Soil Air Permeability Modeling and Its Use for Predicting Unsaturated Soil Hydraulic Conductivity
Authors: Rahmati Mehdi , Neyshaboury Mohammad Reza
Published: December 2016

Core Ideas

Ka(θ) was modeled by considering a similar phenomenon between water and air flows in soil medium.

Kw(θ) and Ka(θ) were theoretically linked by considering a similar intrinsic permeabilities for both water and air.

The proposed models were tested with laboratory‐measured data showing reasonable accuracy.

Since the direct measurement of soil hydraulic conductivity [Kw(θ)] is time consuming and difficult, several methods have been suggested for its prediction. However, their application still requires some kind of direct or experimental measurement, even after calibration. Considering much easier measurement of the air permeability [Ka(θ)] and the water and air flows in the soil medium, several attempts have been made to link Kw(θ) and Ka(θ), most of which have used Ka(θ) to predict the saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks). The current research was aimed to model the air permeability and evaluate its application for Kw(θ) prediction. In this regard, laboratory measurements were conducted for Kw(θ) and Ka(θ) at different soil moisture contents (θ). Then, we introduced a semitheoretical model and evaluated it using measured data. Results showed that the proposed model can predict Kw(θ), with an average evaluation error of 3.69% and average R2 of 0.88. Regarding the fast and nondestructive measurement of Ka(θ) compared with Kw(θ), the proposed model seems to be more practical to characterize unsaturated soil hydraulic conductivity and can improve the accuracy and efficiency of Kw(θ) estimation.

Published: December 2016

The development of super-resolved fluorescence microscopy, for which the Nobel Prize was awarded in 2014, has been a topic of interest to physicists and biologists alike. It is inevitable that numerous questions in biomedical research cannot be answered by means other than direct observation. In this review, advances to fluorescence microscopy are covered in a widely accessible fashion to facilitate its use in decisions related to its acquisition and utilization in biomedical research.
Who gets a lung transplant? Assessing the psychosocial decision-making process for transplant listing
Authors: Lewandowski Amber N , Skillings Jared Lyon
Published: December 2016

In the United States, there is a significant shortage of available donor organs. This requires transplant professionals to hold simultaneous, yet divergent roles as (1) advocates for patients who are in need of a lifesaving transplant, and (2) responsible stewards in the allocation of scarce donor organs. In order to balance these roles, most transplant teams utilize a committee based decision-making process to select suitable candidates for the transplant waiting list. These committees use medical and psychosocial criteria to guide their decision to list a patient. Transplant regulatory bodies have established medical standards for identifying appropriate medical candidates for transplantation. However, transplant regulatory bodies have not developed policies to standardize psychosocial criteria for listing patients. This affords transplant centers the autonomy to develop their own psychosocial criteria for determining which patients will be placed on the transplant waiting list. This lack of a standardized policy has resulted in inconsistent psychosocial practices amongst transplant centers nationwide. Since there has been no formal review of the inconsistency in psychosocial policy and practice, this paper seeks to explore the non-standardized psychosocial approach to organ transplant listing. The authors review factors that are relevant to the standardization of the psychosocial decision-making process, including shared decision-making, clinician judgment, bias in decision-making and moral distress in transplant staff. We conclude with a discussion about the impact of these issues on psychosocial practices in solid organ transplantation.
Molecular mechanisms of cardiovascular benefits of exercise: Running for cover from heart disease
Authors: Hassan Mohamed , Aguib Yasmine , Yacoub Magdi
Published: December 2016

