ABSTRACT
Open cast mining activities contributes to rapid change in vegetation dynamics and severe damage to ecological environment. Landuse and landcover (LULC) change in the opencast mining area can have significant impact on regional ecosystems and carbon cycle. In this study, LULC change dynamics is studied over an opencast Dongri Buzurg manganese mine in Maharashtra for the period 2014 to 2022. The area has experienced significant changes in LULC, making it critical to evaluate the environmental effect and suggest strategies for lowering its impact on net primary production (NPP). NPP was measured using remote sensing data from two satellite platforms (Sentinel 2A and MODIS) for the period 2014 to 2022. Simulated model such as the climate productivity model (Thornthwaite Memorial) was used to correlate satellite-derived NPP data. The spatial and temporal changes in NPP with respect to LULC were analyzed. Out of the total 78 km2 of area, 8.33 km2 of land has been converted which resulted in net reduction of NPP from 5.71 gC/m2/day (2014) to 4.45 gC/m2/day (2022) (H” 3.34 gG of net carbon lost into the atmosphere over a span of 8 years). The transformation of forest area to degraded land was the most significant contributor to NPP decline, accounting for 40.55% of overall NPP reduction. Based on the measured NPP results, a correlation analysis was performed with simulated NPP derived from the climate productivity model to understand the effectiveness of remote sensing data in NPP retrieval. Both S2A and MODIS data showed good agreement with that of the climate productivity model (R2 = 0.580 and 0.689 for MODIS derived NPP for the year 2014; R2 = 0.655 for Sentinel 2A derived NPP for the year 2022). These findings may serve as a guide for scientific evaluation of ecological losses due to mining and search for more effective and sustainable land reclamation techniques. Present study also demonstrates the application of finer resolution satellite data Sentinel 2A and MODIS for estimation of NPP. The findings might serve as a guide for further research into how mining affects local surroundings and for the investigation of more effective methods for land reclamation.

Published: August 2024

ABSTRACT
The key function of surface miner is to mechanically excavate in-situ rock. Strength properties i.e. the resistance of the rock to break limits the cutting speed and in turn overall performance of the surface miner. Quantitative account of rock properties in relation to cutting speed of surface miner is essential for precise estimation of its net performance. A study encompassing operating parameters (cutting speed and depth of cut) of surface miner and rock/rock mass parameters were conducted in a few coal and limestone mines located in different parts of India. Intact rock and rock mass parameters were correlated with cutting speed of surface miners and also confirmed through principal component analysis. A multiple regression equation is developed based on these outcomes to predict cutting speed taking depth of cut into consideration. An empirical relation is also developed to predict the production after arriving at suitable operating conditions. An easy to use nomogram is developed for fixing the optimum cutting speed based on the studies carried out.

Authors: Sah Bajarang Prasad 
Published: August 2024

When treating carcinoma of the lip, surgical excision often becomes necessary to remove cancerous tissue, which subsequently requires reconstructive surgery to restore both functional integrities, like speech and swallowing, and aesthetic desirability as the lip is a prominent facial feature. Different flap techniques are employed depending on the size, location, and extent of the resection.To evaluate the functional & aesthetic outcome of different techniques used in lip reconstruction after lip cancer ablative surgery. A retrospective review of all patients undergoing lip reconstruction using various techniques after lip cancer ablative surgery between 2021 and 2023 were conducted at a tertiary cancer hospital. Descriptive analysis was done. Out of 17 patients, 12 were men and five were women. The mean age was 52.23 years. Out of 17 patients, primary closure using W-plasty and V-plasty technique was used in four patients, lip & commissure by Zisser Flap in one patient, lip advancement and Karapandzic flap in three patients, Bilateral Webster Bernard Flap in one patient, nasolabial flap in patients, Bilobed Pectoralis Major Myocutaneous Flap in one patient, free radial artery forearm flap with palmaris tendon in two patients, Free Anterolateral thigh Flap in two patients and lip & mandibular reconstruction with Free Fibula Osteocutaneous flap in one patient. Oral competence was present in 15 cases and only two patients having minimal incompetence those reconstructed with anterolateral and Radial artery forearm free Flap. Aesthetic outcome was excellent in seven cases, good in six cases and satisfactory in four cases. In one case, minor wound dehiscence was present that healed spontaneously and one had seroma that resolved with serial needle aspiration. Minor grade microstoma was observed in four cases and speech problem in three cases which was minimal in severity.Successful reconstruction of all type of lip defects can be attained, if as many reconstructive procedures as possible have been mastered, and an appropriate technique is used according to the lip defect.

