Az erdei legeltetésre, a fás legelők és legelőerdők használatára vonatkozó 1791 és 1961 közötti törvények
Authors: Saláta Dénes , Horváth Soma , Varga Anna
Published: July 2023

A gazdálkodás, a táj használata jelentős mértékben megváltozott az elmúlt 200 évben. A változások eredményeként számos, egykor nagyon elterjedt gazdasági tevékenység és területhasználat tűnt el mára, gondolva itt a teljesség igénye nélkül a makkoltatásra, az erdei legeltetésre, legelőerdőkre és fás legelőkre. Az erdőkben való legeltetés helyenként egészen a XX. század derekáig fennmaradt, azonban már egészen a korai időktől kezdve szabályozták, amely mutatja az erdők jelentőségét az állattartásban. Az 1791. évi LVII. törvénycikk, 1853. évi Úrbéri Pátens, az 1871. évi LIII., az 1879. évi XXXI., az 1898. évi XIX., az 1913. évi X., az 1913. évi XXXIII., az 1935. évi IV., az 1945. évi VI. törvénycikkek és az 1961. évi VII. törvény segítségével követhető nyomon az erdei legeltetés és a hozzá kapcsolódó területhasználatok alakulása a kezdeti enyhébb szabályozástól egészen a teljes betiltásig.

Authors: Bárcziné Kapovits Judit , Csemez Attila , Sallay Ágnes
Published: July 2023

Az utóbbi másfél évtizedben több zöldút alakult Magyarországon, és továbbiak kialakítására van igény. A fő cél a nemmotoros közlekedés számára alkalmas útvonalak létesítése vagy kijelölése és további működtetése, a nemzetközi gyakorlatban elterjedt „Greenways” mintájára. A létrejött zöldutak sokfélék: mind a külföldi mind a magyarországi zöldutak a táji adottságoknak és a helyi igényeknek megfelelően egyéni hangsúlyokat is hordoznak, lehetővé téve ezzel az egyes tájakra jellemző sajátosságok kiemelését. A már kijelölt zöldutak fennmaradásához és továbbiak létrehozásához azonban Magyarországon még hiányzik a zöldutak megfelelő jogi és műszaki szabályozása. A jelen közleményben, a magyarországi zöldutak – elsősorban a Budapesti Agglomeráció területén alakuló Buda Vidék Zöldút - tapasztalataiból és külföldi példák elemzésével javaslatot szeretnék tenni a zöldutak hazai tervezési szabályozási rendszerének kidolgozására.

Magyarország területének közel felén (48,5%) folyik szántóföldi művelés. Ezek a területek nemcsak a termelés színterei, hanem fontos élőhelyei számos vadonélő növény- és állatfajnak. E tanulmány áttekintést nyújt a SOWAP Projekt eredményeiről, melynek során összehasonlítottuk a hagyományos és a talajkímélő művelés (sekély talajművelés tárcsázással, szármaradványok felszínen való hagyásával) földigilisztákra és madarakra gyakorolt hatását. Ez a két állatcsoport az egészséges talaj, illetve az egészséges mezőgazdasági táj fontos bioindikátora. Az élővilágra gyakorolt hatások vizsgálatára a Balaton Nyugati-vízgyűjtőterületén, Zala megye dombsági mezőgazdasági területén, Dióskál határában jelöltünk ki 107 hektáron 12 parcellapárt (12 hagyományos, 12 kímélő, egyenként 3,5 hektáros parcella). A kísérlet 2003 és 2005 folyt, kukorica és őszi búza kultúrában. A földigiliszták mintavételére évente két alkalommal került sor, a földön táplálkozó madarak heti gyakorisággal kerültek feljegyzésre a két téli terepidőszakban. A hagyományos művelésű parcellákhoz képest a kímélő művelésűn szignifikánsan több giliszta fordult elő, és a tömegük is szignifikánsan nagyobb volt, mindkét évben, mindkét vetésváltás esetén. A talajkímélő művelésű parcellák két téli periódusban, kétféle vetésváltás esetében is előnyösebbek voltak a hagyományos művelésűeknél, mégpedig elsősorban a kistestű énekesmadarak számára, mint a mezei pacsirta, mezei veréb, fenyőpinty, tengelic, zöldike, citromsármány. Mindkét téli periódus majd mindegyik mintavételi időpontjában (15 mintavételi időpont közül 12-ben) szignifikáns hatással volt a művelési mód a kistestű énekesmadarak előfordulására, a kímélő művelés javára. Fajok szintjén vizsgálódva, a 12 elemezhető faj közül 7-re szignifikánsan hatott a művelés. Mind a hét faj a talajkímélő módon művelt parcellákon fordult elő többször. A fajok egy kisebb csoportjában azt is megvizsgáltuk, hogy az észlelésenkénti egyedszámok eltértek-e a kétféle művelésű terület között. A fácán, a mezei pacsirta és a mezei veréb a talajkímélő művelésű parcellákon fordult elő nagyobb egyedszámban. Eredményeink azt mutatják, hogy intenzív mezőgazdálkodási gyakorlatban is van lehetőség a talaj védelme mellett a biodiverzitás megőrzésére talajkímélő művelés alkalmazásával.

