Published: August 2020

Abstract
In this study, a simulation of a vapor compression heat pump system for bed drying of rough rice have been carried out for various thicknesses in the range of 20-50 cm and various drying air mass flow rates in the range of 0.06 - 0.22 kg/s-m2. The modelling used was grouped into two parts, i.e. the determination of temperature and humidity of the air coming out of the heat pump and the drying process of the rough rice using these air conditions. Parameters related to flow rate and energy were expressed in units of cross-sectional area of the drying bed. Simulation results showed significant differences in drying time and temperature for various thicknesses and air mass flow rates but their energy consumptions were similar. Under these conditions the drying temperature and drying time obtained ranged between 34-45°C and 8-15 hours, respectively while the specific energy consumption was relatively low i.e. in the range of 1.07-1.36 MJ/kg of evaporated water for all the scenarios tested. The specific drying air mass flow rate of 0.3 and 0.5 kg/s/m3 did not provide significant differences in specific energy consumption. For the field applications, the selection of conditions for thickness and the appropriate air mass flow rate will depend on the user preference including the ease of mixing, drying time or energy consumption.

Abstract
The energy usage anlaysis has been done on the production of canned crab meat (Portunus pelagicus). The analysis was based on the walktrough and detailed energy auditing at a canned crab meat production company located in Indramayu, Indonesia. It aims at obtaining the specific energy consumption used to produce canned crab meat and its saving opportunity. The result showed that the energy specific varied depending on the operated capacity, from 10.04 MJ/kg to 31.73 MJ/kg, with the evarage of 16.21 MJ/kg. The primary energy consumption were including diesel fuel 9.95 MJ/kg (61.4 %), electricity 5.91 MJ/kg (36.5 %), and human biological energy 0.34 MJ/kg (2.1 %). The largest energy was consumed at pasteurisation process, amounted 10.21 MJ/kg. Energy saving can be gained in amount of 5.38 MJ/kg of crabs if the process is running in full capacity using two pasteurization tanks.
A simple method to determine patterns of wet and dry seasons
Authors: Setiawan B I 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
The objective of this paper is to describe a simple method to determine patterns of wet and dry seasons based on historical climate data. Here, the daily rainfall and evapotranspiration were used as input variables, each of which was accumulated over one year. The accumulated data was then estimated using a continuous equation in the form of a 6th order polynomial equation. Nets of the first derivate of the rainfall minus that of evapotranspiration were used to determine wet and dry periods. Here, the wet period occurs when the nets are positive, and the dry period occurs when the nets are negative. Later, algorithms were developed to point the start, end, and peak of, and to calculate the available rainwater in each period. The method was applied here to determine patterns of wet and dry seasons in Serang Regency, Banten Province, Indonesia. The climate data was collected from a local climate station managed by the National Agency for Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics from 1978 to 2018 (41 years). There were three wet periods and three dry periods. On average, the dry season started from 107±67 J-day to 263±113 J-day and was followed by the wet season till 121±57 J-day. In the dry season, the rainwater was deficit about -353 mm. Whereas, in the wet season, rainwater was surplus about 576 mm. And, in the whole season, the rainwater was surplus up to 223 mm, which may be conservable to anticipate water deficit in the dry season.
Watershed based model for water allocation
Authors: Baskoro DAP , Purwanto MYJ , Solahudin M 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
The city of Bekasi is located downstream of the Bekasi watershed, which currently cannot reach the target of access to clean water. Access to clean water in Bekasi City according to USAID (2017) only reaches 31.44%, thus it has not yet reached the target of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Moreover, many upstream areas of the watershed have been grown as a satellite city that plans to harvest more water to meet their needs. And also urban and rural areas in the whole watershed have population growth that needs a water supply. Increasing water demand due to population in upstream and downstream areas can cause water conflicts if not managed wisely. A water allocation study by making a model of the Bekasi watershed could explain better water allocation solution. This study’s purpose is to make a model for meeting the raw water demand of both urban and rural areas within Bekasi watershed. The more allocation of water in the upstream part of the Bekasi watershed (Sentul City) shows a decrease in the long-term water availability of water supply in the downstream watershed (Bekasi City). The development area of the upper part of Bekasi watershed should be evaluated properly and policy settings for water allocation can be analyzed using the dynamic model built.

