The environmental problems and solutions represent a priority for
scientific community. Water pollution with drugs is a contemporary problem, which
needs to be made aware of and solved by ecological means. Also, ecofriendly methods
of decontamination of polluted waters are a topic of study for students from natural
sciences. The present work proposes an eco-friendly method of filtering drug-polluted
water, which can be used in students' experimental laboratories related to environmental
protection. This paper presents the use of clay, micronized activated zeolite and
granular activated carbon as filters for the removal of drugs from wastewater. Using the
UV-VIS spectroscopy technique, the degree of decontamination of water polluted with
N-Acetyl cysteine is evaluated. The combination of the three filter materials is the most
efficient one having the greatest absorbance capacity of 71%. Students using these
methods, besides better understanding the chemical and physical notions related to the
experiment, will also learn about sustainability and environmental protection.

Deploying small macrocell base stations, hence called femtocells, enhances the level of service provided to consumers inside as well as outside. However, the effective management of user mobility poses a significant challenge in their implementation. This paper focuses extensively on this challenge, specifically emphasizing a critical aspect of mobility management: handovers. Regarding macrocell femtocell 5G A-LTE two-tier networks, the decision-making process during handovers holds paramount importance. This research classifies and thoroughly examines decision algorithms concerning handovers, considering factors such as the speed of user equipment, financial considerations, interference, and received signal strength. Nevertheless, a significant number of these described decision algorithms overlook crucial aspects. Firstly, they often fail to account for cell selection when employing a scenario with just one macrocell and numerous femtocells; a hybrid access policy is used. Secondly, a significant number of those methods do not take the retention parameter for the user equipment into account, resulting in an increased occurrence of unnecessary handovers. To address these shortcomings, we propose a sophisticated handover decision algorithm. This novel approach considers various factors, including the individual's speed, received signal strength, time spent there, and the femtocell base station's access policy. Comparing our suggested algorithm to traditional decision algorithms that are only based on simulation, data shows that our proposed approach significantly lowers the frequency of unwanted handovers on received signal strength in the 5G network to improve the Energy Efficiency of the network by over 85%.

Authors: Kuo Wei-Ting , Tsai Yi-Ting , Lin Chih-Yuan Lin , Yang Hsiang-Yu , Tsai Chien-Sung Tsai
Published: August 2024

Delayed surgical bleeding from the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) bed following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a rare yet potentially fatal condition that can lead to cardiac tamponade and life-threatening cardiogenic shock. We present a case of extremely delayed active bleeding from the LIMA bed, occurring 5 weeks after conventional CABG, resulting in cardiac tamponade and cardiogenic shock. The 73-year-old patient presented to the emergency room with a 2-day history of general weakness and hypotension. He had undergone CABG 5 weeks ago. Optimal inotropic agents and vasopressors were used for the treatment of shock. In the emergency room, real-time bedside echocardiography showed severe external compression of the right ventricle by a homogeneous, hyperechoic mass. Veno-arterial (V-A) mode extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was promptly instituted to stabilize hemodynamics. Subsequent chest re-exploration, involving blood clot evacuation, was performed, and the bleed from the distal LIMA bed was ligated. Delayed LIMA bed bleeding causing cardiac tamponade and cardiogenic shock is an infrequent occurrence, and the use of V-A mode ECMO successfully provided a window of time for chest exploration.
“In My Experience…15 Data Points To Better Evaluate Platelet Rich Plasma Kits And Protocols”
Authors: Buford Don , Sherman Nathan
Published: August 2024

Introduction

Platelet rich plasma (PRP) use in orthopedics is growing. Clinical research documenting effective outcomes for various conditions is fueling interest in PRP as a safe intervention for many soft tissue and joint pathologies in orthopedics. However, clinicians do not have a consistent means to evaluate PRP as a biologic drug and as a result interpreting clinical reports can be challenging. Additionally, clinicians often do not have the necessary information to fully evaluate PRP kits and protocols when deciding on how to best integrate this therapy into their practice.

Purpose

This paper defines 15 different metrics that can be used to quantify PRP and to compare PRP kits and protocols. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive framework that allows for the unbiased evaluation of PRP regardless of the kit or protocol used. By using these PRP metrics routinely, we can improve characterization PRP for research and clinical purposes.

We are presenting the adaptation and validation of a Positive Psychological Functioning scale in Spanish adolescents in a sample of 1,858 (M = 14.50 years, SD = 2.87 years), previously developed for adults (Merino & Privado, 2015b). The adaptation presents a hierarchical structure of one general factor and 11 of first order that suitably explain the data (GFI = 0.966, NFI = 0.966, SRMR = 0.053). The reliability (internal consistency and test-retest) is adequate. Evidence of convergent and discriminant validity of the test was found with other measures of subjective well-being, psychological well-being, positive and negative affect, and personality. The test has predictive validity on clinical symptoms (R2 = 0.17) and there are no differences in the measure based on sex and the period of adolescence considered (early, middle and late). Finally, scales for the sample evaluated are provided.

