Authors: Agustiansyah Muhammad Feizal , Trihartono Agus , Sunarko Bagus Sigit
Published: June 2024

Tradition is an aspect of culture that is preserved and passed down from generation to generation. Tradition is also known as a concept that defines the identity and uniqueness of a society, as well as being a source of security. Tradition is something that is praised, glorified, and associated with something good in a particular custom or area and is considered sacred. However, in Bhutan there is a tradition called the Bomena tradition. This tradition is also a cycle of sexual exploitation that society cannot break. Various protection efforts have been carried out by the Bhutanese Government, NGOS, and even local community organizations, but this tradition is still carried out today. By using the Buzan concept of human security and securitization, this research wants to analyze the process of securitization of the Bomena tradition, which initially became a tradition in society until it became a dangerous traditional practice that became a threat to human security in Bhutan.

Published: June 2024

Introduction: Lung cancer has the highest incidence and mortality rate, which contributes to approximately 2.2 million cancer cases (11.4%) of total cancers worldwide. More than 70% of lung cancer cases present in the late, non-operable stage. Anemia is one of the conditions that could precipitate cancers and affect the patient’s clinical presentation, including tissue oxygenation, organ function, and quality of life. It could also increase the risk of bleeding, post-operative mortality, and iron absorption rate in the case of ineffective erythropoiesis. All of these could affect the prognostic factor of the cancer. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the severity of anemia on overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with platinum-based chemotherapy.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study involving 80 subjects of NSCLC patients treated with platinum-based chemotherapy from January 2018 to December 2020. Subjects were divided into two groups (39 patients in the normal group and 41 patients in the anemia group).
Results: The mean pre-treatment hemoglobin (Hb) was 10.55 ± 1.25 g/dL in NSCLC patients with anemia. The bone metastasis, OS, and PFS values of the normal and anemia groups were significant (p = 0.008; p = 0.002; p = 0.27). Anemia was significantly related to OS (r = 0.146, p = 0.000) and PFS (r = 0.264, p = 0.000) in NSCLC patients treated with platinum-based chemotherapy.
Conclusion: Higher severity of anemia can reduce OS and PFS in NSCLC patients treated with platinum-based chemotherapy.

Authors: Putri Kadek Sri Adi , Kusumawardani Ida Ayu Jasminarti Dwi , Sriwidyani Ni Putu , Komalasari Ni Luh Gede Yoni
Published: June 2024

Introduction: Giant cell carcinoma (GCC) of the lung is a subtype of lung cancer, undifferentiated non-small cell carcinoma, in which there are no features of small cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, or squamous cell carcinoma. Due to its aggressive clinical manifestations and peculiar pathological features, GCC of the lung is a highly anaplastic variant of bronchogenic carcinoma.
Case: A 45-year-old woman was clinically suspected of having a lung malignancy, and a biopsy of the right lower lobe pleura and parietal pleura was performed. The histopathology showed hypercellular tumor cell clusters, forming a syncytia-like sheet pattern. Tumor cells were pleomorphic and contained many giant cells that confirmed the diagnosis of GCC. The patient was diagnosed with GCC of the lung, stage IVB, Karnofsky scores 50-60% with malignant pleural effusion, peritoneal metastases, bone metastases, and grade 3 malignant ascites with bacterial peritonitis. The patient passed away due to septic shock caused by bacterial peritonitis. GCC of the lung is one of the aggressive types of lung cancer. GCC has an unusual tendency to metastasize to the gastrointestinal tract. In this case, the patient had an enlarged abdomen since it was known that she had a malignancy that had continued to grow. From the ascitic fluid analysis, a carcinoma was found to be seeding.
Conclusion: The prognosis of GCC of the lung is generally poor. Our case was diagnosed with GCC of the lung that had already spread to the bone, peritoneal, and had grade ascites. The patient's survival rate was generally poor, and she passed away due to bacterial peritonitis without having received any therapy for her cancer.

