framework that guarantees
global convergence for constrained RTO problems. The trial step is
decomposed into a normal step that improves feasibility and a tangential
step that reduces the cost function. In each iteration, the model
optimization problem with relaxed constraints is solved. The proof of
the global convergence property under structural plant-model mismatch is
given.

Landfilling of untreated waste is still seen as an acceptable practice in many developed countries. Sanitary landfills are facilities for the disposal of untreated mixed municipal solid waste as a major waste stream. The Waste Management and Public Cleansing Act of 1970 is the main waste legislation in Japan. Waste management methods differ in Japan from the European Union and other countries. As waste incineration is prevalent in Japan, the final waste disposal rate in landfills is extremely low, occupying less than 5% of the waste generated. In Japan, there are obligatory barrier systems, treatment facilities for leachate and concrete structures for major facilities (waste storage structures, barriers, and leachate treatment facilities), landfill operations (dumping and soil covering) and management facilities (weighing and monitoring equipment) which are identified in the Guideline Manual of Landfill Site. This work examines the landfill protection systems in Japan based on two case studies from selected research facilities.

Today, the use of recyclable materials has been the focus of researchers around the world. The use of re-cycled concrete aggregates, although beneficial for environmental reasons, brings many problems. One of the basic factors is the presence of old mortar and impurities in these aggregates. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct comprehensive studies in this field. Hence, the paper presents the results of testing the adhesion of B500SP structural steel to concrete subjected to thermal loads in the range of 300–700°C. The concretes were designed exclusively based on waste aggregate made of precious waste ceramics and two types of cement: CEM I 42.5 R portland cement and Górkal 70 alumina cement. The method of direct pulling of a steel rod from the concrete cover (pull-out test) was used in the tests. The test results confirmed that the adhesion of the selected steel grade to concrete based on recycled aggregate does not differ from the results obtained for concrete with natural aggregate.

OBJECTIVE

South Asians are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (T2D) more than a decade earlier in life than seen in European populations. We hypothesised that studying the genomics of age of diagnosis in these populations may give insight into earlier age diagnosis of T2D among individuals of South Asian descent. 

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS 

We conducted a meta-analysis of GWAS of age at diagnosis of T2D in 34,001 individuals from four independent cohorts of European and South Asian Indians. 

RESULTS 

We identified two signals near the TCF7L2 and CDKAL1 associated with age at the onset of T2D. The strongest genome-wide significant variants at chromosome 10q25·3 in TCF7L2 (rs7903146; p = 2·4 ×10-12, Beta = -0·436; SE = 0·02) and chromosome 6 p22·3 in CDKAL1 (rs9368219; p = 2·29 ×10-8; Beta = -0·053; SE=0·01) were directionally consistent across ethnic groups and present at similar frequencies, however both loci harboured additional independent signals that were only present in the South Indian Cohorts. A genome wide signal was also obtained at chromosome 10q26·12 in WDR11 (rs3011366; p = 3.255 ×10-8; Beta = 1·44; SE=0·25) specifically in the South Indian cohorts. Heritability estimates for the age diagnosis were much stronger in South Indian compared to Europeans, and a polygenic risk score was constructed using a South Indians, which explained about 2% trait variance.

CONCLUSIONS 

Our findings provide a better understanding of ethnic differences in the age at diagnosis and indicate the potential importance of ethnic differences in the genetic architecture underpinning T2D.

IntroductionDigitalisation of Electronic Health Record (EHR) data has created unique opportunities for research. However, these data are routinely collected for operational purposes and so are not curated to the standard required for research. Harnessing such routine data at large scale allows efficient and long-term epidemiological and health services research.
ObjectivesTo describe the establishment a linked EHR derived data platform in the National Centre for Healthy Ageing, Melbourne, Australia, aimed at enabling research targeting national health priority areas in ageing.
MethodsOur approach incorporated: data validation, curation and warehousing to ensure quality and completeness; end-user engagement and consensus on the platform content; implementation of an artificial intelligence (AI) pipeline for extraction of text-based data items; early consumer involvement; and implementation of routine collection of patient reported outcome measures, in a multisite public health service.
ResultsData for a cohort of >800,000 patients collected over a 10-year period have been curated within the platform's research data warehouse. So far 117 items have been identified as suitable for inclusion, from 11 research relevant datasets held within the health service EHR systems. Data access, extraction and release processes, guided by the Five Safes Framework, are being tested through project use-cases. A natural language processing (NLP) pipeline has been implemented and a framework for the routine collection and incorporation of patient reported outcome measures developed.
ConclusionsWe highlight the importance of establishing comprehensive processes for the foundations of a data platform utilising routine data not collected for research purposes. These robust foundations will facilitate future expansion through linkages to other datasets for the efficient and cost-effective study of health related to ageing at a large scale.