The benefits of exercise have been recognized since ancient times. Physically active men and women have an approximately 30% lower risk of death compared with inactive people. Several trials have recently shown the favorable impact of exercise on survival and quality of life. In the PARIS study, four months of endurance exercise training in elderly patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction caused a significant improvement in peak exercise capacity. Moreover in the Copenhagen City Heart Study, jogging up to 2.5 h per week at a slow or average pace and a frequency of 3 times per week was associated with a significant increase in survival (6.2 years in men and 5.6 years in women). These findings imply that exercise improves peripheral vascular, microvascular, and/or skeletal muscle functions and causes an increase in oxygen transport and utilization by the active skeletal muscle.1 However, the exact molecular mechanisms of the cardiovascular benefits of exercise remained largely unknown until very recently. Two recent reports serve to shed some light on the potential role for irisin and miRNA-222 in this subject.
A global perspective of lung transplantation: Part 1 - Recipient selection and choice of procedure
Authors: Girgis Reda E. , Khaghani Asghar
Published: December 2016

Lung transplantation has grown considerably in recent years and its availability has spread to an expanding number of countries worldwide. Importantly, survival has also steadily improved, making this an increasingly viable procedure for patients with end-stage lung disease and limited life expectancy. In this first of a series of articles, recipient selection and type of transplant operation are reviewed. Pulmonary fibrotic disorders are now the most indication in the U.S., followed by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and cystic fibrosis. Transplant centers have liberalized criteria to include older and more critically ill candidates. A careful, systematic, multi-disciplinary selection process is critical in identifying potential barriers that may increase risk and optimize long-term outcomes.
Identification of the faecal indicator Escherichia coli in wastewater through the β-D-glucuronidase activity: comparison between two enumeration methods, membrane filtration with TBX agar, and Colilert®-18
Authors: Vergine P. , Salerno C. , Barca E. , Berardi G. , Pollice A.
Published: December 2016

Escherichia coli (E. coli) is one of the most commonly adopted indicators for the determination of the microbiological quality in water and treated wastewater. Two main types of methods are used for the enumeration of this faecal indicator: membrane filtration (MF) and enzyme substrate tests. For both types, several substrates based on the β-D-glucuronidase activity have been commercialized. The specificity of this enzyme for E. coli bacteria has generated considerable use of methods that identify the β-D-glucuronidase activity as a definite indication of the presence of E. coli, without any further confirmation. This approach has been recently questioned for the application to wastewater. The present study compares two methods belonging to the above-mentioned types for the enumeration of E. coli in wastewater: MF with Tryptone Bile X-glucuronide agar and the Colilert®-18 test. Confirmation tests showed low average percentages of false positives and false negatives for both enumeration methods (between 4 and 11%). Moreover, the counting capabilities of these two methods were compared for a set of 70 samples of wastewater having different origins and degrees of treatment. Statistical analysis showed that the Colilert®-18 test allowed on average for a significantly higher recovery of E. coli.
Pharmacological Management of Post-thoracotomy Pain
Authors: Ee Chin Joel Wann , Valchanov Kamen
Published: December 2016

Thoracotomy is widely recognised as one of the most painful surgical procedures. The combination of extensive tissue dissection and dynamic respiratory movement postoperatively makes post-thoracotomy pain control particularly challenging. In the short term, inadequate analgesia is associated with respiratory complications, poor mobilisation, delayed discharge and respiratory infections. More importantly, poorly controlled postoperative pain is associated with developing chronic post-thoracotomy pain, also known as post-thoracotomy pain syndrome (PTPS). The reported incidence is between 25-60% and can be debilitating and difficult to treat. Increasing understanding of complex nociceptive pathways and neuropathic mechanisms has generated interest in the use of new therapeutic agents termed as adjuncts to post-operative opioid analgesia. In the area of thoracic surgery, the use of analgesic adjuncts has been subjected to a number of studies in recent years. In this article, we present a literature review of current treatment strategies for management of post-thoracotomy pain with evidence of effectiveness.

Management of Resistant, Atypical and Culture-negative Periprosthetic Joint Infections after Hip and Knee Arthroplasty
Authors: McLawhorn Alexander S. , Nawabi Danyal H. , Ranawat Amar S.
Published: December 2016

Background:

Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating complication following lower extremity total joint arthroplasty (TJA). It is a leading cause of morbidity and revision following TJA. As such, PJI is a significant driver of healthcare costs. The prevalence of PJI related to resistant and atypical organisms is increasing, and approximately 10-30% of PJIs are culture-negative. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current epidemiology, diagnostics, and management of PJI associated with resistant and atypical pathogens and of culture-negative PJIs.

