Published: June 2024

This current study investigates the turbulence response in a flow accelerated from laminar to a statistically steady turbulent flow utilising Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and Constant Temperature Anemometry (CTA). The dimensions of the rectangular flow facility are 8 m in length, 0.35 m in width, and 0.05 m in height. The flow is increased via the pneumatic control valve from a laminar to a statistically steady turbulent flow, and the laminar-turbulent transition is examined. As the flow accelerates to turbulent from laminar, the friction coefficient increases quickly and approaches its maximum value within a short period. As a result, a boundary layer forms extremely near to the wall, increasing the velocity gradient and viscous force. The friction coefficient and viscous force decrease with increasing boundary layer thickness, and transition occurs as a result of instability of the boundary layer. The friction coefficient is used to specify the beginning and end of the transition. The transition starts when the friction coefficient reaches its minimal value. It increases again, and its maximum value marks the end of the transition to turbulence. The study shows that three stages lead to turbulence near the wall when the flow is accelerated from laminar to turbulent. These phases are similar to the transient turbulent flow reported. The reaction of mean velocity as laminar flow is accelerated to turbulent flow is investigated. The mean velocity behaves like a "plug flow" when the flow accelerates from laminar to turbulent, meaning that everywhere in the flow zone, except for the position extremely near the wall, the flow behaves like a solid body. The changes in the channel flow that accelerates from a laminar to a turbulent condition are presented, together with the turbulence statistics, wall shear stress, bulk velocity, and friction coefficient. Like the boundary layer bypass transition and transient turbulent flows, the transition to turbulence follows a similar process.

Background: Avian influenza poses a significant risk to communities as it impacts birds and results in a high mortality rate and global economic losses of up to 89%. This study aimed to assess the seroprevalence of the H5, H7 and H9 strain of AIV between the years2017 to 2020 in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Methods: 650 blood samples from broiler birds were collected from five (Dera Ismail Khan, Tank, Abbottabad, Mansehra, and Peshawar) different ecological zones of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Initial screening was done using the HA and HI tests. H9 samples were further confirmed using PCR. Results: Overall seroprevalence of avian influenza virus subtypes H5, H7, and H9 was 22.43%, 5.384%, and 25.23%, respectively. Maximum seroprevalence was reported in DIK district, followed by Abbottabad, Peshawar, Mansehra, and Tank. A phylogenic study of H9 samples depicted H9 strains clustering closer to previously reported Pakistan-originated strains. Overall, the AIV H9N2 strain under study showed 10-12% genomic distance to strains of B1 sub lineages reported from Pakistan, India, and Iran. Similarly, a 12.9 17% genomic distance was observed between viruses of the G1_Mideast_Group A lineage, followed by 19–22.5% between viruses of the Y9280-like lineage and 24-28% between viruses of the Y439/97-like lineage. Conclusion: The current research region had an epidemic of avian influenza. Therefore, it is crucial to isolate infected birds in order to prevent and control the further spread of the disease.

Background: Milk is very nutrient-dense. However, milk is readily contaminated during production, processing, and storage, endangering the health of users. The identification of dangerous chemicals in milk is crucial. The present study aimed to highlight the problem of milk pollution by observing milk samples at district Dera Ismail Khan. Materials and Methods: To achieve the objective, a total of 60 milk samples were gathered by stratifying the district into two distinct geographical distributions: within the city and beyond the city boundaries, based on population density. Different analytical techniques were used for the quick detection of dangerous chemicals or the targeted verification of milk validity. Results: According to quantitative data, the average levels of fat, lactose, added water, temperature, freezing point, pH, and conductivity of the milk are statistically the same (p > 0.05). However, the average content of SNF, density, salts, and protein are statistically different (p <0.05). The qualitative findings revealed the presence of sodium chloride and sorbitol in minimal quantities, while a majority of the samples exhibited adulteration with formalin. Conclusion: The study's findings led to the conclusion that milk sold both within and outside of the region of D.I. Khan had been adulterated with sodium chloride, sorbitol, and formalin to produce distinctive hues. Control and elimination of this problem may require the application of efficient preventative measures and mitigating strategies.

