Establishing Vadose Zone Slow‐Release Carbon Sources for Enhanced Bioremediation Using Silica Suspension
Authors: Zhong Lirong , Lee Brady , Yang Shuo 
Published: April 2018

Core Ideas
Nutrient‐laden silica suspension increases viscosity over time and gels at the end.
Aqueous colloidal silica suspension can be readily injected into the subsurface.
Silica gelation enables setting up slow‐release nutrient sources in the vadose zone.
Gelled silica suspensions act as long‐term nutrients for enhanced bioremediation.
Delivery of C sources (nutrients) to the vadose zone and establishing a slow‐release C source in this unsaturated zone are essential for promoting long‐term, enhanced contaminant bioremediation at sites with deep vadose zones, such as the Hanford Site in the southeast of the state of Washington. Conventional solution‐based injection and infiltration approaches face challenges in achieving delivery goals. Aqueous colloidal silica suspension has characteristics that can potentially be used for nutrient delivery and slow‐release source setup. This research was conducted to (i) demonstrate delayed gelation of colloidal silica suspensions with the presence of nutrients; (ii) prove that gelation takes place in sediment and the gel slowly releases nutrients; and (iii) show that silica suspensions are injectable for vadose zone emplacement. Results demonstrated that nutrient‐laden colloidal silica suspensions have low initial viscosity and then increase in viscosity with time until reaching gelation, allowing for a slow release of nutrients into the environment. Higher salt and silica concentrations increased the rate of viscosity climbing and the rate of gelation, whereas higher silica concentrations resulted in stronger gels. Nutrients were slowly released from gels in both batch and column experimental settings. The rheological and injection behavior of the silica suspensions revealed the injectability of these fluids. This study demonstrated that colloidal silica suspension could be used as a carrier to distribute nutrients to the vadose zone and to establish slow‐release nutrient sources.

Abstract
To explore an economic and practical phytoremediation strategy adapted to remediate hypereutrophic water with high salt content, biomass production and nutrient removal efficiency of Suaeda salsa are determined in eutrophic saline water using a floating mat treatment system. The results suggest that S. salsa, as a pioneer species in coastal tidal flats, has a good ability to tolerate the combined stress of salt and eutrophication under hydroponic conditions, although different levels of salinity have different influence on biomass accumulation. Under optimum-growth saline conditions (274 mM NaCl), the removal efficiency of total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) by S. salsa for hypereutrophic water reaches 73.23% and 72.21%, respectively. The removal efficiency under different levels of eutrophication in the water shows that TN and TP contents in eutrophic saline water are conducive to plant biomass accumulation; the removal efficiency decreases with increasing element concentration. An ecological floating island system suitable for planting S. salsa has been performed and a practical application of S. salsa to remediate eutrophic water resulting from large-scale mariculture carried out. The plant grew well and aquaculture water quality was significantly improved. Therefore, S. salsa could be applied to remediate hypereutrophic water with high salt content.

Published: April 2018

Background and objectives
Despite the important role that health care providers at dialysis facilities have in reducing racial disparities in access to kidney transplantation in the United States, little is known about provider awareness of these disparities. We aimed to evaluate health care providers’ awareness of racial disparities in kidney transplant waitlisting and identify factors associated with awareness.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements
We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of a survey of providers from low-waitlisting dialysis facilities (n=655) across all 18 ESRD networks administered in 2016 in the United States merged with 2014 US Renal Data System and 2014 US Census data. Awareness of national racial disparity in waitlisting was defined as responding “yes” to the question: “Nationally, do you think that African Americans currently have lower waitlisting rates than white patients on average?” The secondary outcome was providers’ perceptions of racial difference in waitlisting at their own facilities.

Results
Among 655 providers surveyed, 19% were aware of the national racial disparity in waitlisting: 50% (57 of 113) of medical directors, 11% (35 of 327) of nurse managers, and 16% (35 of 215) of other providers. In analyses adjusted for provider and facility characteristics, nurse managers (versus medical directors; odds ratio, 7.33; 95% confidence interval, 3.35 to 16.0) and white providers (versus black providers; odds ratio, 2.64; 95% confidence interval, 1.39 to 5.02) were more likely to be unaware of a national racial disparity in waitlisting. Facilities in the South (versus the Northeast; odds ratio, 3.05; 95% confidence interval, 1.04 to 8.94) and facilities with a low percentage of blacks (versus a high percentage of blacks; odds ratio, 1.86; 95% confidence interval, 1.02 to 3.39) were more likely to be unaware. One quarter of facilities had >5% racial difference in waitlisting within their own facilities, but only 5% were aware of the disparity.

Conclusions
Among a limited sample of dialysis facilities with low waitlisting, provider awareness of racial disparities in kidney transplant waitlisting was low, particularly among staff who may have more routine contact with patients.

Amartya Sen, teoría de un desarrollo integral, aportes para la superación de la pobreza extrema y construcción de paz en los Montes de María.
Authors: De León Vargas Georgina Isabel , Ballestas León Damaris Margarita , Martinez Martinez Fredy 
Published: April 2018

En el presente artículo de investigación surge del resultado de un primer acercamiento a la temática del desarrollo integral desde Amatya Sen como estrategia para la superación de la pobreza extrema en Colombia y en consecuencia la construcción de una paz estable y duradera, fundada en oportunidades y equidad para los y las colombianas. Es importante destacar que la pobreza no solo implica bajos niveles de ingreso, usualmente también está acompañada por altas tasas de mortalidad infantil, vulneración del acceso de los derechos fundamentales y reducidas capacidades y libertades para conectarse con todo el territorio. En consecuencia, reducir la pobreza y lograr una mayor equidad requiere mejorar la conexión de las poblaciones con los circuitos del crecimiento económico, y su acceso a bienes y servicios que mejoran sus condiciones de vida pero a su vez incentivar la generación de oportunidades para la consecución de un desarrollo económico y social.

