Abstract
Background Autologous breast reconstruction (ABR) after mastectomy is increasing due to benefits over implant-based reconstruction. However, free flap reconstruction is not universally offered to patients of advanced age due to perceived increased perioperative risk.
Methods Patients undergoing free flap breast reconstruction at our institution from 2005 to 2018 were included. Risk-adjusted logistic regression models were fit while controlling for demographic and comorbid characteristics to determine the association of age with the probability of venous thromboembolism (VTE), delayed healing, skin necrosis, surgical site infection (SSI), seroma, hematoma, hernia, and flap loss. Linear predictions from risk-adjusted logistic regression models were used to create spline curves and determine the risk of outcomes associated with age.
Results A cohort of 2,598 patients underwent free flap breast reconstruction in the period examined. The median age was 51 with approximately 9% of patients being 65 or older. Increased age was associated with a greater risk of delayed healing, skin necrosis, and hematoma after surgery. There was no increased risk of medical complications such as VTE or complications such as flap loss, seroma, or SSI.
Conclusion A set age cutoff for patients undergoing free flap breast reconstruction does not appear warranted. There is no difference in major surgical complications such as flap loss with increasing age. However, older age does predispose patients to specific wound complications such as hematoma, skin necrosis, and delayed wound healing, which should guide preoperative counseling. Further, medical complications do not increase with advanced age. Overall, however, the safety of ABR in older patients appears uncompromised.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness and safety of gelatin–thrombin matrix sealants (GTMSs) in minimally invasive microscopic discectomy, a surgical procedure commonly used to treat lumbar disc herniation.
Materials and Methods Out of 484 patients who underwent minimally invasive microscopic discectomy between April 2018 and December 2022, 35 patients with a history of surgery at the same level were excluded, resulting in a total of 449 patients included in the study. Among them, 316 patients were treated using GTMS, whereas 133 were treated using collagen-based absorbable local hemostatic agents. Patient characteristics, surgical duration, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage volume, intraoperative dural injury, and incidence of postoperative epidural hematoma were analyzed and compared between the two groups.
Results No significant differences in patient demographics were observed between the two groups, except for activated partial thromboplastin time and prothrombin time. Although there were no significant differences in the mean surgical time and intraoperative blood loss between the two groups, they tended to be shorter and less in the GTMS group (56.3 ± 20.2 vs. 58.2 ± 20.4 minutes [p = 0.36] and 10.0 ± 15.4 vs. 11.8 ± 8.3 g [p = 0.20]). The volume of postoperative drainage was significantly lower in the GTMS group than that in the comparison group (35.3 ± 21.8 vs. 49.5 ± 34.1 g [p < 0.01]). There was a trend indicating a difference in the number of intraoperative dural injuries and the need for reoperation due to postoperative epidural hematoma (2 vs. 3 ± 20.4 minutes [p = 0.21] and 1 vs. 2 [p = 0.16]).
Conclusion The use of a GTMS in minimally invasive microscopic discectomy appears to be beneficial in reducing postoperative drainage volume. It has also been shown that it may improve clinical outcomes such as intraoperative dural injury and postoperative epidural hematoma. Furthermore, further consideration of the medical economic impact is required.

Abstract
Indonesia southern waters area is one of the places where tropical storms form and develop into tropical cyclones. Apart from cyclones, southern Indonesia waters also experienced other oceanographic phenomena, the seasonal upwelling and downwelling. This study aims to investigate the physical conditions in southern Indonesia waters during the TC Blake-Claudia which occurred during seasonal downwelling period. Historical data shows that tropical cyclones in southern Indonesia generally occur in DFJ and almost never occur in JJA. Meanwhile, the downwelling period occurs during the DJF season. The results show TC Blake-Claudia has weaken or disrupted seasonal downwelling by decreasing SSHA and increasing chlorophyll concentration. This change in oceanographic parameter expected to be occur not only as the result of cyclonic activity which creates a void of water on the coast, but also supported by the initial conditions of the study area which tend to remain unstable just after upwelling event ends.