Authors: Yanti Budi , Bakhtiar Bakhtiar , Azizi Jamalul
Published: June 2024

Introduction: Tuberculous pleurisy (TP) is the pleural inflammation caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) and a rare manifestation of childhood tuberculosis (TB). It is characterized by a large amount of fibrin, sticky adhesion, and even calcification. Pleural adhesion can significantly affect respiratory function and quality of life. Therefore, early detection, prompt therapy, and drainage of pleural effusion are crucial for preventing pleural adhesion. This case report is intended to enhance clinician awareness regarding avoiding and managing pleural thickening in TP.
Case: A 14-year-old child had shortness of breath, fever for 2 weeks, cough, loss of appetite, and no smoking history. The laboratory results showed anemia and non-reactive human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV), analyzed pleural fluid monocyte showed 72%, and glucose 58%. Adenosine deaminase (ADA) analysis showed a rise above 61 U/L. The tuberculin skin test was negative. The chest X-ray showed right pleural effusion, the chest ultrasonography revealed a right hemithorax echo-free plane, and the computed tomography (CT) scan showed right pleural effusion and pulmonary fibrosis. The thoracoscopy view showed fibrinous adhesion-producing tenting and vascularization in the base without multiple nodules. Water-sealed drainage was performed and produced approximately 3,450 ml with serous xanthochromia. Then the patient was diagnosed with TP and treated with anti-TB drugs and steroids.
Conclusion: Typical TP with fibrinous adhesions is an infrequent condition. This case report highlighted the importance of extensive screening using a thoracoscopy view and ADA analysis in patients with TP, especially in countries with a high TB burden.

Published: June 2024

Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) is the third-leading cause of death worldwide. COPD treatment is essential to manage and attenuate the progression of symptoms. Home-based telemonitoring interventions showed several promises in increasing COPD patients’ quality of life (QoL) and outcomes. However, various results were obtained in recent studies, making a secondary research presence needed to establish clear risks and benefits. This study aimed to analyze the effect of telemonitoring on QoL among COPD patients.
Methods: This study used the Preferred Reporting Items of Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) reporting guidelines on several databases from February until April 2023. We performed screening and selection, followed by data extraction and quantitative analysis with Review Manager 5.4 Software. The risk of bias assessment was performed using the RoB 2.0 Cochrane tool.
Results: Ten randomized controlled trials (RCTs), mostly low-risk of bias, were included. We found a reduction in Saint George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) score (mean difference (MD) -1.13 [95% CI -4.23, 1.97; p = 0.47]) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) for anxiety (MD-0.16 [95% Cl -0.96, 0.63; p = 0.69]). There was no significant effect of HADS on depression and EuroQol-5 Dimension (EQ-5D).
Conclusion: This study suggests that telemonitoring improves QoL in COPD patients, especially for SGRQ and HADS anxiety scores. We suggest a larger number of studies to evaluate the effect of telemonitoring on depression and anxiety. We also encourage the integration of telemedicine with the present care system to achieve the best beneficial outcome for patients.
Pregnancy-Related Disorders and Intrauterine Impaired Lung Development
Authors: Zulhadji Harry Agustio , Yunus Faisal , Rasmin Menaldi , Saroyo Yudianto Budi , Amien Bagus Radityo
Published: June 2024

Various pregnancy-related disorders are known to affect fetal lung development negatively. During pregnancy, chronic nutrition and/or oxygen limitation is known to impede lung maturation and induce airway and lung abnormalities. Structural abnormalities and reduced lung function may be evident immediately after birth, persist, or develop with age. The expansion of the fetal lung, fetal breath movements, fetal lung growth, alveolarization, blood-air barrier, extracellular matrix (ECM), airways, surfactant system, and lung immune function are all affected by nutritional limitations during pregnancy. Gestational hypoxia disrupts fetal lung development, which manifests as morphological and functional pulmonary abnormalities. Additionally, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), preeclampsia (PE), exposure to air pollution, and smoking are known to interfere with embryonic lung development. Birth defects, such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia, as well as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), can be caused by abnormalities in pregnancy. Adequate nutrition, avoidance of smoking, and watchful monitoring and intervention during pregnancy should be promoted to prevent chronic lung disease of the newborn, child, and adult.

