REVIEW : FORMULASI DAN KARAKTERISASI FITOSOM-EKSTRAK HIDROFILIK & HIDROFOBIK : METODE HIDRASI LAPIS TIPIS DAN PENGUAPAN PELARUT
Authors: ZD Sutisna Siti Fauziyah , Anis Yohana Chaerunisaa
Published: June 2022

Penggunaan obat tradisional dalam memelihara kesehatan telah dilakukan sejak zaman dahulu hingga saat ini. Banyak ekstrak tumbuhan telah diketahui komposisi kimia dan efek terapeutiknya. Namun keterbatasan dari phytokonstituen seperti kelarutan dan masalah penyerapan yang rendah, dan ukuran molekul yang besar membatasi penyerapannya melintasi membran lipid biologis. Sehingga berdampak pada biovailabilitas yang rendah. Fitosom merupakan teknologi yang diperkenalkan untuk mengatasi rendahnya penyerapan bahan aktif alam, sehingga terjadi peningkatan bioavailabilitas karena peningkatan kemampuannya untuk melintasi membran seluler dan masuk ke dalam sirkulasi darah. Tinjauan ini bertujuan untuk memaparkan fitosom dalam system penghantaran obat terutama fitokonstituen beserta metode formulasi fitosom-fitokonstituen dan karakterisasinya. Metode penguapan pelarut meliputi jumlah ekstrak dan fosfolipid dengan rasio perbandingan 1:1, 1:2, 1:3 dilarutkan dalam pelarut organik lalu dilakukan reflux untuk menguapkan pelarut, residu yang dihasilkan ditambahkan pelarut non polar, disaring dan dikeringkan lalu disimpan di suhu kamar. Metode Hidrasi Lapis tipis meliputi persiapan kompleks ekstrak-fitosom dengan jumlah rasio 1:5 ditambahkan pelarut polar, diaduk dengan stirrer lalu pelarut diuapkan dengan rotary evaporator, lapisan film yang terbentuk ditambahkan buffer lalu di-ultasonikasi dan didinginkan selama maksimal 24 jam.
Book Review of Trauma to triumph: rising from the ashes of the Asian Financial Crisis
Authors: Daway-Ducanes Sarah Lynne
Published: June 2022

Trauma to triumph: rising from the ashes of the Asian Financial Crisis (edited by Hoe Ee Khor, Diwa C. Guinigundo and Masahiro Kawai) is an epic endeavor to link the devastation and “trauma” from the 1997-98 Asian Financial Crisis (AFC) in the ASEAN+3 region to the adoption of key domestic structural reforms and the establishment of regional !nancial cooperative mechanisms, which would be instrumental to the region’s “triumphs” of recovering and growing in the AFC’s aftermath, weathering the adverse effects of the 2007-08 Global Financial Crisis (GFC) and even thriving in the post-GFC period. In the midst of the still looming threat of the COVID-19 global pandemic, and the new threats posed by the Ukraine-Russia war and cost-push global in"ation, the titular “triumph” may also extend to the current opportunities for greater regional cooperation to overcome these challenges.
An extremely rare clinical manifestation of acute appendicitis in a nonagenarian patient: lessons still to be learned

Published: June 2022

Abstract

Acute appendicitis is associated with a relatively high mortality rate among elderly patients due to the unusual clinical presentation that often leads to misdiagnosis and, in turn, severe complications.

This report describes an extremely uncommon clinical manifestation of acute appendicitis in an elderly patient - a subcutaneous abdominal wall abscess initially treated as cellulitis. Despite the initial misdiagnosis, contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a circumscribed inflammatory process of the appendix that was in close proximity to the abdominal wall. The patient underwent a surgical drainage of the abscess, received broad-spectrum antibiotics, and was discharged on day 12 following an uneventful course.

Diagnosis of acute appendicitis in elderly patients is challenging due to the atypical clinical presentation and co-existing comorbidities that can be misleading. Early application of high-resolution imaging techniques is necessary to identify the cause of acute abdomen in the elderly population.
Gastric trichobezoar in the absence of psychosocial stressors: a report of two cases
Authors: Yankov Ivan , Tashev Vasil , Kozev Pavlin , Shentova Rayna , Mitkovski Danail , Boyanov Nikola
Published: June 2022

Abstract

Bezoars are accumulations in the gastrointestinal tract caused by intentional or unintentional consumption of indigestible materials. After food and mucus impaction they become solid masses with different sizes, presenting with various non-specific symptoms. Current treatment options for bezoars include enzymatic dissolution, endoscopic fragmentation and removal, and surgical removal.