Abstract
Lobster is one of the fisheries products which has become the most searched in international trade because of its high price. Therefore, the highest number of lobsters is from the natural fishing effort. The increasing market has an impact on decreasing habitat. Uncontrollable degradation impact requires an alternative to save the stability of lobster production in nature. This study aims to analyse the suitability of candidate locations for the placement of Lobster Artificial Reefs. The selection site uses the Stationary Visual Census method, while oceanography parameters use Water Quality Checker. Data collection was done in August and October 2021. The analyse suitability site was based on the bio-ecological parameters from some research stations. The research recommended all stations from 2014 to 2016 and FGD in July 2021. Recommendation site was found around Tiung Stone station. It is expected to be a protected area from predators, and it can be a feeding area to provide natural food during lobsters’ life cycle in nature. These results still need to ensure the effectiveness of the artificial habitat function for lobster breeding. Further analysis is required to see the effectiveness value of the location and lobster artificial reef before being implemented in other locations.

Published: June 2024

Abstract
This study aims to develop a program to calculate Degree Heating Weeks (DHW) using Python programming and Sea Surface Temperature (SST) data available in Google Earth Engine (GEE) datasets, e.g., HyCom, NOAA OISST v2.1, MODIS-Aqua, and NOAA Pathfinder v5.3. This study contributes to providing a DHW calculator currently unavailable on the Internet to analyze coral bleaching. This program is called PyDHW. The DHW was calculated by inputting the desired location in a polygon, a specific time range, and the SST data. The results show that Python code can extract SST from the GEE dataset according to the user’s input. This SST data is the average of the SST inside the polygon area. This program calculates and shows a graph of the DHW showing coral bleaching alert levels. All these processes were performed quickly in one run. HyCom and NOAA OISST v2.1 have a long and continuous data range. NOAA OISST v2.1 is still updated in the GEE dataset rather than the others. The MODIS-Aqua contains blank time-series data for several measurements. The NOAA Pathfinder v5.3 data shows extreme change in time series data and low temperatures with different patterns from the other SST data. However, this program is still under development and needs improvements. This program is expected to help users concerned with coral research and monitoring.

Published: June 2024

Abstract
Coral reefs are fragile and endangered ecosystems in the tropical marine and coastal environment. Thermal stress induced by marine heatwaves (MHWs) can significantly harm coral health, leading to bleaching of the coral ecosystem. This study aims to quantify coral bleaching intensity in the Lombok region over recent decades, by analyzing MHWs intensity data derived from satellite-measured SST. In 1998, the coral reef area reached its peak with 36,550.71 ha. There was a sharp decline in 1999, reaching the lowest point at 4,865.76 ha. A significant increase was observed until a new peak in 2018 with 23,120.19 ha. The Western region experienced a significant increase from 1998 to 2018, followed by a decline. The Eastern Region showed significant fluctuations but generally trended upwards until 2018, followed by a sharp decline in 2019-2022. The Southern Region also experienced fluctuations, with an increase until 2018, followed by a significant decrease until 2022. The Northern Region showed a stable trend until 2016, then experienced a significant decline in 2017, and increased again in 2018. However, in subsequent years, the coral reef area in the Northern region remained relatively stable. Factors such as changes in sea surface temperature, human activities (e.g., overfishing or pollution), and climate change may have contributed to these fluctuations in the coral reef area on Lombok Island.

Abstract
Marine infrastructure is an established sector in the blue economy of Indonesia and is expected to shift from a project to a product-based approach. At the same time, the development of the blue economy depends on the economic value that needs to cut down the construction cost for marine infrastructure. To realize this development plan, a structural design optimization framework must be initiated to design a more resilient and high-economy value infrastructure. Marine infrastructures in Indonesia are dominated by jacket-type structures suitable for shallow water. A study of design optimization for jacket-type offshore structures is conducted in this paper. The structure is designed for the Indonesia Sea, located in North Gresik. The optimization is conducted with the structure limit state as the constraint as a meta-model. Variables are the dimensions of structural main members, consisting of the tubular member radius and thickness. The highest optimization ratio is achieved for the wall thickness variable. The cost objective and computational effort reduction prove the feasibility of the proposed design optimization method.