Published: June 2024

Liver cancer is a heterogeneous disease and is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths worldwide. Hepatocellular carcinoma, comprising approximately 90% of cases, presents a formidable challenge with a less than 20% 5-year survival rate despite recent treatment advancements. The impediments of drug resistance and off-target effects underscore the critical need for innovative and efficacious therapies. Harnessing the growing understanding of RNA function offers a promising avenue to address previously "undruggable" proteins, transcripts, and genes. Various RNAs demonstrate the potential to selectively act on these targets, expanding the scope of therapeutic interventions. With diverse regulatory roles in cancer pathways, RNAs emerge as valuable targets and tools for anticancer therapy development. This article provides an in-depth exploration of current RNA-based therapies, elucidates their mechanisms of action, and discusses their combinations with chemo-/immunotherapies in clinical trials for hepatocellular carcinoma.
Sub-acute pathological effects of calcium carbide as an artificial fruit ripening agent on various organs of albino mice
Authors: Ajileye Ayodeji Blessing , Ogunbinu Oluwapelumi Abigail , Naomi Alanza Michael
Published: June 2024

Introduction. Calcium carbide is the most commercially used artificial fruit ripener because it is inexpensive to produce though, involving the use of hazardous elements and can easily be purchased in local markets. This study aimed at investigating the architectural changes of organs extracted from albino mice fed with fruits that were ripened with calcium carbide. Material and methods. About 40 mice of both males and females, weighing between 18g-25g were randomly used for this study. They were divided into five (5) groups, made up of six mice namely Groups 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 respectively.  A set of unripe mature pawpaw and banana were ripened with calcium carbide (CCRP & CCRB) and were fed orally to groups 3 and 5 respectively for four weeks with water. Another set of the unripe mature pawpaw and banana were ripened naturally (NRP & NRB) without subjecting them to any artificial ripening processes and were fed orally to groups 2 and 4 mice respectively for four weeks with water. Rat feed and water were also given to the control group 1.
Results. Increased body weights were observed in the calcium carbide ripened banana (CCRB) treated group when compared to the other groups (control and calcium carbide ripened pawpaw). Histological sections revealed increased numbers of inflammatory cells, presence of collapsed epithelial layer, ruptured muscle, disorganized clara cells, aggregation of fibroblasts in the lungs; mild interstitial edema in the brain between the cardiocytes: mononuclear cell infiltration with cloudy swelling of the renal epithelium; dendritic cells in the brain.
Discussion and conclusions. According to this study, eating fruits that are ripened with calcium carbide has adverse related health effects thus negatively altering the histological architecture of the organs such as the lungs, liver, kidney, heart as well as the brain. Fruit vendors must therefore use caution when applying calcium carbide and adhere to international regulations that strictly limit its use.

Published: June 2024

This research presents a comprehensive case study on medium-term load forecasting (MTLF) in the intricate dynamics of Pakistan’s power sector, Gujranwala Electric Power Company (GEPCO). The time horizon for MTLF ranges from a few weeks to one year and it has applications in energy management and planning. The deep-learning networks (DLNs), proposed in recent years, have a black-box nature, which reduces the interpretability of the results. Therefore, in the proposed study, a mathematical model, Power Market Survey (PMS), is implemented to forecast month-ahead load for GEPCO division dataset. The historical load data, incorporating relevant features such as growth rate, load factor, schedule of load shedding, etc., are fed as input to the proposed model for efficient load forecasting. The PMS is trained with a bottom-up approach and its performance is validated through mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), mean absolute error (MAE), root mean square error (RMSE), mean square error (MSE), and confidence interval with 95% of probability. The results demonstrate that the proposed model performed well while incorporating the effects of planned load shedding as compared to the case in which load-shedding effects are neglected. Moreover, while incorporating the load-shedding effects, the proposed model recorded MAPE and MAE as 11.91% and 0.22, respectively, for the fiscal year 2022–2023. However, when the proposed model is implemented while neglecting the effects of load shedding, the MAPE and MAE of 13.64% and 0.24 are recorded by the PMS technique, correspondingly.