Methods:

The published literature related to the epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of atypical, drug-resistant, and culture-negative PJI is reviewed.

Results:

The clinical diagnosis of PJI is often challenging, particularly when pathogens are fastidious or when antibiotics have been administered empirically. Molecular diagnostic studies, such as synovial α-defensin, may provide rapid, accurate identification of PJI, even in the setting of concurrent antibiotics administration or systemic inflammatory disease. Once PJI is diagnosed, two-stage exchange arthroplasty remains the gold standard for treating PJI with resistant microorganisms, since there is a high rate of treatment failure with irrigation and debridement and with one-stage exchange arthroplasty.

Conclusion:

Additional research is needed to define the optimal treatment of PJIs associated with rare pathogens, such as fungi and mycobacteria. There is a need for inexpensive, reliable tests that rapidly detect specific microbial species and antimicrobial susceptibilities. Additional research is also required to define the specific organisms, clinical scenarios, surgical techniques, and antimicrobial regimens that allow for reproducible treatment success with prosthetic retention strategies.
Priming Younger and Older Adults’ Sentence Comprehension: Insights from Dynamic Emotional Facial Expressions and Pupil Size Measures
Authors: Carminati Maria Nella , Knoeferle Pia
Published: December 2016

Background:

Prior visual-world research has demonstrated that emotional priming of spoken sentence processing is rapidly modulated by age. Older and younger participants saw two photographs of a positive and of a negative event side-by-side and listened to a spoken sentence about one of these events. Older adults’ fixations to the mentioned (positive) event were enhanced when the still photograph of a previously-inspected positive-valence speaker face was (vs. wasn’t) emotionally congruent with the event/sentence. By contrast, the younger adults exhibited such an enhancement with negative stimuli only.

Objective:

The first aim of the current study was to assess the replicability of these findings with dynamic face stimuli (unfolding from neutral to happy or sad). A second goal was to assess a key prediction made by socio-emotional selectivity theory,viz. that the positivity effect (a preference for positive information) displayed by older adults involves cognitive effort.

Method:

We conducted an eye-tracking visual-world experiment.

Results:

Most priming and age effects, including the positivity effects, replicated. However, against our expectations, the positive gaze preference in older adults did not co-vary with a standard measure of cognitive effort - increased pupil dilation. Instead, pupil size was significantly bigger when (both younger and older) adults processed negative than positive stimuli.

Conclusion:

These findings are in line with previous research on the relationship between positive gaze preferences and pupil dilation. We discuss both theoretical and methodological implications of these results.

Koszty inwestycyjne i eksploatacyjne stosowania pomp ciepła w budownictwie
Authors: Wasilczuk Jarosław , Sobiech Marian
Published: December 2016

