Published: March 2021

Abstract
In this study the radiation shielding properties of mortar samples were investigated. The samples were created by replacing heavyweight particles of iron, steel and chromium waste by calcareous sand in different volume percentages. Additionally, the effects of the physical properties of particles and samples on shielding properties is also discussed. In the scope of this work, the radiation shielding properties of mortar samples were measured by determining the values of mass attenuation coefficients by means of an experimental setup consisting of 133Ba, 137Cs and 60Co standard point sources and high purity germanium (HPGe) detector. It’s concluded that the highest mass attenuation coefficient values among the heavy particles were achieved by chromium particles. However, all the high-density particles used in the study improved the radiation shielding properties of the mortars considerably compared to ordinary mortars.

Abstract
Kristiansen, M, Thomsen, MJ, Nørgaard, J, Aaes, J, Knudsen, D, and Voigt, M. The effect of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation on quadriceps maximal voluntary contraction, corticospinal excitability, and voluntary activation levels. J Strength Cond Res 36(6): 1540–1547, 2022—Anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (a-tDCS) has previously been shown to improve maximal isometric voluntary contraction (MVIC), possibly through an upregulation of corticospinal excitability. Because muscle strength is an essential part of the performance of many sports, any ergogenic effect of a-tDCS on this parameter could potentially increase performance outcomes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a-tDCS on MVIC, voluntary activation levels (VALs), and corticospinal excitability, assessed by eliciting motor-evoked potentials (MEPs), in untrained subjects. Thirteen subjects completed 2 test sessions in which they received either a-tDCS or sham stimulation for 3 consecutive intervals of 10 minutes, separated by 5-minute breaks. Before and after each stimulation session, transcranial magnetic stimulation was used to elicit MEPs, and femoral nerve stimulation was used to assess VAL by measuring twitch torque during an MVIC test and in a relaxed state. Two-way analyses of variance with statistical significance set at p ≤ 0.05 were used to test for differences. A significant main effect was identified, as the MVIC pre-test (271.2 ± 56.6 Nm) was on average 4.1% higher compared to the post-test (260.6 ± 61.4 Nm) (p = 0.05). No significant differences were found in MEP, MVIC, or VAL as a result of stimulation type or time. In healthy subjects, the potential for improvement in corticospinal excitability may be negligible, which may in turn explain the lack of improvements in MEP, MVIC, and VAL after a-tDCS. The small decrease in MVIC for both conditions and nonsignificant changes in MEP and VAL do not justify the use of a-tDCS in combination with sporting performance in which the intent is to increase maximal isometric strength performance in the quadriceps muscle of healthy subjects.
Metabolic Adaptations to Weight Loss: A Brief Review

Abstract
Martínez-Gómez, MG and Roberts, BM. Metabolic adaptations to weight loss: A brief review. J Strength Cond Res 36(10): 2970–2981, 2022—As the scientific literature has continuously shown, body mass loss attempts do not always follow a linear fashion nor always go as expected even when the intervention is calculated with precise tools. One of the main reasons why this tends to happen relies on our body's biological drive to regain the body mass we lose to survive. This phenomenon has been referred to as “metabolic adaptation” many times in the literature and plays a very relevant role in the management of obesity and human weight loss. This review will provide insights into some of the theoretical models for the etiology of metabolic adaptation as well as a quick look into the physiological and endocrine mechanisms that underlie it. Nutritional strategies and dietetic tools are thus necessary to confront these so-called adaptations to body mass loss. Among some of these strategies, we can highlight increasing protein needs, opting for high-fiber foods or programming-controlled diet refeeds, and diet breaks over a large body mass loss phase. Outside the nutritional aspects, it might be wise to increase the physical activity and thus the energy flux of an individual when possible to maintain diet-induced body mass loss in the long term. This review will examine these protocols and their viability in the context of adherence and sustainability for the individual toward successful body mass loss.