Authors: Puspa Wangi Intan
Published: June 2024

Pelabuhan merupakan salah satu infrastruktur vital dalam perannya sebagai pintu gerbang dalam kegiatan perekonomian. Namun sayangnya, pelabuhan rentan terekspos oleh bencana, baik bencana alam maupun non-alam. Salah satu contohnya adalah bencana gempabumi dan tsunami yang menghantam Palu Sulawesi pada 2018 mengakibatkan lumpuhnya Pelabuhan Pantoloan yang merupakan pelabuhan terbesar di Provinsi Sulawesi Tengah. Untuk itulah, perlu adanya kesadaran meningkatkan resiliensi pelabuhan sebagai upaya mitigasi bencana di masa depan. Metodologi yang digunakan adalah dengan model dinamika sistem dengan menggunakan software VENSIM. Penelitian ini diawali dengan identifikasi besarnya kerusakan akibat bencana kemudian dilakukan survei sekunder untuk mengetahui upaya pemulihan yang dilakukan untuk mengembalikan performa pelabuhan. Performa yang ditinjau adalah kapasitas container crane yang bekerja di pelabuhan. Kemudian dilakukan uji skenario. Skenario pertama adalah robustness yaitu meningkatkan kemampuan untuk menahan tingkat kegagalan tertentu dalam bentuk tanggul laut (sea wall). Skenario kedua adalah rapidity yaitu meningkatkan kemampuan untuk mencapai tujuan secara tepat waktu untuk mencegah kerugian di masa depan dalam bentuk kesiapsiagaan bencana di pelabuhan. Dan skenario ketiga adalah penggabungan antara skenario robustness+rapidity. Hasil pada pemodelan base case adalah pelabuhan baru bisa kembali normal seperti sedia kala adalah pada hari ke-140 pascabencana dengan kerugian total sebesar 16.872 box. Angka ini setara kerugian sebesar nyaris 50% per harinya. Sedangkan pada kondisi robustness+rapidity merupakan skenario terbaik dimana pelabuhan berfungsi normal pada hari ke-60 dan total kerugian hanya 9.467 box.

Havran, Suriye’nin güneyinde bulunan, bir kısmı da Ürdün’ün kuzeyini kapsayan sınırları kesin bir biçimde belirlenemeyen geniş bir bölgedir. Lav birikintilerinin üzerinde bulunan Havran Ovası, zahire yetiştirmede en verimli bölgelerden birisidir. Havran’ın, yeterli seviyede yağış alan bölgeleri hububat tarımı için oldukça verimli olup, batı sahasındaki ovalar Suriye’nin adeta tahıl ambarıdır. Bu yüzdendir ki, eski çağlardan beri iskân sahası olan Havran, tarih boyunca birçok kavmin meskûn olduğu bir yer olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Havran, gerek İslam öncesi dönemde gerek İslamiyet sonrasında çok sayıda devletin hâkimiyetine girmiştir. 1516 yılında Yavuz Sultan Selim’in Merc-i Dâbık Savaşı’nda Memlûkleri yenmesiyle Suriye bölgesi hızlı bir şekilde Osmanlı yönetimine girmiştir. Bu süreçte Havran da Osmanlı topraklarına katılmıştır. Bu dönemde Şam Sancağı’na bağlı bir kaza olarak varlığını sürdüren Havran, XIX. yüzyılın ortasına kadar bu statüsünü korumuştur.
Havran Kazası’nın 1570 yılındaki nüfus yapısını ele aldığımız bu çalışmada, klasik dönem Osmanlı tarihi için önemli belge türlerinden olan tahrir defterleri temel kaynağımızı oluşturmaktadır. Çünkü Osmanlı’da vergi veren nüfus bu defterlerde kayıt altına alınmıştır. Bu bağlamda 1570 yılına ait olan 491 numaralı tahrir defteri esas alınarak Havran Kazası’nın nüfus yapısı ve buradaki konargöçer Türkmen varlığı hakkında bilgi verilmiştir.
The Religious Moderation in Kei Community, Maluku Indonesia: Upholds Local Wisdom, Religion, and Nationality as Vital Aspects
Authors: Ulum Raudatul , Putro Moh. Zaenal Abidin Eko
Published: June 2024

Religiosity experiences moderation through encounters with sublime local cultures inherent in the Kei community in Maluku, Indonesia. This makes it worthy of research, especially regarding the integration of custom and religion. Kei culture was formed by the collective memory of their ancestors from Bali, Java, Banten, and other tribes in the archipelago. Conflicting gaps may arise due to paradoxes in cultural and religious life. This paper highlights the paradoxes and gaps between religious egalitarianism and traditional authority structures. It reports on interviews conducted with religious and traditional leaders, social and religious practitioners, and observations made during customary and religious activities in the Kei Islands. Data shows that religious followers' attitudes towards culture have a different quality. However, inclusion through traditional ceremonies is still maintained but the caste layer in custom has internal religious affairs. Likewise, in terms of national life, they have self-meaning as an open society. This paper concludes that accepting customary law can potentially create distortions and exacerbate the problem of changing diversity in life. If customs are managed well, they may stay within and outside the Kei community. Further research is necessary to explore how to rejuvenate the connection between traditional law and religion each time.
Nafion/ZrO2 Modified NiTi Orthodontic Wire: Preparation, Material Characterization, and Corrosion Studies
Authors: Chitta Raj Raja Rajamanikkam San , Madhivanan Keerthana , Ganapathy Dhanraj , Sundramoorthy Ashok K.
Published: June 2024