Comprender la importancia de la planificación en todos los niveles (nacional, departamental y municipal) y a su vez la concordancia de estos, es preciso si lo que se busca es analizar como las categorías de desarrollo y pobreza se articulan y permiten la posibilidad de ser una oportunidad o un limitante para la construcción de paz. El principal objetivo es conocer cómo se construye la paz en los municipios de San Juan Nepomuceno y el Carmen de Bolívar y hasta qué punto la pobreza puede ser un limitante de esta.

Published: April 2018

El presente artículo de investigación pretende demostrar que con la implementación de Albergues para cuidar animales en las ciudades principales del país, se iniciaba en Colombia el acercamiento hacia el buen trato con los animales, denominados por la legislación actual, “seres sintientes”. El objetivo general en este artículo hizo referencia a analizar las consideraciones y las interpretaciones que sobre la justicia han hecho pensadores (filósofos, sociólogos y juristas), y la eficacia de la Ley 1774 de 2016 en las relaciones de trato de los humanos con los animales en Colombia. Los objetivos específicos se identificaron por: revisar en el interior del ordenamiento jurídico colombiano los aspectos relacionados con la protección hacia los animales y las consecuencias socio jurídicas que ello ha generado; discernir sobre la eficacia de la Ley 1774 de 2016 con respecto a la relaciones del buen trato hacia los animales en el territorio colombiano. El Método utilizado en esta investigación fue el Inductivo, porque partió de la comprensión del concepto de justicia hacia la eficacia de una norma jurídica como la Ley 1774 de 2016 para el conocimiento de la aplicación de procedimientos de la misma en procura del mejoramiento de las condiciones relacionadas con el trato hacia los animales. Se enmarca en las investigaciones con enfoque analítico - descriptivo y cualitativo, básicamente en las que se inscriben en el ámbito del paradigma Histórico/Hermenéutico. El tipo de investigación definido es de naturaleza cualitativa con la utilización de técnicas y estrategias como el análisis de texto, la entrevista, la encuesta y la observación. Las conclusiones a las que se llegan en el artículo muestran las implicaciones sociales y jurídicas que se generan a partir del maltrato animal por parte de los humanos, ocasionado por el desconocimiento de las circunstancias desventajosas de estos últimos en cuanto a la ética del cuidado, protección y salud de los animales.

Authors: De La Hoz Del Villar Katrim Johana 
Published: April 2018

La figura del acusador privado fue introducida al ordenamiento jurídico colombiano por medio de la Ley 1826 de 2017 con el fin de proponer estrategias que propugnen por la descongestión del orden judicial, en especial el sistema penal acusatorio. Esta figura consiste en una acción privada por medio de la cual la víctima, su representante o cualquier autoridad distinta a la Fiscalía General de la Nación en cuyas funciones recaigan facultades investigativas, podría efectuar el ejercicio de la acción penal en los casos determinados que expresamente consagre el legislador. Esta ponencia esbozará entonces los diferentes desafíos a los cuales se enfrentará la víctima a lo largo del proceso penal en ejercicio de la acción penal privada.

Cost-effectiveness of Continuous Glucose Monitoring for Adults With Type 1 Diabetes Compared With Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose: The DIAMOND Randomized Trial
Authors: Wan Wen , Skandari M. Reza , Minc Alexa , Nathan Aviva G. , Winn Aaron , Zarei Parmida , O’Grady Michael , Huang Elbert S. 
Published: April 2018

OBJECTIVE
This study evaluated the societal cost-effectiveness of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) using multiple insulin injections.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
In the Multiple Daily Injections and Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Diabetes (DIAMOND) trial, 158 patients with T1D and HbA1c ≥7.5% were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to CGM or control. Participants were surveyed at baseline and 6 months. Within-trial and lifetime cost-effectiveness analyses were conducted. A modified Sheffield T1D policy model was used to simulate T1D complications. The main outcome was cost per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) gained.

RESULTS
Within the 6-month trial, the CGM group had similar QALYs to the control group (0.462 ± 0.05 vs. 0.455 ± 0.06 years, P = 0.61). The total 6-month costs were $11,032 (CGM) vs. $7,236 (control). The CGM group experienced reductions in HbA1c (0.60 ± 0.74% difference in difference [DiD]), P &lt; 0.01), the daily rate of nonsevere hypoglycemia events (0.07 DiD, P = 0.013), and daily test strip use (0.55 ± 1.5 DiD, P = 0.04) compared with the control group. In the lifetime analysis, CGM was projected to reduce the risk of T1D complications and increase QALYs by 0.54. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) was $98,108 per QALY for the overall population. By extending sensor use from 7 to 10 days in a real-world scenario, the ICER was reduced to $33,459 per QALY.

CONCLUSIONS
For adults with T1D using multiple insulin injections and still experiencing suboptimal glycemic control, CGM is cost-effective at the willingness-to-pay threshold of $100,000 per QALY, with improved glucose control and reductions in nonsevere hypoglycemia.
