Comparative study in safety and efficacy of maintenance therapies for patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody small vessel vasculitis: A network meta-analysis v1
Authors: Bellos Ioannis , Lionaki Sophia
Published: June 2021

Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis represents a potentially life-threatening disease. Induction of remission is achieved in the vast majority of patients by high-dose glucocorticoid therapy combined with cyclophosphamide or rituximab, followed by oral glucocorticoid tapering; however, relapses are common. The present network meta-analysis is aiming to accumulate current literature knowledge and compare the efficacy and safety of different regimens used for maintenance of remission in patients with ANCA vasculitis. Adult patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis in complete remission including clinical the phenotypes of granulomatosis with polyangiitis, microscopic polyangiitis, and renal-limited disease will be included. All potential maintenance treatments will be simultaneously compared. Only randomized controlled trials will be included. A random-effects frequentist network meta-analytic model will be fitted and interventions will be ranked according to their P-scores.

Published: June 2021

Background: Lymphoid tissue is the first to react to stress, which manifests as characteristic morphological manifestations, based on which it is possible to study the duration of damage. Aims: Study of the dynamics of changes in the histomorphometric characteristics of the rat thymus during regeneration of the musculocutaneous tissue during mechanical thigh trauma. Material and methods: In total, 84 sexually mature rats were enrolled. These were divided into two groups (experiment and control), which were further classified into four subgroups depending on the time elapsed since the injury (1, 3, 15, and 25 days). Mechanical damage was simulated using a setup that transferred kinetic energy (comparable to a 5.6-mm rifle bullet) to tissues. Subsequently, the animals were removed from the experiment by decapitation; their thymus was removed and microscopically examined. In arbitrary units, the total area of the lobules as well as the area of the cortical and cerebral zones was determined. Results: Our research results indicate different phases of changes in the histomorphometric characteristics of the thymus, which correspond to the course of the wound and can be used in forensic practice to determine the duration of the injury. Conclusions: Mechanical trauma, considered as a stress reaction, causes involutive changes in the thymus and is characterized by changes in the area of the thymus cortex and medulla as well as regular dynamics of changes in the thymic lobules at different stages of wound regeneration.
INOVACIJSKA POLITIKA U HRVATSKOJ IZMEĐU INDUSTRIJSKE EKONOMIJE I EKONOMIJE ZNANJA
Authors:   Rimac Automobili, Mršić Radas Antonija , Petković Krešimir
Published: June 2021

Na osnovi analize diskursa 22 polustrukturirana intervjua s dionicima inovacijske politike i relevantnih javnih dokumenata, autori prikazuju problematiku agende inovacijske politike u Hrvatskoj u procesu pristupanja EU i nakon ulaska u članstvo, stavljajući naglasak na prisutnost ideja industrijske ekonomije i ekonomije znanja u diskursima o inovacijskoj politici u dekadi od 2006. do 2016. Proces stvaranja politike obilježilo je nedostatno koherentno tumačenje inovacijske politike i zanemarivanje institucionalnog konteksta. Autori zaključuju kako se ideja ekonomije znanja, kao temeljna ideja prisutna u inovacijskoj politici samo normativno prihvaćala zbog zahtjeva Europske unije kako bi se legitimirali interesi političkih aktera, dok su u stvarnosti ostale djelatne ideje ekonomije razmjera i pojednostavljenog linearnog modela inovacijskog procesa koje negativno utječu na mogućnost promjene politike i stvaranje integrirane inovacijske politike. Nalazi upućuju na zaključak kako inovacijska politika nije shvaćena kao politika koja integrira sektorske politike: znanstvenu, industrijsku, tehnologijsku i razvoja poduzetništva. Ideja nacionalnog inovacijskog sustava koristi se samo kao metafora za integraciju sektorskih politika, dok stvarna integracija u obliku sustava nije realizirana, a operacionalizacija te ideje ogleda se u nastojanju centralizacije upravljanja akterima koji bi trebali činiti elemente sustava. Odsutnost funkcionalne integrirane inovacijske politike jedna je od institucionalnih prepreka razvoju proklamirane ekonomije znanja.
PROBLEM RACIONALNOSTI U KAUZALNOM I EFEKTUALNOM PRISTUPU PODUZETNIŠTVU
Authors:   Ekonomski fakultet u Zagrebu, Mikić Mihaela , Primorac Dinko , Horvatinović Tin
Published: June 2021

