Published: June 2024

Pencemaran lingkungan menjadi permasalahan utama dalam perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan. Masalah pencemaran air menjadi salah satu akibat dan dampak dari berkembangnya ilmu pengetahuan itu sendiri. Pembahasan artikel ini menggunakan penelitian deskriptif dengan pendekatan observasi lapangan dan wawancara dengan 60 responden di wilayah Kelurahan Tomang Jakarta Barat. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui kesadaran ekologis masyarakat melalui pengetahuan dan sikap masyarakat mengenai limbah air rumah tangga yang menjadi salah satu akibat pencemaran lingkungan di wilayah Kelurahan Tomang. Pengetahuan serta sikap masyarakat terhadap limbah rumah tangga sangat diperlukan untuk langkah awal pencegahan pencemaran lingkungan khususnya pencemaran air  yang berada di saluran air maupun kali yang berpotensi mencemari air tanah yang berada di sekitarnya. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ditemukan bahwa masyarakat sebagian belum paham terkait limbah air rumah tangga serta dampaknya bagi kesehatan dan lingkungan sekitar. Penggunaan deterjen, sabun, shampo, dan minyak dalam kegiatan sehari-hari dilakukan lebih dari satu kali dalam sehari. Beberapa masyarakat yang tidak memiliki septic tank membuang limbah air rumah tangga langsung ke sungai atau kali terdekat. Upaya yang dapat dilakukan pemerintah adalah sosialisasi dan pelatihan mengenai limbah air rumah tangga serta pengolahannya sangat diperlukan untuk pengetahuan masyarakat agar tidak abai dalam penggunaan bahan-bahan yang akan mencemari lingkungan dan lebih sadar dalam menjaga lingkungan. Selain itu, diperlukan program pembangunan septic tank bagi masyarakat yang belum memilikinya, serta pembangunan sumur resapan untuk penampungan air hujan yang bisa digunakan untuk kegiatan sehari-hari.

Stock valuation before and after the COVID-19 pandemic: Free Cash Flow to Firm (FCFF) and relative valuation approach with Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) valuation method
Authors: Diputra Virta Dimas Catur , Rikumahu Brady
Published: June 2024

Purpose: This study compares the valuation of hospital companies in the healthcare sector in Indonesia before and during the Covid-19 pandemic on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). Global crises, including the Covid-19 pandemic, have had a significant impact on stock prices in the IDX and have affected company valuations. Therefore, it is important to study the valuation of stocks in the healthcare sector, especially in hospital companies that are directly related to the pandemic. This research is expected to provide important lessons about stock valuation in the future if a similar phenomenon occurs.
Method: This research focuses on the period before Covid-19 and the period during the peak of Covid-19, specifically in July 2021. This study compared the stock valuations of three hospital companies: HEAL, MIKA, and SILO. The valuation methods used are Discounted Cash Flow using the Free Cash Flow to Firm model and Relative Valuation using PBV and PER.
Results: From the research results, it is known that there has been an increase in the intrinsic value (value per share) of SILO, MIKA, and HEAL from the period before Covid-19 and after the peak of Covid-19 in either pessimistic, moderate, and optimistic scenarios. This increase in intrinsic value is followed by an increase in share prices. MIKA’s valuation did not change in the three scenarios, whereas SILO and HEAL changed only in moderate scenarios. In the relative valuation analysis, there was an increase in PER for SILO, HEAL, and MIKA before and after the peak of Covid-19.

Authors: Sahatatua Richart , Setiady Tri , Astawa I Ketut , Ansari Teuku Syahrul
Published: June 2024

Purpose: This study examines the role of investment law in Indonesia's economic recovery efforts, particularly under Law No. 25 of 2007. Indonesia, as a developing country, emphasizes high economic growth as a measure of success in enhancing societal welfare. Investment, through capital investment, is crucial for increasing capital stock, production capacity, and economic growth, thereby creating jobs.
Methodology: The study uses a normative legal research method with an analytical descriptive approach, analyzing regulations related to Law No. 25/2007, relevant literature, and data from the internet.
Results: The findings indicate that legal certainty significantly influences investment decisions. A country with clear, fair, and well-enforced laws attracts more investors, which is essential for sustainable economic growth. Recent studies highlight the benefits and challenges of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Indonesia.
Contribution: The government's efforts to improve the investment climate include revising regulations, enhancing legal enforcement, and developing infrastructure. These measures aim to provide a conducive environment for both domestic and foreign investors. However, continuous legal reforms are necessary to address implementation challenges and ensure that investment laws remain relevant and effective. The study concludes that investment is vital for Indonesia's economic advancement and underscores the need for ongoing improvements in legal and regulatory frameworks to maintain investor confidence and drive economic development.