Abstract
Fields, JB, Lameira, DM, Short, JL, Merrigan, JM, Gallo, S, White, JB, and Jones, MT. Relationship between external load and self-reported wellness measures across a collegiate men's soccer preseason. J Strength Cond Res 35(5): 1182–1186, 2021—Monitoring athlete training load is important to training programming and can help balance training and recovery periods. Furthermore, psychological factors can affect athlete's performance. Therefore, the purpose was to examine the relationship between external load and self-reported wellness measures during soccer preseason. Collegiate men soccer athletes (n = 20; mean ± SD age: 20.3 ± 0.9 years; body mass: 77.9 ± 6.8 kg; body height: 178.87 ± 7.18cm; body fat: 10.0 ± 5.0%; V̇o
2max: 65.39 ± 7.61ml·kg−1·min−1) participated. Likert scale self-assessments of fatigue, soreness, sleep, stress, and energy were collected daily in conjunction with the Brief Assessment of Mood (vigor, depression, anger, fatigue, and confusion). Total distance (TD), player load (PL), high-speed distance (HSD, >13 mph [5.8 m·s−1]), high inertial movement analysis (IMA, >3.5 m·s−2), and repeated high-intensity efforts (RHIEs) were collected in each training session using positional monitoring (global positioning system/global navigation satellite system [GPS/GNSS]) technology. Session rate of perceived exertion (sRPE) was determined from athlete's post-training rating (Borg CR-10 Scale) and time of training session. Multilevel models revealed the bidirectional prediction of load markers on fatigue, soreness, sleep, energy, and sRPE (p < 0.05). Morning ratings of soreness and fatigue were predicted by previous afternoon's practice measures of TD, PL, HSD, IMA, RHIE, and sRPE. Morning soreness and fatigue negatively predicted that day's afternoon practice TD, PL, HSD, IMA, RHIE, and sRPE. Morning ratings of negative mood were positively predicted by previous day's afternoon practice HSD. In addition, negative morning mood states inversely predicted HSD (p = 0.011), TD (p = 0.002), and PL (p < 0.001) for that day's afternoon practice. Using self-reported wellness measures with GPS/GNSS technology may enhance the understanding of training responses and inform program development.
Brain Activity Foreshadows Stock Price Dynamics
Authors: Stallen Mirre , Borg Nicholas , Knutson Brian 
Published: March 2021

Successful investing is challenging since stock prices are difficult to consistently forecast. Recent neuroimaging evidence suggests, however, that activity in brain regions associated with anticipatory affect may not only predict individual choice, but also forecast aggregate behavior out-of-sample. Thus, in two experiments, we specifically tested whether anticipatory affective brain activity in healthy humans could forecast aggregate changes in stock prices. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, we found in a first experiment (n= 34, 6 females; 140 trials/subject) that nucleus accumbens activity forecast stock price direction, whereas anterior insula (AIns) activity forecast stock price inflections. In a second preregistered replication experiment (n= 39, 7 females) that included different subjects and stocks, AIns activity still forecast stock price inflections. Importantly, AIns activity forecast stock price movement even when choice behavior and conventional stock indicators did not (e.g., previous stock price movements), and classifier analysis indicated that forecasts based on brain activity should generalize to other markets. By demonstrating that AIns activity might serve as a leading indicator of stock price inflections, these findings imply that neural activity associated with anticipatory affect may extend to forecasting aggregate choice in dynamic and competitive environments such as stock markets.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTMany try but fail to consistently forecast changes in stock prices. New evidence, however, suggests that anticipatory affective brain activity may not only predict individual choice, but also may forecast aggregate choice. Assuming that stock prices index collective choice, we tested whether brain activity sampled during the assessment of stock prices could forecast subsequent changes in the prices of those stocks. In two neuroimaging experiments, a combination of previous stock price movements and brain activity in a region implicated in processing uncertainty and arousal forecast next-day stock price changes—even when behavior did not. These findings challenge traditional assumptions of market efficiency by implying that neuroimaging data might reveal “hidden information” capable of foreshadowing stock price dynamics.

Published: March 2021

Objective
Alterations in thyroid function tests (TFTs) have been recorded during SARS-CoV-2 infection as associated to either a destructive thyroiditis or a non-thyroidal illness.

Methods
We studied 144 consecutive COVID-19 patients admitted to a single center in intensive or subintensive care units. Those with previous thyroid dysfunctions or taking interfering drugs were excluded. Differently from previous reports, TSH, FT3, FT4, thyroglobulin (Tg), anti-Tg autoantibodies (TgAb) were measured at baseline and every 3–7 days. C-reacting protein (CRP), cortisol and IL-6 were also assayed.

Results
The majority of patients had a normal TSH at admission, usually with normal FT4 and FT3. Low TSH levels were found either at admission or during hospitalization in 39% of patients, associated with low FT3 in half of the cases. FT4 and Tg levels were normal, and TgAb-negative. TSH and FT3 were invariably restored at the time of discharge in survivors, whereas were permanently low in most deceased cases, but only FT3 levels were predictors of mortality. Cortisol, CRP and IL-6 levels were higher in patients with low TSH and FT3 levels.

