Published: December 2024

Batutegi Reservoir is one of the important surface water resources in Lampung Province because the potential water it contains has many functions and uses, including as a source of irrigation water for the Sekampung System irrigation area and as a source of water for hydroelectric power plants (PLTA). In order to maintain the sustainability of the reservoir's functions and uses, efforts are needed to maintain the water balance of the reservoir. In this study, an analysis of the physical characteristics and environmental conditions of the Batutegi reservoir catchment area and their influence on reservoir water storage is conducted, aiming to determine the optimum catchment area size that needs to be maintained. Data from various sources, including Landsat 7 and 8 OLI images, are used to evaluate changes in the catchment area conditions during the period of 2004-2023. The research results show that the highest coefficient of determination (R2) between NDVI and NDWI is indicated in land cover conditions with very low density (class 1) at 95.59%, followed by high density (class 4) at 94.80%, low density (class 2) at 92.31%, and medium density (class 3) at 87.58%. The area of land cover with dense vegetation conditions in the Upper Sekampung Watershed as the catchment area of the Batutegi reservoir tends to decrease over time. Analysis of Landsat images using the Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) methods can assist in mapping vegetation conditions and the extent of the Batutegi reservoir inundation. Keywords: Catchment Area, Landsat Imagery, NDVI, NDWI, Reservoir.

Cilembu sweet potato production in Lampung reached 28,494,000 tons/year (2015 statistical data). The selling price of Cilembu sweet potatoes in traditional markets is low, ranging from IDR 4,000 to IDR 10,000/Kg. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out appropriate processing in order to increase the selling price of Cilembu sweet potatoes. One way that can be done is by making Cilembu sweet potatoes into a chips product using a Vacuum Frying fryer. A vacuum fryer is a vacuum fryer which has the advantage of frying fruit and vegetables into crispier chips and maintaining product quality without preservatives. The aim of this research is to analyze the influence of temperature and pressure on the results of frying Cilembu sweet potato chips using a Vacuum Frying fryer and determine the optimal temperature and pressure needed to produce the best quality Cilembu sweet potato chips. The research method used was a factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The experimental factors in this study used two factors, temperature (T), namely 80°C, 85°C, 90°C and pressure (P) -66 cmHg, -68 cmHg, -70 cmHg, with repetition 3 times to produce 27 experimental units. The parameters observed were material weight loss analysis (random), water content, and sensory tests. It can be concluded that the optimal choice of temperature and pressure in operating the Vacuum Frying tool for frying Cilembu sweet potato chips is a temperature of 90°C and a pressure of -68 cmHg. The quality of frying pans with a temperature of 90°C and a pressure of -68 cmHg is included in the best product category in this research based on overall acceptance which has a yield value of 35%, water content of 3.3%, and a color sensory test score of 3.75 (yellow), aroma 2.95 (the aroma of Cilembu sweet potato chips is a bit strong), taste 4.25 (like it), crunchiness 4.2 (crisp). Keywords: Chips, Cilembu Sweet Potato, Vacuum Frying.

Aim: The aim of the research was to replace gas energy with renewable solar thermal energy in a white wine distillation process to obtain brandy.

Theoretical background: Almost all distillers of spirits in the world use conventional energy that produces carbon dioxide, solar energy in this distillation process is an environmentally friendly alternative.

Method: In this study, a reused ck-002 parabolic solar cooker was used and the wine was obtained from a fermentation of Italian white grapes. In each distillation, the black painted still was filled with 4 L of wine. When distilling, solar energy was compared to liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) energy. The distillation tests were carried out from 10:00 to 14:00 h under ambient conditions.

Results and conclusion: The solar distillation time was 140 min and its boiling temperature in the receiving of the spirit was between 88 to 93 °C, in the gas cooker the time was 240 min and boiling temperature was 84 to 93°C. The heating of the still using solar energy was homogeneous with respect to the gas cooker. Solar energy presents a good alternative to replace gas energy in the distillation process to obtain brandy, reducing its cost without producing CO2.

Implications of the research: To look for alternatives that can substitute gas energy, such as solar energy, which produces less negative impacts on the environment.

Originality/value: The use of solar distillers is a technology that will reduce the production of CO2.

Published: December 2024

Objective: The objective of this study was to use geoprocessing tools to identify burned areas and quantify the burned areas in the state of Mato Grosso during 2022, aiming at preventing and combating wildfires within the municipal territory.