Published: August 2024

The subject of the research is the treatment of peri-implant mucositis.
The goal is to clinically evaluate the effectiveness of the antiseptic gel “Curasept ADS 350” for initial inflammation of peri-implant tissues.
Methodology. The group of subjects included 66 patients (23 men, 43 women) aged from 41 to 64 years (average age 52.17 ± 1.23 years). Their initial peri-implant mucositis was relieved by using the “gum” gel “Curasept ADS 350” (Italy) with 0.5% chlorhexidine bigluconate. To analyze the health status of peri-implant tissues, clinical, radiological, clinical-laboratory and clinical-sociological examination methods were used. Statistical processing of materials was carried out using SAS v9.4 software.
Results. After 2–3 weeks of treatment, including day and night applications of the therapeutic antiseptic gel "Curasept ADS 350", individual signs of mucositis remained in only one person (1.52%), who was successfully given a second course of complex therapy, including local antibiotic administration. The depth of the cuff pockets, probably due to swelling, was greatest. After treatment and in the long term, it statistically significantly decreased (p < 0.001). Clinical and social author's methods of examining the expert assessment “TAPATR” and patients' self-assessment of the condition of peri-implant tissues “PARTAT” demonstrated a significant improvement (p < 0.01) in the level of health and its preservation 3 months after treatment (p < 0.02).
Conclusion
1.	Almost all (pathognomonic and highly specific) signs of inflammation were obvious in the vast majority of those examined (96.97–100%). They had not yet developed pain, which in some patients (4 people, 6.06%) was caused by light pressure or palpation of soft peri-implant tissues. In particular, in this regard, all of them were diagnosed with “initial” peri-implant mucositis.
2.	The use of the antiseptic gel “Curasept” demonstrated high efficiency, since after 5 days of taking it, the symptoms of inflammation completely disappeared in the vast majority of those examined (65 people, 98.48%), was partially reduced in another patient (1.52%) and were completely eliminated during a second course of treatment.

PEMETAAN JUMLAH KRIMINALITAS DI KALIMANTAN SELATAN MENGGUNAKAN METODE CO-KRIGING DAN INVERSE DISTANCE WEIGHTING
Authors: Gazali Muhammad Haidir 
Published: August 2024

AbstractCriminality is any form of action that harms economically and psychologically and violates the law, social norms and religion. South Kalimantan is in 21st position with an average of 3,282 criminal cases per year in the period 2018 to 2020. One method to interpolate data in unsampled locations is the co-kriging and inverse distance weighting (IDW) method. This study aims to estimate the number of crimes in South Kalimantan with the co-kriging and IDW methods, compare the results to determine the best method, and present a thematic map of the distribution of crime in South Kalimantan. In the co-kriging method, the number of crimes is the primary variable and population density is the secondary variable. The result of this research is that between the two methods, IDW is better for interpolation in estimating the crime value than the co-kriging method. The IDW method provides good interpolation results whose interpolation value is close to the value of the real data. Although co-kriging has the potential to provide accurate results if the cross-variogram model can be formed properly, the constraints faced in this study indicate that IDW remains a more stable and reliable choice in estimating crime in South Kalimantan.

