Published: October 2024

The aim of this work is to develop an eco-friendly antibacterial agent in the form of microcapsules containing extract from Chromolaena odorata leaves using the solvent evaporation method. The wall materials for encapsulating were tested with various cellulose esters including cellulose acetate (CA), cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB), and cellulose acetate propionate (CAP). The evaluation of microcapsules containing C. odorata leaf extract was focused on their encapsulation efficiency, size, shape, thermal stability, and antimicrobial activities. The results showed that CAB was a suitable wall material for the encapsulation of C. odorata leaf extract. The CAB microcapsules exhibited the highest encapsulation efficiency, which was 65.82 ± 3.07. The size of CAB microcapsules was the smallest, at 1013.3 ± 66.5 nm. According to the thermogravimetric analysis, the prepared microcapsules were able to protect the extract of C. odorata leaves from the environment. Moreover, the CAB microcapsules containing C. odorata leaf extract showed the best antibacterial activities against Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and Stapphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923. The minimum bactericidal concentration of the microcapsules was 25.6 mg/mL in both bacteria. This study proved the potential application of C. odorata leaf extract as a biomaterial in diverse industries in the future.

Published: October 2024

Abstract

Objective. CoolSeal is a new vessel sealing system for dissection and hemostasis during surgery. No clinical studies have investigated safety, advantages or disadvantages regarding the use of this device. The aim of the present study was to investigate the safety of CoolSeal and compare it with conventional ligation technique or LigaSure during the total thyroidectomy. We hypothesized that the use of CoolSeal would reduce the operating time and bleeding without complications increase. Study design represents a retrospective cohort study with a tertiary reference center setting.

Methods. We analyzed total thyroidectomy data from January 2021 to June 2023. We recorded patients’ characteristics, surgical information, and postoperative outcome.

Results. We performed 221 total thyroidectomies in the study period. Analysis was restricted to 171 patients operated by only two surgeons. Hemostasis was secured by conventional ligation in 117 patients (68%), LigaSure in 34 patients (20%) and CoolSeal in 20 patients (12%). Median thyroid weight and bleeding were 67 g and 50 ml, respectively. Procedures using LigaSure or Cool-Seal were on larger glands (median 205 g) without increased bleeding (50 ml). Operating time was shortest with CoolSeal (96 min, p=0.003) compared with LigaSure (117 min) or conventional ligation (115 min). Bleeding was reduced with CoolSeal compared with LigaSure (45 vs. 100 ml, p=0.003). With CoolSeal, median hospitalization was one postoperative day, no patients required re-operation. There was no palsy of recurrent laryngeal nerves and no permanent hypoparathyroidism.

Conclusion. In our first clinical experience, CoolSeal was safe and efficient for total thyroidectomy. With a small sample size, we saw a clinical benefit with reduced operating time without post-operative complications increase.

Abstract
The paper aims to aid in developing a monitoring system for surgery patients who have undergone lumbar interbody fusion (LIF). The present body of work functions as a comprehensive analysis of relevant available literature along with our investigation regarding techniques for power delivery; both energy harvesting and wireless power transfer (WPT) alike. In addition, biological considerations are taken into account as they strongly influence the design and testing methodology of an implanted medical device (IMD). This study proposes using inductive coupling as a power delivery method. This was chosen due to the robust nature of the technology, with the IMD being deeply situated and encased in bone and tissue. Three types of receiver coil architectures were explored and designed around the geometry of a polyether ether ketone (PEEK) Extreme lateral interbody fusion (XLIF) Nuvasive Coroent XL interbody cage. With the use of off-the-shelf components, functionality was only attainable for the V3 coil design featured with 0.4 mm wire windings around horizontal and vertical beams present on the implant. The secondary coil was resonantly tuned and optimized for a 141 kHz working frequency. At a 100 mm coupling distance, it was demonstrated that a power delivery load (PDL) of 3.94 mA was able to be induced resulting in a power output of 7.21 mW. The recorded PDLs are capable of powering a high pressure P122 sensor, EFM8BB52 microcontroller, and Ultra-wideband (UWB) data telemetry link, and demonstrate the feasibility of this WPT technique for in vivo monitoring of bone fusion post XLIF surgery.
Development of an IoT-Based Smart Watering System for Monitoring and Increasing Soil Moisture Content in “Tabtim Siam” Pomelo Garden in Pak Phanang District, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, Southern Thailand