Authors: Sabirin Sabirin , Elliyana Ela , Rosmiati Rosmiati
Published: June 2024

Purpose: The transformation from e-commerce to social commerce has had a significant impact on consumer behaviour in Indonesia. This study aims to analyse the influence of local cultural values, perceived security and privacy, interaction between consumers and influencers, use of social commerce, and marketing strategies through social media on the adoption and use of social commerce.
Method: Data was collected through an online questionnaire from 300 respondents and analysed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method.
Result: The results showed that all hypotheses were accepted. Local cultural values, perceived security and privacy, interaction with influencers, use of social commerce, and marketing strategies through social media significantly influence the adoption and use of social commerce. Local cultural values have a significant influence on social commerce adoption, while perceived security and privacy increase consumer trust. Interaction with influencers increases consumer engagement, which in turn influences purchase decisions. The use of social commerce encourages a consumptive lifestyle among young consumers. Marketing strategies through social media are effective in increasing consumer purchase intentions. This research provides insights for businesses to develop more effective strategies to increase the adoption and usage of social commerce in Indonesia.
Research of salt tolerance and body color of bester
Authors: Zuevskiy S. E. , Filippova O. P.
Published: June 2024

The aim: establish the possibility of keeping and growing in sea water with a salinity of more than 18‰ of different age groups of bester on marine fish farms. To investigate the body coloration of the breeders and offspring of the Bester hybrid.

Methods used: the research was carried out in 2004–2005 in the Republic of Korea according to standard methods used in fisheries research.

Novelty: data were obtained on the transfer of juveniles and yearlings of Bester to the sea water with a salinity of 28–29‰. Research confirmed the fundamental possibility, as well as the prospects for rearing juvenile bester in freshwater recirculating systems with the subsequent transfer of fish to sea water. Various bester’s shades of skin color are described.

Result: as a result, the average weights of bester juveniles were established to start the transition to salt water. Analysis of the data showed that yearlings switch to a high salinity of 23–24‰ with a survival rate of more than 73%, and juveniles with low survival rate after 18‰. Ten Bester lines were identified, differing in skin color and fin shape.

Practical significance: the experiment already has practical results in the Republic of Korea. Having sufficient resources of salty waters (the Baltic, Black, Caspian and Azov Seas), Russia has prerequisites for the successful cultivation of sturgeon in sea water. The connection of the offspring’s body color and its mother has been established, as well as its diversity depending on the places where sturgeons are cultivating.
About the fertility of pink salmon Iturup Island
Authors: Elnikov A. N. , Uglova T. Yu. , Zelennikov O. V.
Published: June 2024

The purpose of the work is to present data for the last 15 years and analyze the fecundity of pink salmon at the present stage of its natural and hatchery reproduction on the island Iturup.

The research material was based on the results of biological analysis of pink salmon breeders running to spawn in the basins of Prostor and Kurilsky bays (Iturup Island, Sakhalin region) in July-September 2008–2022. Methods used: standard methods of biological analysis, descriptive statistics methods.

Results: it was established that over the past 15 years there has been a trend towards a decrease in the weight of female pink salmon. The value of absolute fecundity during this period varied from 289 to 3568 oocytes, and on average, with one exception, ranged from 1277 to 1640 oocytes. Fecundity was positively but weakly correlated with the length and weight of females within each of the annual samples, and the reliability of this relationship was achieved due to the volume of the samples. The relationship between the fecundity and weight was stronger than that between the fecundity and the length of fish. Average fecundity values were closely correlated with the average weight of females, and, therefore, as in the case of fish weight, in the period from 2008 to 2022 there was a trend toward a decrease in average fecundity values.

Practical significance: we studied the fertility of female pink salmon from the only large commercial stock in Russia, formed through natural and hatchery reproduction.