Background:

Nickel-titanium (NiTi) orthodontic wires are widely used in dental corrective
procedures due to their high mechanical properties and cost-effectiveness. However, they are
prone to oral corrosion, leading to mechanical deterioration, aesthetic issues, and potential health
concerns.

Objective:

This study aims to improve the corrosion resistance and durability of NiTi orthodontic
wires by employing zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) and Nafion coating with the goal of enhancing wire
performance.

Methods:

Two types of NiTi wires were evaluated: a standard, unmodified wire as a control and another
wire treated with electrodeposited ZrO2 film and Nafion (Naf) coating. Surface analysis was
conducted using various techniques, including Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM)
and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX) analysis.

Results:

The uncoated NiTi wire exhibited a corrosion rate of 4.436× 10-1 mm/year, whereas the
Naf/ZrO2-coated NiTi wire showed a corrosion rate of 4.068× 10-1 mm/year, indicating that the
Naf/ZrO2 coating acted as a protective layer. Additionally, the ZrO2 layer provided poor electrical
conductivity, resulting in slightly higher impedance compared to bare NiTi. The coating served as a
barrier, which significantly enhanced corrosion resistance and improved the wire lifespan.

Conclusion:

Electro-modification through ZrO2 deposition and Nafion coating significantly improved
the corrosion resistance and overall durability of NiTi orthodontic wires, offering a promising
advancement for their use in dental orthodontics. This study underscores the potential of ZrO2
and Nafion coating to enhance the corrosion resistance and longevity of NiTi orthodontic wires.
Design and Performance Analysis of Strip Photonic Waveguide with
Coating Layer for Multimode Propagation
Authors: Chandra Veer
Published: June 2024

Introduction:

Photonic devices play a pivotal role in the realm of high-speed data communication
due to their inherent capability to expedite the transfer of information. Historically, research
efforts in this domain have predominantly concentrated on investigating the fundamental
mode propagation within photonic waveguides.

Methods:

This study diverges from the conventional approach by delving into the untapped potential
of higher-order modes in addition to the fundamental mode of propagation. The exploration of these
higher-order modes opens up new possibilities for optimizing and enhancing the performance of photonic
devices in high-speed data communication scenarios. As a distinctive aspect of this study, various
coating materials were scrutinized for their impact on both fundamental and higher-order mode
propagation. The materials under examination included AlN (aluminum nitride), Germanium, and
Silicon. These materials were chosen based on their unique optical properties and suitability for influencing
different modes of light propagation. The findings from the study reveal that applying a
coating of germanium demonstrates advantageous characteristics, particularly in terms of reduced
signal loss, even when considering higher-order modes of propagation within photonic devices.

Results:

In this context, the results indicate that germanium-coated waveguides exhibit notably low
propagation losses, with measurements as minimal as 0.25 dB/cm. This low level of loss is particularly
noteworthy, especially when the waveguide has a width of 550 nm and is coated with a thickness
of 50 nm. The dimensions and coating specifications play a crucial role in determining the efficiency
of light transmission within the waveguide.

Conclusion:

The fact that the propagation loss is substantially low under these conditions suggests
that the germanium-coated waveguide, even when considering higher-order modes of light propagation,
can effectively maintain the integrity of the optical signal.

BACKGROUND

Data sciences solutions such as artificial intelligence are increasing. A common challenge is identifying appropriate scenarios or “use cases” for data sciences implementation. Implementation frameworks are primarily generated from a theoretical or single institution based perspectives, highlighting the need for a multi-institutional experience to reveal patterns within successful implementations.

OBJECTIVE

To describe successful and unsuccessful approaches to identify scenarios for data science implementations within healthcare settings and to provide recommendations for future scenario identification procedures.

