Urban Wastewater Mining for Circular Resource Recovery: Approaches and Technology Analysis
Authors: Capodaglio Andrea G.
Published: November 2023

Urban areas comprise less than 1% of the Earth’s land surface, yet they host more than half the global population and are responsible for the majority of global energy use and related CO2 emissions. Urbanization is increasing the speed and local intensity of water cycle exploitation, with a large number of cities suffering from water shortage problems globally. Wastewater (used water) contains considerable amounts of embedded energy and recoverable materials. Studies and applications have demonstrated that recovering or re-capturing water, energy, and materials from wastewater is a viable endeavor, with several notable examples worldwide. Reclaiming all these resources through more widespread application of effective technological approaches could be feasible and potentially profitable, although challenging from several points of view. This paper reviews the possibilities and technical opportunities applicable to the mining of resources within the urban water cycle and discusses emerging technologies and issues pertaining to resource recovery and reuse applications. The present and future sustainability of approaches is also discussed. Since sewage management issues are not “one size fits all”, local conditions must be carefully considered when designing optimal local resource recovery solutions, which are influenced not just by technology but also by multiple economic, geographical, and social factors.

Improving resource utilization efficiency is critical for achieving high yields and long-term agricultural development in arid and semi-arid settings. Using potato as the research material, a field trial was carried out from 2020 to 2022 in dryland agricultural areas of China, with two treatments of ridge planting with a furrow mulching straw pattern (SML) and flat planting without mulching (CK). The responses of the dryland potato yield, water use efficiency (WUE), and soil hydrothermal properties to the two cultivation patterns were investigated. The results indicated that during the potato reproductive period, the soil temperature of 0–25 cm in the SML treatment dropped by 0.70–0.83 °C, in comparison to CK; the ridge and furrow-covered belt, which showed a warming effect at 7:00 a.m. in the seedling stage (SD) and the budding stage (BP), was lower than CK in all the rest of the time, and also the planting belt on the ridge, which cooled down significantly at 14:00 a.m. and the performance varied between the years of 7:00 a.m. and 17:00 a.m. SML significantly decreased the water consumption before BP but significantly increased it after BP in the year of median water and mild drought, while the total amount of water consumed during the entire growing season did not differ significantly from CK’s. In the year of moderate drought, SML’s total water consumption was significantly less than that of CK, with the water consumption significantly lower before BP and after the tuber bulking stage (TB), but significantly higher from the BP to the TB. In three consecutive growing seasons, SML increased the yields by 9.72–41.67% and WUE by 4.62–11.14% compared with CK, with the yields significantly or positively connected with the average soil temperatures at the TB, the starch accumulation stage (SA), and the water consumption from the BP to the TB. Overall, partial straw mulching could be used as a cultivation technique to achieve sustainable agricultural development in dry farming areas.

The status quo of development of science and technology has made people face various complex life changes that have led to a tendency for mental disorders. Basic Health Research (2018) confirms that the number of people with a mental health conditions in the world has reached 450 million. In Indonesia, the number of people with a mental health conditions has reached 1.7 per million to 7 per million, while in West Java, it reached 72 thousand people in 2018 (Riskesdas, 2018). The visit of patients with mental disorders is relatively high in West Java, namely the Babakan Sari Health Center, Bandung City. However, the services performed by healthcare workers are limited to inside the building. Posyandu activities by health cadres only serve toddlers and geriatric related to physical health problems.

In contrast, in reality, especially with the Covid-19 outbreak, many people are experiencing mental problems, especially anxiety. Based on this, mental health services are needed in the community as a first step to be carried out by increasing the knowledge and skills of cadres about early recognition of mental disorders and handling anxiety so that it does not progress to severe mental disorders. This community service program is carried out for health cadres in the working area of ​​the Babakan Sari Health Center, Bandung City, with the output in the form of booklets and videos that cadres and families can use, as well as increased knowledge and skills of health cadres about early recognition of mental disorders and anxiety management. The method used is cadre training on early recognition of mental disorders and how to deal with anxiety. The result of this community service is an increase in the knowledge and skills of health cadres in early recognition of mental disorders and treatment of anxiety and being able to convey them to families, reducing the level of family anxiety.