W referacie opisano problematykę dotyczącą źródeł ciepła stosowanych do ogrzewania budynków. Celem pracy jest analiza różnych rozwiązań źródeł ciepła, o mocy cieplnej źródła 150 kW, w kontekście nakładów inwestycyjnych i kosz- tów eksploatacji. Analiza obejmuje rozwiązania instalacyjne oparte na źródłach ciepła z kotłami kondensacyjnymi opala- nymi gazem ziemnym lub olejem opałowym, pompy ciepła, a także, jako kombinacje tych urządzeń, hybrydowe rozwią- zanie źródła ciepła. Ocena poszczególnych, technicznych rozwiązań źródeł ciepła przeprowadzona została za pomocą porównania kosztów inwestycyjnych i eksploatacyjnych poprzez obliczenie wskaźnika Simple Pay Back Time (SPBT). W ocenie nie uwzględniano kosztów dotyczących projektowania, montażu instalacji do ogrzewania budynku oraz insta- lacji związanej z przygotowaniem ciepłej wody użytkowej. Koszty inwestycyjne uwzględniono tylko w odniesieniu do urządzeń i wyposażenia samego źródła ciepła o wydajności cieplnej odpowiadającej mocy 150 kW. Koszty eksploatacji odniesiono do zużywanej energii elektrycznej i wytwarzanej energii cieplnej. Analiza pozwala na sformułowanie wnio- sku, że rodzaj źródła ciepła, jaki należy zastosować w danym budynku, wiąże się z jego eksploatacją i przeznaczeniem. Istotne są również, oprócz czynnika ekonomicznego, możliwości pozyskiwania paliwa do wytwarzania energii cieplnej, które wywierają wpływ na decyzję o rodzaju systemu grzewczego. Ostatecznie wybór źródła ciepła zależy od możliwości technicznych pozyskania energii cieplnej, a przyjęte rozwiązanie wymaga wsparcia analizą ekonomiczną. W kontekście ekonomicznym spalanie drewna jest najbardziej opłacalnym sposobem, a w przypadku spalania gazu ziemnego, jeśli jest dostępny, najlepsze źródło ciepła – to gazowy kocioł kondensacyjny, gdy zaś porównamy kocioł olejowy, to zastosowana pompa ciepła zwraca się po upływie 4 lat. Ostatecznie, wybór źródła ciepła wymaga analizy ekonomicznej, oceny aspek- tów ochrony środowiska, dostępu do paliwa i sposobu eksploatacji budynku.

The research islocated in Eastern Malaysia and East Lombok Regency by using case study method to explore theobjects deeply, detailed and complete. Data were collected through observation and in-depth interviewwith the migrant workers and PADMI. The research showed that Ringgit or Malaysian currencycontribute significant influence to the migrant workers’ behavior, which showed by the change of theirfashion style, pattern of consumption, increasing entertainment needs and also the augmentation ofconsumptive life style. The consumptive life style is a new reality and relatively common, while to fulfillsexual needs the workers opted to marry the other female migrant workers because it was consideredmore save, more economical and also could prevent them from the contamination of sexual disease.At the other side, PADMI has not only principal role in fulfilling the family life needs but also mustattempt to maintain the completeness and harmony of the family/household. The inclination of havingseductive and sexual discomfiture from the other man is experienced often by PADMI, and sometimescould be ended in court. Without considering the economic impact, the high number of sued divorce inhometown of migrant workers gave evidence that migration activity ruin the family life of the migrantworkers.

During revolution era, Indonesian government used and traded opium for struggle funds. This decisionwas based on the fact that the social, economic and financial was shattered due to Japanese occupation.Whereas the government should provide substantial funds to pay the war operations, employeesalaries and soldiers, buy weapons of war, and pay representatives abroad. This paper constitutesas the result of historical studies, that is why it uses historical method and methodologies. Historicalmethod constitutes as a historian guidelines to find historical documents. Historian is like “handyman”who collects historical sources such as archives and documents in “warehouses” archives and libraries.When written sources are considered as not enough, then those will be held interviews with historicalactors involved directly or indirectly to the problem under study. Historical method constitutes aworks of historian from processing facts, explanations to the reconstruction of the results under study.Methodology provides the framework of thinking as historian, that is why, it needs to pay attentionto the concepts and theories in preparing the events of the past. This study is based on the methodfrom Ernst Bernheim, that are heuristic, criticism, auffassung and darstellung. Indonesian governmentfully managed and controlled the opium trade and circulation in Java. The management was led bythe Vice President Office assisted by two ministries, namely the Ministry of Finance and Ministry ofDefence Quartermaster Section. Under those two ministries, there was the Mayor Administrative Officeof Opium and Salt in Surakarta which coordinated major offices in several cities, especially in Kediriand Yogyakarta. The Administrative Office of Opium and Salt in Kediri stored raw opium. Then, rawopium was sent to processing factory in Wonosari and Beji Klaten. The cooked opium was sent to TheAdministrative Office of Opium and Drug in Yogyakarta or The Mayor Administrative Office of Opiumand Salt in Surakarta. This office in Surakarta authorized to issue raw opium to the struggle agencies tobe sold to the territory of republic, occupied Netherlands area or smuggled abroad.

