Published: July 2019

Masyarakat enclave umumnya memiliki tingkat ketergantungan yang tinggi terhadap sumberdaya alam dari kawasan hutan yang terdapat di sekitar tempat tinggal mereka, sehingga aktivitas pemanfaatan tersebut dapat berpengaruh terhadap komunitas tumbuhan di hutan sekitar enclave. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui keragaman vegetasi pada areal tepi hutan yang berbatasan dengan enclave Minggi, yang merupakan enclave yang terdapat di Taman Nasional bantimurung Bulusaraung. Pengamatan vegetasi dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode garis berpetak. Analisis data dilakukan untuk mengetahui nilai kerapatan vegetasi, indeks nilai penting, indeks keragaman hayati Shannon-Weiner, indeks dominansi Simpson, indeks kemerataan Pielou, indeks kekayaan jenis Margalef dan indeks kesamaan komunitas Sorensen. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan bahwa vegetasi hutan di sekitar enclave Minggi memiliki keragaman vegetasi yang tergolong sedang. Terdapat spesies yang mendominasi, namun nilai indeks dominansinya masih tergolong rendah. Nilai indeks kemerataan jenis vegetasi tergolong rendah, sedangkan nilai indeks kekayaan jenis tergolong tinggi. Kondisi tersebut menunjukkan adanya gangguan atau tekanan oleh masyarakat terhadap hutan. Perubahan kondisi hutan tersebut memerlukan upaya pemulihan kondisi komunitas tumbuhan maupun upaya peningkatan kesadaran dan pembenahan kondisi masyarakat untuk mengurangi tingkat ketergantungan terhadap hutan.Kata kunci: Vegetasi, Tepi hutan, Enclave, Hutan sekunder, Taman Nasional Bantimurung Bulusaraung

Clams have a planktonic period which is sensitive to metal pollutants in the waters. The natural concentration of cadmium (Cd) is relatively low in marine waters but may increase with increasing anthropogenic activity on land that may be lethal to organisms, especially in the sensitive larval stages. The purpose of this study was to analyze the values of 24h-LC50, NOEC (No Observed Effect Concentration), LOEC (Lowest Observed Effect Concentration) and MATC (Maximum Acceptable Toxicant Concentration) along with the impact of acute Cd toxicity on mortality and morphological changes of Tridacna squamosa veliger. The toxicity test used was an acute toxicity test with a static method (4 replications). Acute toxicity tests were performed on veliger phase larvae with short-term exposure (24 hours) on various Cd concentrations ie., 0.1 mg/L, 1 mg/L, 2.5 mg/L, 5 mg/L and 10 mg/L . The 24h-LC50 value was calculated using the Trimmed Spearman-Karber application version 4.1, and the LOEC and NOEC values were analyzed using the Dunnet test. Results showed that the 24h-LC50 value of Cd applied to Tridacna squamosa veliger was 2.12 mg/L, whereas the NOEC, LOEC, and MATC values were 1 mg/L, 2.5 mg/L, 1.581 mg/L respectively. Mortalities were observed with increasing Cd concentrations. It was also shown a decreasing number of zooxanthellae, damaged in mantle tissue and shells, changes in shell color, released of mantle tissue from the shell with increasing Cd concentrations.

Perairan pantai Kota Makassar, termasuk dua muara sungai yang mengapit, yaitu Sungai Jeneberang dan Sungai Tallo banyak mendapat inputan logam dari badan sungai dan dari daratan utama, berupa limbah industri dan limbah perkotaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan distribusi spasial konsentrasi Pb, Cd, Cu, dan Zn serta fraksi bioavailable di sedimen perairan pantai Kota Makassar. Penelitian dilakukan di wilayah perairan pantai Kota Makassar, mulai dari muara Sungai Jeneberang hingga muara Sungai Tallo. Pengukuran logam dilakukan pada sedimen berukuran < 63 μm. Spesiasi logam pada fraksi sedimen ditentukan dengan metode Community Bureau of Reference (BCR) Three-steps Sequential method yang menghasilkan fraksi exchangeable dan acid soluble, reducible, serta oxidisable. Interpolasi sebaran spasial logam di sedimen dilakukan dengan menggunakan teknik Sistem Informasi Geografis (SIG) yaitu block kriging (BK) dengan program Arc View. Sebaran logam sangat ditentukan oleh input atau sumber dari daratan dimana sebaran spasial logam Pb, Cd, Cu, dan Zn di sedimen meningkat ke arah utara pantai Kota Makassar. Sebaran spasial fraksi 1 (terlarut dalam asam, acid reducible) logam Pb dan Cu tidak berbanding lurus dengan sebaran konsentrasi totalnya di sedimen. Sedangkan sebaran spasial fraksi 1 logam Cd dan Zn berbanding lurus dengan sebaran konsentrasi totalnya di sedimen.