Kauzalni i efektualni pristupi poduzetništvu najviše su istraživani pristupi u objašnjavanju načina iskorištavanja poduzetničkih prilika od strane poduzetnika. U istraživanjima koja se bave tematikom kauzalnog i efektualnog pristupa poduzetništvu uočeno je učestalo doticanje koncepta racionalnosti tih dvaju pristupa. Odnosno, mnogobrojni autori iznose stavove vezane za racionalnost odabira između navedenih dvaju pristupa poduzetništvu te racionalnu usklađenost njihovih temeljnih principa. Cilj je ovog rada kritički analizirati razne poglede koji su predloženi u literaturi o temi racionalnosti u kontekstu kauzalnog i efektualnog pristupa poduzetništvu. Iz analize proizlazi kako se većina autora koristi racionalnošću kao apsolutnim konceptom te analizira unutarnju koherentnost kauzalnog i efektualnog pristupa poduzetništvu. Međutim, nijedan autor nije definirao pojam racionalnosti kojim se koristi, a primjetno je i kako se u literaturi nedovoljno rigorozno pristupa tom konceptu te kako se neprimjereno koriste sinonimi za racionalnost. Završno, na temelju provedene analize donose se prijedlozi za buduća istraživanja.

Published: June 2021

Zaostajanje Republike Hrvatske za vodećim zemljama članicama Europske unije uvijek je bila jedna od dominantnih tema empirijskih istraživanja u domaćoj ekonomskoj znanosti. Situacija na tržištu rada u 2019. godini, gdje Republika Hrvatska bilježi jedne od najnižih stopa zaposlenosti i stopa participacije, samo dodatno potvrđuje činjenicu relativnog zaostajanja u odnosu prema vodećim zemljama članicama Europske unije. Cilj ovog istraživanja je istražiti vezu između institucionalnog okvira, kao jednog od mogućih faktora zaostajanja, ukupne stope zaposlenosti i stope zaposlenosti mladih u 27 zemalja članica Europske unije u razdoblju od 2002. do 2018. godine. Rezultati istraživanja ukazuju da je ta veza pozitivna i statistički signifikantna, kako za ukupnu stopu zaposlenosti, tako i za stopu zaposlenosti mladih.

O objetivo do trabalho foi identificar diferentes tipos e proporções de compostos na formulação de substratos para obtenção de mudas de tomate e berinjela. Dois experimentos foram conduzidos em um delineamento inteiramente casualizado, compostos por sete tratamentos constituídos pelos substratos (Tropstrato®, Solo + esterco bovino, Solo + esterco caprino, Solo + esterco caprino + esterco bovino, Solo + esterco bovino + areia, Solo + esterco caprino + areia e Solo + esterco caprino + esterco bovino + areia) submetidos a três repetições, totalizando 21 parcelas constituídas por 10 plantas cada. As variáveis analisadas foram: comprimento da raiz (CR), comprimento da parte aérea (CPA), diâmetro do caule (DC), quantidade de folhas totais (QFT), quantidade de folhas verdadeiras (QFV), massa fresca da parte aérea (MFPA), massa seca da parte aérea (MSPA), massa fresca da raiz (MFR) e massa seca da raiz (MSR). Para a produção de mudas de tomateiro, é recomendado utilizar o substrato alternativo composto por 50% de Solo + 50% de esterco bovino, sendo uma alternativa para a substituição do substrato comercial. Já para a produção de mudas de berinjela, são recomendados os substratos alternativos 50% Solo + 50% esterco bovino, 33,33% de Solo + 33,33% de esterco caprino + 33,33% de esterco bovino e 25% de Solo + 25% de esterco caprino + 25% de esterco bovino + 25% de areia, sendo alternativas para a substituição do substrato comercial. Logo, o substrato B (composto por solo e esterco bovino, na proporção de 1:1) é indicado para ambas as espécies sendo dentre os alternativos o que possui pH mais próximo do substrato comercial.