In geosciences, fieldwork is a traditional way to teach various applications of disciplinary knowledge and practical skills and to introduce students to the scientific method (Malm, 2021). Many students are excited to join fieldwork and find it motivating and relevant for their future careers. In post-fieldwork surveys, our students at the Geophysical Institute, University of Bergen, Norway, typically describe their fieldwork using words such as instructive, exciting, fun, interesting, good experience, cooperation. The dominant discourse among geoscience teachers is also that “‘fieldwork is good’ for both social and academic purposes” (Malm, 2021). However, for various reasons, not all students take advantage of all opportunities within the scope of the fieldwork. For many students, there is a wide gap between what they learn through participation in a field course and what they need to be able to do later in more independent fieldwork.

Authors: Ramadhani Fadhila
Published: July 2023

Iklan merupakan suatu media promosi produk yang kerap ditemui dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Iklan menampakkan diri dalam bentuk yang beragam seperti digital, cetak, dan elektronik. Iklan dan bahasa iklan senantiasa berhubungan satu sama lain. Penelitian ini berlatarbelakang fenomena hiperealitas yang dibangun meallui bahasa iklan. Penelitian ini mengangkat permasalahan yang terdapat di dalam bahasa iklan seperti mengungkapkan bentuk-bentuk kalimat iklan yang tidak memenuhi standar kaidah logis serta tidak menimbulkan konsekuensi praktis secara signifikan. Penelitian ini juga bertujuan mengungkapkan filsafat tersembunyi yang terdapat di dalam bahasa iklan.

 Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu kualitatif dengan mengacu pada buku Qualitative and Inquiry Research Design karya John W. Cresswell. Penelitian ini merupakan jenis penelitian kepustakaan dengan objek material bahasa iklan dan objek formal teori tindakan bahasa tokoh John Langshaw Austin. Adapun metode pemilihan sampel iklan dalam penelitian ini diakukan dengan teknik purposive sampling yakni melakukan pengambilan serta pemilihan sampel penelitian berdasarkan tujuan dan tema penelitian.

Hasil dari penelitian ini terdiri dari tiga poin. Pertama, ditemukan ragam kalimat iklan yang dapat diklasifikasikan ke dalam kategori lokusi, ilokusi, dan perlokusi menurut teori tindak bahasa John Langshaw Austin. Kedua, mengungkapkan makna tersembunyi di balik slogan iklan. Ketiga, mengungkapkan bentuk-bentuk hiperealitas yang dibangun melalui bahasa iklan. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini, setelah bahasa iklan dalam penelitian ini diklasifikasikan ke dalam tiga kategori teori tindakan bahasa Austin, kemudian dapat diketahui makna tersembunyi yang terkandung di dalam bahasa iklan. Masyarakat hendaknya memahami bentuk bahasa iklan dengan senantiasa menghadirkan kesadaran kritis. Dengan begitu, masyarakat dapat menyaring dan mencerna beragam bentuk iklan yang ada di sekitarnya serta masyarakat diharapkan memiliki kemampuan untuk mengetahui kebenaran yang tertutup oleh hiperealitas bahasa iklan.
KAJIAN LINGUISTIK DALAM AL-QUR’AN DAN TASAWUF (Perkembangan Ajarannya di Indonesia)
Authors: M. Marki Jamaluddin
Published: July 2023

Tasawuf (sufisme) adalah suatu falsafah hidup yang tujuan utamanya adalah meningkatkan derajat kesempurnaan jiwa manusia dari sisi moralitas. Tujuan tersebut bisa diraih dengan penyucian jiwa; dengan melakukan amalan-amalan tertentu (ibadah) hingga mencapai kondisi fanā’ sebagai metode memperoleh pengetahuan tentang hakikat tertinggi (Allah).