Published: September 2024

Abstract
In Thailand, “Tabtim Siam” pomelo production is essential for domestic consumption and export. Among several environmental factors, soil moisture is the most important factor for citrus plants’ growth and their fruit quality. During the main developmental stages of these plants, the required soil moisture should be above 70% (no water deficit). Therefore, keeping soil moisture at ≥70% in pomelo orchards is crucial. This study developed an IoT-based smart watering system that efficiently monitors soil moisture and assists in maintaining soil moisture at the required level even at a high temperature inside a pomelo orchard in Pak Phanang District, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, Southern Thailand.
Effect of Ancymidol and Phloroglucinol on the Number and the Quality of Shoots in the Micropropagation of Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.)
Authors: Al-Mayahi Ahmed Madi Waheed 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
The disadvantages of practical date palm micropropagation are tissue browning, low callus proliferation rate, low multiplication efficiency, and vitrification. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of ancymidol (Ancy) and phloroglucinol (PG) on the growth and some biochemical components of the ‘Barhee’ date palm cultured in vitro. The combination of 0.75 mg·l−1 Ancy and 50 mg·l−1 PG was found to be the most effective in terms of callus regeneration rate (89%) and number of shoots (14.3). A reduction in browning was observed in tissues cultured on media supplemented with 0.75 mg·l−1 Ancy in combination with 25 or 50 mg·l−1 PG. The medium supplemented with 0.75 mg·l−1 Ancy and 50 mg·l−1 PG eliminated shoot vitrification. Effective micropropagation was associated with increased carbohydrate and protein content. In this study, the genetic stability of plants obtained by micropropagation was confirmed by DNA-based RAPD fingerprinting. The results may indicate that the micropropagation protocol used in this study was suitable and applicable to the production of genetically stable date palm plants on a mass scale.
Leibniz’ und Kants Anthropozentrierung des Bösen und das neue Böse bei Nietzsche und Musil
Authors: Laux Matthias 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Leibniz’s metaphysics already justifies evil not only through the normative power of God, assuming that it is simultaneously the omnipotence of reason. For Kant, evil becomes definitively the sole problem of the rational being, human. While for Leibniz, the divine will had organized all practical relations of humans and movements of the physical world in such a way that the practical reason of all individuals is metaphysically constituted and evil is justified, Kant shifts the focus to the practical reason of humans as autonomous subjects. In this paradigm, God loses his metaphysical power, retaining only a moral role. Nietzsche and Musil build upon this context, yet surprisingly, they do not further advance this development. Instead, they reject the power of pure reason, which becomes absolute for Kant. Simultaneously, they draw on God’s metaphysical power over evil to formulate their concept of the new evil that confronts us in the practical contexts of modern life.
Gesundheitsreformen: Mehr Transparenz, mehr Effizienz und mehr Digitalisierung sind notwendig
Authors: Jochimsen Beate 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
The German healthcare system faces a diverse set of challenges including demographics, climate change and insufficient digitisation. The current healthcare reform involves a series of new legislation. The first focus is to overcome the overcapacity of hospitals and beds as well as economic disincentives in the inpatient sector. A second focus is to advance the integrated digitisation across health services. The current inpatient sector is overly quantity-driven, which among other things leads to increasing case numbers due to economic rather than purely medical imperatives. Digitsation legislation seeks to allow full use of electronic medical records. The important thing, however, is the swift implementation of reform.
Demokratie ohne Wachstum und Kultur des Wandels
Authors: Kurz Rudi 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Democracy in Germany is being challenged like never before in history. Criticism and radicalisation are growing, while acceptance and support are dwindling. There are many reasons for this – not least economic ones. “Growth weakness” is turning into a problem of fiscal sustainability. Economic and political systems are endangered by overburdening. Ways out of this danger can only be found if significant changes can be made in three areas: worst-case scenarios must be included; analysis must go beyond traditional supply-side policies and focus more on questions of distribution and justice; the search horizon for solutions must be expanded in the direction of socio-cultural potentials, with a shift in focus from technical to social innovation. The transformation to sustainable development must be understood as a cultural transformation; this is the only way it will succeed.
Zukunft Deutschlandticket: Verkehrswende, Finanzierung und wohlfahrtsökonomische Wirkung
Authors: Krämer Andreas , Mietzsch Oliver 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Previous analyses and evaluations of the Deutschland Ticket have generally focused on individual aspects, while an overall and welfare-economic assessment is lacking. On the basis of our own data material, supplemented by new research findings, we attempt to close this gap. The Deutschland Ticket generates benefits that are primarily determined by the consumer surplus and the reduction in external costs of car traffic. The cumulative benefit exceeds the costs of the ticket and generates a net economic benefit of almost two billion euros per year. Against this background, the possibilities for a change in financing are discussed.
Magnetohydrodynamic and Aerodynamic Assessment of a 70° Spherecone at Mars and Venus