Published: June 2021

Inappropriate use and management of land has generated processes of environmental degradation, in which the increasing removal of forest coverage has impaired the hydrological cycle, water and soil quality. The objective of this work is to know the effects of the protection of the spring, and the initial part of its watercourse, on the environmental conditions in a family property. The study was carried out on the property located in the Rainha da Paz Community, in Alegre-ES, using indicators used for environmental monitoring, at the beginning in September 2013 and after one year (September 2014) of the Water Planters Project. The quality indicators used in the evaluation clearly show that the initial situation in the spring APP, and APP around the main watercourse was inadequate, in several indicators mainly due to the occupation of the area with agricultural use, specifically pasture, occurring cattle trampling within a radius of 50 meters of the spring's permanent preservation area, causing soil compaction and silting, showing a high degree of degradation, reflecting the lack of environmental adequacy, thus not complying with current environmental legislation. The project promoted improvements in the environmental conditions of the family property, through the natural regeneration of native species, bringing gains to the floristic composition, in addition to improvements in the soil conditions.

Isolation of Phages and Study of their In vitro Efficacy on Staphylococcus aureus Isolates Originating from Bovine Subclinical Mastitis
Authors: Srujana A.S. , Sonalika J. , Akhila D.S. , Juliet M.R. , Sheela P.
Published: June 2021

Background: India leads the global market in milk production. However, bovine mastitis, which is the mammary gland inflammation in dairy cattle characterized by physical, chemical, bacteriological changes in milk results in commercial losses. Staphylococcus aureus, is the major causative agent. The treatment of mastitis caused by this pathogen is mainly by antibiotics. Emphasizing on the one health concept, phage therapy is an appropriate alternative to antibiotic. The present study was aimed to isolate and characterize bacteriophages against Staphylococcus aureus associated with bovine mastitis. Methods: Thirty two isolates of S. aureus obtained from the milk of mastitis cows were characterized by phenotypic and genotypic methods. Antibiotic susceptibility of the isolates was carried out by disk diffusion assay. Milk and cow shed wastewater were used for phage isolation. Phages were characterized by host susceptibility and RAPD assay. Result: Nineteen phages were isolated from the cowshed waste water. All the milk samples showed negative for the presence of phage. The phage 24 (A2) which had the broadest host range, was selected for the CFU drop assay. The phage was able to clear the lawn of S. aureus culture when grown on agar at different time points thus indicating that topical application of this phage would be a potential strategy to control S. aureus infection leading to mastitis. This study provides a basis to continue the exploration of the potential of PSA2 phage as a candidate for the treatment of Staphylococcal mastitis.

Published: June 2021

The aim of our research was to study the impact of various environmental factors on the resin production of pines in the Slovenian Karst. Five plots were established % three in Pinus nigra (Arnold) stands and two in Pinus sylvestris (L.) stands. On each plot, the 19-20 most vigorous dominant or codominant trees with a minimum diameter at breast height (DBH) of 20 cm were selected and their resin yield analysed in 2012. Resin yield in P. nigra was considerably higher than that in P. sylvestris. The average resin yield per tree during the study period of 102 days was 1.144 kg for P. nigra and 0.612 for P. sylvestris. There were substantial differences in resin yield among individual trees in the study period: 0.336-2.487 kg for P. nigra and 0.249-1.270 kg for P. sylvestris. The resin yield in P. nigra was considerably higher for the trees with larger DBH, while this was not the case in P. sylvestris. Tree species was the most important factor in resin yield. Increased precipitation resulted in higher resin yields on most plots, whereas better site productivity positively affected resin yield on all P. nigra plots but not on P. sylvestris plots.