Herein, we report two cases with an abdominal trichobezoar due to trichophagia presenting with mild atypical symptoms and requiring surgical removal. The patients had no underlying psychological and behavioral deviations, psychiatric disorders, stressful or traumatic live events that may trigger the condition. We present our approach to making the diagnosis, the challenges we met, and our treatment strategy.

Trichobezoar should not be forgotten as part of the differential diagnosis of abdominal pain and abdominal mass in children and adolescent.
Biological and morphological studies on the parasitoids (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae) of Aprosthema tardum (Klug) (Hymenoptera, Argidae, Sterictiphorinae) in Var, southern France
Authors: Shaw Mark R. , Kan Pieter , Kan-van Limburg Stirum Brigitte , Wahl David B.
Published: June 2022

Field surveys at four neighbouring but discrete sites in southern France revealed the presence of five ichneumonid parasitoids of the Lathyrus-feeding sterictiphorine argid sawfly Aprosthema tardum. Four of these parasitoids, Lathrolestes erythrocephalus, Ischyrocnemis goesi (both Ctenopelmatinae), Terozoa quadridens and Thibetoides aprosthemae (both Tryphoninae), could be identified and, by also incorporating laboratory studies, the developmental biology of each was elucidated and illustrated. A little supplementary information from a site in Italy is also presented. The fifth species was detected only once and failed to develop in its cocoon; it remains unidentified but the cephalic sclerites of its final instar larva are illustrated. The identified parasitoids are all more or less rare and little-known species and prior to this study only L. erythrocephalus had a known host; the others were biologically unknown even at the generic level and not recorded from France. The egg of L. erythrocephalus bears prominent hooked structures at its capital end, not reported in other studied Lathrolestes species. From its biology as an endoparasitoid of a sawfly and from larval characters, Ischyrocnemis is confidently assigned to Ctenopelmatinae. Both ctenopelmatines could successfully parasitise the host during any of its 2nd to 5th instars, but the tryphonines were less flexible. Terozoa monitors hosts until the moult to the final instar before ovipositing on them, usually affixing the egg to the head and often an eye (stemma), while Thibetoides parasitises much younger hosts, placing its strongly anchored egg behind a thoracic leg where it remains through successive host moults. Some characters used in the past to determine Terozoa species are discussed, and a new provisional key to the known species of Terozoa is presented. The very different developmental biology of Terozoa and Thibetoides may challenge views that they are closely related genera. Terozoa bituberculata (Constantineanu, 1973), stat. rev. is raised from synonymy with T. quadridens Perkins, 1962. Reinterpretations of several cephalic structures of final instar larvae as well as larval spiracles are discussed, and a new interpretation and terminology for describing the latter is introduced.
On cold hardiness of the egg parasitoid wasp Telenomus tetratomus (Thomson, 1861) (Hymenoptera, Scelionidae) – a population regulator of the Siberian moth
Authors: Bulakhova Nina A. , Zhigulskaya Zoya A. , Gashkova Lyudmila P. , Berman Daniil I.
Published: June 2022

Among the factors contributing to the initiation of outbreaks of the Siberian moth, a dangerous pest of the coniferous forests of Northern Eurasia, it is considered important to reduce the regulatory impact of entomophages. One of the most effective regulators of the pest abundance is the egg parasitoid wasp Telenomus tetratomus (Thomson, 1861). There is an established opinion that T. tetratomus is less cold-resistant than caterpillars of the Siberian moth, and outbreaks of the pest are provoked by cold winters, during which conditions (low temperatures and low snow cover depth) are tolerated by the moth caterpillars but lead to death of the parasitoid. However, the lethal temperature for T. tetratomus was determined in an insufficiently controlled experiment more than 60 years ago. We evaluated one of the cold hardiness characteristics of T. tetratomus, the supercooling point (SCP), which had not been measured previously. Both the host and the parasitoid overwinter in a supercooled state, and freezing is lethal to both. The mean SCP of T. tetratomus (-21.2±0.2 °C) was found to be 6.3 °C lower than the SCP of Siberian moth caterpillars. Comparison of SCP distributions and mortality rates at several temperatures allows us to tentatively estimate 50% mortality temperature of the wasp – about -16 °C. The obtained result, analysis of temperatures in the litter of various types of coniferous forests, and published data indicate that the asynchronous mortality of the host and its main parasitoid during wintering, due to differences in cold hardiness, can be considered as the cause of outbreaks of the Siberian moth mass reproduction only with caution.
Evidence for further non-coding RNA genes in the fungal rDNA region
Authors: Rosenblad Magnus Alm , Larsson Ellen , Walker Arttapon , Thongklang Naritsada , Wurzbacher Christian , Nilsson R. Henrik
Published: June 2022

