Background:
Clean and clear water is an essential element in our life. Finding new and
innovative approaches to purify water is a critical topic in research and development. Carbon nanotubes
are promising adsorbent for many stable organic compounds. The ability of wastewater treatment
using carbon nanotubes was studied in this review article.

Methods:
Adsorption mechanism was discussed based on several research studies. Kinetics and
thermodynamics of sorption were reviewed using carbon nanotubes. This review has discussed the
approach of removing dyes and heavy metal ions from wastewater using nanomaterials as adsorbent.
Furthermore, the paper provides several essential parameters involved in the adsorption mechanism
of carbon nanotubes for wastewater applications.

Results:
The results of this review show that carbon nanotubes are an advantageous source of the adsorbent
for wastewater applications. High thermal and chemical stability make carbon nanotubes
more attractive for the wastewater treatment application. It is observed that both kinetics and equilibrium
studies are essential to understand the adsorption phenomena. The adsorption rate constant is
considered an important factor to study the adsorption.

Conclusion:
Nanomaterials in the adsorption process make the process more effortless compared to
other types of adsorbents. Carbon nanotubes have several properties that help in surface modification,
which make them an effective and environmentally friendly material for wastewater treatment.

Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) is one of the most commonly encountered
diabetic complication emergencies. It typically affects people with type 1 diabetes at the onset of
the disease. It can also affect people with type 2 diabetes, although this is uncommon.

Methods:
Research and online content related to diabetes online activity is reviewed. DKA is
caused by a relative or absolute deficiency of insulin and elevated levels of counter-regulatory hormones.

Results:
Goals of therapy are to correct dehydration, acidosis, and to reverse ketosis, gradually restoring
blood glucose concentration to near normal.

Conclusion:
It is essential to monitor potential complications of DKA and, if necessary, to treat
them and any precipitating events.
Nanofillers for Food Packaging: Antimicrobial Potential of Metal-based Nanoparticles
Authors: Stoica Maricica , Stoica Dimitrie 
Published: July 2020

Background:Recently, numerous studies on the packaging of nanomaterials for foods underline the significant function of nanofillers in the manufacturing of innovative nanocomposites based on polymer or biopolymer matrices. It is evident in the literature that nanofillers exhibit effective characteristics such as antimicrobial potential, barrier, mechanical, and thermal properties. However, the exact mechanisms regulating the occurrence of the antimicrobial activity of nanofillers are only hypothesized, with the literature containing controversies regarding the mechanisms of nanofiller-induced toxicity.Objective:The objective of this review is to highlight several types of nanofillers, especially inorganic nanofillers that can be used along with different polymers or biopolymers to form innovative food packaging materials. The antimicrobial potential of metal-based nanofillers is also discussed in the second part of the review.Results:Even though numerous reports on polymer or biopolymer nanomaterial applications in food packaging are available, the purpose described in those reviews has not been aimed in this article, as a smaller number of reviews have approached food packaging nanomaterials in the way as done in this review article.Conclusion:It is expected that the information contained in this paper will complement previous reports, and open new vistas for explorers to apply nanofillers in the functional food packaging area.
A Mini Review of Technological Options for Disposal of Municipal Solid Waste in India
Authors: Verma Ravindra , Bisen Prakash Singh 
Published: July 2020

Background:
It has been seen that 90% of municipal solid waste is disposed off
in open dumps and landfill sites, causing problems for the environment, and public health in
developing countries. Many technological options can convert waste into various forms of
energy. Heat and electricity can be generated and utilized for specific thermodynamic conversion
processes and different types of biofuel can also be extracted from the organic municipal
solid waste.

Objective:
This study evaluates the different treatment options available to convert waste
into energy, and also concludes its environmental aspect with suggestions, which may be
beneficial for encouraging the researchers to work for further improvement in this aspect.

Methods:
For each technological area, results from the literature review and the different
expert opinions were considered to provide an analysis of the treatment technology, identify
the internal and external environmental threats and important gaps in treatment technologies
for MSW in India.

Results:
It has been observed from various studies that the pyrolysis/gasification is the suitable
option for the treatment of different compositions of solid waste with high energy recovery
in India, while bio-methanation is suitable for a decentralized system with a high
energy value, and a minimum level of pollution & health hazards.

Conclusion:
The study and observations show that there are multiple technological options
for the treatment of municipal solid waste. Research and development in the MSW sector is
not a priority in India, therefore, it has been recognized that expert research advice is required
while selecting technology as well as for deciding the tools and techniques to handle
this issue.
Facebook as a Medium for the Support and Enhancement of Ambulatory Care for People With Diabetes: Qualitative Realist Evaluation of a Real-World Trial
Authors: Cleal Bryan , Willaing Ingrid , Hoybye Mette T , Thomsen Henrik H 
Published: July 2020

Background
There is a growing focus on the potential uses, benefits, and limitations of social media in the context of health care communication. In this study, we have sought to evaluate an initiative pioneered at a hospital in Denmark that uses Facebook to support and enhance patient-provider communication about diabetes.