Abstract

Purpose
To summarize recently published research reports and practice guidelines on emergency medicine (EM)–related pharmacotherapy.

Summary
Our author group was composed of 14 EM pharmacists, who used a systematic process to determine main sections and topics for the update as well as pertinent literature for inclusion. Main sections and topics were determined using a modified Delphi method, author and peer reviewer groups were formed, and articles were selected based on a comprehensive literature review and several criteria for each author-reviewer pair. These criteria included the document “Oxford Centre for Evidence-based Medicine – Levels of Evidence (March 2009)” but also clinical implications, interest to reader, and belief that a publication was a “key article” for the practicing EM pharmacist. A total of 105 articles published from January 2011 through July 2018 were objectively selected for inclusion in this review. This was not intended as a complete representation of all available pertinent literature. The reviewed publications address the management of a wide variety of disease states and topic areas that are commonly found in the emergency department: analgesia and sedation, anticoagulation, cardiovascular emergencies, emergency preparedness, endocrine emergencies, infectious diseases, neurology, pharmacy services and patient safety, respiratory care, shock, substance abuse, toxicology, and trauma.

Conclusion
There are many important recent additions to the EM-related pharmacotherapy literature. As is evident with the surge of new studies, guidelines, and reviews in recent years, it is vital for the EM pharmacist to continue to stay current with advancing practice changes.
The influence of warming and biotic interactions on the potential for range expansion of native and nonnative species
Authors: von Holle Betsy , Weber Sören E , Nickerson David M 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
Plant species ranges are expected to shift in response to climate change, however, it is unclear how species interactions will affect range shifts. Because of the potential for enemy release of invasive nonnative plant species from species-specific soil pathogens, invasive plants may be able to shift ranges more readily than native plant species. Additionally, changing climatic conditions may alter soil microbial functioning, affecting plant–microbe interactions. We evaluated the effects of site, plant–soil microbe interactions, altered climate, and their interactions on the growth and germination of three congeneric shrub species, two native to southern and central Florida (Eugenia foetida and E. axillaris), and one nonnative invasive from south America (E. uniflora). We measured germination and biomass for these plant species in growth chambers grown under live and sterile soils from two sites within their current range, and one site in their expected range, simulating current (2010) and predicted future (2050) spring growing season temperatures in the new range. Soil microbes (microscopic bacteria, fungi, viruses and other organisms) had a net negative effect on the invasive plant, E. uniflora, across all sites and temperature treatments. This negative response to soil microbes suggests that E. uniflora’s invasive success and potential for range expansion are due to other contributing factors, e.g. higher germination and growth relative to native Eugenia. The effect of soil microbes on the native species depended on the geographic provenance of the microbes, and this may influence range expansion of these native species.

Abstract

Objective
Remote electrical neuromodulation (REN) is a nonpharmacological acute migraine treatment that stimulates upper-arm peripheral nerves. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of REN for acute treatment of migraine in a real-world setting.

Methods
Real-world data were collected from patients who were using REN (Nerivio®, Theranica Bio-Electronics Ltd., Israel) between October 1, 2019, and March 31, 2020. Patients recorded their symptoms at baseline, two hours, and 24 hours post-treatment. Patients were stratified based on the type of visit and provider; in-person visits with headache specialists (HS group) or virtual visits with nonheadache specialists (NHS group). Efficacy outcome focused on intra-individual consistency of response across multiple attacks.

Results
We found that 58.9% (662/1,123) of the patients in the HS group and 74.2% (23/31) of the patients in the NHS group experienced pain relief at two hours in at least 50% of their treated attacks and 20.0% (268/1,339) of the patients in the HS group and 35.6% (16/45) of the patients in the NHS group experienced pain freedom at two hours in at least 50% of their treated attacks. The effects of REN on associated symptoms and improvement in function were also consistent in both groups. The incidence of device-related adverse events was very low (0.5%).

Conclusions
Real-world data confirm that REN results in meaningful clinical benefits with minimal side effects. REN may provide an effective drug-free treatment option for achieving consistent relief from migraine symptoms and may reduce the use of acute medications.
Medical Students’ Perspectives on Empathy: A Systematic Review and Metasynthesis
Authors: Costa-Drolon Emmanuel , Verneuil Laurence , Manolios Emilie , Revah-Levy Anne , Sibeoni Jordan 
Published: August 2020

Purpose
Some evidence indicates that physician empathy declines during medical training, which has made it the subject of much research. Qualitative studies are relevant in this context, focusing as they do on how students themselves conceive and understand empathy during medical school. The aim of this study was to explore medical students’ perspectives on empathy by conducting a metasynthesis, including a systematic review of the literature and analysis of included studies.