Published: December 2016

Agroforestry systems (AFS) are emerged to adapt with farmers needs, balancing economic andecological conditions. In recent years, however, there has been shifting from ecology to economy, wheretraditional silviculture emphasizes toward more monoculture with high inputs. This condition willresult in decreasing ecological function of AFS as one of the epitomes of sustainable. This research aimsto know the role of traditional silviculture techniques practiced by farmers and to develop knowledgein AFS management as the basis to compose more productive and sustainable management. Thestudy was conducted in Menoreh mountains, Yogyakarta. There zones based on altitude differenceswere distinguished, namely lowlands (<300 meter above sea level, masl), medium (300-600 masl) andhigh (> 600 masl). Data collecting was done by conducting deep interviews from 46 respondents, whowere chosen randomly in each zone. The data included local knowledge practices, space dynamic andmanagement, traditional silviculture, and orientation of AFS management. The analysis itself was donedescriptively which was integrated through diagnosis approach and design in agroforestry systems.There are there models of AFS management based on there strata of space utilization both in homegardenand dry field, namely initial, intermediate and advanced agroforestry. In the lowland zone is initialagroforestry practicw, characterized by food production orientation. In the middle and upper zone areintermediate and advanced Based on this findings, aproductive and sustainable adaptive silviculture(AS) scheme for AFS management (AS AFS) is required, AS AFS_1 is oriented to keep agroforetybeing able to continualy produce food and its derivatis throughout the management. Intensive spacearrangements and resources sharing silvicuculture measures are important instruments in this model.The second model, AS AFS_2 is for productive intermediate and advanced agroforestry with multilayerproductions. It is suggested in this model to do intensive enrichment planting using tolerant species andcompatible management approach of inter unit lands owned by farmers.

This study is aimed at explain the dynamic process in the development of ecotourism in Bali. Its objectivesare 1) to identify and analyze typologies of ecotourism in Bali, 2) to analyze each type of ecotourism, focusingon the aspects of ecotourism products, local community involvement, and its development strategy, and 3) toanalyze and formulate appropriate model of ecotourism development in Bali. This is a descritive qualitativeresearch with relevant data acquisition techniques, namely (a) in-depth interview, (b) field observation,(c) Focus Group Discussion(FGD), and (d) document studies. The four methods were used to capture theneeds of data in the field, in accordance with scope of the problem investigated and research objectives. Thisstudy found that ecotourism typology in Bali, in terms of its main moving actors (agent of change),is divided into three, namely: (1) investor-driven ecotourism (investor type), (2) community-drivenecotourism (community type), and (3) government-driven ecotourism (government type). This threetypeecotourism in Bali is also known as tri ning tri. In practice, each type of ecotourism has different levelof conformity with ecotourism principles (TIES, 2000), so that they can be categorized into three groups,which are major (utama), intermediate (madya) and contemptible (nista). Some particular Balinese lifestances such as rwa bhineda (dualism), paduwen sareng (common ownership), dan nempahang rage (selfdevotion) enable the different types of ecotourism to live and develop side by side harmonically inBali, without negating each other. Through observation in the micro level, this study found that thecharacteristic of each type tends to shift into hybrid type due to, among others, close interaction withdifferent kinds of stake holders. This also means that the type of ecotourism developed in a village, forexample, will most likely to be modified or improvised in such a way to accommodate the availableresource potency and characteristic of stakeholders involved on its development or management. Theability to manage all forms of ecotourism, which mainly come from outside of Bali, is then combined byBalinese with their life stance of rwa bhineda. Therefore, any ecotourism type or model that comes into,enters and develops in Bali, eventually transforms into a new type of ecotourism.

