Selective modification of inner surface of halloysite nanotubes: a review
Authors: Zhang Hailei 
Published: August 2017

AbstractIn this paper, we review the chemical strategies used for the modification of the inner surface of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs). The HNTs are nanotubular materials formed by rolling up the 1:1 aluminosilicate clays, where the composition is similar with kaolin. Owing to many virtues, including the high ratio of length to diameter, large cavity volume, desirable biocompatibility, and low cost, the HNTs have been applied to numerous promising domains. The modification of the outer surface is usually intended to decrease the HNT dispersal in aqueous media. Considering that the selective modification for the inner surface gives excellent prospects for hybrid HNT-based materials, herein, we explore the advances in the selective modification of the inner surface that expanded the applications of the HNTs.

Abstract
The objective of this study is to evaluate the use of lowland areas for vine conservation to improve the availability and access of planting material during the main planting period and subsequently improve access to Orange Fleshed Sweetpotato (OFSP) roots for consumption and income. The study was implemented in 8 districts in Niassa province in early December 2015, among 271 households (HH), where 77% of these households had children under 5 years and 34% of the respondents were women. These households were selected randomly among households that had received OFSP planting material between 2013 and 2015. Data about vine conservation, use of lowland areas, OFSP consumption and income from OFSP were collected and analyzed using SPSS. Results were compared with the baseline survey results from 2013. Eighty seven percent of households have access to lowland areas. The households using lowland areas for vine conservation increased from 41% in 2013 to 58% in 2015 and the use of small garden plots from 14% to 26%. The households conserving vines in upland fields dropped from 56% in 2013 to 7% in 2015. About 53% of households still planted in June (beyond the main planting season) while 24% continued to plant year around. However, cultivation on small plots dominated from March to December, mainly for vine multiplication. Delvia, Irene and Gloria varieties were mentioned respectively by 43 %, 21 % and 20 % of households as their preferred varieties. All households consumed OFSP roots. However, more than 50% of households consumed OFSP from April to October. Fifty six percent of households sold OFSP roots which generated an average income of 48 USD per household per year. The use of lowland areas for vine conservation has increased and vine management has improved. Consequently, production area has increased by 23%, root yield has increased by more than 100%, from 6.0 t/ ha as average national yield to 15.5 t/ha, average yield for the survey, and the period of consumption from own production has also increased to seven months. Awareness campaigns will continue to promote year round production of OFSP.

AbstractBackground: It is beneficial for gymnasts to train key lumbopelvic musculature to decrease or prevent low back injury. This study compares lumbopelvic exercises and yoga on lumbar muscle endurance, lumbopelvic stabilization, abdominal strength and balance in adolescent female gymnasts and the effect on low back pain. Material/Methods: 13 participants were randomly allocated to a lumbo-pelvic or yoga group intervention and performed specific exercises for 6 weeks. Biering-Sorensen Test, Lumbopelvic Control Test, Side Bridge Test, and Star Excursion Balance Test were conducted on the participants before and after the 6-week intervention and low back pain logbooks were completed. Results: The Biering-Sorensen Test was significantly greater results for the lumbopelvic group compared to the yoga group. Both groups had significant changes over time with the Lumbopelvic Control Test but no group difference. Both groups had significant improvement with the Side Bridge with the yoga group benefitting more on the left. Out of the six fully completed logbooks, the yoga group showed less occurrence of low back pain compared to the lumbopelvic group. Conclusions: Yoga and lumbopelvic stabilization exercises are equally effective in developing lumbar muscle endurance, lateral stability and front-on stability for young non-elite gymnasts. This is important as they are under-represented in research but overrepresented in participation. This study sets the basis for further research on the incidence of low back pain in young gymnasts and the effects of age-appropriate exercises as a preventative matter.

Abstract
Gordon, JA III, Hoffman, JR, Arroyo, E, Varanoske, AN, Coker, NA, Gepner, Y, Wells, AJ, Stout, JR, and Fukuda, DH. Comparisons in the recovery response from resistance exercise between young and middle-aged men. J Strength Cond Res 31(12): 3454–3462, 2017—The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of a bout of high-volume isokinetic resistance exercise protocol (HVP) on lower-body strength and markers of inflammation and muscle damage during recovery between young and middle-aged adult men. Nineteen recreationally trained men were classified as either a young adult (YA: 21.8 ± 2.0 years; 90.7 ± 11.6 kg) or a middle-aged adult (MA: 47.0 ± 4.4 years; 96.0 ± 21.5 kg) group. The HVP consisted of 8 sets of 10 repetitions, with 1 minute of rest between each set, performed on an isokinetic dynamometer at 60°·s−1. Maximal voluntary isometric contractions and isokinetic peak torque (PKT) and average torque (AVGT) (measured at 240° and 60°·s−1, respectively) were assessed at baseline (BL), immediately post (IP), 120 minutes, 24, and 48 hours after HVP. Blood was obtained at BL, IP, 30, 60, 120 minute, 24, and 48 hours after HVP to assess muscle damage and inflammation. All performance data were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of covariance, whereas all inflammatory and muscle damage markers were analyzed using a 2-way (time × group) repeated measures analysis of variance. Results revealed no between-group differences for PKT, AVGT, or rate of torque development at 200 ms (RTD200). No between-group differences in myoglobin, creatine kinase, C-reactive protein, or interleukin-6 were observed. Although BL differences in muscle performance were observed between YA and MA, no between-group differences were noted in performance recovery measures from high-volume isokinetic exercise in recreationally trained men. These results also indicate that the inflammatory and muscle damage response from high-volume isokinetic exercise is similar between recreationally trained, young, and middle-aged adult men.