O artigo que ora apresentamos problematiza a formação e os enfrentamentos da Associação Liberdades Poéticas para atender ao Objetivo Número 16 da ONU, “Paz, Justiça e Instituições Eficazes”. Trata-se de um grupo de voluntários, composto por pessoas de diferentes sexualidades, formações acadêmicas, atuações profissionais e faixas etárias, criado em 2020 durante a pandemia, que tem como premissa reconhecer a prática da leitura como um Direito Humano, indispensável à humanização e à transformação dos sujeitos. Atuamos com remição de pena por leitura no sistema prisional paulista, que confere, às pessoas privadas de liberdade, quatro dias de redução na sentença para cada obra lida, em um limite de dez títulos/ano. Nossa fundamentação teórica sustenta-se em Antonio Candido, em Lynn Hunt, no Conselho Nacional de Justiça (CNJ), na Constituição Federal, entre outros. Concluímos que, apesar da orientação geral da ONU e dos esforços do governo federal com a publicação da Resolução 391/2021, do Conselho Nacional de Justiça, para flexibilizar a remição de pena por meio da leitura, agentes do sistema penitenciário no estado de São Paulo ainda operam sob uma lógica autoritária que não corresponde à do CNJ, tampouco à ODS 16.

Published: November 2023

A promoção do investimento responsável constitui a base de atracão de novos recursos e envolvimento do sistema financeiro na consecução dos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS). Embora seja fundamental a intervenção do Estado por meio de políticas, investimentos, regulamentações e finanças, importa lembrar que cada transformação necessita de um profundo compromisso e alinhamento do setor privado. Por outro, apesar da importância crítica que o setor empresarial desempenha (empresas e instituições financeiras), ainda existe falta de clareza ou consistência sobre o que significa para as empresas e os mercados financeiros alinharem-se com os ODS’s. O estudo examinou o impacto da oferta monetária e do crédito doméstico ao setor privado e do investimento no crescimento econômico em Moçambique, com base na abordagem de cointegração ARDL e teste de causalidade de Granger Block Exogeneity Wald Tests entre 1990 e 2022. Os resultados de longo prazo indicaram que apenas a oferta monetária tem impacto sobre o bem-estar econômico de Moçambique em 2,733%, enquanto os resultados do curto prazo indicam que a oferta monetária corrente afeta negativamente o crescimento econômico em 0,399%. Por outro lado, a oferta monetária de dois e três anos anteriores impacta positivamente o crescimento. O crédito interno ao setor privado corrente e sua primeira defasagem influenciam significativa e positivamente no crescimento econômico em Moçambique, enquanto o crédito interno, com segunda e terceira defasagens. tem influência negativa sobre o crescimento. Em termos de investimento na primeira e terceira defasagens, o impacto crescimento econômico é negativo, o que sugere a necessidade de o Governo racionalizar o uso de recurso através de transferências das despesas de consumo para as despesas de investimento. Os resultados do teste de causalidade de Granger indicaram que, em Moçambique, o bem-estar econômico medido pelo Produto Interno Bruto per capita tem repercussões sobre a oferta monetária e crédito interno ao setor privado. Foi encontrada uma causalidade unidirecional que vai de oferta monetária para crédito doméstico, e do investimento medido pela formação bruta de capital para o crédito doméstico. O estudo recomenda que o Banco de Moçambique adote uma política monetária que alterne regularmente expansão e contração, de forma a permitir que o aumento da oferta monetária seja promotor de taxas de crescimento mais alta. A economia deve alocar os créditos para empresas mais produtivas.
Les difficultés du débat sur la justice entre Socrate et Thrasymaque dans la République I
Authors: Safty Essam
Published: November 2023