Theoretical Framework: Episodes of wildfire outbreaks in vegetation areas are related to permanent factors such as topography, fuel material, and forest type, as well as variable factors like weather conditions, humidity, and temperature. Wildfire outbreaks are recurrent in the state of Mato Grosso, which contains three types of biomes (Amazon, Pantanal, and Cerrado), leading to the degradation of water, soil, and air quality, and impacting the biodiversity of the local fauna.

Method: The detection of fire hotspots is carried out through the analysis of satellite images, such as Landsat 8 and 9, using the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), calculated using bands 4 (red) and 5 (near infrared).

Results and Discussion: The maps show that, during the wet season, the highest densities of fire outbreaks occur in the central region, primarily in the Amazon and Cerrado biomes. During the dry season, the highest fire hotspots are predominantly found in the northern region, within the Amazon biome.

Research Implications: The research highlights the importance of continuous monitoring of fires in native vegetation areas, emphasizing the economic damages and environmental impacts resulting from these events. The use of geotechnologies proved essential for the spatial and temporal analysis of heat hotspots, allowing for a more detailed understanding of burning patterns in the state of Mato Grosso.

Originality/Value: This study can contribute to the improvement of wildfire monitoring, mitigation, and prevention strategies, providing direct benefits for biodiversity conservation and the sustainability of affected areas.

Published: December 2024

In this paper, we report on students’ self-assessment of the impact of engagement in various Service-Learning (SL) projects, specifically focused on relevant All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) engineering education outcomes. We report on the self-assessment by undergraduate students who had and didn’t have projects. The assessment spans students across multiple years in the Masters of Technology Environmental Engineering (MTEE) program and covers a range of projects, including water quality assessment, water audits in institutions, and water policy formulation. Students who participated in the SL projects were surveyed on the impact of their participation in these projects on the achievement of selected AICTE engineering education outcomes. The results demonstrated that student self-assessment of the achievement of outcomes showed a significant increase in attainment levels, as well as in the number of students attaining higher levels through their participation in SL projects. This was the case for undergraduate students who participated in some SL projects and MTEE graduate students who were required to engage in the various real projects that the institution took on. The data broadly demonstrates that student’s own assessment of the enhancement of their achievement of AICTE learning outcomes affirms the relevance and value of service-learning and project-based learning. This is an additional study that shows the tremendous educational benefits of incorporating SL into engineering curricula.
Por un desarrollo cívico, ético y pacífico
Authors: Bajoit Guy 
Published: December 2024

El artículo propone una “teoría relacional del desarrollo” que es definida como la capacidad de una sociedad nacional para enfrentar adecuadamente lo que son definidos como los siete problemas vitales de la vida en común: bienestar material; autonomía internacional, seguridad ecológica, orden político interno, coexistencia pacífica interna, integración social, proyecto cultural de vida buena. Se analizan las complejidades y las barreras que dificultan un adecuado enfrentamiento de esos desafíos y, particularmente, las contradicciones sociales dentro de las cuales esos problemas vitales tienen existencia. Justamente, partiendo de esto, en su parte final se señalan las consideraciones a tener en cuenta, a manera de evidencia históricas, para que los sectores dominados de la sociedad tengan peso en la manera de resolver estos problemas vitales. Asimismo, se afirma la existencia de un cambio de época en el capitalismo que es clave para entender cómo resolver esos problemas que actualmente se muestran en crisis bajo la hegemonía de un capitalismo neoliberal.
El debate sobre el lugar y posición de la economía en el desarrollo
Authors: González Raúl 
Published: December 2024

En este texto se muestra y se problematiza el lugar diverso con que ha sido vista la economía como campo de la realidad y de la acción social en la producción del desarrollo. Se parte de un texto extraordinariamente claro al respecto escrito por el autor francés Alain Peyrefitte: “Los Milagros Económicos”. Tomando a este como referencia de la idea de que el desarrollo proviene de “liberar” a la economía de ataduras diversas provenientes de la política, la religión o la tradición, y constituir al emprendimiento y al deseo de ganancia como motivaciones y practicas sociales altamente reconocidas, se recorren otro conjunto de visiones del desarrollo, en planos de fines y medios, que han estado presentes desde el siglo XIX y que comparten o entran en grados de tensión y polémica, a veces radical, con aquella visión. En particular se muestra que las visiones críticas a la sociedad actual y a sus problemas relacionales interhumanos, intrahumanos y con la naturaleza tienen como elemento común un control de la economía expresado como su reinserción en la sociedad y su sometimiento a consideraciones ecológicas, políticas, culturales y sociales.

Published: December 2024

Background:
Recent studies have suggested that high-dose tranexamic acid (TXA) may be an effective method for reducing blood loss during adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) surgery. This study aims to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the outcomes of high-dose versus low-dose TXA for AIS surgery.