Published: June 2021

BACKGROUND: Parkinson's disease (PD) causes loss of automaticity and impairment in dual task (DT) performance.
AIM: To investigate the performance and pattern of prioritization of individuals with PD in motor and cognitive DT.
METHOD: An observational, transversal, comparative study assessed 20 individuals with PD between stages 1.5 to 3 of the modified Hoehn and Yahr scale. Performance was assessed during the execution of manual dexterity and sit-to-stand tasks, in a single task or in association with a verbal fluency task.
RESULTS: There was a loss of performance in both dual task conditions. The cost of verbal fluency was higher than the cost of manual dexterity function.
CONCLUSION: Individuals with PD showed worse DT performance and prioritized the manual dexterity task. There was no prioritization between sit-to-stand and verbal fluency. These findings suggest that the nature of tasks can influence the prioritization of dual tasks.

Por meio de uma abordagem do cotidiano e do trabalho criativo de quatro mulheres sul-americanas, vislumbramos possibilidades de formas de fazer e viver que ocorrem fora da lógica convencional da produção artística ligada à dinâmica do consumo. O cuidado - de si, dos outros, do ambiente, do vivo e das coisas - é importante dentro desses processos e é a dimensão comum que os relaciona. Graças a esses gestos de cuidado e arte, são gestadas poéticas que se opõem à grande história de medo e morte que dominante hoje.
A violência dos limites na arte
Authors: Rojas Sergio
Published: June 2021

Pergunto-me, neste artigo, sobre a possibilidade da arte de enfrentar a violência hoje, quando já é claro que ela não funciona como uma interrupção excepcional do cotidiano, mas nele se concretiza. O que procuro refletir não é sobre o modo como as artes fazem da violência um "tema", mas sobre a possibilidade de que seja pensada, que o destinatário das obras seja alterado não pelo espetáculo da violência, viabilizada por feitos de sangue, mas pelo quão esmagador pode ser, efetivamente, pensar a ordem da violência. Que não esteja, em primeiro plano, uma carnificina humana que emudece, fazendo faltar as palavras, mas o pensamento que a violência provoca no espectador a partir de uma circunstância artística. A hipótese principal é que, em relação à violência, os próprios limites instituídos da arte podem se tornar um recurso tão ambíguo quanto essencial para dar origem a esse pensamento.

I Bienal de Havana e II Bienal de Johannesburgo
Authors: Lino Juliana Caffé Alves Costa
Published: June 2021

O artigo pretende fazer uma aproximação da I Bienal de Havana e da II Bienal de Johannesburgo para analisar a importância de refletirmos sobre as metodologias de pesquisas utilizadas para estudar as bienais. Ambas as exposições revelam como as intersecções entre arte, política e sociedade atuam em uma mostra e oferecem caminhos com muitos pontos para reflexão sobre a importância de uma pesquisa interdisciplinar da história da arte. Para escaparmos de leituras reducionistas sobre as histórias das exposições, uma opção metodológica é adotar uma perspectiva social, que contraponha a análise desses eventos à história da arte local e ao contexto político no qual se inserem.
La institucionalización y el coleccionismo de performance en museos españoles
Authors: Tinoco Bianca Andrade , Albarrán Diego Juan
Published: June 2021

Reconocido desde la década de noventa como uno de los países de referencia para la investigación del arte de performance, España ha consolidado una agenda de festivales y exposiciones dedicadas a ese género artístico en diferentes ciudades y territorios del estado. El desarrollo institucional que tuvo lugar durante los años noventa y la creciente internacionalización de la escena desde los dos mil ha abierto la puerta a la adquisición de obras de performance por parte de museos españoles, incluida la compra de acciones activables. Este artículo trata de analizar ese contexto institucional favorable para el coleccionismo de performance atendiendo a los cambios en la valoración de esas prácticas desde las manifestaciones pioneras de los años sesenta hasta la reciente exposición colectiva Acción. Una historia provisional de los 90. Con tal fin, el artículo se detiene en cuatro estudios de caso: el Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, en Madrid; el Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo, en Móstoles, Madrid; el Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Castilla y León, en León; y el Museo Vostell Malpartida, en Malpartida de Cáceres.
Centralizando Angelina Agostini no cânone
Authors: Oliveira Cláudia
Published: June 2021