Dalam perkembangannya, tasawuf dibagi ke dalam dua bagian, tasawuf teoritis dan tasawuf praktis. Setiap tipologi tersebut memiliki ajaran masing-masing yang mengarah pada penyucian hati untuk sampai kepada yang Haqq. Ajaran-ajaran yang dipraktikkan oleh para sufi mendapat kecaman dari sebagian kalangan. Karena dianggap tidak memiliki dasar baik dari al-Qur’an ataupun sunnah.

Para orientalis beranggapan bahwa tasawuf yang berkembang dalam agama Islam sumbernya dari ajaran Nasrani, Yahudi, Budha, Hindu, Persia bahkan ada yang beranggapan ajaran tersebut bersumber dari Filsafat Yunani. Akan tetapi banyak peneliti yang pro akan tasawuf dan beranggapan bahwa tasawuf bersumber dari al-Qur’an dan sunnah.

Di Indonesia sendiri tasawuf memiliki tempat tersendiri di hati penduduknya. Pasalnya, para sufi yang mempraktikkan ajaran tasawuf memiliki sumbangsih besar dalam Islamisasi Indonesia. Di antara tokoh-tokoh pembawa ajaran tasawuf ke Indonesia yaitu, Syaikh Hamzah Fansuri, Syaikh Syamsuddin Al-Sumatrani, Syaikh Nuruddin Ar-Raniri dan Syaikh Abdurrauf Al-Sinkili.

Analisis Linguistik Pancasila Berdasarkan Epistemologi, Ontologi, dan Aksiologi
Authors: Wira Ramdhani Supriyo
Published: July 2023

Pancasila adalah Dasar Negara Indonesia, dan sudah melampaui proses tahan uji yang panjang, sehingga bangsa kita tidak mudah terpecah belah, seperti negara-negara yang lain. Pancasila, yang sudah menjadi simbol di lambang burung Garuda Indonesia, bisa menggambarkan betapa dahsyatnya kekuatan fondasi Pancasila. Kenapa? Sebab, ibarat rumah yang kokoh dan kuat, Pancasila adalah pancang besi tiang yang menancap dalam ke bawah tanah, sehingga setiap batu bata yang disemen dengan campuran pasir halus akan kokoh, ditambah atap rumah nantinya, dan rumah akan menjadi tahan lama terhadap panasnya matahari dan siraman hujan yang deras. Begitu pula seperti itu peran Pancasila. Hal tersebut dapat kita lihat dari beberapa keruntuhan negara- negara yang mulai rusak akibat tidak stabilnya dasar negara mereka yang mudah sekali diubah, tanpa pemikiran lebih matang lagi. Sebut saja, Republik Arab Mesir, Suriah, Iraq, Libia, dan negara-negara lainnya, padahal kebanyakan dari mereka terdiri dari satu ras bangsa saja, contohnya bangsa Arab. Namun, hal tersebut tidak bisa meredam ketidakstabilan dan kemelut yang terjadi sewaktu-waktu, padahal peran Negara-lah untuk meredam gejolak panas di dalam negeri, sesuai Dasar Negara yang tercantum di dalamnya.

Disini, penulis berusaha merefleksikan hakekat setiap sila Pancasila, yang sampai sekarang tetap menjadi Dasar Negara kita, dan tahan uji sejak tahun 1945. Dimulai dari epistemologi, aksiologi, dan ontologi dari setiap sila Pancasila.