In the present study, an attempt was made to evaluate the body weight of barred spiny eel based on morphologic traits. Ten morphometric characters and five meristic counts were measured for 38 specimens, ranging in standard length from 77.80 to 149.60 mm and 2.02 to 17.89 g in weight. All the data sets were standardised using the z-transformationmethod. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) test was performed to measure the sample adequacy level, which was found to be 0.85. The significance of the correlation matrix in all traits was tested with Bartlett’s test of sphericity, which was found to be significant (χ2 = 793.360, df = 105, p<0.01). Four of the fifteen principal components (PCs) explained around 85% of the total variation. The first principal component (PC1) contributed 57.52% of the total variation and was represented by significant positive high-loading factors for pre-dorsal (PDL), pre-anal (PAL), and standard length (SL). The second principal component (PC2) explained 10.90% of the total variation and was represented by significant positive high-loading factors for anal fin rays (AFR) and dorsal fin rays (DFR). The third and fourth principal components explained 9.26 and 7.41% of total variation and showed high loading factors for pectoral fin (PFR), and caudal fin rays (CFR), respectively. The estimated communalities ranged from 0.658 for eye diameter (ED) to 0.978 for pre-dorsal fin length (PDL). The species’ body weight was predicted using stepwise multiple regression of interdependent morphometric traits and four extracted PCs. Stepwise multiple regression revealed that a combination of three interdependent variables, such as pre-dorsal length (PDL), body depth (BD), and post-orbital length (POL), to be the best to predict the body weight of species based on the coefficient of determinant value (r2 = 93). Therefore, the study confirms that the species’ body weight is function of the three interdependent variables rather than orthogonal variables.

Published: August 2024

Abstract

With the number of energy vehicles increases, so does the quantity of used batteries. However, the stakeholders of the new energy battery supply chain, so far, have not been able to take responsibility for recycling. In this study, the influence of different subsidy strategies adopted by the government on the determination of each participant in the new energy battery supply chain is determined in the case of government participation and anarchy participation. We observed different strategies for government involvement, such as government recycling subsidies, profit reward and punishment policies, and total recovery costs and profits. At the same time, we designed a game strategy. This strategy shows that in the case of interaction between recyclers and manufacturers, the higher the additional income of recyclers and the degree of cooperation of manufacturers to participate in recycling processing, the higher the compensation for non-partners, and the recyclers and manufacturers are more inclined to increase the level of recycling. Compared with no subsidies and no government participation, government participation can improve the recycling rate of used batteries and the profits of enterprises. Our work provides decision support for government involvement in the energy vehicle supply chain.

Green surfactant assisted-solidified floating organic drop micro-extraction (SA-SFODME) for the preconcentration of trace cobalt and determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS)
Authors: Ünaldı Mustafa , Durukan İlknur 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

This study focuses on refining the solidified floating organic drop microextraction (SFODME) without using chelating agent technique for enhancing the preconcentration of trace cobalt levels. The cobalt ion formed a hydrophobic complex with the help of the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS), and this hydrophobic complex was extracted into the 1-dodecanol drop. This serves as a preliminary step for subsequent analysis using flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). Several factors influencing microextraction efficiency, such as pH, sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) concentration, extraction time, stirring rate, and temperature, were systematically investigated to determine optimal conditions. Under these optimized parameters, an enhancement factor of 80 was achieved for a 25 mL sample solution. The calibration curve displayed linearity within the 0.01–0.075 mg/L range, with a limit of detection (3s) of 2.8 µg/L and a limit of quantification (10s) of 9.3 µg/L. The relative standard deviation (RSD) for 10 replicate measurements of 10 µg/L cobalt was 2.1%. The method was successfully applied to extract and determine cobalt in reference water samples and various real water samples, showing notably high extraction yields.

Abstract

Aphidius gifuensis and Aphidoletes aphidimyza are widely used in agriculture to control Myzus persicae using inundative biological control (IBC). However, it is not clear whether intraguild predation (IGP) can be overcome to achieve stable aphid control when both predators and parasitoids are released simultaneously for M. persicae control. In this work, we evaluated the oviposition site selection and prey preference of predatory gall midges or parasitoids in the presence of intragroup species, and the efficiency of aphid control in greenhouse greenhouses after releasing them in various methods. Predatory gall midge will avoid laying eggs on plants with only parasitic aphids, but A. gifuensis has no obvious parasitism options under predatory gall midge larval activity. Intraguild predation has no significant effect on predation preference in A. aphidimyza, but significantly alters parasitism preference in A. gifuensis. In addition, among all treatments in the greenhouse experiment, the best aphid control was achieved by releasing A. aphidimyza for 8 days followed by the A. gifuensis treatment, while the treatment of releasing A. gifuensis for 8 days followed by A. aphidimyza was less effective in controlling aphids than the treatment of releasing only A. aphidimyza. These results suggest that simultaneous release of A. gifuensis and A. aphidimyza for peach aphid control is synergistic, but is significantly affected by the mode of release. It may prove valuable for the development improved augmentative release strategies for these two natural enemies.