ObjectiveRoux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery is currently the most effective treatment for diabetes and obesity. An increasingly recognized and highly disabling complication of RYGB is postprandial hypoglycaemia (PPH). The pathophysiology of PPH remains unclear with multiple mechanisms suggested including nesidioblastosis, altered insulin clearance and increased glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) secretion. Whilst many PPH patients respond to dietary modification, some have severely disabling symptoms. Multiple treatments are proposed, including dietary modification, GLP-1 antagonism, GLP-1 analogues and even surgical reversal, with none showing a more decided advantage over the others. A greater understanding of the pathophysiology of PPH could guide the development of new therapeutic strategies.MethodsWe studied a cohort of PPH patients at the Imperial Weight Center. We performed continuous glucose monitoring to characterize their altered glycaemic variability. We also performed a mixed meal test (MMT) and measured gut hormone concentrations.ResultsWe found increased glycaemic variability in our cohort of PPH patients, specifically a higher mean amplitude glucose excursion (MAGE) score of 4.9. We observed significantly greater and earlier increases in insulin, GLP-1 and glucagon in patients who had hypoglycaemia in response to an MMT (MMT Hypo) relative to those that did not (MMT Non-Hypo). No significant differences in oxyntomodulin, GIP or peptide YY secretion were seen between these two groups.ConclusionAn early peak in GLP-1 and glucagon may together trigger an exaggerated insulinotropic response to eating and consequent hypoglycaemia in patients with PPH.

Comorbid pathological gambling, mental health, and substance use disorders: Health-care services provision by clinician specialty
Authors: Rodriguez-Monguio Rosa , Errea Maria , Volberg Rachel 
Published: August 2017

Background and aims
Pathological gambling (PG) is an impulse control disorder. This study assessed the burden of co-occurring behavioral addictions and mental health disorders in treatment-seeking patients and estimated the likelihood of receiving care for these disorders by clinician specialty.

Methods
Study data were derived from the Massachusetts All-Payer Claims Database, a representative database, for the period 2009–2013. The sample included commercially insured adult residents of Massachusetts. Univariate and multivariate logistic regressions were used to estimate the likelihood of provision of care by clinician specialty adjusting for patient’s demographic characteristics and level of care. Bonferroni correction was applied to adjust for multiple testing.

Results
The study sample included 869 patients. Treatment-seeking patients who had a diagnosis of PG were mostly males (71%), aged 45–54 years (26.7%) and enrolled in a health maintenance organization (47%). The most prevalent co-occurring disorders among patients with PG as principal diagnosis were anxiety disorders (28%), mood disorders (26%), and substance use disorders (18%). PG was associated with a more than twofold likelihood of receiving care from social workers and psychologists (p < .05). Depressive disorders were associated with a three times greater likelihood of receiving care from primary care physicians (PCPs) (p < .05). Having three and four or more diagnosis was associated with a greater likelihood of receiving care from PCPs.

Discussion and conclusions
Psychiatric and substance use disorders are prevalent among treatment-seeking pathological gamblers. The likelihood of receiving care from specialty clinicians significantly varies by clinical diagnosis and patient clinical complexity.

A fertirrigação como alternativa de disposição final de esgoto doméstico é uma solução viável, tendo em vista o baixo custo de sua implantação, o aproveitamento dos nutrientes pelas plantas e a obtenção de melhorias na estruturação do solo. Neste trabalho, será avaliado o potencial do uso de efluente do tratamento preliminar de esgoto doméstico (EDP), a economia de água na irrigação e na adubação, considerando-se sua qualidade química para fertirrigação do capim-elefante (Pennisetum purpureum). Cada parcela experimental foi constituída por 4 linhas plantadas e 3 sulcos de aplicação de água/esgoto doméstico, sendo o espaçamento entre linhas de 0,6 m e o comprimento de 40 m. Foram impostos dois tratamentos: T1 - aplicação de adubação química convencional e água potável, em irrigação; e T2 - aplicação, em fertirrigação, de EDP, sendo a necessidade hídrica das plantas complementada com água da rede de abastecimento. A dose de aplicação do EDP foi estabelecida considerando-se suas características químicas e as necessidades nutricionais e de água do capim-elefante. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que o EDP utilizado na fertirrigação do capim-elefante, considerando-se uma lâmina de aplicação para fornecimento de 300 kg ha-1 ano-1 de Na, foi capaz de suprir 100% do P2O5, 33% do K2O e 93% do N demandado na adubação do capim-elefante, gerando uma economia financeira de US$ 445,00 ha-1, no que se refere à adubação; de US$ 624,00 ha-1,no que se refere ao custo de produção; e de US$ 6,00 ha-1, no que se refere ao custo de irrigação, proporcionando uma economia total de US$ 630,00 ha-1 e uma economia hídrica de 58% do total demandado.