Authors: Klepikovskiy R. N. , Ivshin V. A. , Trofimov A. G.
Published: June 2024

The aim of the paper is to identify the features of distribution of cetaceans in ice-free areas of the Barents Sea and adjacent waters in August-November and to characterize their habitat conditions (abiotic factors, distribution relative to mass fish species and macroplankton).

The material of the study was the data collected by the Polar branch of VNIRO during the joint RussianNorwegian ecosystem surveys.

Methods: geoprocessing and mapping of the studied parameters, comparative and statistical (principal component and correlation) analysis of the data.

Results: Cetaceans were mainly observed in the western Barents Sea and distributed in waters with depths of from 23 to 2294 m, at temperatures of –1.9…10.7 °C and salinities of 33.0–35.2, the weighted averages of these parameters were 265 m, 3.1 °C and 34.7 respectively. Minke whales, fin whales, humpback whales, whitebeaked dolphins, killer whales, and porpoises were observed in waters with wide ranges of temperature and salinity, while blue whales and sperm whales were observed in waters with narrow ranges of these parameters. The lowest weighted average water temperature (0.3 °C) and salinity (34.4) were typical of humpback whale. Minke whale, fin whale, humpback whale and white-beaked dolphin had the largest overlap in their distribution with that of possible preys. Statistical analysis showed that priority preys for these cetaceans could be capelin and polar cod for the studied period. In addition, one of the possible preys for baleen whales was also macroplankton, and for the white-beaked dolphin — cod, blue whiting and redfishes.

Practical significance: The results of this study can be used in studying the ecology of cetaceans in the Barents Sea, in assessing their impact on stocks of commercial fish species, as well as in ecosystem modeling.
Effects of traffic noise on calling activity of Aplastodiscus leucopygius (Anura, Hylidae)
Authors: Azevedo Cezila Beatriz , Rebouças Raoni , Sabino Lisboa Cybele
Published: June 2024

Advertisement calls are the main communication form of anurans, and other individuals can use it to evaluate several aspects of the calling individual. In this context, environmental disturbances, such as traffic noise, can potentially affect this recognition. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the response of Aplastodiscus leucopygius to traffic noise in a fragment of Atlantic Forest within the city of São Paulo. The experimentation consisted of recording the calling individual previously, during and after an exposure to urban noise. After that, individuals were measured to evaluate the Scaled Mass Index (SMI), and individual and environmental temperatures were taken. Also, considering that individuals of this species present harmonic shifting, we tried to evaluate which factors (individual, acoustic, or environmental) are associated with this phenomenon. We observed that the individuals showed an increase in call activity after exposure to traffic noise, but none of the evaluated aspects here could explain the harmonic shifting in their calls. Considering that this increasing on call activity also means an increasing of individual’s expense of energy, traffic noise is potentially harmful to the communication of A. leucopygius and, consequently, to its permanence in the site.
The lateral stripe – a reliable way for software assisted individual identification for Hyla arborea
Authors: Lukanov Simeon , Kolev Andrey , Dyugmedzhiev Angel , Slavchev Miroslav
Published: June 2024

Traditional mark-recapture methods for amphibians and reptiles involve the application of invasive physical markers, such as toe clipping. Photographic identification methods are non-invasive alternative that use natural colouration of individuals for inexpensive, reliable identification. The relatively small species of the Hylidae family are susceptible to toe clipping – so dorsal, ventral, or leg patterns have been used in studies on different hylid species. The present study aims to test the usefulness of the lateral stripe in the Common tree frog Hyla arborea in software-assisted image recognition, which would allow for a reliable and time-efficient individual identification. A total of 258 adult tree frogs from a pond near the village of Oshtava, SW Bulgaria, were captured by hand in twelve sessions throughout the spring (April-May) of 2022 and 2023. The right and left side of each frog was photographed and the animals were released at the site of capture. Images were loaded into Hotspotter – free software for image recognition that has been demonstrated to work very well for several amphibian species. Results revealed 108 recaptures of 46 individual tree frogs (including 11 tree frogs captured more than twice and three recaptures between years). Only 12% of all frogs had similar right and left lateral stripes, with the others displaying significant variations. This study highlights both the applicability of the lateral stripe for individual recognition in this species and the need for consistency in image processing.
The Discovery and Analysis of PFAS (‘Forever Chemicals’) in Human Blood and Biological Materials
Authors: Travis Anthony S.
Published: June 2024