Objective
This paper aims to evaluate the success of the trial according to its initial objectives and to assess its potential scalability.

Methods
The study was undertaken in a clinic for diabetes and hormonal diseases at a large regional hospital in Denmark. Using a realist evaluation approach, we identified 4 key components in the program theory of the initiative, which we formulated as context-mechanism-outcome configurations (eg, complex and iterative chains of causality). These configurations informed data gathering and analysis. Primary data sources were the activity and content in the Facebook group, in the form of posts, likes, and comments, and interviews with patients (n=26) and staff (n=6) at the clinic.

Results
New developments in diabetes technology were the most popular posts in the forum, judged by number of likes and comments. Otherwise, information specific to the clinic received the most attention. All 4 components of the program theory were compromised to varying degrees, either as a result of failings in the anticipated mechanisms of change or contextual factors derived from the mode of implementation.

Conclusions
Social media serves well as a conduit for imagining positive change, but this can be a strength and weakness when attempting to enact change via concrete interventions, where stakeholder expectations may be unreasonably high or incompatible. Nonetheless, such initiatives may possess intangible benefits difficult to measure in terms of cost-effectiveness.

It is implicated that among these clipping process, ambi-clipping is the most frequently found type in Mbojo nicknames.
La autobiografía lectora: una herramienta para la construcción de sentido en el quehacer docente
Authors: Tobón Cossio Juan Camilo 
Published: July 2020

Los estudios de la didáctica de la lectura han encontrado en la investigación narrativa (el estudio de historias de vida), una herramienta para potenciar el quehacer y la reflexión sobre el rol del mediador de lectura, el papel de lectura en los procesos de formación y los desafíos que estas historias de vida generan en el panorama educativo. El presente artículo propone dar una mirada a estos elementos poniendo en diálogo el trabajo adelantado por investigaciones españolas y su desafío en el contexto latinoamericano, específicamente con la investigación propuesta por Bernal et al. (2018) en el escenario colombiano. La investigación narrativa o estudio de historias de vida se puntualiza en una dinámica propia de los sujetos: el ser lector. Al narrar la historia de lectura en lo que se denomina autobiografía lectora, se construye una conciencia del yo lector y se ahonda en las dinámicas que han marcado este camino, lo cual posibilitará a los docentes en formación y mediadores de lectura adoptar una postura crítica frente a sus dinámicas personales, la aplicación de sus didácticas y los planteamientos del sistema educativo. De este modo, la lectura rescatará su carácter de experiencia en donde el maestro o mediador toman como punto de partida su vivencia como lectores: su yo lector.
Reproduksi Makna Miskin dalam Surat Keterangan Tidak Mampu (SKTM) untuk Pelayanan Kesehatan Masyarakat Miskin Non Kuota di Kabupaten Sidoarjo
Authors: Kustanto Munari , Anindita Ardi 
Published: July 2020

A relief letter (SKTM) from Social Service Office of Sidoarjo is a mechanism for non-quota poor people to access health services. The dilemma occurred when the office indicated that 80% of the target users of the letter were inaccurate. Understandings on terms of “poor”in relief letter and by health service providers play an important role in this phenomenon. This study identifies the reproduction of the meaning of poor on non-quota poor health services in Sidoarjo. This was a qualitative approach, conducted in Sidoarjo and Tarik District that had different characteristics to obtain comprehensive results. The structuration theory from Anthony Giddens used to analyze the data findings. The results indicated that poverty for non-quota poor users was interpreted as (i) unemployed conditions, and (ii) inability to meet health needs. Reproduction of “poor” meaning occurred when informants relate it to the accessibility of health services. This term was also reproduced into business and political interests by health officers and government officials at the poor village. Discursive awareness among agents involved in non-quota health services modified the service.
Abstrak

Surat Keterangan Tidak Mampu (SKTM) dari Dinas Sosial Kabupaten Sidoarjo menjadi sebuah mekanisme bagi masyarakat miskin non kuota untuk mengakses pelayanan kesehatan. Dilema terjadi manakala Dinas Sosial Kabupaten Sidoarjo mengindikasikan bahwa 80% pengguna surat tersebut tidak tepat sasaran. Pemahaman pengguna surat rekomendasi tidak mampu dan penyelenggara pelayanan kesehatan tentang makna miskin memiliki peran penting dalam fenomena tersebut. Penelitian ini berupaya mengidentifikasi reproduksi makna miskin pada pelayanan kesehatan masyarakat miskin non kuota di Kabupaten Sidoarjo. Menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, penelitian ini dilakukan di Kecamatan Sidoarjo dan Kecamatan Tarik yang memiliki karakteristik berbeda guna memperolah hasil yang komprehensif. Teori Strukturasi dari Anthony Giddens digunakan untuk menganalisis temuan data. Hasil penelitian menemukan bahwa kemiskin bagi pengguna masyarakat miskin non kuota dimaknai sebagai (i) kondisi tanpa pekerjaan, dan (ii) ketidakmampuan memenuhi kebutuhan kesehatan. Reproduksi makna miskin terjadi manakala informan berhubungan dengan aksesibilitas layanan kesehatan. Melalui petugas medis dan aparatur pemerintah desa miskin direproduksi menjadi kepentingan bisnis dan politis. Kesadaran diskursif antar agen yang terlibat dalam pelayanan kesehatan non kuota telah memodifikasi layanan tersebut.

