Abstract
The increase in population accompanied by using LDPE plastic bags in households, traditional markets, and other shopping places impacts increasing LDPE plastic waste. This type of LDPE plastic waste is a problem because it has no sale value then buried in the landfill because of its non-biodegradable nature. So far, the method of decomposing LDPE plastic waste in order to reduce it has been carried out using the incineration method. Gas resulting from combustion in the combustion process causes pollution to the environment and disturbs the health of living things. This problem was solved by using the Waste to Energy (WTE) method, namely pyrolysis. LDPE plastic waste as a feed is converted to fuel oil using 1 unit of pyrolysis equipment by mixing it with a 1% zeolite catalyst at a temperature of 250°C for 6 hours. The volume of the conversion product is measured, and the characteristics of kerosene and diesel fuel are analyzed. The results of the analysis show that the converted fuel oil is a type of kerosene with the amount that can be converted is 1 ml of 1 gram LDPE plastic bag.

Abstract
The objective of this research is study on the fatigue strength and fracture behavior of DIN 34CrNiMo6 steel. The specimens were subjected to repeated torsion loading. The type of this steel generally used for turbine rotor, crankshaft, and gear. These components operate in elevation temperature and subjected by fatigue load. The test of fatigue strength were carried out under repeated torsion with variation of angle 10, 20, 30, and 40. The test temperature are also varied. on 5000C and 7000C and than compared to without heating one. The fracture surface were analyzed using scanning electron microscope (SEM) in order to identified the influence of temperature and variation of angles. The results of studies show that either the fatigue strength or fracture surface behavior are significant different. The value of fatigue strength under cyclic torsion which is heated on 7000C is higher than 5000C and original ones. Characteristic of surface fracture using scanning electron microscope showed that the increasing of temperature also change pattern of fracture surface significantly. On 7000C heating the fracture surface is smoother than others. On the specimen without heating plastic deformation area of fracture surface is clearer than others.

Abstract
Every country with a large number of population but has got a limited stock and deposit of natural resources must always anticipate domestic problems of poverty, hunger, poorer health and declining wellbeing. However, such a classic chain of problems is no longer to be faced alone by a country, as human environment has become so borderless. Neighbouring nations of densely populated countries may frequently have to face sequence of such problems especially in years when the world undergoing an extreme condition. Anticipative collaboration among them could presumably overcome the problems in more elegant way with effective resource utilization and efficient use of funds, while all stakeholders across borders getting mutual benefit with just and pride. The countries have to determine 2-starting points of concern: 1) Focus on the most challenging problem that urgently needs solution (e.g. potential problem of hunger); 2) Focus on particular natural resource base (e.g. a portion of remaining wetland ecosystem) that each country ready to allocate. Subsequent collaborative efforts should be focused on innovative science-tech inquiry and planning appropriate programs to tackle root of the main problem as trigger to overcome all other problems.

Abstract
The Senior Citizens’ Grant (SCG) is a major social protection intervention in Uganda aimed at reducing income poverty, facilitating access to social services, building a foundation for productive livelihoods, and enabling older persons to live a life of security and dignity. This study sought to generate evidence on the contribution of the SCG towards nutrition outcomes among older persons’ households in Uganda. A cross-sectional and mixed methods study design that employed both qualitative and quantitative approaches were used. The study found out that children in older persons households consumed only 2.16±0.67 meals a day; 50% of the households were severely food insecure; mean dietary diversity Scores for children was 11.0±6.40 and 9.3% of children 6-59 months were wasted. Study findings indicated that SCG did not contribute to household food security. In future, nutrition objectives should explicitly be included in the design of social protection programmes, using a multi-sectoral approach.

AbstractFlour is a raw material widely used in the manufacture of food products, but the gluten content in flour can cause allergies, especially in people with Celiac Diseases. Therefor, it is needed to find alternative raw materials for flour. One way to replace flour is to use gluten-free starch and modify it to obtain specific characteristics. In this study, modifications were made to several starches, namely canna starch, cassava starch, and taro starch, by a cross-linking method using Sodium Tripolyphosphate (STPP) with various concentrations (0%; 0.5%; 1%; 1.5%). Each best characteristic was applied in the manufacture of cookies, and then a sensory test was carried out. The best analysis results were at a concentration of 1.5% STTP with the characteristics of canna starch is 80.15% starch content, 24.42% amylose, 16.077 swelling power, and 20.67% solubility. The characteristics of Cassava starch were 61.91% starch content, 23.85% amylose, 17.157 swelling power, and 24.37% solubility. The taro starch characteristics were 67.75% starch content, 23.88% amylose, 14,823 swelling power, and 21.97% solubility. The sensory test showed that most of the panelists like cookies made from taro starch-modified.