Published: June 2024

In the context of agricultural development, economic growth, and food security in Africa, examining the practice of land exchange holds significant relevance. This study analyses the practice of land exchange and its effect on farmers' performance in Norther Eastern Zone of Nigeria. A multi-stage sampling procedure was employed to select a sample of 400 rice farmers engaged in irrigation farming. The selected farmers participated in structured interviews, providing the necessary data for the study. Descriptive analysis (of the mean) revealed that farmers are engaged in land exchange (16.07%) using two methods: land exchange for agricultural use (or farming purposes) and land exchange for property. Using a logistic regression model, it was found that number of plots, decrease in distance among plots, practice of mechanization, decrease in production costs, and improvement of efficiency were factors influencing farmers to exchange land. The result also suggested that farmers exhibited a high level of technical efficiency, implying that there is room for further enhancement in efficiency through the adoption of advanced technologies and the optimal utilization of existing resources. The beta regression's results indicated that land development have a negative effect on technical efficiency, while household size, rented land, and hired labor have positive effects. However, it was found that the practice of land exchange did not affect the level of technical efficiency of rice farmers in the study area, because of the observed limited land market and the high level of crop diversification. Hence, policymakers are advised to define land use rights explicitly and encourage land transactions, such as renting among farmers, selling occupancy rights, and transferring leasehold rights. These measures aim to improve land efficiency and bolster the land market.

Published: June 2024

Antecedentes/objetivo: Legalmente se ha proporcionado a los juzgados, como herramienta para evitar la revictimización en casos de violencia de género, la adopción de medidas de protección y asistenciales a víctimas. Sin embargo, los estudios acerca de su eficacia son inconcluyentes, encontrándose efectos no significativos o de tamaño pequeño. Ahora bien, los efectos sobre los daños psicológicos (victimización) no han sido igualmente estudiados. Se diseñó un estudio de campo para conocer los efectos de estas medidas judiciales, así como de la propia denuncia judicial en el bienestar psicológico de las víctimas. Método: Participaron 136 mujeres residentes en Ecuador, que habían concluido un proceso judicial por violencia de género y que respondieron a un listado sobre la aplicación de 17 medidas de protección y asistenciales recogidas en el ordenamiento jurídico ecuatoriano. Además, se les administró el SCL 90-R para conocer el bienestar psicológico en dos condiciones temporales: medida pre- y post-proceso judicial. Resultados: Los resultados advirtieron que sólo 6 de las 9 medidas de protección se aplicaron de forma productiva, en tanto que las medidas asistenciales sólo se implementaron de modo trivial (insignificante). Sobre los efectos en el bienestar, los resultados revelaron un efecto significativo para el proceso judicial (denuncia), pero no así para la implementación de medidas de protección, asistenciales, ni para la interacción entre el proceso judicial y la implementación de medidas de protección y asistenciales. Los efectos del factor proceso judicial fueron positivos (mejoría), significativos y de una magnitud grande (d ≥ 0.80) en somatización, obsesivo-compulsivo, sensibilidad interpersonal, depresión, ansiedad generalizada, ansiedad fóbica e ideación paranoide; y con un tamaño del efecto entre moderado y grande (0.50 ≤ d < 0.80) en las dimensiones hostilidad y psicoticismo. Conclusiones: Se discuten las implicaciones de la falta de efecto de la implementación de medidas de protección y asistenciales en el bienestar psicológico, así como los efectos positivos del proceso judicial (denuncia, confrontación con el maltratador) en el bienestar de las denunciantes-víctimas.

Published: June 2024

Modal kerja adalah modal yang bergerak seiring dengan aktivitas bisnis. Efekivitas menggunakan modal kerja dapat diukur dari tingkat perputarannya selama periode tertentu. Rasio profitabilitas digunakan untuk mengukur kemampuan suatu perusahaan dalam menghasilkan laba. Diharapkan rasio ini dapat menggambarkan beberapa penilaian yang seharusnya menjadi patokan bagi perusahaan saat menjalankan bisnisnya. Peneliti menggunakan pendekatan rasio keuangan untuk menganalisis data dari laporan keuangan PT. Medan Cahaya Sejati tahun 2020 dan 2021. Data ini kemudian dianalisis dengan menggunakan dasar teoritis yang ada. Adapun hasil dari penelitian ini menemukan bahwa modal kerja meningkat, tetapi tingkat perputaran turun, sehingga rasio profitabilitas yang dihasilkan turun, tetapi tidak signifikan. Peningkatan penjualan dibandingkan dengan laba bersih yang diperoleh menyebabkan penurunan net profit margin. Penurunan laba bersih, diikuti oleh peningkatan total aset, mengurangi return on investment (ROI). Tingkat pengembalian aktiva yang lebih rendah juga menyebabkan penurunan ROE.
Intra and interspecies control of bacterial growth through extracellular extracts
Authors: Howe Bailey , Estrella Michael
Published: June 2024