Indonesian national food sovereignty is very dependent on the supply of rice from paddy fields in Java Island. Various factors influence the farmer’s decision to continue using his farm. This study aims to analyze the sustainable use of paddy field, determinant factors and strategies for improving sustainability. The study was conducted in Karawang Regency, one of the centers of rice production in West Java. The methodology used is a multi-dimensional scaling (MDS) using 43 attributes of 5 dimensions (ecological, social, economical, technological and legal and institutional dimension). Against the sensitive attribute analysis resulting from MDS, a prospective analysis was conducted to determine the key factors of sustainability. Priority policies for improving sustainability are developed based on the location of the key factors in the prospective diagram. The research results showed that the land utilization for paddy field in Karawang is actually less sustainable. Increasing the sustainability can be done through intervention and improving performance, preferably on sensitive attributes resulting from leverage analysis, covering 16 attributes. Priority policies is directed in the 5 key factors resulting from prospective analysis. Policies suggested are the tightening of new permits for building, strict implementation of the official spatial land use planning and delineation of agricultural land for sustainable food crops, counseling the community, revitalizing the role of BULOG, provision of subsidies as well as capital assistance to farmers.

During the 1996 to 1997, large areas of mangrove forest in the Segara Anakan were cleared and converted into intensive shrimp-ponds. After one to two years, these shrimp-ponds failed and were abandoned. These abandoned ponds created large gap areas and canopy gaps, which were colonized by mangrove shrub and liana. The Segara Anakan mangrove also experienced heavy siltation, and there were tree cuttings from the remnant of the mangrove trees. This research aimed to study the colonization of mangrove vegetation at the abandoned-shrimp pond. Vegetation data were collected using rectangular plots of 25 m x 25 m with 4 replicates. The water qualities were also studied. The results revealed that the mangrove forests were composed of two layers: canopy tree and floor-vegetation. The gap areas triggered the pioneer species of mangrove shrubs and liana, Acanthus ilicifolius and Derris heterophylla, to colonize and dominate 100% of the mangrove forest floor. The mangrove trees consisted of natural and planted tree species. The natural trees were Sonneratia alba, Avicennia alba, and saplings of Aegiceras corniculatum, which  varied between 56 – 136, 4, and 4 individuals per ha, respectively. The planted trees were Rhizophora apiculata, which amounted to 4 – 12 individuals per ha, at the island of the ponds. These trees and saplings were entangled by the liana mangrove, which disturbed their growth. The A. ilicifolius and D. heterophylla prevented the mangrove tree propagules to grow, and they colonized and characterized those abandoned shrimp-ponds, which threatened the Segara Anakan mangrove ecosystem.

A democratização da gestão pública no Brasil tem criado novas configurações institucionais, que representam conquistas importantes na construção de formas de governar mais próximas dos interesses e das necessidades da população. No entanto, esses fóruns têm reproduzido e reforçado a fragmentação no modo de fazer gestão pública, organizando em setores o acolhimento de demandas sociais e a produção de respostas institucionais, muitas vezes concorrentes ou sobrepostas. Esseartigo analisa dois documentos apresentados em eventos internacionais - a Carta de Ottawa para a Promoção da Saúde e a Agenda 21 - que propõem: a) uma visão integral do ser humano e de seu entorno no planejamento de estratégias e ações de caráter e interesse coletivo; b) processosparticipativos de decisão, reforçando a necessidade de consensos entre todos os atores sociais incluindo governo, empresas, ONGs e a população em geral sobre as prioridades e os investimentos públicos, visando sempre a melhoria das condições de vida e a equidade social; c) a intersetorialidade, através de redes e projetos integrados que possam incluir tanto pontos de vista diferentes, quanto recursos diversificados, otimizando e potencializando a intervenção sobre problemas complexos. A democratização dos processos de gestão, garantindo-se o debate sobre sentido, conteúdo e direção das políticas públicas, requer ressignificação de espaços, papéis e relações, em todos os níveis de decisão, de produção e de sustentação de políticas e de estratégias, que podem ser favoráveis à construção social de condições e ambientes saudáveis e sustentáveis.