La formidable diversité des interprétations relatives aux thèses soutenues par Thrasymaque dans la République de Platon ne fut pas sans porter préjudice à l’intelligence même desdites thèses : la divergence inattendue de lectures appela à son insu la multiplicité d’impressions de fragmenté voire de désordonné ; et le hasard des lectures exégétiques, lesquelles ne se départissent que rarement du ton polémique, continue à noyer à la fois dans l’impressionnisme et dans l’hypothétique la trajectoire réelle de la pensée du sophiste. De nouveaux efforts doivent ainsi être consentis afin de replacer la pensée du sophiste dans son cadre conceptuel propre : conséquente et irréductible, la réflexion de Thrasymaque doit être éclairée par une analyse d’ensemble, qui ne perde pas de vue qu’elle suit une marche, non pas concurrente, mais parallèle à celle des thèses soutenues par Socrate. Nous ne nous engagerons donc pas dans la polémique définitionnelle, ni ne jugerons la réflexion de Thrasymaque à l’aune de celle de Socrate, mais proposerons une relecture objective d’un débat qui non seulement soulève des questions d’ordre légal, épistémologique, politique ou éthique, mais fournit l’essentiel de son matériel théorique à l’édifice idéal de la République.

Key Points

The authors leverage the unique benefits of panoptic segmentation to perform the largest ever quantitation of reference kidney morphometry.

Kidney features vary with age and sex; and glomeruli size may intricately link to creatinine, defying prior notions.

Background

Reference histomorphometric data of healthy human kidneys are largely lacking because of laborious quantitation requirements. Correlating histomorphometric features with clinical parameters through machine learning approaches can provide valuable information about natural population variance. To this end, we leveraged deep learning (DL), computational image analysis, and feature analysis to associate the relationship of histomorphometry with patient age, sex, serum creatinine (SCr), and eGFR in a multinational set of reference kidney tissue sections.

Methods

A panoptic segmentation neural network was developed and used to segment viable and sclerotic glomeruli, cortical and medullary interstitia, tubules, and arteries/arterioles in the digitized images of 79 periodic acid–Schiff-stained human nephrectomy sections showing minimal pathologic changes. Simple morphometrics (e.g., area, radius, density) were quantified from the segmented classes. Regression analysis aided in determining the association of histomorphometric parameters with age, sex, SCr, and eGFR.

Results

Our DL model achieved high segmentation performance for all test compartments. The size and density of glomeruli, tubules, and arteries/arterioles varied significantly among healthy humans, with potentially large differences between geographically diverse patients. Glomerular size was significantly correlated with SCr and eGFR. Slight, albeit significant, differences in renal vasculature were observed between sexes. Glomerulosclerosis percentage increased, and cortical density of arteries/arterioles decreased, as a function of increasing age.

Conclusions

Using DL, we automated precise measurements of kidney histomorphometric features. In the reference kidney tissue, several histomorphometric features demonstrated significant correlation to patient demographics, SCr, and eGFR. DL tools can increase the efficiency and rigor of histomorphometric analysis.

O câncer ocular mais comum na infância é denominado retinoblastoma. Ele é potencialmente fatal se não diagnosticado e tratado precocemente e é causado pela mutação do gene RB1, um supressor tumoral. Objetivo: Apresentar a relação do acompanhamento oftalmológico infantil e o Retinoblastoma. Trata-se de um estudo do qual consta em revisão de literatura sistemática e observacional, realizada nas bases de dados eletrônicas Scielo, EBSCOhost, Lilacs e PubMed. Os artigos que foram selecionados são da língua inglesa, francesa e portuguesa, que foram publicados entre os anos de 2012 a 2022. O retinoblastoma tem uma prevalência de 1/15.000 nascimentos, podendo ser hereditário ou não hereditário. A incidência do retinoblastoma é maior até os 5 anos de idade ou em lactentes, chegando a uma média de 400 casos por ano no Brasil. A Sociedade Brasileira de Oftalmologia Pediátrica (SBOP) propõe que, além do acompanhamento ocular pelo pediatra ou pelo profissional da atenção primária de saúde, seja realizado pelo menos um exame oftalmológico completo entre as idades de 3 a 5 anos em todas as crianças saudáveis, idealmente precedido de um exame realizado entre 6 e 12 meses de idade. A necessidade de realizar rastreamento na infância segue sendo a melhor forma de diagnosticar alterações características da neoplasia precocemente. Com diagnóstico precoce e tratamento correto, o prognóstico de melhora e a sobrevida pode ser superior a 90%.