Published: October 2024

An electrical conductivity database for continuum flow in a [Formula: see text] atmosphere over a 70° spherecone was created using the Data Parallel Line Relaxation Code computational fluid dynamics software to inform development of future magnetohydrodynamic subsystems at Venus and Mars. Sixteen freestream conditions were considered at Mars with atmospheric relative velocities from 5 to 8 km/s and altitudes between 20 and 80 km. Sixteen freestream conditions were considered at Venus with atmospheric relative velocities from 9 to 12 km/s and altitudes between 85 and 115 km. Results indicate that the total electrical conductivity in the flow volume always increases as velocity increases. At low velocities, the electrical conductivity is higher at high altitudes whereas, at high velocities, the electrical conductivity is higher at low altitudes. Three of the 80 km altitude computational fluid dynamics solutions show good agreement with direct simulation Monte Carlo results. In general, computational fluid dynamics predicts thinner shocks, higher electron number density, and similar vibrational temperatures to direct simulation Monte Carlo. The magnetohydrodynamic force was calculated at both Mars and Venus. Results indicate there may not be sufficient control authority to use magnetohydrodynamics as a trajectory control mechanism at Mars without artificially increasing the electrical conductivity of the flow, but there may be appreciable control authority for a drag-modulated aerocapture at Venus.

Authors: Weng Adrian Wee Tiong , Pang Justin Matthew 
Published: September 2024

Objective: The objective of this study is to examine the online complaints made by hotels guests staying in 4-star hotels in Hanoi on the popular travel website, Booking.com. The aim is to find out the reasons for the complaints and suggest possible solutions for them.

Theoretical Framework: The key concept underpinning this research paper is online reviews. Negative online reviews or sometimes referred to as negative word of mouth have been explored at length in academia and found to be quite detrimental to a hotels’ brand and performance.

Method: This research paper utilizes the content analysis research method. Negative reviews posted on 23 hotels listed on Bookings.com were collected and analyzed for themes or categories. Out of a total of 12,633 hotel reviews, 358 negative reviews including 532 complaints in eight major categories were recorded.

Results and Discussion: Research findings reveal that the negative reviews focused on rooms, bathrooms, staff, facilities, breakfast, location, reservations and promotions.

Research Implications: The findings indicate that online complaints are becoming more pertinent in today’s digital marketplaces and due attention must be paid on these negative reviews by hoteliers in Vietnam to avoid any adverse consequences.

Originality/Value: This study provides unique insights on the application of online reviews in Vietnam. No research has been made on the subject matter in Vietnam yet

Published: September 2024

<p>This study aims to analyze the reliability of the thesis assessment instrument using Generalizability Theory (G-Theory). This research is a quantitative study that applies G-Theory. G-Theory is unique and useful in evaluating the sources of actual variance and error in any measurement design. Thus, G-Theory contributes to improving reliability and validity in assessment. In this study, data were collected using a thesis assessment instrument that had been tested on thesis assessments conducted at the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Universitas Jambi. G-Theory analysis in this study includes several main points, namely G-Study, Optimization (D-Study), and G-facets analysis. The results of the analysis show that the assessment instrument has a fairly high level of reliability with a G coefficient of 0.78. This indicates that the instrument can be used effectively in the thesis assessment. In addition, based on the results of the analysis carried out, recommendations were obtained to reassess item number two, increase the number of raters to six people to increase the reliability of the instrument to 0.80 to meet the satisfactory category. The resulting recommendations can be used by developers to improve the reliability of instruments in future assessment activities. This research is also expected to be a reference for future researchers in applying G-Theory in analyzing the reliability of measurement instruments.</p>

Background
Carriage of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) in humans constitutes an important public health concern. Cross-transmission of bacteria between animals and humans has been demonstrated before.

Aim
Our aim was to quantify the risk factor ‘pet ownership’ for MDRO colonisation in hospital patients.

Methods
We performed a matched case–control study from 2019 to 2022 in Berlin, Germany and compared MDRO-positive and MDRO-negative patients in terms of contact with pets and other risk factors for MDRO acquisition. Patients completed a questionnaire-based interview and provided nasal and rectal swabs. Pet owners provided swab samples from the throat and stool of their pets (dogs and cats). Phenotypically matching samples of owners and pets were analysed via whole genome sequencing.

Results
The analyses included 2,891 patients. Reported pet ownership was 17.7% in MDRO-positives (154/871) and 23.4% in MDRO-negatives (472/2,020). Among 397 owner–pet pairs, we identified one pair sharing genotypically indistinguishable pathogens (0.3%). A risk factor analysis of pet ownership was performed for carriers of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) (OR = 0.662; 95% CI: 0.343–1.277), vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) (OR = 0.764; 95% CI: 0.522–1.118) and multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (MDR-GNB) (OR = 0.819; 95% CI: 0.620–1.082). Colonisation with MDRO was rare in pets, and dogs were more often colonised than cats (MRSA: 0% vs 0%, VRE: 1.5% vs 1.0%, MDR-GNB: 17.2% vs 3.6%).

Conclusion
Transmission of MDROs between humans and pets is possible though rare. In an urban living space, neither cat nor dog ownership appears as a relevant risk factor for MDRO carriage in hospital patients.