Partindo da constatação da completa obliteração da artista Angelina Agostini e de suas obras, e de que as mulheres ainda são subalternas aos homens, o que é mais evidente no campo artístico, o artigo visa, primeiramente, centralizar a artista no cânone artístico brasileiro, abordando, em seguida, a virada cultural e o surgimento da história da arte feminista enquanto enquadramento histórico, social, cultural e político para uma compreensão contemporânea da artista e seu reposicionamento no cânone  artístico brasileiro, a partir de uma visão crítica pós-moderna que abandona a noção filosófica e instituída pela história da arte de gênio masculino. Por fim, fundamentada nas concepções e reflexões anteriores, farei duas “inscrições feministas” em duas obras da artista, Academia Nu Masculino de Costas (1912) e Vaidade (1913).

Vpliv izmenskega dela na spanje in duševno zdravje – pregled literature in pogled naprej
Authors: Lavrič Meta , Štukovnik Vita
Published: June 2021

Izmensko delo predstavlja nujo modernega sveta, saj zagotavlja 24-urno pokritost ključnih služb in storitev. Razlikuje se glede na število in dolžino izmen ter glede na vzorce oblikovanja urnikov, vsem oblikam pa je skupno, da se delno ali popolnoma prekrivajo s časom nočnega spanja. Izmensko delo tako povzroča neskladnost med cirkadianimi ritmi in okoljskimi zahtevami, kar ima negativen vpliv na spanje in lahko povzroča nastanek motenj spanja, ki vodijo do težav v duševnem zdravju. Na slabše duševno zdravje vpliva tudi razvoj za zdravje tveganih vedenj, ki jih izmenski delavci razvijejo za soočanje z urniki dela (predvsem z nočnim delom) ter neskladnost njihovih urnikov z urniki splošne populacije, kar vodi do nižje kvalitete socialnega življenja ter do družinskih konfliktov. Ker pa izmenskega dela ne moremo popolnoma odpraviti, je treba razmisliti o oblikovanju ukrepov, ki bodo tako na ravni posameznikov kot na ravni delovnih organizacij poskrbeli za zniževanje negativnih učinkov izmenskega dela na duševno zdravje in počutje zaposlenih. V članku predstavljamo ključne značilnosti izmenskega dela kot dejavnika tveganja za razvoj duševnih motenj, ob tem pa poudarjamo pomen ukrepov promocije zdravja pri delu za preprečevanje oz. lajšanje negativnih učinkov izmenskega dela na duševno zdravje zaposlenih.

Authors: Koontalay Apinya , Suksatan Wanich , M Sadang Jonaid , Prabsangob Kantapong
Published: June 2021

Objective: This study aims to identify the impact of nutritional factors on mechanical ventilation duration for critical patients. Patients and Methods: The current study was a single-center, prospective observational design which enrolled one-hundred critically ill patients who were admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU). It demonstrates purposive sampling and also performs the descriptive nutritional factors influencing the mechanical ventilation duration. Daily calories target requirement scale (DCRS), subjective global assessment form (SGA), dyspnea assessment form, and APACHE II have been used as methods in the study along with time to initial enteral nutrition (EN) after 24-hour admission and daily calories target requirement over 7 days to assess patients. Data is analyzed using the multiple regressions. Results: As a result, nutritional status monitoring, time to initial EN, calories and target requirements are statistically positive significance associated with the mechanical ventilation duration respectively (R = 0.54, R = 0.30, R= 0.40, p < 0.05). However, age, illness severity, and dyspnea scales are not associated with the mechanical ventilation duration (p> 0.05). Therefore, the nutritional status, malnutrition scores and calorie target requirements can be used to significantly predict the mechanical ventilation duration. The predictive power is 58 and 28.0% of variance. The most proper influencer to predict the mechanical ventilation duration is nutritional status or malnutrition scores. Conclusion: The research findings show that the nutritional status, time to initial EN, and calorie target requirement within 7 days of admission are associated with the mechanical ventilation duration in the critical patients. Therefore, it can be used to develop guidelines reducing the mechanical ventilation duration and to promote the ventilator halting for critical patients.