A Síndrome de Cushing (SC) é uma condição de anormalidades clínicas com altos níveis crônicos de cortisol ou de corticoides como os adrenocorticotróficos (ACTH). Os principais sintomas da SC são face em lua, obesidade do tronco, bolsas de gordura cervicais e dorsais e extremidades distais finas e descontrole glicêmico. Descrever a relação no desenvolvimento de diabetes em pacientes com Síndrome de Cushing. Pesquisa narrativa de artigos nas plataformas Scielo, CAPES e PubMed entre os anos 2018 e 2023 nas línguas português, inglês e espanhol. A SC acarreta o desenvolvimento de diabetes mellitus, e está presente em cerca de 15 a 50% dos pacientes, além de apresentar resistência à glicose devido ao excesso do hormônio glicocorticóide (GC) endógeno, essa exacerbação resulta na resistência à insulina e disfunção nas células beta, diminuindo assim a exocitose da insulina. Os GC quando estão em excesso, aumentam a produção de glicose no fígado estimulando a gliconeogênese, e nos músculos esqueléticos inibindo a síntese de glicogênio. A Síndrome de Cushing é uma condição que pode agravar o quadro de diabetes mellitus devido às suas complicações clínicas como a resistência à insulina e aumento da glicemia pelo hormônio glicocorticoide. Devendo assim os pacientes com essas duas patologias um cuidado redobrado no controle nos níveis de glicose na corrente sanguínea.

Simulating distributed consciousness with spatial grasp model
Authors:   Institute of Mathematical Machines and Systems Problems of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Sapaty P.S.
Published: November 2023

This work is focused on the organization and management of large distributed dynamic systems supplied with global awareness and consciousness, being based on different organizational philosophy, model and technology using holistic, self-spreading, recursive code rather than managing distributed systems as parts exchanging messages. The paper reviews many existing works and publications related to consciousness ideas, which have been appearing for centuries, grouping them into different categories and providing short abstracts for each. It summarizes the main ideas of the Spatial Grasp Model and Technology (SGT) reflecting general technology aspects and its Spatial Grasp Language (SGL) with its distributed interpretation in open networks. The article also compares SGT with the work on mobile agents through its predecessor WAVE using code mobility and emphasizing that the developed spatial paradigm is much more universal and powerful and that it was implemented many years before mobile agents. A simple example in SGL that demonstrates managing a swarm of chasers searching for scattered targets, providing it with higher awareness and consciousness, and improving performance is provided in the paper. The idea of the existence of global awareness and even the consciousness of the whole country is introduced by representing it as the integrity of vital components like the economy, society, defense, ecology, and government. The paper also provides some examples of solutions in SGL to very practical problems in these fields. Obtaining and simulating consciousness-related features like global feelings and opinions is discussed, which may fundamentally influence the development of the whole system. A concluding summary is provided on the potential applicability of SGT for different consciousness categories. The paper confirms the efficiency of the spatial model and technology for simulating different awareness and consciousness features in various distributed systems.
Residual resource of bridges and bridge structures
Authors:   Institute of Mathematical Machines and Systems Problems of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Cespedes Garcia N.V.
Published: November 2023

The article is devoted to the definition of current methods of assessing the residual resource of bridges and bridge structures. Extending the service life of bridges and determining the residual resource of bridges and bridge structures remain topical problems because capital restoration or construction of new bridges is a very time-consuming and costly process for any country in the world. An analysis of current foreign and domestic regulatory documents and research on the general state of the problem concerning the types of destruction, the impact of accidents, and external environmental factors were carried out. A large volume of information on the nature of occurrence and accumulation of damage in reinforced concrete bridge structures shows that the destruction of bridges is mainly influenced by production factors and environmental factors. The gradual destruction of the structure occurs as a result of the accumulation of various types of damage that arise from multiple repeated temporary loads, accidents, temperature changes, and the appearance of corrosion processes. To calculate the residual and total life of bridge el-ements, the crack resistance criterion was chosen, which takes into account the type of bridge construction, purpose, and operating conditions. As a determining parameter, the crack opening width was chosen for the elements of road and city bridges reinforced with tension rod rein-forcement, and the limit value of this parameter was established. In the absence of large failure statistics, it is suggested to use a probabilistic-physical approach to durability assessment. The main parameters of the probabilistic model with DM-failure distribution – are the average rate of change of the determining parameter and the coefficient of variation of the generalized deg-radation process. The results of the calculations show values that correspond to statistical and regulatory indicators. Qualitative collection of information on parameters of the destruction of bridges and bridge structures and a probabilistic-physical approach to assessing the real tech-nical condition of the object provide more accurate calculation results and allow for predicting the moment of reaching their maximum allowable value.
Approaches to ensuring information security