Abstract

Bacillus thuringiensis an entomopathogenic bacteria is widely used as an active bio-insecticide, including to control Macrotermes gilvus termites. The effectiveness of B. thuringiensis as a bio-insecticide can be derived from both its protein and spore activities. For this reason, research was carried out to investigate effectiveness of protein separated from spores in controlling these termites. The study was arranged in a factorial completely randomized design with two factors, namely ten isolates of B. thuringiensis (first factor) and bio-insecticide separation treatment (second factor). Propagation medium was bio-urine enriched with 5% molasses. Bio-insecticide treatment was protein and supernatant of B. thuringiensis. Isolates used were B. thuringiensis isolates indigenous South Sumatera. Results showed no differences effect among B. thuringiensis isolates. The highest spore density in a solution without separation was isolate SMR-04 (11.23 x1012 spores/ml). Average spore density in supernatant treatment was MSP isolates (6.00 x 1012 spores/ml). The highest mortality occurred in KJ3P1 isolates on supernatant application. LT50 value was in range of 0.921-1.025 days. To control M. gilvus termites with protein and supernatants caused high mortality and low LT50 value. This suggested B. thurigiensis could be a candidate for biological control agents of M. gilvus in the future.

AbstractBackgroundIncrease in life-expectancy is not necessarily matched by an increase in quality of life.Objective(1) To explore the quality of life of patients over the age of 85 in the second decade following unicompartmental knee replacement surgery (2) To understand the usefulness of a priori themes from an evidence synthesis as a framework for primary qualitative analysis.DesignQualitative Research. A hermeneutic phenomenological approach, using a priori themes as sensitising concepts.ParticipantsAdults over the age of 85 who were part of an outcomes study in the second decade following unicompartmental knee joint replacement.MethodsSemi-structured interviews in people’s homes. Transcripts were coded and data sorted using a priori themes as sensitising concepts. Data that did not fit these themes, or that added nuance, were analysed thematically through constant comparison.ResultsWe interviewed seven white women and five white men, aged 85–100. Data resonated with a priori themes and supported additional themes that help us to understand older peoples’ experience: (1) losing our autonomy can be challenging, so be kind; (2) we must take care of our own bodies and the NHS; (3) I am more afraid of not dying.ConclusionsFindings indicate that health outcomes for older people should incorporate measures of participation and well-being; they highlight the importance of kindness in healthcare; they indicate that older people do not want to place additional burden on the NHS, and this can act as a barrier to care; they support the need for open conversations about dying well.

Published: August 2021

Abstract

Purpose
To describe an approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) strategy development at a school of pharmacy aimed at stakeholder investment and infrastructure that can address systemic challenges in various healthcare settings.

Summary
The UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy utilized an organizational approach focused on infrastructure to produce a diverse and inclusive school community. The Office of Organizational Diversity and Inclusion (ODI) established vision and mission statements to represent the school’s commitment and conducted a comprehensive environmental scan to compose a shared vision. Students, faculty, staff, and alumni participated in a series of retreats, symposiums, and focus groups to identify opportunities to cultivate a diverse and inclusive school community. A working group comprised of key leaders in the school developed and launched a 3-year DEI Strategic Plan along with initiatives and metrics for year 1. The plan’s 3 priorities were (1) to recruit and retain diverse talent, (2) to prepare culturally intelligent professionals, and (3) to build an inclusive community. The ODI collaborated with internal and external stakeholders, which included students, faculty, staff, postdocs, alumni, and partners from health systems, industry, and other institutions and organizations, to initiate, implement, and monitor progress through an organizational approach to establish accountability and greater commitment.

