Authors: Rioza Balqis Ufairah , Yudhie Tanta  , Zulissetiana Eka Febri
Published: September 2024

Several previous research studies have shown that air pollution has broad impacts on human health, particularly in the cardiovascular field. Exposure to air pollution entering the respiratory system can trigger inflammatory responses and increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as coronary artery disease. This systematic review aim to determine the relationship between air pollution and the occurrence of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). Journal searches were conducted on five electronic databases, namely Pubmed, Science Direct, Europe PMC, Wiley Online Library, and Cochrane, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method. The search results get six original articles that meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria for analysis. Based on the results of the analysis shows that there is a significant relationship between air pollution in the form of gas components or particulate matter with the incidence of coronary artery disease. High levels of air pollution in an area can also increase the risk of CAD higher than areas with lower levels of air pollution.

Authors: Yuziani  , Virna Amelia Putri  , Teuku Yudhi Iqbal
Published: September 2024

Caesarean section is a surgical procedure to remove the fetus through an incision in the lining of the abdomen and uterus. Cesarean delivery is performed by considering clinical signs of the mother and fetus, such as placenta previa, abnormal location of the fetus, as well as different signs that may endanger the existence of the mother or embryo. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of cesarean deliveries has increased, which is directly relative to the increase in the contamination rate of surgical wound infection (ILO). Prophylactic antibiotics are one of the prevention of surgical wound infection. The research method used is retrospective descriptive. The sampling technique in this research uses non-probability sampling, namely total sampling. The aftereffects of this review show that the use of prophylactic antibiotics in caesarean section patients, namely ceftriaxone 51.2% and cefotaxime 48.8%, the use of prophylactic antibiotics at the Cut Meutia Aceh General Hospital based on ASHP, the use of antibiotics ceftriaxone, cefotaxime, and reponem is 100% inappropriate and based on PPRA RSU Cut Meutia which is 100% compliant. The aftereffects of this study presumed that the utilization of anti-toxins based on ASHP is not appropriate and based on PPRA Cut Meutia Hospital is appropriate.

This systematic review was conducted to investigate the impact of acupressure on anxiety levels among cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Comprehensive searches were performed in international electronic databases including Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science, as well as Iranian databases such as Iranmedex, from inception to February 1, 2024, utilizing keywords derived from Medical Subject Headings such as "acupressure", "anxiety", and "chemotherapy". The methodological quality of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-experimental studies was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute's critical appraisal checklist. A total of five studies, encompassing 401 cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, were included in the review. Among these patients, 83.26% were female, with 54.36% assigned to the intervention group. The mean age of participants was 51.01 (SD=8.52) years. Of the included studies, three were RCTs and two were quasi-experimental studies. The average study duration and follow-up period were approximately 31 weeks and 35 days, respectively. Moreover, the average duration of the intervention was 18 minutes. Across all studies, acupressure interventions demonstrated efficacy in reducing anxiety levels among cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. The findings suggest that healthcare professionals, particularly nurses, can effectively utilize acupressure techniques to alleviate anxiety in this patient population. It is recommended that healthcare managers and policymakers facilitate the integration of acupressure interventions into hospital settings, thereby enhancing the provision of care and support for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Determination of Water Quality Index of Drinking Water in Aligarh District, UP, India
Authors: Jeetendra Gautam  , Dr. Vikram Deep Varshney
Published: September 2024