Abstract
One of the efforts for monitoring and managing mangrove areas is mapping the mangrove areas at the species level. This aims to explore the potential and efforts for rehabilitation, as well as an inventory of the mangrove areas biodiversity. The study area was located in the mangrove Kasih Sayang area, Mundupesisir Village, Cirebon Regency, West Java. Remote sensing image data which have high-resolution can be utilized to more efficiently map mangrove species. The approach that can be used is the Geographic Object-Based Imagery Analysis (GEOBIA) method. This research aims to (1) map the mangrove species in Mundupesisir Village, Cirebon using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) data and WorldView-3 imagery, and (2) compare the results and accuracy assessment values of mangrove species from UAV data and WorldView-3 imagery. UAV data (0.0179 m) has a visible image (RGB) band, while WorldView-3 is a multispectral image that has 8 bands (2 m) and a panchromatic band (0.5 m). Field data collection was obtained and collected at purposive random sampling to identify different species based on their physical characteristics. The GEOBIA approach used includes segmentation and classification processes. Multiresolution segmentation algorithm was used in the segmentation process. The classification used the Nearest Neighbor algorithm based on segmentation results. The results of the GEOBIA approach successfully mapped three dominant species in the mangrove Kasih Sayang area, Mundupesisir, Cirebon Regency, namely Avicennia marina, Rhizophora mucronata, and Acrostichum aureum.

Abstract
One of the largest ports in West Java is Cirebon, which serves an important role in supporting the surrounding economy and becoming the alternatives of the biggest port in Java. Numerous loading and unloading activities are recorded with coal as one of the commodities. Sedimentation and water quality is a common issue facing any port. To assess the recent condition of the port, an oceanographic parameter and hydrography survey is one approach. A field survey in the Cirebon port, particularly around the channel and outside part was carried out in February 2023. The bathymetry result at the channel varied within 0 - 10 m depth. The mixed semidiurnal type in this area has a tidal range around 1.1 m. Sea current inside the port has low speed within 0-0.03 m/s meanwhile outside of the port can reach 0.13 m/s. Through the weathering system, the average temperature is 26.3°C, average wind speed of 2.25 m/s dominantly blowing from west, relative humidity around 88.6%, and rain rate also low. In the study, the sea condition of surface temperature, salinity, turbidity, DO, and pH is 28.5°-29.3°C, 29.9-30.1 psu, 3.65-17.68 FTU, 3.69-4.83 mg/L and pH 7.9-8.2, respectively. Based on the national water quality standard for the port, the condition is within threshold for several parameters.
Investigation of the use of cobalt and nickel based nanoalloys as cement mortar additives
Authors: Karaduman Emre , Pişkin Mehmet Burçin 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
The usage potential of chemical and green synthesized cobalt (Co) and nickel (Ni) nanoalloys (CoNiNAs) as mortar additives at different ratios was evaluated. The CoCl2 and NiCl2 metallic salt solutions were mixed in volume ratios of 1-1, 1-2, and 2-1 and reduced with NaBH4 and St. John's Wort aqueous extract, respectively. The obtained Co-Ni based complex nanoalloys were analyzed by Ultraviolet-Visible Spectroscopy (UV-Vis), X-Ray Diffraction Analysis (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), and Dynamic Light Scattering Particle Size Analyzer (DLS). The effect of CoNiNAs was investigated based on the amount used in mortar, flexural and compressive strengths of mortar, setting time retarder properties, and carbonation depth measurements of mortars and nanoalloy form based on whether they were solid (chemical synthesise) or liquid (green synthesise). The results revealed that the chemical synthesized CoNiNAs were amorphous metal-metal-oxide complexes with small spherical particles and a low dispersity index, whereas the green synthesized complexes had a more crystalline structure and smaller sizes. The mortar properties were affected by Co and Ni synthesis ratios and addition amounts. The incorporation of CoNiNAs led to an increase in the setting times of mortar. Furthermore, the ‘CN’ 2% sample exhibited the highest compression (49.10±1.19 MPa) and flexural (8.19±0.20 MPa) strengths. In addition, the ‘CN2’ 1% sample exhibited the lowest carbonation depth (2.95±0.35 mm) compared to other samples. Overall, mortars with CoNiNAs additives may be used in high temperature environments, and long shipment times require remote locations due to setting time retarder effect without losing necessary physical properties.
Role of tidal mixing on ocean exchange through the Strait of Hormuz