Authors: Phan Thuan
Published: June 2021

Early identification of fetal abnormalities is a huge challenge for modern obstetrics. Quantitative fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR) has quickly become an effective means of chromosome anomaly detection due to its advantages in terms of timing, manpower and accuracy. The QF-PCR results also make a significant change in clinicians’ attitude to some extent, assisting them providing parents with professional and valuable advice on pregnancy management. In this review, the advantages and drawbacks of QF-PCR will be explored. By reviewing studies published in Vietnamese Medical Journals, we conclude QF-PCR can become a potential screening test in the field of prenatal diagnosis.
Paradigm of Historical Science in Development of Land Transportation facilities in DKI Jakarta
Authors: M. Firdaus Alfi , Pandin Moses
Published: June 2021

Jakarta is the capital city of Indonesia, which has its own problems in building transportation facilities, especially on land routes. For private vehicle users, congestion is a common thing, given the very dense number of people living in Jakarta, both natives and migrants from outside the region. And for users of public transportation services such as city transportation (angkot) and transjakarta, convenience is the main obstacle. And even though it is a public vehicle, it cannot avoid congestion because it is in one lane with private vehicles except for the transjakarta bus which has its own lane. Meanwhile, for train-based public transportation such as MRT (Mass Rapid Transit), LRT (Light rail Transit), and electric railroad (KRL), the problem is the lack of integration, namely that many stations are not yet integrated with other transportation. Various policies have been implemented to overcome these problems. This study aims to determine the level of effectiveness and efficiency of public transportation in DKI Jakarta today. The method used in this research is qualitative-descriptive through a literature review on 16 journal articles and 4 websites. The results of this study indicate that congestion is a major problem in the means of transportation in Jakarta. This is due to the increase in population due to urbanization which is also accompanied by an increase in the number of private vehicles. Therefore, to overcome this, the Jakarta Provincial Government has made improvements, reforms, and developments in public transportation. And it is hoped that people who originally used private vehicles will switch to using public transportation. But in reality, various problems in public transportation in Jakarta have not been resolved properly. Especially why traffic jams still occur?, and what are the solutions to overcome them?. It is hoped that the results of the findings of this study can be used as a reference in making or designing policies and can contribute to overcoming problems in the transportation sector, especially in the DKI Jakarta area. The limit of this research is that it only focuses on land transportation facilities in Jakarta.

Theories of reading comprehension emphasize decoding and listening comprehension as two essential components. The current study aimed to investigate how Chinese character decoding and context-driven auditory semantic integration contribute to reading comprehension in Chinese middle school students. Seventy-five middle school students were tested. Context-driven auditory semantic integration was assessed with speech-in-noise tests in which the fundamental frequency (F0) contours of spoken sentences were either kept natural or acoustically flattened with the latter requiring a higher degree of contextual information. Statistical modelling with hierarchical regression was conducted to examine the contributions of Chinese character decoding and context-driven auditory semantic integration to reading comprehension. Performance on Chinese character decoding and auditory semantic integration scores with the flattened (but not natural) F0 sentences significantly predicted reading comprehension. Furthermore, the contributions of these two factors to reading comprehension were better fitted with an additive model instead of a multiplicative model. These findings indicate that reading comprehension in middle schoolers is associated with not only character decoding but also the listening ability to make better use of the sentential context for semantic integration in a severely degraded speech-in-noise condition. The results add to our better understanding of the multi-faceted reading comprehension in children. Future research could further address the age-dependent development and maturation of reading skills by examining and controlling other important cognitive variables, and apply neuroimaging techniques such as functional magmatic resonance imaging to reveal the neural substrates for the contribution of auditory semantic integration and the observed additive model to reading comprehension.