Water is perhaps the most precious natural resource after air. Though the surface of the earth is mostly consists of water, only a small part of it is usable, which makes this resource very limited. This precious and limited resource, therefore, must be used with prudence. As water is required for different purposes, the suitability of it must be checked before use. Nowadays fresh water cannot be used directly for drinking purposes due to contamination and pollution. So treatment is used before it is used for drinking or for industrial processes. Also, sources of water must be monitored regularly to determine whether they are in sound health or not. Poor condition of water bodies are not only the indictor of environmental degradation, it is also a threat to the ecosystem. In industries, improper quality of water may cause hazards and severe economic loss. Thus, the quality of water is very important in both environmental and economic aspects. Thus, water quality analysis is essential for using it in any purpose. The quality of water depends upon its source of history. The history of water signifies the terrain through which water is flowing, its origin and most important the extent to which it is contaminated on its way by impurities, sediments and industrial waste. The solubilisation and fragmentation of the terrain through which it flows determines its quality. The extent of dissolved solid materials present in water decides its quality. Such quality is also decided by the solubility of the geological deposits, contact of water with sediments, time of interaction and special factors related to environment. To ascertain suitability of water for consumption, it is necessary to undertake examination of quality of water. . Major information on the quality of water is obtained by physical examination. considered in the present paper for calculating the WQI such as pH, Total alkalinity, Calcium, Magnesium, Chloride, Sulphate, Nitrate and also calculated the seasonal variations of physio- chemical parameters of water quality of Aligarh District.

Müminlerin Üstün Olduğu veya Olacağını Beyan Eden Âyetlerin Tahlili
Authors: Yüksel Mukadder Arif , Abdullah Abdulhalim
Published: September 2024

Âl-i İmrân Sûresi’nin “Gevşemeyin, üzülmeyin, inanıyorsanız üstün olan sizsiniz.” meâlindeki 139. âyette müminlere üstünlük verildiği anlaşılmakta ve Muhammed Sûresi’nin 35. âyetinde geçen “üstün olduğunuz halde” cümlesinde ise müminlerin üstün konumda olduğu belirtilmektedir. Bu âyetlerde zikredilen üstünlüğün mahiyeti izaha muhtaçtır. Zira bazı Müslümanlar bu gibi naslardan hareketle salih ameli gereksiz görebilmektedir. Oysa âyetlerde zikredilen üstünlüğün tefsirlerde hem sahih imanla hem de ciddi bir çalışma ile ileride elde edilecek zaferlerle ilişkilendirildiği ve farklı yorumlar yapıldığı görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada, konumuz olan âyette geçen (واَنْتُمُ الْاَعْلَوْنَ) “üstün olan sizsiniz” cümlesinin delalet ettiği anlamın açıklığa kavuşturulması ve müminlere verilen üstünlük payesinin mahiyetinin tespit edilmesi hedeflenmektedir. Çünkü Müslümanların, temel aldığı referansın mahiyetini bilmesi önem arz etmektedir. Müminlere verilen üstünlüğün mahiyeti; analiz ve yorumlama yöntemiyle açıklığa kavuşturulacaktır. Yaptığımız çalışmada üzerinde durduğumuz âyetlerin bağlamı dikkate alındığında “inanıyorsanız üstünsünüz” beyanıyla müminlerin teselli edildiği ve onlara değer verildiği, “siz üstün iken” beyanıyla da “galibiyet”e vurgu yapıldığı anlaşılmaktadır.
Kelam İlminde İllet-Ma’lûl İlişkisi/Nedensellik: Şerhü’l-Mevâkıf Örneği
Authors: Gün Faruk
Published: September 2024

Seyyid Şerif Cürcânî, Adudüddin el-Îcî’nin "el-Mevâkıf" adlı eseri üzerine yazdığı "Şerhu’l-Mevâkıf" adlı eserinde Allah, âlem ve insan arasındaki ilişkileri illet-ma’lûl (neden-sonuç) bağlamında felsefe ve kelâmı birleştiren özgün bir perspektif ile ele almaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, varlıkla ilgili önemli bir mesele olan illet-ma’lûl ilişkisini, Seyyid Şerif Cürcânî’nin "Şerhu’l-Mevâkıf" eseri üzerinden ele alarak, Cürcânî’nin bu alandaki katkılarını kısmen de olsa tespit etmektir. Araştırmada, veri toplama ve analiz etme yöntemleri kullanılmış, "Şerhu’l-Mevâkıf" temel kaynak olmak üzere, ilgili klasik eserler ve güncel çalışmalar başvuru kaynağı olarak kabul edilmiştir. Cürcânî, sebep-sonuç ilişkilerini açıklarken, varlıkların, yoklukların, hareketlerin ve olayların nedenlerini Allah'ın sıfatları ve özellikleri üzerinden değerlendirir. Cürcânî, bu bağlamda Allah'ın evrenin hem yaratıcısı ve hem de sürdürücüsü olduğunu, dolayısıyla sebeplerin de her an O'nun iradesi ve ilmiyle işlediğini savunur. Cürcânî'nin düşüncesinde Aristoteles'in nedensellik anlayışından farklı olarak Allah’ın mutlak iradesi ve hikmeti çerçevesinde şekillenen İslamî teoloji ve metafiziğin etkisi açıkça görülmektedir.