Non-coding RNA (ncRNA) genes play important, but incompletely understood, roles in various cellular processes, notably translation and gene regulation. A recent report on the detection of the ncRNA Signal Recognition Particle gene in the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer region of several species of three genera of ectomycorrhizal basidiomycetes prompted a more thorough bioinformatics search for additional ncRNA genes in the full fungal ribosomal operon. This study reports on the detection of three ncRNA genes hitherto not known from the fungal ribosomal region: nuclear RNase P RNA, RNase MRP RNA, and a possible snoRNA U14 in a total of five species of Auricularia and Inocybe. We verified their presence through resequencing of independent specimens. Two completed Auricularia genomes were found to lack these ncRNAs elsewhere than in the ribosomal operon, suggesting that these are functional genes. It seems clear that ncRNA genes play a larger role in fungal ribosomal genetics than hitherto thought.
Taxonomic notes on Sorbus megalocarpa (Rosaceae) and related taxa
Authors: Chen Xin , Ma JianHui , Geng LiYang
Published: June 2022

Four Sorbus taxa endemic to China, S. arguta, S. guanxianensis, S. megalocarpa var. megalocarpa and S. megalocarpa var. cuneata, are morphologically similar to one another in having large brown fruits with persistent calyx and dense lenticels. In literature, either all of the four taxa were accepted, or two of them, S. arguta and S. megalocarpa var. cuneata, were treated as synonyms of S. megalocarpa var. megalocarpa, or S. guanxianensis alone was dubious. In this study, based on morphological comparison, S. arguta is reinstated for its relatively small inflorescence, small fruit and timing of flowering after leaves are unfolded. S. megalocarpa var. cuneata is confirmed as a synonym and S. guanxianensis is proposed as a new heterotypic synonym of S. megalocarpa.
Distribution of the European mole cricket Gryllotalpa gryllotalpa (Orthoptera) in Slovakia
Authors: Danilák Martin , Lukáň Martin , Krištín Anton
Published: June 2022

Gryllotalpa gryllotalpa is widely distributed in the lowlands and hilly regions of southern, western, eastern Slovakia, outside the mountains as the High and Low Tatras. It was found at 516 sites, including 136 sites (5.3% of 2,561 studied sites) which were recorded using regular Orthoptera mapping of primary habitats in 1994–2021 and 380 other sites acquired from a questionnaire survey in 2020 and 2021. Altogether 72 % of the records were collected below 350 m a.s.l., and 98% below 700 m a.s.l. The habitat structure was biased by the result of questionnaire survey (recording mainly secondary habitats), with gardens (> 70%, n = 516) being the most frequent habitat. During regular Orthoptera mapping of primary habitats the most frequently inhabited environments were wet grasslands, marshes (42 %) and meadows (30%, n = 136). Suspected occurrence of the closely related species G. stepposa was investigated at nine lowland sites in southern Slovakia (6 in the Danube River area and 3 in the Ipeľ River area) in 2020 and 2021, but all the determined males (11) belonged to the species G. gryllotalpa. Distributional patterns of the species in Slovakia have been compared with neighboring countries of Europe.
Detection of Zabrotes subfasciatus and Bruchidius glycyrhizae (Chrysomelidae: Bruchinae) in Romania
Authors: Rădac Ioan Alexandru , Rădac Ionela , Șerban Cecilia
Published: June 2022

Although beans are an important part of the human diet, their long-term storage is still problematic due to pest damage by seed beetles. This study provides data on a documented detection of Mexican bean beetle Zabrotes subfasciatus in Romania. A great number of individuals were found inside packages of small white beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) imported from Syria and Ethiopia. Based on the investigation of the infested seeds, rearing and biology of the species, it is unlikely that this alien species is established in Romania. We also provide the first known record of Bruchidius glycyrhizae in Romania, based on its previously known distribution and the range of its host plants, it is more likely an overlooked native species.