Methods:
Searches were conducted in major databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library for relevant studies comparing high-dose and low-dose TXA outcomes in terms of blood loss, red blood cell transfusions, and hemoglobin changes. This systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines and registered with PROSPERO (CRD42024547735).

Results:
Four studies were included, published between 2009 and 2022, encompassing a total of 531 patients. High-dose TXA showed less blood loss compared to low-dose TXA, with a pooled mean difference of −0.40 (95% CI, −0.79–−0.01). Neither the volume of blood products used nor the decrease in hemoglobin levels showed significant differences between the groups.

Conclusion:
High-dose TXA appears to be more effective in reducing blood loss during AIS surgery compared to low-dose TXA. Further robust clinical trials with larger sample sizes are necessary to confirm these results and establish optimal dosing regimens for maximizing efficacy while ensuring safety.
Neurosurgical strategy based on the type of occult spinal dysraphism in omphalocele-exstrophy-imperforate anus-spinal defects complex: A review of 10 cases
Authors: Kurogi Ai , Murakami Nobuya , Morioka Takato , Shimogawa Takafumi , Mukae Nobutaka , Suzuki Satoshi O. , Yoshimoto Koji 
Published: December 2024

Background:
Omphalocele-exstrophy-imperforate anus-spinal defects (OEIS) complex is a rare, life-threatening congenital malformation primarily treated with abdominogenital repair. The optimal indication and timing of neurosurgical interventions for the associated spinal cord lesions remains insufficiently studied. We reviewed spinal dysraphism in OEIS to evaluate the best timing for neurosurgical intervention.

Methods:
We retrospectively reviewed 10 patients with OEIS, analyzing their clinical and imaging data, as well as surgical and pathological findings.

Results:
Terminal myelocystocele (TMCC) and spinal lipomas were observed in 5 patients each. Of the spinal lipomas, one had a single filar lipoma, while four had double lipomas (3 caudal and dorsal; 1 filar and dorsal). TMCC manifested with severe lower limb motor dysfunction in addition to abdominogenital disorder at birth, with the cyst-induced lumbosacral mass increasing over time. Spinal lipomas were less symptomatic except for abdominogenital issues and demonstrated minimal growth of the intraspinal lipoma over time. Untethering surgery was performed in 8 patients (5 TMCC; 3 spinal lipomas) at a median age of 3 (range, 2–10) months for TMCC and 6 (range, 2–14) months for spinal lipomas. One TMCC patient (surgery at 10 months) experienced postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leakage, necessitating three reoperations.

Conclusion:
Magnetic resonance imaging is essential to diagnose spinal cord malformations accurately. The necessity and timing of surgical intervention differ between TMCC and spinal lipomas. Since TMCC lesions tend to enlarge, surgery should be performed as soon as the patient’s abdominogenital condition stabilizes. For spinal lipomas, surgery should be considered carefully based on the patient’s neurological condition.
Investigating the presence and virulence potential of Enterococcus faecalis, with a focus on the hyaluronidase factor, in environmental samples: Insights from a pilot study
Authors: Dhanushiya R. , Abinaya S. , Siva V. , Paul C. Benedict 
Published: December 2024

Objectives:
Enterococcus faecalis is implicated in various human diseases, including urinary tract infections, dental conditions such as periodontitis, dental caries, systemic disorders such as infective endocarditis, meningitis, intra-abdominal infections, and wound infections. The virulence genes associated with these diseases include adhesins (ace, efaA, efaB, ebp), biofilm-forming factors (esp, gelE, fsr), cytolysin (cylA, cylB, cylM, cylL), hyaluronidase (hyl), aggregation substance (asp), gelatinase (gelE), enterococcal surface protein (esp), among others. In a prior investigation, we observed a higher prevalence of the hyl gene in medical isolates, prompting an exploration of its occurrence in the environment.

Material and Methods:
32 samples from diverse locations in and around Chennai were collected. Enterococcus spp. isolation was achieved using a partially selective medium (Ethyl Violet Azide medium). Subsequently, the isolates were identified as E. faecalis through polymerase chain reaction targeting the 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene. Positive 16S rRNA samples were further scrutinized for the presence of the hyl gene using Sequence Specific Oligonucleotide Primers.

Results:
Our findings indicated an E. faecalis incidence of 41%. However, none of the isolates tested positive for the hyl virulence gene.

Conclusion:
This study suggests that the hyl gene may play a pivotal role in pathogenesis, as previous investigations in our laboratory involving medical isolates reported a 71% incidence of the hyl gene. In addition, our results highlight the opportunistic nature of the organism.