Published: September 2024

Plasticizers play an important role in the rubber industry to facilitate the dispersion of additives into rubber. This research aims to study the effect of plasticizer mixing sequence on vulcanization kinetics. This relates to its effect on printing time and energy, as well as the cost of electricity used. Compound A was made by adding plasticizer at the mastication stage and compound B was made by adding plasticizer at the masterbatch stage. Kinetic parameters were determined using Deng-Isayev and Kamal-Sorour models. The results show that the Deng-Isayev model is closer to the experimental data than the Kamal-Sorour model. Compound A has a k value (3.0635x10-6 sec-1) and cure index (0.8403) slightly lower than compound B with a k value 3.3511x10-6 sec-1 and cure index 0.9260. However, the mixing order of the plasticizers did not significantly affect the vulcanization performance, either the reaction speed constant, reaction order, induction time, optimal vulcanization time, and cure index.

En la primera, asocio la excepcional riqueza en especies (megadiversidad) que se encuentra en México en varios grupos de animales, con el hecho de que todo México esté dentro de la Zona de Transición Mexicana (ZTM) y el doble aporte faunístico que esto representa. Muy recientemente se han publicado revisiones analíticas de la teoría de la ZTM, así como ejemplos de su composición faunística (existe un impresionante acumulo de alrededor de 600 citas bibliográficas). Sin embargo, no tengo noticia de ningún trabajo que específicamente ponga a pruebas las propuestas de la teoría de Halffter. Los estudios de biogeografía cladística y la filogenética-filogeografía, que actualmente dominan la biogeografía evolutiva, se prestan al cuestionamiento de propuestas como la teoría antes mencionada. La segunda parte de éste ensayo está elaborada en este sentido. Usando como material los distintos linajes del género Canthon (Coleoptera: Scarabaeinae) que en diferentes momentos del Cenozoico han invadido México procedentes desde Sudamérica. Distinguimos una especie muy antigua que sobrevive como paleoendemismo en el extremo sur de la Baja California. Un linaje altamente diversificado en el Altiplano Mexicano, cuya penetración a la ZTM pueden situarse en Mioceno o anterior. Varios linajes independientes con amplia distribución en las tierras tropicales. Y por último, varias penetraciones puntuales de linajes muy diferentes, de origen centro sudamericano, que están invadiendo las selvas siempre verdes del sureste de México. En base a todo esté material, planteamos ejercicios para la ratificación o cambio de varias de la hipótesis de la teoría de la ZTM.

Recent advances in the biology, genetics and ecology of the ectomycorrhizal ascomycete Cenococcum geophilum
Authors: Wang Huayong , Kohler Annegret , Martin Francis
Published: September 2024