Mieux qu’un compromis, une troisième voie : le panier de brevets pour accélérer l’accès aux vaccins et traitements contre la COVID-19
Authors: Billette de Villemeur Etienne , Dequiedt Vianney , Versaevel Bruno
Published: June 2022

Le débat sur la propriété intellectuelle qu’a suscité l’épidémie de COVID-19 tend à considérer vaccins et traitements comme de simples produits dont il suffirait de diffuser la recette de fabrication pour permettre leur accès à tous, et notamment aux populations des pays en développement. Quand on prend en compte le fait que la production des vaccins et traitements fait en réalité appel à de multiples technologies brevetées par plusieurs entités distinctes, ce débat s’enrichit : une troisième voie peut être identifiée, qui est à la fois plus équilibrée que les options du simple maintien ou au contraire de la suspension des brevets sur lesquelles se focalisent les discussions, sans pour autant se réduire à un simple compromis entre ces deux extrêmes. Cet article propose un modèle permettant d’analyser les conséquences de la mise en place d’un panier de brevets dont la mission est d’améliorer l’accès aux produits sur le marché final. Sa politique tarifaire est comparée avec deux scénarios de référence correspondant à l’absence de panier de brevets, d’une part, et à l’existence d’un panier cherchant à maximiser le profit des innovateurs, d’autre part. L’analyse permet de mettre en lumière le rôle positif que peut jouer une organisation à but non lucratif telle que le Medicines Patent Pool dans la gouvernance mondiale de la réponse à la pandémie.
Perception de la COVID-19 et comportement des ménages en Argentine
Authors: Phélinas Pascale , Hernández Valeria Alicia , Ciriez Camille
Published: June 2022

Fondé sur une enquête téléphonique menée auprès d’un échantillon représentatif de mille répondants, cet article analyse les perceptions et attitudes des Argentins face à l’épidémie de COVID-19. L’analyse montre que les Argentins ont massivement approuvé la politique sanitaire et économique suivie par leur gouvernement et, en conséquence, modifié leur comportement. Parmi les nombreux facteurs qui ont influencé l’adhésion des Argentins à la politique mise en œuvre et le respect des consignes sanitaires, la confiance dans les institutions (président, gouverneur, maire) ressort comme un déterminant majeur. Parmi les émotions, la peur ainsi qu’une forte perception de la gravité de la maladie s’avèrent également de puissants moteurs du respect des consignes sanitaires. Les résultats soulignent aussi l’importance des mesures économiques et sociales qui ont permis de réduire les coûts associés aux comportements de précaution. Ces conclusions sont robustes à l’inclusion d’un vaste ensemble de variables de contrôle sociodémographiques.
Clint Eastwood ou la possibilité du miracle

Plus vieux cinéaste hollywoodien en activité, Clint Eastwood, né en 1930, est aussi le plus productif conteur de la mémoire américaine, de ses légendes comme des vies plus ordinaires, hanté par la question de la transmission de l’héritage et la possibilité du salut. Ce texte propose un parcours à travers quelques-uns des huit films réalisés durant la dernière décennie marquée par les conséquences politiques et psychologiques des attentats du 11-Septembre, de J. Edgar (2011) à Cry Macho (2021).
Étude de mots en contexte : discriminer , discrimination , entre activité de langage et manifestation identitaire
Authors: Krylyschin Marina
Published: June 2022

L’étude analyse le lien existant entre langue et identité au travers de l’analyse d’un mot, celui de discrimination . Après une exposition des dimensions sémantique et syntaxique du terme, tant en langue qu’en discours, elle rappelle sa relation étroite à l’activité cognitive et discursive de catégorisation. Si importante dans l’apprentissage du langage, puis plus tard dans celui de la lecture et de l’écriture, l’activité est également observable dans certains discours sur l’école qui comportent en filigrane une thématique identitaire.
Regard sociolinguistique sur les arts de faire d’élèves plurilingues en classe de français
Authors: Miguel Addisu Véronique
Published: June 2022

Pour des élèves plurilingues apprenant à l’école en français, le français est un enjeu majeur de la construction identitaire. Quelles sont leurs stratégies langagières pour apprendre ? Nous les étudierons en tant qu’arts de faire « certaliens » (liés à la pensée de Michel de Certeau), sociolinguistiquement situés. L’étude ethnographique menée dans trois contextes contrastés suggère que les stratégies d’accommodation aux normes sociolangagières relèvent de logiques domestiques évolutives et peu didactisées, mais dépendantes de l’école. Elles peuvent à la fois soutenir les apprentissages et être perçues (ou investies) comme résistantes à l’ordre scolaire.
L’interlangue-s et son rôle dans la construction de la compétence plurilingue d’élèves allophones en contexte scolaire
Authors: Galligani Stéphanie
Published: June 2022

Dans l’étude, il s’agit de revisiter la notion d’interlangue-s, volontairement fléchie au pluriel, dans une perspective de (re)valorisation du capital langagier d’apprenants allophones en contexte scolaire. Rares sont les enseignants en charge de leur inclusion à recourir à cette notion pour rendre compte de la construction de l’interlangue-s de ces élèves et des connaissances intermédiaires qui la constituent en langue de scolarisation. Si l’interlangue a été pendant longtemps utilisée dans les recherches en didactique des langues pour rendre compte de l’évolution des connaissances d’un apprenant en langue étrangère dans une perspective binaire (langue source/langue cible), l’article propose une réflexion sur l’interlangue-s et son rôle dans la construction de la compétence plurilingue ainsi que sa participation au développement de l’identité linguistique des apprenants.