This paper reviews the development of analytical techniques used prior to the early 1980s in the identification of organofluorine compounds in human blood. The compounds of interest are industrial products, the so-called Forever Chemicals, which are stable long-chain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that are highly resistant to breakdown. Because of their special properties they have been used since the 1950s in a wide range of commercial and domestic products. Academic research in the 1960s and 1970s that originally focused on fluoride in dentistry and human health led to the finding that PFAS were present in the blood of residents of several cities in the United States. This, and concerns over their toxic properties, encouraged industrial research into analytical methods for their detection. Notably, and because long-chain PFAS are nonvolatile, special techniques were developed for analysis by gas chromatography.

Published: June 2024

The task of ensuring worker safety in underground coal mines has never been simple. It has always been challenging to ensure worker safety in underground coal mines. Coal miners are seriously injured or killed as a result of numerous fatal and non-fatal accidents all over the world. Accidents occur as a result of lack of monitoring of mining areas and failure to implement proper safety measures. In this review, the coal miner's smart wearable safety device is implemented. A smart wearable safety device that will monitor the miner's health and provides precautionary measures for the miner's safety has been developed with the advent of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Integrating smart wearable safety devices with various health sensors such as a pulse rate sensor, temperature sensor, blood oxygen sensor, gas sensor, and camera, and then connecting it to Node MCU, and the internet enhances the safety of coal miners. Sensors constantly transmit sensor data to the cloud, and if an unusual situation arises, it notifies the responsible person in the control room as well as the miners. Since deep underground mining is especially susceptible to toxic gases, low levels of oxygen, and hazardous gases, the MQ gas sensor family can detect them. The proposed system is primarily used to improve working conditions inside coal mines and to ensure workers' safety.

As hospitalizações relacionadas ao estrabismo constituem um tema de crescente interesse na saúde ocular, refletindo não apenas a complexidade dessa condição oftalmológica, mas também suas potenciais ramificações clínicas. O estrabismo, caracterizado pela falta de alinhamento dos olhos, pode variar em gravidade e causar impactos significativos na visão e na qualidade de vida dos indivíduos afetados. A necessidade de intervenção hospitalar muitas vezes surge para correção cirúrgica ou tratamento de complicações associadas, destacando a importância do acompanhamento médico especializado e da pesquisa contínua para melhorar os resultados clínicos e reduzir as incidências hospitalares relacionadas a essa condição. A avaliação da epidemiologia do estrabismo é fundamental para compreender a prevalência, incidência e distribuição dessa condição oftalmológica na população. Esses dados não apenas fornecem uma visão clara da magnitude do problema de saúde pública, mas também orientam políticas de saúde, alocação de recursos e estratégias de prevenção e intervenção. O objetivo deste trabalho foi traçar o perfil epidemiológico das internações causadas por mioma uterino no período de 2019 a 2023, com intuito de identificar flutuações na prevalência e populações mais vulneráveis para a prevenção e controle desta enfermidade. Este é um estudo de séries temporais, que usou dados do Sistema de Informações Hospitalares (SIH) do DATASUS. Essa fonte abrangente oferece uma visão detalhada das internações causadas por miomas uterinos no Brasil. Neste estudo, observamos uma redução de 3% nas internações por estrabismo no Brasil ao longo do período analisado. O Sudeste destacou-se como a região com o maior número de internações e também com os maiores custos hospitalares associados à condição. Identificamos que mulheres brancas na faixa etária de 5 a 6 anos, foram os principais afetados pelo estrabismo, representando um grupo significativo entre as internações registradas. Essas descobertas são fundamentais para orientar estratégias de saúde que visem melhorar a qualidade de vida dos pacientes afetados pelo estrabismo, além de otimizar o uso dos recursos hospitalares e reduzir custos associados ao tratamento da condição em diferentes regiões do Brasil.