Abstract
Purpose It is very critical to consider features of Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy (HDP) when choosing mode of delivery, which are rarely reported in present studies. This study is to construct a user-friendly combination of HDP patients’ features to choose optimal mode of delivery for stable patients without other indications for cesarean section.

Methods A retrospective analysis was performed in 307 stable HDP patients with clinical cure. 116 patients underwent vaginal delivery (VD) and 191 patients underwent cesarean delivery (CD). Univariate analysis was done between VD group and CD group on demographic, anthropometric and laboratory variables. Then, with classification tree, separate set of HDP features were enabled to be linked into mode of delivery.

Results The levels of edema, proteinuria, systolic blood pressure (SBP), hematocrit (HCT), β-2 microglobulin and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were higher in CD group than those in VD group (P<0.001). The classification tree was consisted of 3 layers: the first layer was edema, the second layer were β-2microglobulin and proteinuria, and the third layer was HCT. Node 3 (no edema; β-2microglobulin ≤1.71ug/ml) reached VD rate of 86.4%, which was the highest VD rate among all terminal nodes. Node 6 (edema is limited to the ankle or above,proteinuria>1+) had the lowest VD rates of 11.3%.

Conclusions The classification tree explores the collection of HDP features suitable for different modes of delivery, which offers the ability of assisting obstetricians to select proper mode of delivery for HDP patients without other certain indications for cesarean section.

Published: July 2019

Abstract
Background

Acinetobacter is an important nosocomial pathogen and a major cause of morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients. Recently, colistin resistant strains of Acinetobacter were reported from different parts of the world. We are describing a case series of 18 patients with colistin resistant Acinetobacter over a span of 4 years.

Methods

Patients with any clinical specimen positive for colistin resistant Acinetobacter from 2014 to 2017 were identified from the hospital records. Three cases were isolated between 2014 and 2015, six cases in 2016 and 9 cases in 2017. Data on patients’ demographics as well as clinical data was collected retrospectively on a structured proforma from the hospital medical records.

Results

Mean age of the patients was 50 ± 18 years. Fifteen (83.3%) out of the 18 patients were male. Acinetobacter Pneumonia was the most common diagnosis in n=13(72.2% of the patients). Nine (50%) of the patients developed sepsis. In addition to Colistin resistance, carbapenem and amikacin resistance was documented to be 94% and 61% respectively. Colistin and carbapenem based combinations were used to treat all patients with a mean antibiotic duration of 20 ± 10 days. Median length of hospital stay was 25 days (range 8 - 61), with 14 patients (77.8%) requiring ICU admission. Eight (44.4%) of the patients expired and only 6 (33.3%) achieved microbiological eradication.

Conclusion

Infections due to Colistin resistant strains of Acinetobacter are rapidly increasing, have limited antimicrobial treatment options and are associated with poor outcomes.

Published: July 2019

Abstract
Background

Maintaining highly effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can be particularly difficult when artificial respiration using a bag-valve-mask device, combined with chest compression have to be carried out by one person. The aim of the study is to compare the quality of CPR conducted by one paramedic using chest compression from the patient’s side, with compression carried out from behind the patient’s head.

Methods

The subject of the study were two methods of CPR – ‘standard’ (STD) and ‘over-the-head’ (OTH). The STD method consisted of 30 chest compressions from the patient’s side, and two attempts at artificial respiration after moving round to behind the patient’s head. In the OTH method, both compression and respiration were conducted from behind the patient’s head.

Results

Both CPR methods were conducted by 38 paramedics working in medical response teams. The average time of the interruptions between compression cycles (STD 9.184 s, OTH 7.316 s, p<0.001); the depth of compression 50–60 mm (STD 50.65%, OTH 60.22%, p<0.001); the rate of compression 100–120/min. (STD 46.39%, OTH 53.78%, p<0.001); complete chest wall recoil (STD 84.54%, OTH 91.46%, p<0.001); correct hand position (STD 99.32%, OTH method 99.66%, p<0.001). The remaining parameters showed no significant differences in comparison to reference values.