Published: June 2022

L’opération d’archéologie préventive localisée dans les jardins de l’abbaye Saint-Calixte de Cysoing (Nord) a mis en évidence un site dense et stratifié, occupé sans interruption ou presque de l’Antiquité à la période révolutionnaire. Le premier état de la villa se met en place dans le courant du i er s. av. J.-C. et perdure jusqu’au ii e s. ap. J.-C. Cette occupation, se caractérise par l’édification de constructions sur poteaux plantés illustrant le maintien et l’usage d’une architecture de tradition indigène. Suite à la destruction de l’installation par une série de coulées de boue, l’établissement est reconstruit adoptant alors une architecture de tradition méditerranéenne avec l’érection d’au moins trois constructions en pierre. Ces aménagements de plan rectangulaire et dotés de contreforts sont organisés autour d’une vaste cour. Ces vestiges semblent pouvoir être localisés au sein de la pars rustica . Le bâtiment le mieux préservé, encore doté de ses niveaux d’usage, a fait l’objet d’une observation carpologique. Les résultats de ces analyses associés à un examen détaillé des structures semblent confirmer la fonction de stockage de denrées agricoles pour ce modèle d’aménagement attesté dans de nombreuses villae de Gaule Belgique.
Le graffite de la villa de Poulainville (cité des Ambiens) : devis ou jeu de marelle ?
Authors: Hoët-Van Cauwenberghe Christine
Published: June 2022

Le graffite de la villa de Poulainville a été réalisé à la pointe post cocturam sur un fragment d’amphore. On distingue deux éléments : un quadrillage simple et un texte d’une ligne. Le tesson a été brisé, endommageant à la fois le texte et l’image. Les croisillons font penser soit à ceux d’une balustrade ou d’un balcon et le texte pourrait être lu comme une référence, peut-être suivie d’un prix, désormais disparu, à des travaux. L’autre hypothèse serait d’y reconnaître une grille de jeu et le nom de la personne à qui il était destiné. Ce serait alors un jeu de marelle classique.

La prospection thématique menée à Arras (Pas-de-Calais), sur le site des carrières Wellington et Blenheim, a offert la possibilité d’observer l’exploitation souterraine de la craie de la fin du Moyen Âge et durant les Temps modernes. L’opération a mis au jour plusieurs fronts de taille et ateliers dont l’étude croisée des approches archéologique, géologique et historique a permis d’identifier la méthode d’extraction de la craie employée par les carriers et d’en comprendre les différentes étapes. En outre, les résultats obtenus sont encourageants et laissent entrevoir de nouvelles pistes de recherche que l’étude complète de la carrière Blenheim permettrait d’approfondir.
What the Fight Against Radicalization Does to the Prison Officer Profession
Authors: Chantraine Gilles , Scheer David
Published: June 2022

This article, based on an ethnographic research, analyses how the prison officer profession has been transformed by the fight against radicalization and the “radicalization assessment units” (RAU) established in French prisons. It discusses the diversity of the prison officers’ daily activities, grouped in three main typologies: first: “monitor, separate, isolate”, then “negotiate, dialogue, punish” and lastly “observe, log, trace”. These terms provide a frame for describing, first, the warlike mistrust that governs the work of surveillance and control. We will then explore the forms of dialogue that nevertheless develop between the prisoners and prison officers, occasionally sustained by objectives for unofficial “deradicalization”. Lastly, we describe how the prison officers’ writing activity is structured both by their participation in the prisoner assessment, and their more or less strong enrolment in activities regarding prison intelligence.
Les mosaïques de Daphné : découverte, premières études, problèmes de datation
Authors: Balty Janine
Published: June 2022

La mosaïque de chasse de Yaqto (Daphné) avait été datée par J. Lassus vers 459, en raison de la représentation, sur sa bordure, du bain d’Ardabur (présent à Antioche de 450 à 466). Cette date était reprise par D. Levi. Cinq autres pavements à thèmes animaliers y étaient en revanche estimés plus tardifs (vers 520). Cette étude vise à montrer que l’important décalage de dates (de 459 à 520) est la conséquence d’une analyse stylistique erronée (confondant style et facture) ; de nombreuses découvertes récentes permettent d’affirmer que la mode des thèmes de chasse sur mosaïque s’est implantée en Syrie du Nord dès avant le milieu du ve siècle, atteignant son apogée entre 460 et 490. En outre, le type de coiffure des chasseurs trouve des parallèles sur les portraits en ronde-bosse du ve siècle.
Le sanctuaire d’Apollon à Daphné
Authors: Cabouret Bernadette
Published: June 2022