O esqueleto humano pode apresentar diversas variações que ocasionalmente necessitam de distinção de uma variação patológica, o osso esterno é uma das partes com variações frequentes vistas em imagens, necropsias ou em esqueletos secos e uma das variações deste osso é a presença do forame esternal, localizado tanto no corpo como no processo xifoide ou em ambos. Este forame é uma variação anatômica que tem sido bem descrito nos aspectos morfológicos, risco de utilização inadequada na prática da acupuntura e nas complicações da punção através deste. O objetivo do nosso estudo foi analisar em uma Coleção Osteológica da Faculdade de Medicina da FAP-Araripina (PE), a prevalência deste forame, sua localização e relacionar sua presença com o dimorfismo sexual. Utilizamos uma amostra de 250 esternos secos de adultos, sendo 160 do sexo masculino e 90 do sexo feminino. Classificamos os esternos em quatro tipos de acordo com a presença ou não do forame esternal. Tipo 1, forame ausente; Tipo 2, forame presente no corpo; Tipo 3, forame presente no processo xifoide e Tipo 4, forame presente tanto no corpo como no processo xifoide. Após análise dos dados, obtivemos os seguintes resultados: em 92,8% dos esternos o forame esteve ausente (Tipo 1). O Tipo 2 foi encontrado em 3,6% dos casos, seguidos pelo Tipo 3 com 2,8% e o Tipo 4 com apenas 0,8%. No sexo masculino o forame esternal foi mais frequente. Diante do exposto, faz-se necessário a realização de mais estudos em nossa população, devido à grande área territorial do Brasil e a grande miscigenação existente.
supresión de las facultades de teología y derecho canónico en la universidad pública en el siglo XIX
Authors: Martínez Torres Francisco Miguel
Published: June 2024

En el siglo XIX, la secularización en España conllevó tensiones entre la Iglesia y el Estado, que fueron debidas por cambiantes relaciones, siendo la Ilustración y el Liberalismo causantes fundamentales de un proceso de cambio y modernización. La presencia de la Teología en la universidad pública generó debates sobre su relación con la ciencia y el mundo. Los diferentes planes de estudios y el análisis del Concordato en 1851 que suprimía las facultades de Teología y de Cánones, afectaron a la enseñanza y a la conexión entre la Iglesia y la sociedad, sin solución a alternativas moderadas, dejando un impacto e aislamiento de la Iglesia en la Universidad. El surgimiento del anticlericalismo moderno, debido a tensiones entre la Iglesia y el Estado, la revolución y la secularización, fue potenciado por corrientes filosóficas como el krausismo, el darwinismo, el marxismo y junto con la masonería, serían los principales propagadores del anticlericalismo y el indiferentismo religioso.La inclusión de la Teología y el Derecho Canónico en las universidades públicas sería compatible jurídicamente por los acuerdos firmados entre Estado Español y la Santa Sede, con la perspectiva de Bolonia, enriqueciendo a las ciencias humanísticas, el diálogo interdisciplinario y compresión de la sociedad, desde una perspectiva académica y civil.
atribuição de uma causa de nulidade matrimonial a um juiz único
Authors: Carvalho Conde Bonifácio Luís
Published: June 2024

Com a reforma matrimonial levada a cabo pelo Papa Francisco, por meio da qual se introduziu algumas novidades concernentes a atribuição de uma causa de nulidade matrimonial à um juiz único (c. 1673 § 4), algumas dioceses moçambicanas – que ao longo de muito tempo não podiam conhecer causas de nulidade matrimonial essencialmente por escassez de pessoal formado em Direito Canónico – optaram por essa fórmula. Neste artículo apresenta-se o procedimento seguido pelo Bispado da Beira, a mais recente diocese moçambicana a constituir um tribunal unipessoal à luz do c. 1673, depois de ter permanecido mais de 40 anos sem poder administrar a justiça aos fiéis de maneira efetiva. Pretende-se, a partir deste exemplo concreto, demonstrar como tal normativa pode ser aplicada numa Igreja particular e quais serão suas implicações para o futuro da atividade dos tribunais eclesiásticos.

