Published: September 2024

Abstract
Silver nitrate (AgNO3), trisodium citrate dihydrate (C6H5Na3O7 · 2H2O), sodium borohydride (NaBH4), and L-ascorbic acid (C6H8O6) were combined in distilled water to create a triangular silver nanoprism particle (AgNPRP) solution. UV-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy at wavelengths of 350–460 nm and 580–700 nm was observed, and as a result of them, the successful formation of the triangular AgNPRPs was confirmed. The prepared silver nanoprism particles were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), and transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and employed for the colorimetric detection of platinum(IV) ions in an aqueous solution containing Pt4+ ions. The color of the aqueous silver nanoprism particle solution, containing Pt4+ ions, changed from blue to light brown before turning colorless. Using UV-vis spectrophotometry, the detection limit of the Pt4+ ion concentration was determined to be 6.23 μM in an aqueous solution of silver nanoprism particles. The proposed method was applied for detecting Pt4+ ions in tap water samples.

Lean implementation focuses on reducing waste and improving efficiency in business operations, a strategy widely embraced in developed countries. However, its adoption among Indonesian SMEs is limited and lacks adequate research. Understanding how lean practices can effectively enhance competitiveness and productivity in this vital sector of the Indonesian economy is crucial. Despite its widespread use in Western countries, there's a noticeable gap in research specifically examining how lean principles are applied within SMEs, especially in developing countries like Indonesia. Furthermore, there's a clear scarcity of studies detailing the current state of lean implementation in Indonesia, particularly within SMEs. This study conducted a systematic literature review (SLR), thoroughly searching peer-reviewed journals and conference papers. We identified 441 articles related to lean practices in Indonesia, with 40 focusing specifically on SMEs. Through this review, we uncovered key themes and trends in lean implementation, offering valuable insights into current practices and highlighting areas for future research. This paper represents one of the first comprehensive SLRs exploring lean practices within Indonesian SMEs. It aims to deepen our understanding of how lean methodologies impact SME operations in Indonesia and provides practical guidance for researchers and practitioners interested in lean implementation. By bridging these research gaps, we hope to contribute to the body of knowledge on lean implementation in Indonesian SMEs, suggesting strategies for effective implementation and paving the way for further study in this important area.

Published: September 2024

The global surge in demand for courier services has introduced both benefits and challenges. Courier workers face immense pressure to handle large volumes of orders, leading to increasing cases of health and occupational injuries. The lack of ergonomic interventions in their work highlights the urgent need for ergonomic assessments in the courier industry. In Malaysia, current ergonomic risk assessments for warehouse courier workers are insufficient, making it essential to identify prevalent musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and determine the associated risk factors and levels posed by their daily tasks. This study aimed to address this gap by conducting ergonomic risk assessments among 35 warehouse workers using the Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire (CMDQ), the Initial Ergonomic Risk Assessment (ERA) Checklist, and Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA). Three different work tasks were observed: scanning and sorting, tiered storage and stacking, and load unloading. The findings revealed that lower back pain was the most common ailment (14.5%), followed by hip pain (8.39%) and neck pain (7.89%). The tiered stacking storage activity posed the highest ergonomic risk, with identified risk factors including awkward postures, static and sustained activity, and repetitive tasks. The REBA analysis indicated a very high-level risk for tiered stacking storage, necessitating immediate ergonomic interventions. These findings contribute to the field of ergonomics and provide valuable insights for safety practitioners, ergonomists, researchers, and academicians in occupational safety and health and the courier service industries.

Factors Contributing to the Burden of Depression Amongst Patients Receiving Hemodialysis at Public and Private Dialysis Centres
Authors: Raghavan Ajay , Billa Varun , Billa Viswanath 
Published: September 2024

Background
Chronic kidney disease poses significant morbidity on patients and subjects them to stressors in financial, occupational, and social aspects, making them vulnerable to mental health problems. We estimated the prevalence of depression in CKD patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) and evaluated the factors affecting it.

Materials and Methods
This cross-sectional survey included 282 patients from four Apex Kidney Care centers, Mumbai. Their mental health was assessed using PHQ-9 survey, a validated questionnaire for identifying depression. Categorical variables were compared using the Chi square test and continuous variables with the Mann Whitney U test. Logistic regression was used for multivariate analysis and odds ratios were calculated.

Results
Females constituted 36.52% of the study population. There was an equal distribution of patients from charitable centers (142 patients) and private centers (140 patients). The current analysis focused on those patients (n = 60) with significant depression i.e. a PHQ-9 score of 10 or greater, and these were compared to the rest of patients (n = 222). In logistic regression, female gender (p = 0.002), catheter as access (p = 0.025), stress of food restriction (p < 0.0001) showed statistically significant positive association, whereas being employed (p = 0.022) showed statistically significant negative association with depression. The distribution of patients with significant depression in both public (21.10%) and private (21.40%) centers was equal.

Conclusion
The prevalence of depression in MHD patients is substantial. Employment status, catheter access, and food restrictions are the modifiable factors influencing mental health. A focused approach on maximizing arterio-venous fistula creation, diet counseling, employment friendly shift adjustments, and mental health counseling can help mitigate this challenge.

Published: September 2024

The article considers the distribution of unique lakes in the territory of Yakutia. The Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) is one of the most lake regions in Russia. Since 1978, the Laboratory of Lake Science of the Yakut State University, later North-Eastern Federal University, has been engaged in scientific research of the lakes of Yakutia for many years under the scientific supervision of the famous geographer-limnologist, Ph.D., Professor I.I. Zhirkov, which is known among lake scientists of Russia and the world as the Yakut school of Limnology. As a result, a landscape-limnogenetic classification of lakes by types of basin origin was compiled, hydrological and morphometric parameters were identified, lake resources were determined, including "unique lakes" [1]. Unique lakes are a group of specially protected lakes that represent great economic, social and aesthetic value for current and future generations. The list of 26 unique lakes was determined by Decree of the President of the RS (Ya) dated 08/16/2004 No. 836 [2].The unique lakes of Yakutia are mainly considered in the ecological aspect as specially protected natural objects. The relevance of this article lies in the geographical approach to identify the uniqueness, natural features of the unique lakes of Yakutia. A comprehensive geographical description provides a general physical and geographical characteristic of each unique lake, depending on its geographical location, natural features, accessibility, natural and economic significance for the economy, population, conservation status, etc.The landscape approach to the spatial analysis of the distribution of lakes was reflected in the consideration of the distribution of unique lakes across the physico-geographical provinces of Yakutia.