Le sanctuaire oraculaire d’Apollon à Daphné a fait la célébrité du faubourg et dans une certaine mesure celle d’Antioche sur l’Oronte. L’exceptionnelle abondance des sources et la luxuriance de la nature semblaient prédestiner le site au culte divin. Apollon, le protecteur de la dynastie séleucide et l’ancêtre de la dynastie, était le destinataire de ce culte privilégié par les rois. Mais d’autres cultes trouvaient leur place dans l’enceinte sacrée, ceux d’Artémis, de Zeus et des Nymphes. Après avoir souligné l’importance fondamentale des sources et du bois sacré, véritables emblèmes de Daphné, l’article esquisse les contours d’un panthéon daphnéen. Ensuite se pose la question de l’inscription du domaine sacré dans l’espace (la localisation), d’autant que la relation du temple avec l’eau des sources de Daphné conditionne la vocation oraculaire du sanctuaire. Enfin, les pratiques divinatoires, connues essentiellement par les auteurs chrétiens, permettent, si mystérieuses qu’elles soient, de mieux comprendre le rayonnement et la célébrité du sanctuaire, avant que l’incendie du temple, en un temps de christianisation rapide, ne signe la fin définitive d’un culte pluriséculaire.

Le temple ionique de Bziza : architecture et transformations
Authors: Kahwagi-Janho Hany
Published: June 2022

Le temple ionique de Bziza est l’un des temples les mieux conservés du Liban. Prostyle tétrastyle, le monument se dresse sur un podium bien plus large que la surface de sa cella et qui semble avoir fait partie du projet avorté d’un temple périptère. Le portail à l’entablement richement décoré et l’aspect décoratif des chapiteaux nous permettent de dater le monument du milieu du iie s. apr. J.-C. À l’époque médiévale, le monument fut transformé en une église biconque, dont il ne subsiste aujourd’hui que le chevet, constitué de deux absides qui occupent son côté nord-est.
Sur la route de Palmyre à Apamée. Note préliminaire à propos des bornes milliaires romaines retrouvées à l’ouest de Palmyre et de leur contexte géomorphologique
Authors: Magnani Stefano , Gregoratti Leonardo , Mior Paola , Cremaschi Mauro , Perego Alessandro
Published: June 2022

Lors d’une prospection archéologique menée en Palmyrène occidentale par la Mission syro-italienne ont été mises au jour 16 bornes milliaires, dont certaines portaient des inscriptions encore lisibles. Découverts sur la route menant de Palmyre à Apamée sur l’Oronte, ces milliaires datent principalement de l’époque des Sévères, avec une première intervention en 198, suivie d’une restauration en 212 (ou 213). Des travaux plus tardifs semblent pouvoir être mis en lien avec l’achèvement de la Strata Diocletiana à la fin du iiie s. Les milliaires montrent que cette route constituait un axe majeur entre Palmyre et les centres de la vallée de l’Oronte, ce qui lui confère d’importantes fonctions stratégiques, militaires et commerciales. Une étude préliminaire de l’état actuel de la route et de ses milliaires permet aussi de restituer l’évolution des conditions environnementales de la région entre la période romaine et l’Antiquité tardive. L’oasis de Palmyre était plus étendue que de nos jours et entourée par une bande de terres propices à l’agriculture. L’emplacement des bornes milliaires le long de la traversée de l’un des principaux oueds de la région semble indiquer la stabilité des conditions hydrographiques à l’époque romaine. Plus tard, à l’époque tardive, la région a connu une dégradation environnementale majeure qui a entraîné une érosion éolienne intensive des sols et des inondations catastrophiques.

With the increasing population, developing technology, and industry, the importance given to waste control/effective assessment studies continue with increasing momentum. The use of wastes in the production of biotechnological products is preferred due to its advantages in reducing environmental pollution, preventing nutrient and biomass losses, recycling, and decreasing costs. Citric acid (CA) is an intermediate product formed by the oxidation of carbohydrates to carbon dioxide in the Krebs cycle. This organic acid is used in many industrial areas such as pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. It is also an important organic acid in the food industry and is used as an acidifier, a stabilizer, an antioxidant, a flavor enhancer, and a preservative. Today, CA production is produced by microorganisms through fermentation. In addition, some wastes, such as molasses, glycerol, whey, olive mill wastewater, and various fruit wastes can be evaluated for use in the production of CA. This study reviewed the microbial production of CA using various wastes and some factors affecting the production.