Published: August 2017

Kompleks batuan gunung api Adang di daerah Kabupaten Mamuju, Sulawesi Barat secara lebih detail dapat dikelompokkan menjadi tujuh, yaitu kompleks Tapalang, Ampalas, Adang, Malunda, Karampuang, Sumare, dan Labuan Rano. Komplek Adang merupakan salah satu komplek gunungapi utama yang masih dapat diidentifikasi bentukan morfologinya dengan baik. Komplek ini tersusunatas batuan gunung api basa hingga intermediet yang memiliki nilai laju dosis radiasi cukup tinggi yang disebabkan oleh kandungan mineral radioaktif di dalamnya. Keterdapatan mineral radioaktif pada batuan basaltik-andesitik belum pernah dijumpai di Indonesia sehingga hal ini menjadi sangat menarik untuk dilakukan penelitian terutama tataan tektonika pembentukan batuan komplek gunung api tersebut. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menentukan tipologi magmatik yang terkait dengantataan tektonikanya dengan pendekatan geokimia batuan gunung api menggunakan analisis X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF). Batuan gunung api Adang merupakan hasil dari proses vulkanisme suatu komplekgunung api yang memiliki pusat erupsi dan beberapa kubah lava. Batuan tersebut tersusun atas batuan trachyte-phonolite, dengan afinitas magmatiknya ultrapotasik, Dari data tersebut dapat diinterpretasi bahwa tataan tektonika magmatologinya adalah active continental margin(ACM). Magma asal yang membentuknya dari aktivitas gunung apinya dipengaruhi oleh kerak benua mikro barat daya (South West/SW) Sulawesi. Adang volcanic complexlocated in Mamuju Region, West Sulawesi can be grouped more detail into seven complexes that are Tapalang, Ampalas, Adang, Malunda, Karampuang, Sumare, and Labuan Rano. Adang complex is one of the main volcanic complexes that still can be identified with good morphological formations. This complex is composed of alkaline volcanic rocks with basic to intermediates composition that have high value of radiation dose rate caused by their radioactive mineral content. Radioactive mineral occurrences on the basaltic-andesitic rocks has never been found in Indonesia, so it becomes very interesting to do research mainly tectonic settings of the volcanic rock complex formation. The purpose of this study is to determine magmatiic typology related with the tectonic setting based on volcanic rock geochemistry using X-Ray Fluorences (XRF) analysis. Adang volcanic rock is the result of a complex process of volcanism having a volcanic center and several lava domes. They are composed of phonolite to dacite rock, with ultrapotassic affinity, interpretation of data concluded that tectonic setting of magmatism formed in active continental margin (ACM). Magmatism source from vulcanic activities influenced by South WestSulawesi micro-continental crust.

Published: August 2017

Proses peleburan timah menghasilkan limbah berupa slag II dalam jumlah besar. Slag II sebagai terak pada proses peleburan timah masih mengandung beberapa unsur utama antara lain 0,0619% uranium, 0,530% thorium, 0,179% P2O5, dan 6,194% logam tanah jarang (LTJ) oksida total. Berdasarkan fakta tersebut, maka sangat menarik untuk meneliti pengolahan slag II, terutama untuk memisahkan uranium dan thorium yang terkandung di dalamnya. Uranium dan thorium dilarutkan dengan pelarut asam (H2SO4). Recovery pelarutan slag II dari hasil peleburan timah pada kondisi optimum adalah 98,52% uranium, 83,16% thorium, 97,22% fosfat, dan 69,62% LTJ. Uranium, thorium, LTJ, dan fosfat yang telah terlarut diendapkan agar masing-masing unsur terpisah. Faktor yang mempengaruhi kesempurnaan reaksi pada pengendapan antara lain reagen yang digunakan, pH reaksi, suhu, dan waktu. NH4OH digunakan sebagai reagen pengendapan dengan kondisi optimum proses pada pH 4. Suhu dan waktu reaksi tidak mempengaruhi proses. Recovery pengendapan yang dihasilkan adalah 93,84% uranium dan 84,33% thorium. Tin smelting process produces waste in the form of large amount of slag II. Slag II still consist of major elements such as 0.0619% uranium, 0.530% thorium, 0.179% P2O5 and 6.194% RE total oxide. Based on that fact, the processing of slag II is interesting to be researched, particularly in separating uranium and thorium which contained in slag II. Uranium and thorium dissolved using acid reagent (H2SO4). Percentage recovery of uranium, thorium, phosphate and RE oxides by dissolution method are 98.52%, 83.16%, 97.22%, and 69.62% respectively.