This study aims to analyze the impact of hedonism lifestyle on students' social relationships at SMA Negeri 4 Binjai. The hedonism lifestyle, which focuses on the search for pleasure and instant gratification through the consumption of luxury goods and participation in high-cost social activities, has become an increasingly common phenomenon among teenagers. This research used a qualitative approach with an analytical descriptive method, involving observation, interviews and documentation of students, subject teachers, counseling teachers and school principals. The results showed that the hedonism lifestyle has a significant impact on the dynamics of students' social relationships. Students who follow this lifestyle tend to form exclusive social groups based on economic status, which triggers feelings of injustice and jealousy among students. The hedonistic lifestyle distracts students from academic achievement and other positive activities, reduces the quality of more meaningful interpersonal relationships, and increases excessive consumptive behavior. The study also found that family economic conditions, the influence of social media, and the role of peers are the main factors that encourage the adoption of a hedonistic lifestyle among students. To overcome this negative impact, the study recommends improving character education programs in schools, the active role of parents in teaching wise economic values, as well as students' efforts in developing awareness of time management and priorities.

MÉTODOS ALTERNATIVOS DE SOLUÇÃO DE CONFLITOS E A SUA FUNÇÃO SOCIAL
Authors: BENITES Lincon Monteiro
Published: August 2024

O acesso à justiça não está interligado, necessariamente, ao acesso ao Poder Judiciário. O direito de acesso à justiça está garantido na Constituição de forma mais ampla, a abarcar uma demanda social complexa e urgente. No cenário atual e global, o grau de morosidade do Poder Judiciário pode ser constatado diante do acúmulo de processos e o formalismo exagerado às demandas judiciais, o que levaria à reflexão acerca do incentivo maior à pacificação social. Neste sentido, o Brasil se esforça ao atendimento dos anseios da sociedade, a qual se encontra frustrada com a ordem jurídica, injusta e ineficaz na resolução de conflitos, especialmente, pelo elevado tempo na tramitação dos processos. Para tanto, novas formas de acesso à justiça consolidam o desejo pela desjudicialização, com viés a maior qualidade na prestação jurisdicional e à eficiência dos resultados. Assim, este estudo visa cooperar com a nova conscientização, social e global, ao promover a análise dos métodos pacificadores e a sua capacidade de agilizar as demandas, de modo adequado, com a finalidade de tornar a máquina judiciária mais célere e mais acessível, com um olhar à função social dos meios consensuais.

Correlational research was used. Survey was designed as a method of data collection accompanied with questionnaire. Purposive sampling technique was employed to select the sample of the study (n=311, Male=150, Female=160). The Zarit 4-itenm Burden Interview, Rapid Caregiver Well-being Scale (R-CWBS), and Brief Reliance Scale were used as research instrument to measure the study variables. Findings of the study reveal that there is no significant relationship between caregivers’ burden and their psychological well-being. In addition, resilience is positively correlated with caregivers’ burden. Moreover, the results depict that there is no mediation effect of resilience on the relationship of caregivers’ burden and caregivers’ psychological well-being. Furthermore, female caregivers reported the greater level of caregiver burden as compared to male.  There is no statistically mean score difference on psychological well-being with respect to gender. Male caregivers were found with higher level of resilience than female. The mean scores differences on caregivers’ burden, caregivers’ psychological well-being and their level of resilience were found statistically significant with respect to participants’ marital status and job status.

Introduction: Hydrocephalus in children is a frequent reason for consultation. In CHD-Borgou of Benin, ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is our surgical strategy. The aim of this study was to describe the results of VP shunt performed during 30 months of neurosurgical practice and to report the evolution. Methods: It was a descriptive and transversal study concerning 53 children who underwent a VP shunt for hydrocephalus. The mean age was 20.37 SD 16.79 months and the sex ratio M/F= 1:2 (Male: 29; Female: 24). The shunts used were with mild pressure or flow of invariable opening. Results: The operative procedure was uneventful in 38 (71.7%) cases and we observed complications in 15 (28.3%) case. The complications due to infection were observed in 7 cases (13.2%) and mechanical failure in 8 cases (15.1%). Shunt migration in 5 cases, malposition in 1case, decreased drainage in 2 cases, meningitis in 1case, chronic fever in 5 cases and peritonitis in 1case. The blocked shunts were all revised. A cranial collapse was observed among 15 patients (34.1%). Mortality was 17% including 44.4% following an infection. Conclusion: Surgical management of hydrocephalus in children by VP shunt is a usual practice in CHD-Borgou and the results are satisfactory despite the complications observed. Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy must however be envisaged in a bid to reduce the rate of shunt-dependence. Key words: hydrocephalus, ventriculo-peritoneal shunt, complications.