Published: November 2023

The article analyzes situational, integration, and integration and innovation approaches that have emerged among domestic enterprises in today's market to ensure information security. The following differences between them have been identified: the situational approach involves the point implementation of information security systems, decentralized management, the lack of a unified approach to system design, and inertia in system implementation; the integration ap-proach involves the presence of planning and information security provisioning services, the formulation of unified requirements for information security, analysis of the criticality of in-formation assets, risk and threat management, and the design of information security from business processes of the enterprise; the integration and innovation approach includes the pres-ence of security operation centers, operational response centers, centralized information securi-ty monitoring systems, the creation of Business Continuity Plans and Disaster Recovery Plans, and the formation of fault-tolerant protection systems. Some existing problems in choosing methods and information protection technologies are presented in the paper. The ways and means for ensuring effective information security in an enterprise are discussed. These are next-generation network firewalls, SIEM systems, DLP systems, as well as a cloud access security broker – CASB. Using CASB to ensure information security in the cloud allows for addressing the following tasks: access control; data protection; detection and response to threats; compli-ance with regulatory requirements; monitoring and auditing; and security policy management. Analyzing the approaches to ensuring information security in domestic enterprises, we can con-clude that it should be based on a comprehensive approach and effective integration of all ele-ments of IT infrastructure at different levels of their interaction.

Authors: Akman Hayri , Surme Koray
Published: November 2023

Background. Pulpotomy is a vital pulp treatment procedure frequently used in primary molars to preserve pulp vitality and function until tooth exfoliation. There is currently no pulp medicament with all the features of the ideal pulpotomy material. The present study compared the radiographic success of sodium hypochlorite with ferric sulfate (FS) when used for pulpotomy in primary molars. Methods. A retrospective analysis was performed to evaluate the success rates of primary molars pulpotomized using sodium hypochlorite or FS according to radiographic findings. Healthy 4‒10-year-old children who had pulpotomy procedures on primary molars between 2018 and 2021 at the pediatric dental clinic and had a control radiograph at least 12 months later were enrolled in the study. The chi-squared test was used to determine the differences in success between these two materials. Results. A total of 142 teeth, including 85 (59.9%) first primary molars and 57 (40.1%) second primary molars, in 98 healthy children were evaluated. The mean follow-up period of the teeth included in the study was 585.1±249.4 days. Radiographic success rates for NaOCl and FS groups were 73.8% and 71.0%, respectively, with no statistically significant difference (P>0.05). Internal root resorption (IRR) was the most common cause of radiographic failure in both groups. Conclusion. Radiographic success rates of both materials were similar, and using these materials in primary molar pulpotomy procedures can be recommended in clinical practice.

Published: November 2023

Background. Cleft lip/palate (CL/P) is a prevalent congenital disorder. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play a role in palatogenesis and have been proposed to be associated with nonsyndromic CL/P development. This study aimed to examine the association of MMP2 (rs243866) and MMP9 (rs3918242) gene polymorphism with nonsyndromic CL/P in an Iranian population. Methods. Blood samples were collected from 120 nonsyndromic CL/P patients and 140 healthy newborns in this case-control study. DNA extraction was performed by the salting-out method, and the samples underwent polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), using Pag and SphI enzymes, for genotyping MMP2 and MMP9 gene polymorphisms. Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS 11.5. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to calculate the odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The level of statistical significance was set at P<0.05. Results. No significant association was found between MMP2 gene polymorphism and nonsyndromic CL/P. However, the MMP9 gene polymorphism had a significant association with nonsyndromic CL/P, with a higher prevalence of the T allele and TT genotype in the case group than the control group. Conclusion. This study indicated a potential link between MMP9 gene polymorphism and nonsyndromic CL/P in an Iranian population. Future investigations with greater sample diversity and larger sample sizes are required to obtain more comprehensive and robust evidence. In-depth analyses and studies involving different ethnic groups can further enhance our understanding of the genetic underpinnings of CL/P.