Conclusions

The demonstrated higher quality of CPR in the simulated research using the OTH method conducted by one person justifies the use of this method in a wider range of emergency interventions than only for CPR conducted in confined spaces.
Feasibility of home-based HIV counselling and testing and linking to HIV services among women delivering at home in Geita, Tanzania: A household longitudinal survey
Authors: Adinan Juma , Adamou Bridgit , Amour Caroline , Shayo Aisa , Kidayi Paulo Lino , Msuya Levina 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Background

Substantial number of women who deliver at home (WDH) are not captured in prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) services. This delays HIV infection detection that negatively impacts endeavours to fight the HIV pandemic and the health of mothers and children. The study objective was to determine the feasibility of home-based HIV testing and linking to care for HIV services among WDH in Geita District Council, Tanzania.

Methods

A longitudinal household survey was conducted. The study involved all mentally-able women who delivered within two years (WDTY) preceding the survey and their children under the age of two. The study was conducted in Geita District Council in Geita Region, Tanzania from June to July 2017. Geita is among the region with high HIV prevalence and proportion of women delivering at home.

Results

Of the 993 women who participated in the study, 981 (98.8%) accepted household-based HIV counselling and testing (HBHCT) from the research team. HIV prevalence was 5.3% (52 women). HBHCT identified 26 (2.7%) new HIV infections; 23 (23.4%) were those tested negative at ANC and the remaining three (0.3%) were those who had no HIV test during the ANC visit. Among the 51 HIV+ women, 21 (40.4%) were enrolled in PMTCT services. Of the 32 HIV+ participants who delivered at home, eight (25.8%) were enrolled in the PMTCT compared to 100 percent (13/13) of the women who delivered at a health facility.

Conclusion

HBHCT uptake was high. HBHCT detected new HIV infection among WDH as well as seroconversion among women with previously negative HIV tests. The study findings emphasize the importance of extending re-testing to women who breastfeed. HBHCT can be used to improve PMTCT services among WDH.

Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the biomechanical stability and safety in patients undergoing oblique lumbar inter-body fusion (OLIF) surgery with stand-alone (SA) and Bilateral pedicle screw fixation (BPSF).
Methods: A finite element model of L4-L5 spinal unit was established and validated. Based on the validated model technique, function surgical models corresponding to SA, BPSF were created. Simulations employing the models were performed to investigate the OLIF surgery. A bending moment of 7.5 Nm and a 500 N follower load were applied to the models in flexion, extension, axial rotation and lateral bending. Finite element(FE) models were developed to compare the biomechanics of the intact group, SA, BPSF group.
Results: Compared with the Range of motion (ROM) of the intact lumbar model, SA model decreased by 79.5% in flexion, 54.2% in extension, BPSF model decreased by 86.4% in flexion, 70.8% in extension. Compared with the BPSF, the maximum stresses of L4 inferior endplate (IEP) and L5 superior endplate (SEP) increased significantly in SA model, L4 IEP increased to 49.7MPa in extension, L5 SEP increased to 47.7MPa in flexion.
Conclusions: OLIF surgery with BPSF could reduce the max stresses of the endplate which may reduce cage sedimentation incidence. However, OLIF surgery with SA could not provide enough rigidity for the fusion segment in osteoporosis patients which may increase the cage sedimentation incidence.

Published: July 2019

Abstract
Background: Longitudinal data of pulmonary physiology (pulmonary function tests, PFTs) is important in diagnosis and management of both respiratory and non-respiratory diseases that have secondary effects on lungs. Large amounts of data need to be amalgamated in physiology flowsheets within electronic medical records (EMR), which summarize trends of multiple PFT reports in one document. We present the process around evaluation and implementation of a physiology flowsheet with discreet data elements.

Methods: Alberta Health Services (AHS) has chosen a single vendor for its EMR, an Epic-based system (Epic Systems Corporation). A new clinical tool was written and implemented/piloted within the pulmonary department of the EMR. The physiology flowsheet was tested, modified, and real patient data was entered for those followed longitudinally within AHS Pulmonary Function Laboratories. A pre- and post-implementation survey was carried out with different front-line users to evaluate their experiences.

Results: From this pilot implementation, we found that majority of EMR users reported variable ease and satisfaction with the current access to PFT’s. Flowsheets were deemed helpful, once longitudinal data was available. Consistently respondents reported that the EMR slows patient encounters. Healthcare providers also reported flowsheets to be useful for patient education and their self-reflection related to disease processes. Patient surveys were not conducted.