METHODS

Representatives from seven Toronto academic healthcare institutions participated in a one-day workshop. Each institution was asked to provide an introduction to their clinical data science program and to provide an example of a successful and unsuccessful approach to scenario identification at their institution. Using content analysis, common observations were summarized.

RESULTS

Observations were coalesced to idea generation and value proposition, prioritization, approval and champions.

Colitis is a growing gastrointestinal inflammation condition that affect individual all around the globe. No specific treatment for colitis condition is available at the moment and this disease can develop into colorectal cancer. Phytochemical in Apium graveolens (AG) are potential as anti-inflammation and antioxidant. This study aimed to investigate the potency of AG ethanolic-extract (EES) in improving acetic acid (AA) – induced colitis in rats.
Rats with colitis induced by acetic acid were treated with 5-ASA and several concentrations (100, 300, and 900 mg/kg) of EES. Colitis severity was determined by scoring of macroscopic condition including body weight, colon, and faeces condition. In addition, colon tissues conditions were observed with haematoxylin-eosin staining. Colon permeability is determined by measuring urine glucose level. The observation of the change in Enterobacteriaceae population is investigated using PCR.
Apium graveolens ethanolic-extract shows highest improvement of colitis condition at concentration of 900 mg/kg, based on macroscopic observation and disease severity index. At this dose, no blood existed on the faeces and the faeces consistency is solid. Group receiving lower dose of EES still shows blood existence and less solid faeces. The EES dose dependently return the population of Enterobacteriaceae which increase upon AA treatment. Apium graveolens is potential to be use as preventive or treatment for colitis.

To develop a new instrument updated according to the needs of local Indonesian population and to assess its psychometric properties for measuring knowledge and attitudes toward antibiotics. The study was performed with forward and backward translation, an adaptation phase, and validation phase in which we distributed the instrument link via Google Forms to six major regions in Indonesia. Validity was measured using known group validity, construct validity, and Product-moment Correlation. Internal consistency among items was estimated using Cronbach Alpha. Based on the findings in the adaptation phase, additional descriptions (i.e. synonyms or examples) were added to the 6 items. In the validation phase, 1147 participants were recruited. The a priori hypothesis in the known group validity is supported. We also found three items that did not meet construct validity. Based on the results of exploratory factor analysis (EFA) in factor analysis, it is better to use four factors with modified domain names based on items that are incorporated in one factor. Based on the results of the validity test using the product-moment correlation for 11 items in the Attitude domain, all items were declared valid. Cronbach's alpha value in the knowledge domain was 0.791 and in the attitude domain was 0.929. Based on the psychometric analysis, the Indonesian Language Antibiotic Knowledge and Attitude Instrument is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing the level of knowledge and attitudes of the general public toward antibiotics in the Indonesian population.
Regional Disparities: A Longitudinal Analysis of Economic Growth Factors across Rural China
Authors: Jin Xiwen
Published: June 2024

This paper presents a longitudinal analysis of economic growth factors in rural and underdeveloped regions of China using a mixed effects model, with regions treated as a random effect to account for inherent variability. The study focuses on several key factors of economic growth, including education, healthcare, agricultural performance, industrialization, population flow, government expenditure, and their effects on the overall economic performance. The analysis reveals a significant disparity among the regions. This span indicates the varied levels of existing development and highlights the need for targeted policy interventions. By exploring these discrepancies, the study aims to provide a clearer understanding of the factors that drive or hinder economic growth in China’s less-developed rural areas, offering insights that could inform future strategies to foster balanced regional development. The implications of these findings are discussed in terms of policymaking, resource allocation, and the potential development of these communities.

Authors: Prvulović Nikola , Pantelić Saša , Stanković Ratko , Bubanj Saša
Published: June 2024