Published: June 2022

Magnetic nanoparticles are an emerging technique that has attracted attention in recent years in nanotechnology, biomedical, electronics, environmental science, and engineering applications. Nanoparticles have optical, electrical, catalytic, and thermal properties with their supermagnetic properties, large surface area, and biocompatibility. The major benefit of using nanoparticles is that due to their size, they can be accurately oriented and can be targeted and interacted with a specific biological entity or marker. In addition, it is easy to separate the magnetic property from the aqueous solution with the application of an external magnetic field. From an environmental perspective, MNPs have been used as catalysts in the purification of whey; removal of heavy toxic metals such as Arsenic (As), Lead (Pb), and toxic pollutants such as Fluoride (F) from contaminated water; and photocatalytic degradation of dyes and pollutants in water. In this study, types of magnetic nanoparticles, synthesis methods, properties, and environmental science and engineering applications are included.

This study evaluates the impacts of machining parameters on the milling of general-purpose poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) with respect to cutting point temperature, maximum machining temperature, and surface roughness. The machining parameters used in the analysis are spindle speed (rpm), depth of cut (mm), and feed rate (mm/min). The extreme ranges of the machining parameters for the material are obtained from trial experiments. From these experiments, four values of each parameter are adopted. This yields 12 experiments, which are divided into three sets. In the first set of experiments, the depth of cut and feed rate are held constant at 0.2 mm and 25 mm/min, while the spindle speed is varied from 1000 rpm to 4000 rpm. In the second set of experiments, the spindle speed and feed rate are held constant at 1000 rpm and 25 mm/min, respectively, while the depth of cut is varied from 0.2 mm to 1.1 mm. In the last set of experiments, the spindle speed and depth of cut are held constant at 1000 rpm and 0.2 mm, respectively, as the feed rate is varied from 25 mm/min to 100 mm/min. Thermal images are obtained during milling, where the cutting point and maximum machining temperatures are obtained. The milled surfaces are then investigated for surface roughness. The chips are also collected from each experiment and used in conducting chip morphology. From the results, it is observed that to obtain the least temperatures and best surface quality, the least machining parameters should be chosen. These parameters are identified as 1000 rpm, 0.2 mm, and 25 mm/min for the spindle speed, depth of cut, and feed rate, respectively. An increase in spindle speed seems to increase the milling temperatures and surface roughness, which is attributed to the reducing chip thickness. An increase in the depth of cut does not affect the generation of chips, and the thickness is relatively constant. However, an increase in milling feed increases the chip thickness, which increases the surface roughness.

Membrane technology advancement has gained momentous consideration around the globe because of their appealing highlights, such as effectiveness, low expenses, and effective solutions for longstanding issues in alchemical industries. This study expected to incorporate graphene nanoparticles into Polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) to form nanofiltration (NF) layers using DMF (Dimethyl formamide) as solvent via DIPS (diffusion induced phase separation) technique. PVDF polymer membrane performances with varied percent (1 – 6% wt.) of graphene concentrations are studied Infrared spectral, water uptake, water contact angle, and ion rejection measurements. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis showed that the pore size is often regulated by incorporating graphene nanoparticles (80-90 nm) as compared to PVDF membranes. The PVDF membranes exhibited a relative increase in the contact angle from PVDF to PVDF-G6% i.e. 50.3° to 63.46 ± .3, thus, showing a relative increase in hydrophobicity. The higher percent of graphene (> 6% by wt.) results in nanoparticle accumulation that showed the performances of PVDF/graphene rejection possessing relatively the same results. The results confirmed that the prepared membranes possess an excellent ability to treat wastewater.

It is necessary to investigate the physical, chemical characterization and amount of RAP binder in asphalt pavement containing large amount of RAP in order to select suitable pure asphalt binder grade to blending. This research aims to investigate the rheological characteristics and estimation fatigue life of the asphalt binder extraction from two years overlay asphalt pavement. The asphalt was taking from the process of extraction and recovery. Dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) test was conducted on the recovered asphalt to calculate the different variables, complex, elastic and viscous shear modulus, complex viscosity and the phase angle. The main pavement failure modes, rutting and fatigue cracking were addressed by these output parameters of DSR. Fatigue life is related to the energy absorbed during repeated load to pavement layer. The test results indicated that the asphalt extracted from the selected sections were stiff enough to resist rutting and fatigue failure Keywords: Reclaimed asphalt pavement binder, fatigue criteria, VECD, dissipated energy, energy stiffness ratio.