The ascomycete Cenococcum geophilum is a cosmopolitan and ecologically significant ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungus that forms symbiotic associations with diverse host plants globally across various ecosystems. As the only known ECM member of Dothideomycetes, C. geophilum exhibits several distinctive characteristics that distinguish it from other ECM fungi. Its high genetic diversity is particularly noteworthy considering its asexual reproduction mode. This genetic variability may contribute to its adaptability and extensive distribution across habitats. As an early colonizer of primary forest succession, C. geophilum significantly contributes to ecosystem stability and development. Its ability to establish quickly in disturbed or newly formed habitats helps create conditions favorable for the establishment of other plant species, thereby playing a crucial role in ecological succession and ecosystem recovery. C. geophilum plays several key roles in forest and other terrestrial ecosystems. It is particularly important in nutrient cycling as it facilitates the transfer of nutrients, especially nitrogen and phosphorus, from the soil to its host plants. Additionally, C. geophilum has been demonstrated to enhance the drought resistance of its host plants, a trait that is becoming increasingly important in the context of climate change and frequent drought events. Recent advances in molecular biology and genomics have revealed that C. geophilum is not a single species but rather a species complex comprising multiple cryptic lineages. These lineages exhibit potential host preferences, suggesting a degree of specialization within the complex. The genome of C. geophilum has been sequenced and analyzed, providing valuable insights into its molecular biology and symbiotic capabilities. Notably, this genome encodes a reduced repertoire of carbohydrate-active enzymes and a large set of effector-like, small secreted proteins. These molecular traits likely facilitate host colonization across diverse plant taxa by enabling the fungus to interact with and modify plant cell walls, as well as to communicate with its host plants through various signaling pathways. Therefore, C. geophilum is a compelling model system for research on fungal ecology, evolution, and mycorrhizal symbiosis.
Freshwater fish functional diversity shows diverse responses to human activities, but consistently declines in the tropics
Authors: Lima Romullo , Soares Bruno , Cadotte Marc , Albrecht Míriam
Published: September 2024

Freshwater environments are intertwined with human activities and the consequence has been environmental degradation and biodiversity loss. Fish provide key ecological and economic benefits, and fish abundance and diversity can be affected by human activities resulting in functional diversity (FD) changes that might scale up to ecosystem impacts. Changes in FD can be expressed by quantifying its three main FD components temporally and/or spatially: richness, regularity, and divergence. There is no consensus about how human activities affect the main components of FD. In addition, human activities might affect the functional diversity of communities differently in temperate and tropical regions because of differences in the regional pools and the distribution of functional traits. Here, using a meta-analytical approach, we assess how different human activities (e.g.., deforestation, invasion, reservoirs) in freshwater systems affect FD components in fish communities. We compiled information from 2012 to 2023, and we found highly idiosyncratic patterns globally, but consistent loss of functional richness and regularity in face of human activities in the tropics. This idiosyncrasy could be related to high environmental heterogeneity or the multiple ways in which communities can be affected by human activities, or the distribution of functional uniqueness and redundancy. The reduction of functional diversity is concerning since human activities are removing specific functions from natural environments and results in the dominance of traits related to generalist ecological strategies. Despite the general patterns of reduction, local features are determinants on how the community will answer to human activity and therefore we highlight the importance of understanding the environment and fauna at the local scale, and the mechanisms by which each activity might affect FD.
Anthropogenic lighting affects moth abundance and diversity differently across ecosystems
Authors: Andersson Petter , Jägerbrand Annika
Published: September 2024

Light pollution poses a significant threat to nocturnal insects, yet our understanding of how insects are affected by lighting across ecosystems is limited. The purpose of this study was to investigate differences in light-induced attraction in abundance and diversity of moths in forest and grassland ecosystems. This study presents a novel comparison of moth attraction between these ecosystems using identical light traps with known lighting properties across 32 sites. We found significantly higher moth abundance and diversity (species richness) in forests compared to open grasslands, where environmental factors such as temperature and cloudiness had stronger effects on moth attraction in grasslands. Notably, moth families showed varying responses across ecosystems, suggesting potential sampling biases in light attraction studies. Our findings point to the need for ecosystem-specific approaches in light pollution mitigation strategies and provide a methodological approach for future research on the impacts of anthropogenic light on biodiversity. The results have important implications for conservation planning and the management of anthropogenic lighting in diverse landscapes.