Published: June 2024

Abstract
We investigate the influence of tides on the exchange of water between the Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman through the Strait of Hormuz using a high-resolution numerical model. Two numerical simulations are contrasted, one with and one without tidal forcing. We find that tides suppress exchange through the Strait, by ∼20% in the annual mean, being largest in the summer (∼30%) and diminishing in the winter (∼13%). Tides enhance the parameterised shear-driven vertical mixing inside the Gulf and Strait, mixing warm, relatively fresh surface waters downward thus reducing the density of bottom waters flowing outwards. This reduces the lateral difference of density between Gulf and Sea of Oman and hence the exchange through the Strait. Maximum reductions occur in summer when both the vertical stratification and mixing is the largest.
Comparative simulation analysis of μc Si:H and SnS BSF layers in CIGS solar cells
Authors: Deo Manish , Chauhan R K , Kumar Manish 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
In this paper, we presented Cu(In1-xGax)Se2 (CIGS) based solar cells in which hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon (μc Si:H) and tin sulfide (SnS) are used as back surface field (BSF) layers. In CIGS thin film solar cell technology, thickness serves a crucial factor. Optimizing absorber thickness reduces the usage of scarce and expensive materials such as indium (In) and gallium (Ga) in CIGS cells. Integrating a heavily doped layer between the absorber and the back surface, known as the back surface field (BSF) layer, in solar cell design is a successful strategy for minimizing the thickness of the absorber layer. The suggested configuration utilizes μc-Si:H and SnS as the back surface field (BSF) layer. The buffer layer in this configuration employs less harmful InP instead of the typically utilized CdS layer. All the simulation work is performed using SCAP-1D simulation tool. The utilization of μc Si:H and SnS BSF layers yields optimized efficiencies of 31.51% and 31.01%, respectively. This simulation work demonstrates that use of a proper BSF layer is very effective not only in performance enhancement but also in reducing absorber material thickness.

Abstract
Climate change is projected to increase the risk of dust storms, particularly in subtropical dryland, including the southwestern US. Research on dust storm’s health impacts in the US is limited and hindered by challenges in dust storm identification. This study assesses the potential link between dust storms and cardiorespiratory emergency department (ED) visits in the southwestern US. We acquired data for 2005–2016 from eight IMPROVE (Interagency Monitoring of PROtected Visual Environments) sites in Arizona, California, and Utah. We applied a validated algorithm to identify dust storm days at each site. We acquired patient-level ED visit data from state agencies and ascertained visits for respiratory, cardiovascular, and cause-specific subgroups among patients residing in ZIP codes within 50 km of an IMPROVE site. Using a case-crossover design, we estimated short-term associations of ED visits and dust storms, controlling for temporally varying covariates. During 2005–2016, 40 dust storm days occurred at the eight IMPROVE sites. Mean PM10 and PM2.5 levels were three to six times greater on dust storm days compared to non-dust storm days. Over the study period, there were 2 524 259 respiratory and 2 805 925 cardiovascular ED visits. At lags of 1, 2, and 3 days after a dust storm, we observed 3.7% (95% CI: 1.0%, 7.6%), 4.9% (95% CI: 1.1%, 8.9%), and 5.0% (95% CI: 1.3%, 8.9%) elevated odds of respiratory ED visits compared to non-dust storm days. Estimated associations of dust storm days and cardiovascular disease ED visits were largely consistent with the null. Using a monitoring-based exposure metric, we observed associations among dust storms and respiratory ED visits. The results add to growing evidence of the health threat posed by dust storms. The dust storm metric was limited by lack of daily data; future research should consider information from satellite and numerical models to enhance dust storm characterization.
‘Making-remote’ as an Alternative to Realism in Late Palaeolithic Cave Art: Representations of the Human at the Threshold of Appearance
Authors: Hughes Fiona 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
I initiate the concept of ‘making-remote’ to capture various strategies for representing the human in late Palaeolithic cave art. Drawing out the role of remoteness within phenomenological accounts of perception (Husserl and Merleau-Ponty), as well as offering an analysis of a wide range of archaeological evidence, I argue that realism does not capture the specificity of these human representations. In contrast to naturalistic animal representations, humans are consistently represented with a high degree of abstraction e.g. schematisation and abbreviation. I also argue for a site-specific distinction between deep caves and rock-shelters. Following Bourdier (2010) and Pinçon (2012), art at sites such as Roc-aux-Sorciers is best understood as stylised ‘public art’. Meanwhile, the highly expressive and realist art of La Marche is domestic in contrast to the exclusively symbolic art of deep caves. In conclusion I argue that ‘making-remote’ in cave art’s human representations exhibits complex relations to self and others.