Conclusions
Almost half of our COVID-19 patients without interfering drugs had normal TFTs both at admission and during follow-up. In this series, the transient finding of low TSH with normal FT4 and low FT3 levels, inversely correlated with CRP, cortisol and IL-6 and associated with normal Tg levels, is likely due to the cytokine storm induced by SARS-Cov-2 with a direct or mediated impact on TSH secretion and deiodinase activity, and likely not to a destructive thyroiditis.

Published: March 2021

ABSTRAKFitur Pick-List yang ada pada Winisis merupakan cara untuk membantu kemudahan petugas mengimput data dalam pemasukan data pada suatu sistem aplikasi. Dengan sarana ini pembuatan cantuman menjadi lebih efisien karena isi ruas yang panjang dan sering digunakan tidak perlu diketik. Sebagai contoh, Perpustaan yang menerima Karya Tulis Ilmiah (KTI) terbitan dari Pusat Penelitian dan Pengembangan Perikanan Budidaya, Jakarta, secara teratur akan mengisi ruas PENERBITAN dengan nama kota tempat badan ini bekedudukan dan nama badan ini untuk setiap terbitan baru. Agar isi ruas PENERBITAN untuk terbitan dari Pusat Penelitian dan Pengembangan Perikanan Budidaya tidak perlu diketik lagi, karena dalam program Winisis dapat diciptakan daftar isi pilihan isi ruas, yang salah satu isinya adalah ‘^aJakarta^b Pusat Penelitian dan Pengembangan Perikanan Budidaya’. Melalui fitur ini, petugas input data hanya perlu memilih salah satu Pick-List yang ingin diinput dari suatu daftar yang sudah disediakan sebelumnya. ABSTRACTPick-list feature in Winsis is a tool to assist a librarian to input data on data entry in an application system. This feature makes a listing become more efficient because the long segment of content which is often used, doesn’t need to to be typed. For example, libraries which regularly receive scientific paper published by the Research and Development Center of Aquaculture Institute, Jakarta, will fill PUBLISHING segment including the name of the city where this agency is located for each new issue. Content of publishing segment for publication by the Research and Development Center of Aquaculture does not necessary to be typed anymore because in Winsis program content choices segment can be created by an instruction ^aJakarta^b Research and Development Centre Aquaculture. Through this feature, data input officer needs to only select one of Pick-List which meant to be inputted from a list that has been provided previously.

Published: March 2021

ABSTRAKKnowledge repository Kementrian Kelautan dan Perikanan (KKP) bertujuan untuk menjaring informasi yang telah dihasilkan oleh KKP sebagai local content yang akan dijadikan sumber rujukan utama informasi Kelautan dan Perikanan di Indonesia. Dalam membangun Knowledge repository maka peran pustakawan sangat besar dalam menjaring informasi local content dan mengolahnya secara digital. Peran pustakawan sangat dipengaruhi oleh kompetensi yang dimiliki oleh pustakawan dan juga kondisi perpustakaan sebagai tempat pustakawan bekerja. Perpustakaan sebagai institusi pengolah informasi sangat besar pengaruhnya terhadap kinerja pustakawan dalam meningkatkan peran perpustakaan sebagai knowledge repository. Kondisi perpustakaan di lingkup KKP pada saat ini secara struktural kedudukannya masih rendah dan juga belum memenuhi Standar Nasional Indonesia (SNI) tentang penyelenggaraan perpustakaan di lingkup Instansi Pemerintah. SNI tentang perpustakaan ini telah diadopsi oleh KKP dalam bentuk Permen KP No.8 2014 tentang penyelenggaraan perpustakaan di lingkup KKP namun belum diimplentasikan secara optimal. Agar Pustakawan lebih berperan dalam mendukung Knowledge Repository KKP, maka perlu dilakukan optimalisasi pelaksanaan Permen KP No.8 Tahun 2014, dan meningkatkan kedudukan perpustakaan secara struktural di seluruh unit kerja/satker di lingkup KKP. ABSTRACTKnowledge repository Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF) aims to capture the information that has been generated by the MMAF as local content that will be the main reference source of information on the Indonesian Marine and Fisheries. In building the Knowledge repository, the role of librarians is very large in capturing local content and process information digitally. The role of librarians is strongly influenced by the competencies possessed by librarians and library conditions as a place to work. Library as an institution of information processing has very large influence on the performance of librarians in enhancing the role of the library as a knowledge repository. The Conditions of libraries in the scope of the MMAF at this time structurally position is still low and do not meet the Indonesian National Standard (SNI). SNI of the library has been adopted by the MMAF in the form of ministry regulations KP No.8 year 2014 on the administration of the library in the scope of MMAF. In order Librarians do more to support the MMAF Knowledge Repository, it is necessary to optimize the implementation of ministry regulations KP No.8 Year 2014, and improve the position of library as structurally in all work units / work units in the scope of the MMAF.
Safety and Efficacy of Daratumumab in Patients with Proliferative GN with Monoclonal Immunoglobulin Deposits
Authors: Zand Ladan , Rajkumar S. Vincent , Leung Nelson , Sethi Sanjeev , El Ters Mireille , Fervenza Fernando C. 
Published: March 2021