Saat ini teknologi berkembang menjadi kebutuhan bagi masyarakat terlebih di Indonesia. Banyak market place yang disediakan secara online dari pada bertatap muka langsung ke penjual. Barang yang dijajakanpun berbagai macam mulai dari kebutuhan primer sampai kebutuhan tersier. Banyak sekali market place online yang sering digunakan oleh masyarakat seperti Lazada, Shopee, Tokopedia, dan masih banyak sekali. Namun, kecenderungan untuk berkonsumsi secara online ini belum diimbangi dengan pengetahuan dan pemahaman para penjual yang ingin menjajakan dagangannya. Para penjual masih minim pengetahuan mengenai bagaimana cara memasarkan barang-barang mereka dengan memiliki website sendiri. Kebanyakan  dari penjual online masih mengandalkan market place yang sudah ada. Seperti observasi awal yang dilakukan di Plaza Mall Surabaya, kebayakan dari mereka masih mengandalkan penjualan barang secara manual kepada pembeli sedangkan jika ditilik dari permintaan pasar saat ini sudah banyak masyarakat yang beralih untuk berbelanja secara online. Penelitian ini bermaksud untuk menganalisa penggunaan website “wix.com” kepada para pedagang khususnya pengusaha baju di Royal Plaza.

Jika masyarakat ingin berbelanjapun untuk kebutuhan sekunder seperti baju dan lain sebagainya lebih memilih menggunakan teknologi tepat guna dalam melakukan berbagai aktifitas jual beli. Saat ini teknologi juga berkembang menjadi kebutuhan bagi masyarakat terlebih di Indonesia. Banyak market place yang disediakan secara online dari pada bertatap muka langsung ke penjual. Barang yang dijajakanpun berbagai macam mulai dari kebutuhan primer sampai kebutuhan tersier. Banyak sekali market place online yang sering digunakan oleh masyarakat seperti Lazada, Shopee, Tokopedia, dan masih banyak sekali. Tujuannya untuk mudah memasarkan baju-baju dengan tampilan website sendiri yang menarik untuk dilihat dan dipilih oleh konsumen secara online

The role of polyamines in the regenerative process of skin aerobic-purulent wounds

Published: July 2023

Aliphatic polyamines (putrescine, spermidine, spermine) are organic polycations that play an important role in wound healing by stimulating several cellular mechanisms. In a human skin wound sample, the activity of the enzyme ornithine decarboxylase, which regulates the rate of polyamine synthesis, rapidly increases along the wound edges and leads to the activation of the polyamine synthesis cascade. Under the influence of polyamines, some signaling systems are also activated in wounds, which are the main pathways for the release of cellular mechanisms, and thanks to them, the healing process begins in wounds. For example, spermine induces the synthesis of urokinase-type plasminogen activator, the binding of which to the corresponding receptor at the wound margins executes the urokinase-type plasminogen activator and its receptor signaling system, which is the main driver of keratinocyte migration. Eukaryotic cell proliferation depends on precise modification of the eukaryotic initiation factor 5A1, in which spermidine plays an indispensable role. However, in addition to the significant functions performed by polyamines in the human body, polyamines are also necessary for the normal growth and development of fungi and bacteria. Small amounts of some microorganisms have a positive effect on the healing of wounds, but their increase, on the contrary, leads to the impairment of the normal course of wound healing due to their enhanced synthesis of polyamines. On the other hand, many studies show that excess ornithine decarboxylase and polyamines increase the risk of skin cancer. Suppression of polyamine synthesis by pathogenic microflora during wound healing can contribute to both rapid healing and the prevention of skin cancer.
In our study, we offer a way of inhibition of polyamine synthesis by wound microflora for rapid wound healing and prevention of subsequent cancer. The medicinal mixture “Armenicum/Eflornithine” is a mixture of the drug “Armenicum” and α-difluoromethylornithine.

Published: July 2023

Agenda pembangunan yang terkait peningkatan kesejahteraan kerap mengalami kegagalan. Pembangunan dan model kebijakan yang sangat elites serta mengesampingkan nila-nilai kearifan lokal menjadi salah satu akar penyebab kegagalan tersebut. Studi ini bertujuan untuk menelaah bagaimana program pembangunan mengintegrasikan nilai-nilai luhur atau kapital sosial yang ada sebagai Engine of  Development. Dalam konteks pembangunan desa di Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Barat, untuk mencapai visi yang tertuang dalam “NTB Gemilang” memiliki program Trade and Distribution Center desa yakni program distribusi dan pusat perdagangan di desa melalui skema bisnis Badan Usaha Milik Desa. Skema ini bertujuan untuk modernisasi dan digitilasasi desa dalam memenuhi kebutuhan pokok masyarakat desa. Namun, dalam perkembangan studi mengenai Badan Usaha Milik Desa di Indonesia pada umumnya merupakan kebijakan yang kerap diselewengkan untuk kepentingan politik dan pembangunan yang sifatnya parsial dan jangka pendek. Studi ini mencoba menelaah dan memberikan kajian kritis terhadap hilangnya kapital sosial dalam implementasi program Trade and Distribution Center desa. Melalui pendekatan kualitatif eksploratif, studi ini berfokus pada pilot poject Trade and Distribution Center di wilayah Lombok Barat NTB yang secara implisit telah menemukan jawaban bahwa kapital sosial tidak tereproduksi dalam agenda pembangunanan dikarenakan pembangunan yang tergambar sangat politis dan elites baik dalam penyusunan maupun implementasinya.