Objective: Prior to the pandemic, all scientific evidence suggested that the evening chronotype is a risk factor for mental pathologies, while the morning chronotype is a protective factor. However, by exploring the effects of anxiety and chronotype on sleep quality in a post-pandemic, segmented by age, new evidence is presented that contradicts the traditional ones.Methods: This quantitative, exploratory, cross-sectional study included 2,253 participants, segmented into three age categories: <18 years, 18–23 years, and >23 years. Linear regression coefficients were calculated using weighted least squares, with a confidence level of 95% or greater (p<0.05) applied in all cases.Results: The highest levels of anxiety were found in men. In all cases, significant correlation and variance were found in sleep quality with respect to age and anxiety. The increase in poor sleep quality is explained by between 1.8% and 1.9% in subjects with anxiety and morning chronotype as age advances in post-pandemic.Conclusion: Anxiety, chronotype, and age significantly affect sleep quality. In the context of a pandemic, older subjects with a morning chronotype experience worse sleep quality. Specifically, under conditions of confinement and social isolation during a pandemic, morning chronotypes tend to have worse sleep quality compared to evening chronotypes, who may have an adaptive evolutionary advantage in such circumstances.

Purpose. This research aims to assess the characteristics of ceramics made from Lombok clay to optimize the quality of ceramic products in the Lombok region and surrounding areas. Methods. Methods used to characterize Lombok clay include measuring its chemical composition, loss on ignition, plasticity level and conducting mineral analysis. Additionally, the influence of sintering temperature on clay properties and shrinkage is studied. Findings. The main mineral component of Lombok clay is kaolin, which has a high level of plasticity and a water absorption rate of 7 ± 0.6%. The ceramic body produced from this clay is classified as semi-porcelain, making it suitable for medium-sized tableware manufactured using the rotating technique. Originality. This research highlights the effect of sintering temperature on the mineral transformation of Lombok clay and provides valuable information on its optimal applications. It fills a gap in the literature by providing comprehensive data on clay properties and optimal processing conditions that have previously been underexplored. Practical implications. Lombok clay is used predominantly by small-scale ceramic craftsmen in Lombok and Bali due to its relatively low market price. With the findings of this study, these craftsmen can enhance the quality of their products to semi-porcelain standards by adjusting the sintering temperature.

Published: September 2024

Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is associated with autonomic dysfunction as well as hyperhomocysteinemiaand low serum vitamin B12 level. Heart rate variability (HRV) is an important tool for assessing autonomic function.Objective:To evaluate the association of  hyperhomocysteinemia and low vitamin B12with autonomic dysfunction by time domain measures of HRV in male patients with PD. Methods: This observational analytical cross sectional study was conducted on 30 newly diagnosed male PD patients of 50-60 years age attending Out Patient Department of the Department of Neurology, BSMMU, Dhaka. Thirty (30) age and BMI matched apparently healthy male subjects were included as control for comparison. Serum vitamin B12 and homocysteine were measured by chemiluminescent immunoassay method and HRV were measured by time domainmethod using a data acquisition device, Powerlab 8/35, AD instruments. Independent sample t-test and Pearson’s correlation coefficient test were used for statistical analysis by SPSS version 25 and p value <0.05 were considered as statistical significance.  Results: In this study, resting pulse rate and mean heart ratewere found significantly higher (p<0.001) and mean RR interval, standard deviation of the RR intervals (SDRR), coefficient variation of RR interval (CVRR), standard deviation of the difference between successive RR intervals (SDSD), square root of mean squared differences of successive RR intervals (RMSSD), proportion of RR interval with duration >50ms (pRR50%)were found significantly lower (p<0.001) in PD patients  compared to control. In addition, serum vitamin B12 level was found significantly lower (p<0.01) and homocysteine level was found significantly higher (p<0.001) in PD patients than that of control. On correlation analysis, serum homocysteine was significantly negatively correlated with SDSD (p<0.01) and RMSSD (p<0.01). Conclusion:Hyperhomocysteinemiais associated with autonomic dysfunction in male patients with PD.