Conclusion
An organizational approach to DEI strategy through stakeholder engagement and infrastructure increased commitment and shared ownership among members of the school community. Applications in an organizational approach can be adapted to multiple healthcare settings to contribute to the cultural transformation necessary to develop a diverse and inclusive healthcare workforce.
Seedling defoliation may enhance survival of dominant wheatgrasses but not Poa secunda seeded for restoration in the sagebrush steppe of the Northern Great Basin
Authors: Denton Elsie M , Pyle Lysandra A , Sheley Roger L 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Restoration of dryland ecosystems is often limited by low seedling establishment and survival. Defoliation caused by insects and small mammals could be an overlooked cause of seedling mortality. In the sagebrush steppe, we examined the effect of seedling defoliation on the survival of perennial grasses commonly used as restoration materials. Under field conditions, seedlings of three perennial bunchgrass species (non-native Agropyron cristatum, and native grasses Poa secunda and Pseudoroegneria spicata) were defoliated at two intensities (30 % and 70 % leaf length removal) and frequencies (one or two clippings) and compared to a non-defoliated control. Following emergence the first year, clippings occurred at the two-leaf stage; a second clipping occurred 1 month later for repeated defoliation treatments. We monitored seedling survival and tillering for 2 years. We expected higher defoliation intensity and frequency to reduce survival for all species, but only a few treatments reduced Po. secunda survival. Conversely, larger-statured Triticeae (wheatgrasses) benefited from some defoliation treatments. In both years, A. cristatum survival increased with repeated defoliation at both intensities. Defoliation did not affect Ps. spicata survival in the first year, but a single defoliation in the second year resulted in increased survival. In both A. cristatum and Ps. spicata, higher-intensity defoliation reduced the boost to survival resulting from defoliation frequency. Seedlings with more tillers had greater survival probabilities, but tiller number was unaffected by defoliation. Further research may elucidate mechanisms seedlings use to compensate for or benefit from defoliation. In the meantime, managers should aim to select defoliation-tolerant species if they anticipate herbivory will be problematic for restoration sites.

ABSTRACTIt was previously reported that oleanolic acid and ursolic acid, triterpenoid compounds occurring in Ilex kudingcha, ameliorate hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis in apoE-deficient mice. In the present study, we investigated whether I. kudingcha extract exerts similar inhibitory effects on cholesterol accumulation in human monocyte-derived macrophages (HMDMs) and atherogenesis in apoE-deficient mice. I. kudingcha extract significantly inhibited cholesterol ester (CE) accumulation induced by acetylated LDL (acetyl-LDL) in HMDMs; however, it generated no effect on cell viability in HMDMs. I. kudingcha extract also suppressed CE accumulation in acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyl-transferase (ACAT)-overexpressing Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, thereby indicating that it inhibits ACAT activity. Furthermore, the oral administration of I. kudingcha extract to apoE-deficient mice significantly decreased the levels of serum cholesterol, triglyceride, sLOX-1, as well as the regions of atherosclerotic lesions in the mice. Our study reveals crucial new-found evidence that I. kudingcha extract significantly inhibits ACAT activity and suppresses atherogenesis.
Past, present, and future of mortality risk scores in the contemporary cardiac intensive care unit
Authors: Jentzer Jacob C , Rossello Xavier 
Published: August 2021

AbstractRisk stratification dates to the dawn of the cardiac intensive care unit (CICU). As the CICU has evolved from a dedicated unit caring for patients with acute myocardial infarction to a complex healthcare environment encompassing a broad array of acute and chronic cardiovascular pathology, an expanding array of risk scores are available that can be applied to CICU patients. Most of these scores were designed for use either in patients with a specific acute cardiovascular diagnosis or unselected critically ill patients, and risk scores developed in other populations often underperform in the CICU. More recently, risk scores have been developed specific to the CICU population, demonstrating improved performance. All existing risk scores have relevant limitations, both in terms of performance and applicability to patient care. Risk scores have been predominantly developed to predict short-term mortality, either by quantifying severity of illness or by incorporating other risk factors for mortality. It is essential to distinguish mortality risk attributable to severity of illness, which may be modifiable through intervention, from mortality risk attributable to non-modifiable risk factors. This review discusses established risk scores applicable to the CICU population, details how risk score performance is characterized, describes how new risk scores can be developed, explains how the information provided by risk scores can be used in clinical practice, and highlights how novel risk stratification approaches can be developed.