Significance Statement
Treatment of proliferative GN with monoclonal Ig deposition (PGNMID), in which direct deposition of the monoclonal proteins damages the kidney, is not established. Daratumumab, a monoclonal anti-CD38 antibody, has shown effectiveness as multiple myeloma therapy. In an open-label, phase 2 study, the authors evaluated safety and efficacy of a 6-month course of intravenous daratumumab in 11 patients with PGNMID and one with C3 glomerulopathy with monoclonal gammopathy. Five episodes of serious adverse events (two of which were infection related) occurred. All ten patients with PGNMID who received at least one daratumumab dose experienced a significant reduction in proteinuria at 6 months, which was sustained in seven patients by 12 months. Overall, in this pilot study, daratumumab’s acceptable toxicity profile and significant improvement in proteinuria, while stabilizing kidney function, suggest further investigation is warranted.

Background
Treatment of proliferative GN with monoclonal Ig deposits (PGNMID) is not established. A monoclonal anti-CD38 antibody (daratumumab) is effective in treating multiple myeloma. Abnormal plasma cell clones may play a role in the pathogenesis of PGNMID.

Methods
We evaluated daratumumab’s safety and efficacy in an open-label, phase 2 trial in 11 adults with PGNMID and one with C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) with monoclonal gammopathy. Patients had an eGFR >20 ml/min per 1.73 m2 and proteinuria >1 g/d. They received daratumumab intravenously (16 mg/kg) once weekly for 8 weeks, and then every other week for eight additional doses. Primary outcome was safety, defined as major infections, grade 3 or 4 anemia, leukopenia, or thrombocytopenia. Secondary outcomes were rate of complete remission (proteinuria <500 mg/d with <15% decline in baseline eGFR) or partial remission (>50% reduction in 24-hour proteinuria with <30% decline in eGFR) and proteinuria at 6 and 12 months.

Results
One patient with C3G had GN unrelated to the monoclonal gammopathy, and one with PGNMID did not complete the first infusion. Five serious adverse events occurred. During the 12 months of the trial, six of the ten patients with PGNMID who received at least one dose of daratumumab had a partial response, and four had a complete response (an overall response rate of 100%). Three patients experienced relapse, two of whom re-entered partial remission after resuming daratumumab therapy. Proteinuria declined significantly, from a median of 4346 mg/d to 1264 mg/d by 12 months.

Conclusions
Daratumumab demonstrated an acceptable safety profile and resulted in significant improvement in proteinuria while stabilizing kidney function in patients with PGNMID, suggesting the drug merits further investigation.

Avocado is a climacteric fruit that still conducting physiological processes after being harvested, so that the fruit can reduce its freshness and increase its damage at room temperature. One treatment to extend the shelf life of avocados is by using an edible coating. Natural edible coating that has the potential to be used as a coating for avocados is aloe vera gel. The objective of this study was to determine an optimum concentration of edible coating made from aloe vera gel for avocado in order to extend its shelf life under room temperature storage. Three level concentrations of aloe vera gel used in this research were 30% (AV30), 50% (AV50), and without coating (Control). The quality parameters analyzed were weight loss, skin water content, percent of decay, hardness, color, and total soluble solids. The results showed that edible aloe vera gel coating significantly affected weight loss, skin water content, percent of decay, hardness, and total soluble solids of avocados. Among the treatments, the research found and recommend that the 50% of aloe vera coating was good enough to extend avocado until 18 days under room temperature storage.