Though there have been works highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of online learning, no study focused on university-level economics students. None of the studies explored students' opinions about improving the quality and effectiveness of online classes. Many used questionable samples, closed-ended questions, and all those researches were carried out at the beginning of online classes. In this paper, we overcome these limitations of earlier studies. Using a convenience sampling technique and open-ended questions, we collect data from 154 university-level economics students after being exposed to the online class for a year. Some advantages of online classes are: students can do classes from home without being exposed to health risks, easily accessible, flexible class schedule, students remained connected with the study, it saves costs, reduce the likelihood of semester loss, easy to understand, less stressful, and learning new technologies. Major problems from students' perspectives include network problems, difficulties in understanding the topic, unsuitable for mathematical courses, concentration problem, class not interactive, financial constraint, adverse health impacts, device issues, power outages, unfamiliarity with digital technology, internet problem, and unfixed class-schedule. Disadvantages outnumbered advantages. Students made several suggestions to improve the quality and effectiveness of online classes. Some of the vital suggestions are: using state-of-the-art digital tools, recording and uploading lectures, resolving internet issues, holding classes regularly, higher efforts to make the topics easier, resolving network issues, lowering class duration, institutional support, implementing a fixed class schedule, and introducing online evaluation system.

Background: Currently, Indonesia is entering an era that is all digital and uses technology in all fields of activity. The internet has a lot to do with their behavior or character. Millennials are the nation's next generation. The emergence of the digital era caused by globalization has made the millennial generation less appreciative and practicing the values ​​of Pancasila. In this case, character education is something that must be applied to the millennial generation. Purpose: This study aims to analyze the characteristics of the millennial generation, the role of character education in realizing the values ​​of Pancasila in the daily life of the millennial generation, how to cultivate an attitude of patriotism and nationalism towards the nation by practicing Pancasila, and provide motivation for the millennial generation to realize these values. Pancasila values. Methods: This study uses a literature review method. The search for journals was carried out using the google scholar database with the keywords “Character Education”, “millenial generation”, and “Pancasila”. The journals selected are journals from 2019 to 2020. Results: By applying character education to the millennial generation, it will make it easier for them to practice the values ​​of Pancasila. Pancasila should be the way of life of the millennial generation. Recommendation and limitation: As millennials, we must protect the country from values ​​that are contrary to Pancasila. Character education must be applied following the nature of the millennial generation itself. Of course, the applied character education must prioritize and be based on the values ​​of Pancasila as well.

Poverty is one of the indexes that can see how a country succeeds in development. In Indonesia, the poverty rate is high as the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic increases over time. Therefore, a solution is embraced in the form of government policies in tackling poverty in Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to analyze the poverty caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.What is the current state of poverty caused by the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia? and what are the previous government policies that have succeeded in reducing poverty in Indonesia? The method used in this study is the literature review method based on the results of critical analysis of journal articles that are relevant to the topic of discussion. The results showed that three government policies have succeeded in lowering the poverty level in Indonesia, namely the PKH program policy, the zakat policy as an indicator of poverty reduction, and the Bank Wakaf Mikro policy. Therefore, this study focuses on the policy as a study for government policy in lowering poverty levels due to the Covid-19 Pandemic.