Method
The authors systematically searched 4 databases through June 17, 2019, for qualitative studies reporting medical students’ perspectives on empathy in medical school. They assessed article quality using the Critical Appraisal Skills Program, and they applied thematic analysis to identify key themes and synthesize them.

Results
The authors included 35 articles from 18 countries in their analysis. Four main themes emerged: (1) Defining empathy, with a lack of understanding of the concept; (2) Teaching empathy, with a focus on the hidden curriculum and clinical supervisors; (3) Willingness to be an empathetic doctor, with ambivalence expressed by some study participants; and (4) Evolution of empathy during medical school, specifically its decline.

Conclusions
Medical students are beset by theoretical confusion regarding the concept of empathy, and they express doubts about its utility and relevance. Instruction should focus on simpler concepts such as listening, and schools should leverage clinical supervisors’ strong influence on students’ empathy. Prioritizing certain types of knowledge (clinical facts) during medical education has a globally negative effect on medical students’ empathy.

Published: August 2020

Objective:
This study aimed to investigate the sedative effect of dexmedetomidine combined with midazolam nasal drops before a pediatric craniocerebral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Methods:
Eighty children who needed an MRI examination were enrolled in the present study and randomly divided into 2 groups: the observation group (dexmedetomidine combined with midazolam nasal drops) and the control group. After the children were given the medication, their heart rate, blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), and respiratory rate were continuously monitored and the adverse reactions such as nausea and vomiting, cough, restlessness, heart rate slowdown, and respiratory depression were observed.

Results:
The difference in the onset time between the 2 groups was not statistically significant (P > 0.05), but the duration was significantly longer in the observation group than in the control group (P < 0.01) and the examination success rate were significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:
The protocol of 3 μg/kg of a dexmedetomidine injection combined with 0.3 mg/kg of midazolam nasal drops is safe, easy to operate, and has a high success rate, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Authors: Volk Angela S. , Davis Matthew J. , Dempsey Robert F. , Masoumy Mohamad , Desai Priya K. , Hubli Eric , Buchanan Edward P. 
Published: August 2020

Background:
Variations in the clinical presentation of the unilateral cleft lip resulted in numerous surgical repair techniques used around the world. No universally accepted method exists to evaluate aesthetic surgical results. The purpose of this study is to use the Hubli lip grading system, developed by Smile Train, to evaluate the aesthetic results of unilateral cleft lip repairs based on the surgical technique used.

Methods:
A retrospective review was conducted of unilateral cleft lip repair operations performed by Smile Train surgeons throughout Africa, Americas, Asia Pacific, and Europe and Middle East between 2014 and 2018. Using the Hubli lip grading criteria, factoring in cleft severity, acceptable outcomes were identified and compared with the surgical technique used.

Results:
Eight thousand forty-one unilateral cleft lip repairs were reviewed. The majority utilized the rotational advancement technique (n = 5541, 68.9%) with a statistically significant percentage of acceptable outcomes (92.1%), followed by an acceptance rate of 91.9% with variations of the z-plasty technique, 90.5% with the straight-line repair and its variations, and 88.4% using “other” techniques (P < 0.05). The rotational advancement had the highest acceptable outcomes for complete cleft lips (94.7%, P < 0.0001), associated alveolar clefting (94.2%, P < 0.05), and concomitant clefting of the hard and/or soft palate (94.3%, P < 0.05).

Conclusion:
Regardless of surgical technique used, Smile Train surgeons maintain high rates of successful surgical outcomes. Results of our study will help complement and support existing medical infrastructure and training systems Smile Train employs for surgeons working with comprehensive cleft care teams around the world.