Published: July 2020

Abstract

Azolla pinnata is an aquatic plant that comes from the order of Pteridophyta and family of Azollaceae that can be found floating on the surface of waters and can only grow at non-moving or slow-moving water areas. This research aims to understand the effect of different extraction methods and fertilizers on Azolla pinnata and its secondary metabolites. The fertilizers treatments that were tested were chicken manure and AB. The different extraction methods that were tested were SFE and Soxhlet extraction. In the test, the amount of dry weight of A.pinnata obtained from using AB fertilizer was higher compared to chicken manure. For the extraction, both SFE and Soxhlet extraction produced an almost similar amount of extracts but different amounts of secondary metabolites. The amounts of the secondary metabolites were determined and analyzed using GC-MS. The metabolites identified were theamine, bioxirane, acetic acid, 9 methyl-1-decene, glycerine, dihydroxyacetone, thymine, pyranone, 6-fluoro-2-trifluoromethylbenzoic acid, 2-formyl-4,6 dichlorophenyl ester, and isoglutamine. Based on the result, treatment with AB fertilizer provides higher amounts of secondary metabolites in A.pinnata compared to chicken manure, while for extraction methods, SFE provides higher amounts of secondary metabolites in A.pinnata compared to Soxhlet extraction.

Abstract
There are more than 522 towns and cities in Bangladesh, which generate thousands of tons of solid waste known as Municipal Solid Waste. Low collection coverage and disposal facilities are responsible for unsatisfactory waste management. The composting technology is a good alternative method for managing MSW. The present study was conducted to assess the quality of the MSW compost produced from the solid wastes of Mymensingh Pourashava. For quality assessment physical, chemical and biological properties of prepared compost namelye bulk density, porosity, water-holding capacity, moisture content, pH, organic matter content, C:N ratio, NPKS content, buffering capacity, soluble salts content, heavy metal content and the presence of harmful organisms in the MSW compost were studied. The results indicated that the MSW compost was matured and stable having pH 7.3 and buffering capacity of the MSW compost were good but the organic matter content and C : N (14.5) ratio were low. The N, P, K and S content of the MSW compost were 0.9, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.45 percent of the total volume. The soluble salts content and heavy metal content of the compost were found to be within the permissible limits. The MSW compost contained no E. coli and Salmonella. From the results, it can be concluded that, the composting could produce acceptable quality of compost, which can be used as fertilizer or soil amendment.

Published: July 2020

Abstract
This study aims to synthesize hybrid compounds “via” the coupling of sulphonamide and benzothiazole into one structure that may have improved antibacterial property. The N-(biphenyl-4-yl) thiourea (1) used for the synthesis of the targeted sulphonamides was obtained by reacting diphenylamine and ammonium thiocyanate at room temperature. Cyclization of N-(biphenyl-4-yl)thiourea gave 2-amino-6-phenylbenzothiazole (2) which reacted with benzenesulphonyl chloride and para-toulene sulphonyl chloride to give the targeted sulphonamides (3a & 3b). The synthesized compounds were characterised using melting point, infra-red spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance and elemental analysis. Anti-bacterial screening of the synthesised compounds indicated that all the compounds showed anti-bacterial properties, except 2-amino-6-phenylbenzothiazole that did not show any activity on Escherichia coli.

Published: July 2020

Abstract
The investigation into wear resistance is an up-to-date problem from the point of view of both scientific and engineering practice. In this study, HVOF coatings such as MCrAlY (CoNiCrAlY and NiCoCrAlY) and NiCrMo were deposited on AISI 310 (X15CrNi25-20) stainless steel substrates. The microstructural properties and surface morphology of the as-sprayed coatings were examined. Cavitation erosion tests were conducted using the vibratory method in accordance with the ASTM G32 standard. Sliding wear was examined with the use of a ball-on-disc tribometer, and friction coefficients were measured. The sliding and cavitation wear mechanisms were identified with the SEM-EDS method. In comparison to the NiCrMo coating, the MCrAlY coatings have lower wear resistance. The cavitation erosion resistance of the as-sprayed M(Co,Ni)CrAlY coatings is almost two times lower than that of the as-sprayed NiCrMoFeCo deposit. Moreover, the sliding wear resistance increases with increasing the nickel content as follows: CoNiCrAlY < NiCoCrAlY < NiCrMoFeCo. The mean friction coefficient of CoNiCrAlY coating equals of 0.873, which almost 50% exceed those reported for coating NiCrMoFeCo of 0.573. The as-sprayed NiCrMoFeCo coating presents superior sliding wear and cavitation erosion resistance to the as-sprayed MCrAlY (CoNiCrAlY and NiCoCrAlY) coatings.