Conclusions: Current data transfer of PFT results to EMR requires manual entry, which is time-consuming, though clinically useful. The incorporation of raw data from PFT software to EMR is of great importance in both clinical assessments and patient education; however, a systems-based approach is needed.
The Existence of Kurds in Caucasia
Authors: BİÇER Bekir 
Published: July 2019

The Kurdish people make up a nation that originated in the Middle East. It is largely accepted that the Kurds’ mother country is in an area of Upper Mesopotamia to the southwest of Iran, meaning around the Zagros Mountains. In truth,, many aspects of Kurdish history are still not entirely understood. For instance, subjects such as their initial emergence, how their ethnic structure formed, their relationships with the Persians, and the origin of the Kurdish language still remain unclear. One of the mysteries surrounding the Kurdish nation is the existence of Kurds in Caucasia. This paper attempts to find answers to the following questions: Is Caucasia the mother country of Kurds? When, from where, and how did Kurdish people come to Caucasia? In what area did the Kurds initially settle? Did they found a state and a military in Caucasia?
Reliability and efficiency of an advanced tertiary treatment process for wastewater reclamation

Published: July 2019

Abstract
A reliability study for the reclamation of wastewater treatment plant effluent using continuous sand filtration-multimedia filtration (CSF-MMF) combined with ultrafiltration (UF) and reverse osmosis (RO) has been conducted. The objectives of the research are two-fold: (1) effluent of CSF-MMF can be used for surface water supplementation and (2) permeate of UF-RO can be applied as greenhouse irrigation water. The removal efficiencies for nutrients and electric conductivity (EC) as well as some operational parameters of the pilot plant were investigated. The concentration of T-N, chemical oxygen demand (COD) and turbidity in the filtrate of CSF-MMF with external C-course methanol dosage and FeCl3 dosage could be kept at less than 2.2 mg/L, 35 mg/L and 0.9 NTU respectively. Average EC exceeded the required surface water standard by 10% and it was difficult to meet the low surface water standard for T-P (below 0.15 mg/L). The EC of RO permeate was below 20 μS/cm, which was much lower than the standard for greenhouse irrigation. With frequent back flushes, cleaning in place (CIP) and enhanced cleaning the UF could be operated with a constant permeability of 100 L/(m2·h·bar). An appropriate CIP resulted in a recovery of 47–52% of the RO. The protective cartridge filter prior to the RO should be replaced every 2 weeks.
Developing hydrological and reservoir models under deep uncertainty of climate change: robustness of water supply reservoir
Authors: Marton Daniel , Knoppová Kateřina 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Adaptation of water resources to climate change, drought management strategies, and hydrological and reservoir modelling have become serious issues in the context of climate change uncertainty. The aim of this paper is to introduce methods and tools for hydrological analysis and robust reservoir performance evaluation in this time of deep uncertainty. Newly developed lumped water balance and reservoir simulation models will be used to perform hydrological analysis, and a robust reservoir storage capacity reliability assessment will also be conducted. The hydrological data in relation to climate change will be constructed using two climatological datasets created by statistical downscaling tools LARS WG and ENSEMBLE Downscaling Portal. The hydrological analysis and the temporal reliability of the assessment of reservoir storage capacity and robustness in the context of climate change uncertainty will be presented as a case study of the Vir I reservoir and the Svratka River basin in the Czech Republic, in central Europe. The resulting models show a decrease in long-term mean flow, ranging from 6% to 32%, and in reservoir outflow from 1.5% to 26%, depending on the timescale, downscaling tools and emission scenarios.

AbstractSolid solutions of cadmium in niobium and NbCd_2 phase are formed by magnetron sputtering and coprecipitation on substrates moving relative to the flow of Nb and Cd particles. The NbCd_2 phase can be described by a tetragonal unit cell with the parameters a = 0.84357 nm, c = 0.54514 nm, and c / a = 0.6426. A very high hole concentration in NbCd_2 is established by studying the coating absorption and transmission spectra corresponding to the intermetallic-compound composition near the fundamental absorption edge, determining the band gap, and measuring the carrier mobility. Such a concentration is characteristic of a strongly degenerate semiconductor or metal. The band gap is determined to be 1.26 eV. The variation in the concentration of carriers and their mobility depending on the cadmium concentration in coatings of the Nb–Cd system confirms the occurrence of the NbCd_2 phase.

Published: July 2019

AbstractThe electrical conductivity of thin polycrystalline V_(1 – _ x )W_ x O_2 has been studied in a wide temperature range, which covers the regions of both the metallic and insulator phases. An increase in the tungsten concentration is shown to shift the metal–insulator phase transition toward lower temperatures, while the temperature range of the coexistence of the phases monotonically increases as the impurity concentration increases. The temperature dependence of the conductivity of the insulator phase of V_(1 – _ x )W_ x O_2 is explained using the hopping conduction model that takes into account the influence of thermal vibrations of atoms on the resonance integral. Parameter ε in the dependence on the level of doping VO_2 has been calculated.