Published: July 2023

Background & Aims: Undernutrition has a detrimental effect on health, especially in elderly individuals.Early detection of malnutrition and malnutrition risk allows for timely prevention and initiation of the necessary nutritional support. The study aimed to determine the prevalence of malnutrition among elderly residents at the old folk home in Selangor, Malaysia. Materials and methods: A total of 46 Klang valley nursing facility residents were enrolled for this cross-sectional study. The Mini Nutritional AssessmentShort Form (MNA-SF), 24-hour food recall, Food frequency questionnaire, Habitual physical activity, 24- hours physical activity recall, and anthropometric measurements were used to assess malnutrition by a trained healthcare professional. Results: Of the 46 participants, 41% had adequate nutrition, 11% had malnutrition, and 48% had malnutrition risk. According to BMI, 6.7% of the population was underweight, 35.6% were overweight, 11.1% were obese, and 46.7% were normal weight. The energy consumption was 2453.9(±421.6) kcal for female residents and 2248.2(±536.5) kcal for male residents, which was higher than the Recommended Nutrient consumption (RNI). Contrary to the cereals and grains category, it was determined that enough fruits and vegetables were consumed, as advised by the Food Pyramid. Consumption of milk and dairy products was higher than suggested by the Food Pyramid. Among older adults who are sedentary and inactive, results showed a higher incidence of malnutrition than those who were at risk for it. The amount of daily energy consumed surpassed the RNI, and the elderly did not consume enough of the food groups as advised by the Food Pyramid.

This study examined the production of innovative fashion accessories from blends of raffia and polypropylene fabrics. The study took place in Bayelsa State and employed a survey and Research and Development design. The target population consisted of 1,704,515 households in Bayelsa State. The unit of observation and respondents were male and female homemakers. Krejcie and Morgan's statistical table for sample size determination was used to determine the sample size. A sample size of 300 respondents was selected using a multistage sampling technique. To collect data in the first phase, a structured questionnaire was utilized. The internal consistency of the questionnaire was assessed using Cronbach's alpha, which yielded a value of 0.839. Data were analyzed utilizing mean, standard deviation and t-test. A blended fabric weaved on loom from raffia and polypropylene was produced. This fabric was utilized for the production of four fashion accessories. The fashion accessories produced include a sandal, slippers, handbag, and hat. Findings revealed that the probability values (0.22-0.85) are greater than 0.05 level of significance (p ˃ 0.05). Hence, the null hypothesis was upheld. The study concluded that raffia and polypropylene blends are compatible and can be processed on a loom for the production of fabrics that could be used for the production of fashion accessories. Based on the findings, it was recommended, among others, that fashion accessories should be produced from raffia and polypropylene blend fabrics as income-generating opportunities for individuals and households.

The study determined the effects of natural sweeteners (date fruit and black plum) on nutrient compositions and organoleptic attributes of tigernut-coconut drinks. Two research questions and hypotheses guided the study. The population of the study was 60. Ingredients used for the drink preparation were gotten from Ogige market, Nsukka. Nine-point hedonic scale was used as an instrument for data collection. Data obtained were analyzed using mean and standard deviation for the research questions, while ANOVA was used to test the hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. Findings of the study indicated that the moisture content of the drink samples ranged from 88.68% to 90.60%, ash content ranged from 0.10% to 0.16%, crude fibre content was from 2.4% to 3.4%, fats and oil content was from 2.0% to 2.4%, protein content ranged from 0.10% to 4.2%. Carbohydrate content ranged from 0.10% to 3.58%. The organoleptic attributes of the drink samples showed that the sample containing date fruit as a sweetener had the highest rate of general acceptability. Among the recommendations made was that local food producers should utilize date fruit and black plum as natural sweeteners in the production of drinks. Also, the natural sweeteners (date fruit and black plum) can be processed, stored separately and used as homemade sweeteners for different cereals and drinks by homemakers.