A variety of bacterial species colonize the human body, many of which reside in the gut microbiome. The disruption of the gut microbiome is linked to several digestive issues and chronic health conditions, such as obesity, Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) infections and colorectal cancer. Bacteria utilize extracellular quorum sensing molecules to communicate, which impacts bacterial growth, resistance to antibiotics, and differential expression of genes. Influence and control over these systems is of clinical importance in treating bacterial infections, such as by modifying a patient’s gut microbiome. This study measured the impact of bacteria-free supernatants collected from Escherichia coli (E. coli), samples from the bacterial environments likely containing quorum sensors, in the death and log phases on the growth of new cultures of E. coli and Enterobacter aerogenes (E. aerogenes). Exposure to E. coli death phase clarified supernatant inhibited E. coli growth by 21.41% - 81.24% and E. aerogenes growth by 19.43% - 58.62%. While E. coli log phase clarified supernatant induced E. coli growth by 15.08% - 52.61% and E. aerogenes growth by 29.93% - 107.52%. A combination of these supernatants could potentially be used to fine-tune population sizes of bacteria in the gut microbiome, rebalancing an altered gut microbiome. Future experiments could characterize the macromolecules within the clarified supernatants, explore their degradation pathways, and how they interact with each other.
Spinal anesthesia in a scoliosis patient: a case report
Authors: Gunadi Andre Fernando , Putra Aria Bisma Maresa , Maulana Irsyan Baginda , Cahyo Iqbal Dwi , Farid Muhammad
Published: June 2024

Background: Scoliosis is a spinal deformity that exceeds a curve of 10 degrees identified at an early age (10 to 16 years old). Neuromuscular scoliosis is associated with a heterogeneous spectrum of muscular or neurological symptoms. Thus it is challenging to give a patient neuraxial/spinal anesthesia treatment before the surgery as it can alter the respiratory mechanism by changing the muscle orientation in the respiratory system. Objectives: This paper reported a challenging case of thoracolumbar scoliosis presenting with osteomyelitis requiring sequestrectomy after the patient had a motorbike accident. Case: The patient had a previous history of difficult spinal anesthesia. Fortunately, it only took one attempt to do the spinal anesthesia for the recent surgery. Conclusion: This report emphasizes the need for anesthesiologists to evaluate the cardiopulmonary functions and radiology features of the spine and anesthesia techniques to provide safe and efficient treatment in such a patient.

Background: Cholecystectomy is a gold standard approach for the treatment of cholelithiasis. The efficacy of this treatment varies considerably, with morbidity and hospital stay depending on the country and hospital. Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of diabetes mellitus as a comorbid factor on morbidity rate and length of stay following cholecystectomy at Dr. Ramelan Naval Hospital, Surabaya between June 2019 and September 2020. Materials and Methods: This study used a descriptive analytical design with a retrospective approach. The total sampling technique was employed to determine the number of samples required. A total of 201 cases of gallstone disease were observed at Dr. Ramelan Naval Hospital, Surabaya between June 2019 and September 2020. However, a sample of 146 cases met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The secondary data were collected from the medical records of the patients. The data were analyzed using SPSS 25 (IBM, US). Results: The contingency coefficient test revealed a correlation between diabetes as a comorbid factor and disease incidence (p = 0.019). In addition, the results suggested a correlation between diabetes as a comorbid factor and length of hospital stay (p = 0.034). Conclusion:  The findings indicated that comorbidities such as diabetes were associated with morbidity rate and length of hospital stay in patients undergoing cholecystectomy.

Published: June 2024

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative disease with both motor and non-motor symptoms. It has been postulated that dysbiosis and gut infections may have metabolic consequences that go unchecked and exacerbate the neurodegenerative process or peripheral inflammation in PD. Objective: This meta-analysis aims to elucidate the potential benefits of of probiotics as supplemental therapy for PD. Materials and Method: PRISMA 2020 was used for literature search. Multiple databases, such as PubMed, Science Direct, and CINAHL Plus, as well as Full Text, Sage Journals, and Web of Science, and clinical registries were investigated. The quality assessment and statistical analysis were conducted using the Jadad scale and the Review Manager software version 5.4.1. Results: Ten randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included in this systematic review, six of which were quantitative studies. The results indicated that probiotic treatment significantly improved cognitive function based on the MMSE (mean difference [MD] = 0.4, 95% CI [-0.17, 0.97], I2 = 0%). Probiotic treatment also improved gastrointestinal symptoms as evidenced by the Bristol stool score (MD = 0.28, 95% CI [-0.40, 0.97], I2 = 93%) and the bowel movement score (MD = 1.25, 95% CI [0.74, 1.75], I2 = 0%). Significant effects were observed in the depression scale and quality of life, including the Patient Assessment of Constipation Quality of Life (PACQoL) and the Parkinson’s Disease Questionnaire (PDQ39). Conclusion:  Probiotic supplementation significantly improved disease progression, gastrointestinal effects, mental health, and quality of life in patients with PD. This improvement may be attributed to a reduction in the inflammatory response and an increase in the activity of gut-brain axis.
Overview of visual acuity improvement in postoperative cataract patients using a monofocal lens and phacoemulsification techniques
Authors: Fortunata Felicia , Firmansjah Muhammad
Published: June 2024