Abstract
A cleft lip, palate, and alveolus is one of the most common birth defects. Depending on the type of cleft, multiple surgeries may be required throughout the growth stage. Traditionally, an orthodontic-surgical approach has been adopted to treat maxillary retrusion. Osteodistraction it is the surgical choice in patients with severe midface retrusion that require maxillary advancement. Our objective is to present our experience using this orthodontic and surgical approach.
Induction of Ventral Spinal V0 Interneurons from Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells
Authors: Pardieck Jennifer , Harb Manwal , Sakiyama-Elbert Shelly 
Published: August 2020

AbstractThe ventral spinal population of V0 interneurons (INs) contribute to the coordinated movements directed by spinal central pattern generators (CPGs), including respiratory circuits and left-right alternation. One challenge in studying V0 INs has been the limited number of cells that can be isolated from primary sources for basic research or therapeutic use. However, derivation from a pluripotent source, such as has been done recently for other IN populations could reduce this issue. However, there is currently no protocol to specifically derive V0 interneurons from embryonic stem cells or induced pluripotent stem cells. To generate an induction protocol, mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) were grown in suspension culture and then exposed to retinoic acid (RA) and collected at different time points to measure mRNA expression of the V0 progenitor transcription factor marker, Dbx1, and post-mitotic transcription factor marker, Evx1. The cultures were also exposed to the sonic hedgehog signaling pathway agonist purmorphamine (purm) and the Notch signaling pathway inhibitor N-{N-(3,5-difluorophenacetyl-L-alanyl)}-(S)-phenylglycine-t-butyl-ester (DAPT) to determine if either of these pathways contribute to V0 IN induction, specifically the ventral (V0V) subpopulation. From the various parameters tested, the final protocol that generated the greatest percentage of cells expressing V0V IN markers was an 8 day protocol using 4 days of suspension culture to form embryoid bodies followed by addition of 1 μM RA from days 4 to 8, 100 nM purm from days 4 to 6, and 5 μM DAPT from days 6 to 8. This protocol will allow investigators to obtain V0 IN cultures for use in in vitro studies, such as those examining CPG microcircuits, electrophysiological characterization, or even for transplantation studies in injury or disease models.

Published: August 2020

PurposeDemand for dietary fibre-enriched and low sugar bakery products is increasing rapidly due to current high incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Overripe banana has been discarded due to its low quality and appearance. However, overripe banana exhibits rich sources of natural sweetener and dietary fibre which could potentially be used as a novel food ingredient in bakery product. Thus, the study aims to determine the nutritional properties, sensory acceptability and glycaemic index (GI) value of chocolate cookies formulated with overripe banana sweetener (OBS) as partial replacement (10, 15 and 20%) for table sugar and utilization of overripe banana residue (OBR) as partial replacement (8%) for wheat flour.Design/methodology/approachNutritional composition was analysed using AOAC methods and sensory acceptability using 7-point hedonic scaling method. In Vivo GI determination was continued according to FAO/WHO method.FindingsIncorporation of OBR and OBS significantly (p < 0.05) increased nutritional values of chocolate cookies. Chocolate cookies formulated with 8% OBR +20% OBS recorded the highest TDF (7.80%) and ash (1.47%) content. Sucrose content of chocolate cookies was reduced significantly with increasing level of OBS. Sensory scores for control and 8% OBR-incorporated cookie were not significant difference for all the sensory attributes. Moreover, incorporation of OBS up to 15% produced higher scores in term of aroma, flavour and overall acceptance. Three formulations of chocolate cookies (control, 8% OBR and 8% OBR +15% OBS) were selected for GI testing and recorded GI values of 63, 56 and 50, respectively.Originality/valueOverripe banana can be used as a food ingredient in developing high fibre and low-GI cookie.
When are employees idea champions? When they achieve progress at, find meaning in, and identify with work
Authors: De Clercq Dirk , Pereira Renato 
Published: August 2020

PurposeDrawing from conservation of resources (COR) theory, this study investigates the relationship between employees' perceived career progress and their championing behavior and particularly how this relationship might be invigorated by two critical personal resources at the job (work meaningfulness) and employer (organizational identification) levels.Design/methodology/approachQuantitative data were collected from a survey administered to 245 employees in an organization that operates in the oil industry.FindingsBeliefs about organizational support for career development are more likely to stimulate idea championing when employees find their job activities meaningful and strongly identify with the successes and failures of their employing organization.Practical implicationsThis study offers organizations deeper insights into the personal circumstances in which positive career-related energy is more likely to be directed toward the active mobilization of support for novel ideas.Originality/valueAs a contribution to extant championing research, this research details how employees' perceived career progress spurs their relentless efforts to push novel ideas, based on their access to complementary personal resources.