Active flow control and its applications in supersonic boundary layer
Authors: Tian Gan
Published: July 2023

Boundary layer transition is a typical aerodynamic phenomenon in supersonic flow that refers to the transition of the boundary layer from laminar flow to turbulent flow. The instabilities and transition mechanisms are complicated. A turbulent boundary layer has an associated higher energy content more momentum and, therefore, is less prone to be separated. Furthermore, accurate and fast transition in the flow over the compressor blades in turbo machinery provides significant flow mixing, resulting in an increase in engine performance. In addition, the development of the scramjet made it possible to use plasma actuators as turbulator to increase the turbulence within an isolator and increase combustion efficiency. Thus, different methods of boundary layer transition have been proposed. The focus of this chapter is a low Reynolds number supersonic boundary layer and its interaction with an active flow control device. The Plasma-Based Actuator’s high repetition rate enables itself as an unsteady control mechanism to address the unsteady flow features. Moreover, its strong forcing makes it suitable for flow control applications in the high-speed flow regime, especially the supersonic boundary layer.
Sexual Education, What Challenges for Tomorrow?
Authors: Jacquerye Agnès , De Sutter Pascal
Published: July 2023

In many parts of the world, political and government authorities, school principals, teachers, and parents are not so sure about the need for sex education to young people. They are reluctant to provide it as they dread promoting sexual activity and worse, an unbridled sort of sexuality. Sex education was introduced in schools less than five decades ago, for political and public health reasons. First limited as a whole to “no sex” or “safer sex” and often delivered in an excessively conventional way. More recently, other topics relevant have begun to be added, such as incest, gender identity, sexual orientation, consent relationship, interpersonal violence, and LGBTQIA+. At a time when social networks and online pornography have become young people’s main information sources on sexuality, sexual education is more essential than ever. Clearly, it is high time we had one approach to sex education, serving emotions, the body, human relationships as well as erotic art and ethics. Programs using interactive learning and skill building are essential in engaging young people with the knowledge and tools required for healthy sexual decision-making. Modern implementation strategies of communication, including digital and gaming, are necessary to address young people in a positive way.

Published: July 2023

Histopathological examination is one of the important ancillary investigations to be done in medicolegal autopsies, particularly in sudden and natural deaths. Some of the liver diseases are silent that can contribute to fatal events in the later stages. Liver is one of the common viscera received in the pathology laboratory for histopathological examination. The findings in the liver vary from nonspecific to specific, which may or may not contribute to the cause of death. The important prerequisite for the histopathological examination is preservation. A well-preserved specimen gives detailed morphological details when compared to the poorly preserved specimen.

Published: July 2023

This book chapter give an overview of natural and synthetic polymeric moieties consumed for developing hydrogels and their types. Different properties of nanogels are the advancement of hydrogels characterized by nano-size range, stimuli-responsive swelling, and release. Stimuli responsiveness is imparted by the presence of a suitable monomer. A number of polymerization approaches are presented in the literature that are employed to prepare such networks. These systems are elastic, rubbery, nontoxic, and biocompatible and offer prolonged release of the drugs without chances of dose dumping. These types of networks have potential pharmaceutical, agricultural, food, and biotechnological applications in terms of controlled, prolonged, and targeted drug delivery, solubility enhancements, stimuli-dependent intelligent drug delivery, such as contact lenses, wound healing, etc. In the current chapter, we have tried to introduce hydrogels and microgels, their different types, the variety of polymers used to develop such carrier systems, approaches to develop such drug delivery systems, and their utilization in various sectors in addition to the pharmaceutical sector.
On drag reduction by spanwise wall oscillation in compressible turbulent channel flow
Authors: Yuan Wenjun , Chen Dongming , Zhang Haifeng
Published: July 2023