Background: In Indonesia, one of the leading causes of blindness is cataract. Phacoemulsification is a surgical procedure that uses ultrasound energy to break the lens into pieces, which are then removed through by a probe. The lens is replaced with an intraocular lens (IOL) of the appropriate size for each patient. Monofocal lenses are among the most common lens types, which offer a single-focus correction for distance vision. However, additional glasses are required for near distances. Objective:  to provide an overview of visual acuity improvement in postoperative cataract patients using monofocal lenses and phacoemulsification techniques. Materials and Methods: This study used an observational design and included postoperative cataract patients who underwent phacoemulsification with a monofocal lens at dr. Sjamsu Eye Clinic from September to November 2023. The data collected from the patients included their sex, age, operated eye, cataract type, and preoperative and postoperative visual acuity on days 1, 7, and 30. Results: A total 53 patients were evaluated. The majority of patients were female (57%) and between the ages of 60 and 69 years (43%). The preoperative visual acuity of the majority of patients was between <6/18 and <6/60 (60%). On day 30 post-surgery, the uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) of 87% of patients was good, while the UCVA of the remaining patients was moderate. Conclusion: The visual acuity improvement in postoperative cataract patients using a monofocal lens and phacoemulsification techniques yielded satisfactory outcomes and met the standards for visual acuity by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Latar Belakang: Penurunan fungsi dan kemampuan jaringan untuk memperbaiki diri seiring dengan pertambahan usia mengakibatkan munculnya gangguan psikologis, kemunduran fisik, mental, serta sosial ekonomi.  Salah satu kondisi yang sering dijumpai oleh lansia adalah nyeri lutut. Nyeri pada area lutut sering disertai dengan keluhan lutut terasa kaku, dan sulit digerakkan akibat nyeri sehingga lansia cenderung kesulitan dalam melakukan aktifitas sehari-hari. Tujuan Penelitian: Mengetahui derajat nyeri lutut sebelum dan sesudah diberikan pemberdayaan berupa edukasi dan gerak lansia. Metode: Kegiatan edukasi berupa penyuluhan terkait nyeri lutut dan praktik bersama gerak lansia pada masyarakat. Hasil: Dari 30 orang yang mengalami nyeri lutut, terdapat 10 orang mengalami penurunan dan 20 orang tidak mengalami perubahan skala nyeri yang diukur menggunakan skala VAS setelah dilakukannya edukasi dan praktik bersama gerak lansia sebanyak 1x dalam seminggu selama 2 minggu dengan 8x repetisi dan 2 set pada setiap gerakan. Lansia yang tidak mengalami perubahan skala nyeri disebabkan oleh adanya patologi lain seperti asam urat yang banyak dialami oleh masyarakat lansia. Faktor lain juga disebabkan oleh alat pengukuran yang bersifat subjektif sehingga interpretasi menjadi tidak terukur secara maksimal. Kesimpulan: Adanya penurunan intensitas nyeri yang diukur menggunakan skala vas dan peningkatan pengetahuan lansia dalam menangani nyeri lutut secara mandiri.

The mind is God's most valuable gift because it is with the mind that humans are said to be cultured creatures, and it is also the mind that leads humans to achieve the title of being dignified, superior and wise. A wise human being is a human being who is virtuous in acting, making decisions, and advising others. These things are done by paying attention to the welfare of everyone involved, not being subjective, selfish, or taking sides. Wise humans are usually also able to see and recognize patterns in certain situations before making decisions or acting. Moving on from human life which must adhere to the principles of wisdom, the principles of dharma made my intuition to package it into a form of creative percussion musical composition using the medium of Gong Kebyar gamelan with the title Wong Wodha which means a human who has intelligence, wisdom in the nature of a dignified and superior human being. Wong Wodha is quoted from the Kawi language with two syllables, namely wong and wodha, Wong which means human while Wodha means wisesan and wicaksana/wise. The creative method used in Wong Wodha's percussion creations is the method of Alma M. Hawkins which has several stages, namely: exploration, improvisation and forming. The creation of Wong Wodha's percussion work is divided into 4 parts, with the total duration of the work being 11 minutes. It is hoped that the realization of Wong Wodha's creative percussion work will increase the creativity of young artists in Bali to create a work that has the value of beauty and specialness in his creative percussion work.