Abstract Background Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has established itself as the preferential strategy to approach severe aortic stenosis. Information on procedural improvements and nationwide results obtained with the technique throughout the past decade are unknown. Objectives To assess the temporal variation of the demographic profile, procedural characteristics, and in-hospital outcomes of patients undergoing TAVI procedures at the Rede D’Or São Luiz. Methods Observational registry comprising 29 national institutions, comparing the characteristics of the TAVI procedures performed from 2012 to 2017 (Group 1) to those performed from 2018 to 2023 (Group 2). The statistical significance level adopted was p < 0.05. Results This study assessed 661 patients, 95 in Group 1 and 566 in Group 2, with a mean age of 81.1 years. Group 1 patients had a higher prevalence of New York Heart Association functional class III or IV and STS risk score > 8%. In addition, they more often underwent general anesthesia, transesophageal echocardiographic monitoring, and access through femoral dissection. Group 2 patients had a higher success rate of the TAVI procedure (95.4% versus 89.5%; p = 0.018), lower mortality (3.9% versus 11.6%; p = 0.004), and less often needed permanent pacemaker implantation (8.5% versus 17.9%; p = 0.008). Conclusions The 10-year temporal trends analysis of the TAVIDOR Registry shows a reduction in patients’ clinical complexity over time. Furthermore, the advance to minimalistic implantation techniques, added to the technological evolution of the devices, may have contributed to the favorable outcomes observed among those whose implantation occurred in the last 5 years studied.

Resumo Fundamento O implante percutâneo de bioprótese valvar aórtica (TAVI) consolidou-se como opção terapêutica da estenose aórtica de grau importante. Dados sobre as características evolutivas dos procedimentos e dos resultados obtidos com a técnica ao longo da última década, em escala nacional, são desconhecidos. Objetivos Analisar a tendência temporal referente ao perfil demográfico, características dos procedimentos e desfechos hospitalares de pacientes submetidos a TAVI na Rede D’Or São Luiz. Métodos Registro observacional envolvendo 29 instituições nacionais. Comparou-se características dos procedimentos realizados de 2012 a 2017 (Grupo 1) e de 2018 a 2023 (Grupo 2). Foram considerados significantes os resultados com valor de p < 0,05. Resultados Foram analisados 661 casos, 95 pertencentes ao Grupo 1 e 566 ao Grupo 2. A média de idade foi 81,1 anos. Observou-se no Grupo 1 maior prevalência de pacientes em classe funcional III ou IV e escore de risco > 8%. Foi mais frequente o emprego de anestesia geral, monitorização ecocardiográfica transesofágica e via de acesso por dissecção. Maior taxa de sucesso do procedimento (95,4% versus 89,5%; p = 0,018) foi aferida em implantes efetivados a partir de 2018, assim como menor mortalidade (3,9% versus 11,6%; p = 0,004) e necessidade de marcapasso definitivo (8,5% versus 17,9%; p = 0,008). Conclusões A análise temporal de 10 anos do Registro TAVIDOR demonstra uma queda na complexidade clínica dos pacientes. Além disso, o avanço para técnicas de implante minimalistas, somadas à evolução tecnológica dos dispositivos, podem ter contribuído para desfechos favoráveis dentre aqueles cujo implante ocorreu no último quinquênio.

Abstract Background Residual venous congestion is a major contributor to readmission of patients with heart failure, and the venous excess ultrasound (VExUS) score is a potentially useful tool to evaluate systemic congestion. Objectives To investigate the association between VExUS score before hospital discharge among patients with heart failure and the risk of readmission due to acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) within 90 days after discharge. Methods This prospective cohort study enrolled adults with signs and symptoms of ADHF, left ventricular ejection fraction of 40% or below (heart failure with reduced ejection fraction), New York Heart Association functional class II to IV symptoms, and clinical evidence of venous congestion necessitating intravenous diuretics. Just prior to discharge, we conducted VExUS score evaluation. The primary outcome was a composite endpoint of readmission or emergency visits due to ADHF within 90 days following hospital discharge. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Results The cohort comprised 49 individuals, 11 (22.4%) of whom experienced the primary outcome. At discharge, 34.7% of participants had VExUS score 2 or 3. Patients with VExUS 2 and 3 had a higher proportion of the primary outcome when compared with patients with VExUS of 0 (35.3% versus 9%, p = 0.044). Conclusions A significant proportion of patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction admitted for ADHF presented clinical and ultrasound signs of residual congestion at discharge. Patients with VExUS score of 2 or 3 at the time of hospital discharge were found to be at higher risk of readmissions or emergency visits due to ADHF after 90 days.