Plyometric movement improves athletes’ muscular performance and is used in the plyometric training method as an unavoidable principle of explosive power and speed development training. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of plyometric programs on biomechanical parameters, including any differences between them. The study focused on three sports, junior age group athletes, and was based on a systematic analysis of previous results. Electronic databases such as PubMed, MEDLINE, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, ERIC were searched for studies from 1999 to 2022. The results from 15 studies are summarized in detail. They show the positive effects of the plyometric programs on biomechanical parameters equally in the three sports. Training duration ranges from 20 to 90 min, and is directly related to the intensity of training and the number of jumps. Shorter sessions are of very high intensity with fewer jumps, while longer sessions are moderate and high intensity with fewer jumps (more than 138 to more than 2976). The most frequent training duration is 45 to 60 min, with high intensity and 600 to 900 different jumps. Greater improvements in explosive power and speed are seen in the parameters of sprint and jump tests. High intensity programs lasted from seven to 12 weeks, with a frequency of two to four times a week (СМЈ 6,2% to 16,9%, while for SJ 7,6% to 19,8%), while lower intensity programs lasted from three to six weeks (СМЈ 6,3% to 9,1%, and for SJ 6,6% to 8,9%). It is concluded that longer programs, of a moderate and high intensity and training sessions from 45 to 60 min, enable the best progress, regardless of sport.

Published: June 2024

The aim of this study was to determine the 800 meters running success differences of school-aged female athletes according to maturity stage. The study’s sample of respondents consisted of 26 school-aged female athletes who were selected for middle-distance running. The mean chronological age of the respondents was   12.67 ± 1.03 years. The respondents were divided into two groups according to biological maturity: Mid Peak Height Velocity (n = 13; mean chronological age 11.81 ± 0.57 years) and Post Peak Height Velocity (n = 13; mean chronological age 13.54 ± 0.52 years). Based on the results of the Student's T test of independent samples, it could be concluded that there was statistically significant difference in the 800 meters running success of female athletes according to biological maturity. It could be stated that respondents in the Post Peak Height Velocity group were more effective in this middle-distance running athletic discipline than respondents in the Mid Peak Height Velocity group. More specifically, female athletes with earlier stages of maturation dominated middle-distance running. Furthermore, because biological maturity causes differences in physical performance, maturity status should be the foundation of physical performance assessment. These findings can also be applied to the more successful selection of athletes. Trainers should avoid the potential risks associated with investing in athletes who dominate physical performance tests simply because they have matured earlier biologically.

Proceso diagenético del carbón y su relación con la generación de hidrocarburos
Authors: González-Partida Eduardo
Published: June 2024

El carbón se define como una roca sedimentaria de origen orgánico formada por el depósito de restos vegetales y sedimentos arcillosos, que han sido sometidos a un proceso diagenético. Los principales factores que controlan la formación del carbón durante la diagénesis son: 1) la acumulación de materia orgánica y sedimentos, 2) subsidencia, 3) tirante de agua, 4) aumento de presión y temperatura a través del tiempo geológico.
El carbón se constituye por materia orgánica derivada de plantas terrestres superiores (kerógeno tipo III), una mezcla de compuestos químicos orgánicos que durante el proceso diagenético dan origen a compuestos poliaromáticos condensados y grupos funcionales oxigenados. El kerógeno tipo III presenta bajas proporciones de cadenas alifáticas, además de una baja relación atómica H/C (<1), dando como resultado un potencial productor de aceite moderado y cantidades abundantes de gas a mayores profundidades, exhibiendo así mismo, una relación atómica O/C (0.05 – 0.40) que es comparativamente mayor que otros kerógenos (p. ej. kerógeno tipo I y kerógeno tipo II).
El kerógeno de tipo III, representado por material orgánico húmico de origen continental y costero, se compone primordialmente de plantas superiores y todo tipo de maderas, por lo que contiene altas concentraciones de celulosa, lignina, ácidos del grupo carboxilo, cetonas heteroatómicas y una proporción menor de compuestos alifáticos y alicíclicos. El ambiente de depósito de este tipo de material se encuentra relacionado con lagunas, deltas y manglares.
En las primeras etapas de madurez del kerógeno tipo III se desarrolla comúnmente una mayor cantidad de gas que de aceite. Éste es predominantemente parafínico, nafténico, aromático e incluso puede contener ceras. Este kerógeno puede, además, formar potentes capas de carbón que posteriormente se convierten en hidrocarburos. En este trabajo se discute la importante relación entre el carbón y los hidrocarburos formados a partir de él.
La información presentada en este manuscrito está dirigida a docentes, estudiantes y futuros profesionales en el área, y se espera que contribuya a la comprensión de los fundamentos, composición y procesos que ocurren en la transformación de carbón a hidrocarburos. También se espera que esta información aporte a la caracterización e interpretación geológica y geoquímica de este tipo de hidrocarburos.