Is the Earnings Quality of Family Businesses Better Than Non-family Businesses?
Authors: Purba Golrida Karyawati , Surya Audrey Natasha , Joshi Prem Lal , Tyagi Anshu
Published: November 2023

Objective - This study aims to prove whether the earnings quality of family businesses is better than non-family businesses to address two conflicting theories regarding the quality of family business earnings: agency theory and socioemotional wealth theory.
Methodology/Technique –. This research uses a regression model to examine the influence of family business/non-family business characteristics on earnings quality. To obtain robust results, this research measures earnings quality using 5 measurement proxies, including measurements of available opportunities for earnings management, earnings management practices, earnings persistence, earnings restatement, and investor responsiveness to earnings quality. The screening sample was carried out on firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the period 2016–2020, resulting in 932 research observations.
Findings - Overall, this research proves that FB earnings quality is better than NFB earnings quality. The results of this study extend the implementation of socioemotional wealth theory in explaining the characteristics of FB, in which the characteristics of FB and non-FB have an impact on earnings quality.
Novelty - Financial statement analysts can utilize the results of this study in interpreting earnings quality based on the characteristics of FB and NFB.

Banking Profitability: How do the banking intermediary, secondary reserve, operational efficiency, and credit risk effect?
Authors: Buchory Herry Achmad
Published: November 2023

Objective – A Bank is a financial institution that collects and distributes funds to the public to obtain Profitability. The Covid-19 pandemic has affected the economic sector, especially the banking sector. The intermediation function needs to run optimally, increasing investment in secondary reserves, decreasing operational efficiency, increasing credit risk, and reducing bank profitability. The research aimed to determine the effect of Banking Intermediation, Secondary Reserves, Operational Efficiency, and Credit Risk on Profitability at Regional Development Banks in Indonesia for the 2019 – 2022 period, partially and simultaneously. Banking Intermediation is measured by the ratio of credit to total third-party funds (Loan to Deposit Ratio/LDR), Secondary Reserve is measured by the percentage of securities held to third-party funds (TPF), Operational Efficiency is measured by the ratio of operating expenses to operating income (OEOI), Credit Risk is measured by Non-performing Loans (NPLs), and Profitability is measured by Return on Assets (ROA).
Methodology – Descriptive and verification methods with a quantitative approach will be used in this study with secondary data from published financial reports from 22 Regional Development Banks in Indonesia. The data analysis technique used is multiple linear regression.
Findings – The study's findings show that partially LDR has a positive and significant effect on ROA; Secondary reserve has a positive but not significant impact on ROA; OEOI and NPLs ratios have a negative and significant effect on ROA. While simultaneously, LDR, Secondary Reserve, OEOI Ratio, and NPLs substantially impact ROA.
Novelty – Compared to previous studies, bank profitability is not only influenced by banking intermediation, operational efficiency, and credit risk but also by secondary reserves, although not significantly.

Multiple Blockholders, Audit Committee’s Power and Earnings Management: Evidence from Indonesia
Authors: Rudyanto Astrid , Hidagusti Resti Rachma
Published: November 2023

Objective – The purpose of this study is to empirically analyze the impact of the power status of audit committees and multiple blockholders on accrual earnings management.
Methodology – This study applied a quantitative research method with secondary data from the annual report. In this research, manufacturing companies were used as samples listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange with a total of 4 years ranging from the period of 2018 – 2021. This research used multiple regression with fixed effect driscoll-kraay standard error.
Findings – It is revealed that multiple blockholders have a positive impact on accrual and real earnings management, while the power status of the audit committee has no impact on accrual and real earnings management. It can be implied that in Indonesia, multiple blockholders play a significant role in increasing earnings management, and audit committees’ power cannot reduce earnings management in the presence of multiple blockholders.
Novelty – Previous literature argues that the power of audit committees should be bigger than management to control earnings management. However, in the context of Indonesia, where a concentrated ownership structure is prevalent, multiple blockholders can play a significant role in earnings management. This study is the first to analyze the negative effect of multiple blockholders in the country, which is dominant with a concentrated ownership structure. If multiple blockholders enjoy the private benefits of control through earnings management, the audit committee’s power over management would be useless.