Renewable methanol, obtained from CO2 and hydrogen provided from renewable energy, has been proposed as a way to close the CO2 loop. In industry, methanol synthesis using the catalyst CuO/ZnO/Al2O3 occurs at a high pressure. We intend to make certain modification on the traditional catalyst in order to work at lower pressure, maintaining high selectivity. Therefore, three heterogeneous catalysts have been synthesized by co-precipitation in order to improve the activity and the selectivity to methanol under mild conditions of temperature and pressure. Certain modifications on the traditional catalyst Cu/Zn/Al2O3 were employed such as the modification of the synthesis time and the addition of Pd as a dopant agent. The most efficient catalyst among those tested was a palladium-doped catalyst, 5% Pd/Cu/Zn/Al2O3. This had a selectivity of 64% at 210C and 5 bar.

Because of the covid-19 pandemic, world development has de-escalated, and some have come to a halt because there are many new problems that this era never faced before. Especially in Indonesia's education, every student in this millennial era who is already used to face-to-face lectures and teachers and professors are going through massive changes where every task will be done virtually. These actions are being done to prevent the spread of Covid-19. With online meetings, there will be many changes in the curriculum to find an effective way of studying, and the former curriculum will not fit because it was made for the offline lecture. Also adapting to it will take time. This article will bring up Indonesia’s education progress in this era while Covid-19 pandemic is happening and give an insight on how to anticipate this problem. Questions that arise from this topic are the effect of government effort on holding the pandemic, is it safe if school will be opened soon, and how education after this pandemic is. This research uses literature review methods where it’s done by search, gather, compile and interpret data that is being used. The data are from the latest research, namely from 2019 to 2021 published through Google Scholar, totaling 11 articles, and few online news to keep relevancy of the topic. The results of this study indicate that Covid-19 produces a change that is worse than the good. Even so, the government has allowed face-to-face and online learning according to the consent of students and parents. Thus, the community, especially students, teachers, and others, are expected to uphold education even though it is required to adapt according to existing protocols. From the research, literature review methods proved to be effective to study this topic while Covid-19 is happening to keep safety measures, but it does not give many details and specific information well. This method is recommended to researchers who don’t want to risk their life by being exposed to the pandemic.

Objectives. To analyze changes in occupational health inequity between 2011 and 2018 among workers in Central America.

Methods. Data were collected by face-to-face interviews at the workers’ homes for the 2 Central America Working Conditions Surveys (n  = 12 024 in 2011 and n = 9030 in 2018). We estimated health inequity gaps by means of absolute and relative population attributable risks and the weighted Keppel index. We stratified all analyses by gender.

Results. Between 2011 and 2018, the proportion of workers reporting poor self-perceived health decreased both in women (from 32% to 29%) and men (from 33% to 30%). However, the health inequity gaps remained wide in the 4 stratifiers. Measured by the Keppel index, health inequity gaps between countries increased from 22% to 39% in women and from 20% to 29% in men.

Conclusions. While health improved between 2011 and 2018, health inequity gaps remained wide. Wider health inequity gaps were observed between countries than by gender, age, occupation, or education.

Public Health Implications. This first benchmark of occupational health inequities in Central America could be useful when developing and evaluating the impact of public policies on work.

For the past decades, the flue gas emitted from Municipal Solid Waste Incinerator, Power Plant, and various industries are a permanent problem for the environment and has been affecting human life. Many flue gas filtration devices have been emerging out over the years. Although the Electrostatic Precipitator was an appropriate device due to high filtration efficiency, little pressure drop and energy efficiency, the cost and design of the Electrostatic Precipitator is a major restriction for manufacturers and end-users. With recent advances in technology,designing a cost-effective and less complex electrostatic precipitator has become mandatory. This article aims to design and develop a solar-powered cost-effective Needle-Plate typeelectrostatic precipitator which includes a static power converters and high voltage Transformer-Rectifier (T-R) set with an input voltage as 230V AC, output voltage as 80kV Direct Current (DC) and output current of40mA for mitigation of Flue gas emissions exhaust from Municipal Solid Waste Incinerator. The analysis of flue gas at ESP inlet and outlet has been performed using Ecotech stack sampler and flue gas analyzer. The obtained experimental results are validated with Emission standards provided in the Solid Waste Management rules book-India 2016.