In this chapter, we summarize our progress in the investigation of drag reduction (DR) by spanwise wall oscillation (SWO). Reliable direct numerical simulation (DNS) models have been established for compressible turbulent channel flow. A large amount of 39.3% drag reduction has been achieved for supersonic compressible flows. It is found that the compressible effect is modest with respect to the turbulent effect for the skin-fiction in compressible turbulent channel flows. The reduced DR is mainly because of the decreasing turbulent contribution, and the related small compressible term also slightly decreases with the increase Wm+. More DNS cases with different maximum wall velocities, oscillation periods, and flow Reynold numbers for compressible cases should be analyzed. The optimal combination with the highest drag reduction efficiency has significant importance on real applications, which deserves to be studied in detail to characterize the underlying mechanisms.
Double Lung and Heart-Lung Transplantation for Congenital Heart Disease with Eisenmenger Syndrome and Idiopathic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Authors: L. Knop Gustavo , Castro-Varela Alejandra
Published: July 2023

Patients with pulmonary hypertension who develop concomitant refractory end-stage lung disease and/or chronic end-stage heart disease should undergo evaluation to determine if they are candidates for double lung (DLTx) or heart-lung transplantation (HLTx). Pulmonary hypertension is the indication for approximately 4.5% of total lung transplants. The most common indication for HLTx is complex congenital heart disease (CHD) with Eisenmenger syndrome. HLTx is also indicated in patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension and severe right ventricular (RV) failure. Patients with pulmonary hypertension represent a heterogenous group not only in terms of mechanism leading to the development of pulmonary hypertension but also regarding the presence and degree of right and/or left ventricular dysfunction. The choice between double lung transplant (DLTx) and HLTx is based on the etiology, clinical presentation, and other factors. In this chapter, we will discuss the treatment of patients with CHD with Eisenmenger syndrome and idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension, including the surgical option of DLTx and HLTx.

Authors: Granados-Miralles Cecilia , Saura-Múzquiz Matilde , L. Andersen Henrik
Published: July 2023

Permanent magnets are integral components in many of the modern technologies that are critical for the transition to a sustainable society. However, most of the high-performance (BHmax > 100 kJ/m3) permanent magnets that are currently employed contain rare earth elements (REE), which have long been classified as critical materials with a high supply risk and concerns regarding pollution in their mining. Therefore, suitable REE-lean/free magnets must be developed in order to ensure the sustainability of clean energy generation and electric mobility. The REE-free hexagonal ferrites (or hexaferrites) are the most used permanent magnets across all applications, with an 85 wt.% pie of the permanent magnet market. They are the dominant lower-grade option (BHmax < 25 kJ/m3) due to their relatively good hard magnetic properties, high Curie temperature (>700 K), low cost and good chemical stability. In recent years, the hexaferrites have also emerged as candidates for substituting REE-based permanent magnets in applications requiring intermediate magnetic performance (25–100 kJ/m3), due to considerable performance improvements achieved through chemical tuning, nanostructuring and compaction/sintering optimization. This chapter reviews the state-of-the-art sintering strategies being investigated with the aim of manufacturing hexaferrite magnets with optimized magnetic properties, identifying key challenges and highlighting the natural future steps to be followed.
The Toxicity of Plastics
Authors: E. Guareschi Edda
Published: July 2023

According to more than 200 scholarly publications, plastic pollution has been emerging as a major environmental concern in recent decades, and has been posing a relevant threat to ecosystems and global health. While the focus has primarily been on the physical, chemical and biological impacts of primary and secondary plastics, also for their ability to cross biological barriers within the human body, an additional hazard is represented by their association to heavy metals, used as additives. Metals are, in fact, added to plastics for their stabilizing actions. The examples of metal toxicity here reported are Antimony (Sb), Arsenic (As), Barium (Ba), Beryllium (Be), Cadmium (Cd), Chromium (Cr), Cobalt (Co), Copper (Cu), Iron (Fe), Lead (Pb), Manganese (Mn), Nickel (Ni), Selenium (Se), Vanadium (V) and Zinc (Zn). This chapter explores the toxicity of metals associated with plastic pollution in the environment, illustrating their potential consequences for the global ecological system, with prevalent focus on human health. The interdisciplinary approach, which includes environmental science, chemistry and toxicology, aims to enhance the understanding of this complex issue and highlight the urgent need for efficient mitigation strategies.