Published: June 2022

Tuberculosis (TB) remains the world’s deadliest infectious disease that affects a third of the world’s population and newly infected an estimated 10 million people in 2018. The number of TB infected Nigerians ranks sixth in the world and first in Africa. Kano State has the highest Nigerian TB prevalence. I aimed to identify Paediatric TB care challenges as perceived by Kano Medical and DOT health care providers. The study design was prospective, descriptive and cross sectional involving structured questionnaire interviews of 43 healthcare providers, during TB supervision visits of 10 Health facilities in Kano. Generated data was entered, validated and analysed using the STATA 13 statistical software package. The sample size was convenient, since it is the number of all the health providers working in the facilities assigned to the author for supervision under a supervision contract with KNCV in 2017. Of the 43 respondents, there were 26 males, with a M: F ratio of 1.5: 1. Those health workers aged from 30 and 40 years constituted 58% of respondents. The staff cadre of respondents comprised of Community Health Extension Workers [CHEW] (40%), doctors (30%) and nurses (3%). Up to 51% of respondents had over 10 years health worker experience and greater than 36 months Child TB DOT care provision. The most commonly identified challenges to paediatric TB care included poor health knowledge (97.7%), poor health seeking behaviour (95.4%), poverty (95.4%), the inability of children to cough up sputum 95.4%, late presentation (90.7%), contact tracing logistics (90.7 %), patient and community factors of stigma and discrimination (86%) and poor health worker paediatric TB knowledge (70%). Perceived health worker challenges to effective Paediatric TB care were the adult orientation of the TB programme and its contact tracing logistic challenges, inadequate health worker Paediatric TB knowledge, children’s inability to cough up sputum, poverty, poor patient TB health knowledge, community stigma and discrimination, poor health seeking behaviour and late presentation.

Objective: To investigate the impact of variant histologies (VH) of urothelial carcinoma (UC) on survival outcomes after radical cystectomy (RC). Materials and methods: Data from 181 patients with UC treated with RC between January 2013 and December 2019 at a single tertiary care referral center were retrospectively accessed. All RC specimens were assigned by genitourinary dedicated pathologists. Overall survival (OS), disease-specific survival (DSS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier methodology and the Cox proportional hazards regression. Results: Of 181 patients, 43.1% (n = 78) had VH, with the most common being squamous differentiation (n = 29), followed by mixed variants (n = 18), micropapillary variant (n = 10) and other subtypes (n = 21). The median (range) follow-up was 35 (18-59) months. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis shows that median OS and DS were significantly worse for VH patients (78 vs 31 months, p = 0.038; not reached vs 42 months; p = 0.016). At 5 years, VH was associated with a 12% and 14% decrease in OS and DSS, respectively. No significant statistical difference between the two groups was reached regarding RFS. However, after adjusting for confounders, such as, demographics characteristics, comorbidities and pathological features, VH were not associated with any survival outcomes. Conclusions: Our study evidenced the high incidence of bladder cancers with VH. Although clearly associated with features of more aggressive behavior, VH had not any significant impact in survival expectancies when all confounders are adjusted in multivariate analyses.

Introduction: Novel laser technologies have been developed for the minimally invasive surgical management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The objective of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of MOSESTM technology versus the thulium fiber laser (TFL) in patients with BPH undergoing transurethral enucleation of the prostate. Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of prospectively collected data of eighty-two patients who underwent transurethral enucleation of the prostate using MOSESTM or TFL technologies from August 2020 to September 2021. Preoperative and intraoperative parameters, in addition to postoperative outcomes, were collected and analyzed. Results: Twenty patients underwent transurethral enucleation of the prostate with TFL, while 62 had MOSESTM HoLEP. No statistically significant difference in preoperative characteristics was observed between the groups. Patients in the TFL group had longer median enucleation, hemostasis, and morcellation times (p < 0.001) than those in the MOSESTM cohort. The longer morcellation time of TFL is mostly related to less visibility. The postoperative outcomes IPSS, QoL, Qmax, and post void residual (PVR), were comparable between the groups at 1, 3 and 6 months. The incidence of urge urinary incontinence (p = 0.79), stress urinary incontinence (p = 0.97), and hospital readmission rates (p = 0.1) were comparable between the two groups. Conclusions: A satisfactory safety and efficacy profile with comparable postoperative outcomes was demonstrated for both techniques; though, MOSESTM technology was superior to TFL in terms of shorter overall operative time.
