Abstract

Textile effluent comprises Colours, heavy metals, and other chemicals. Before discharge into waterways, Colour and COD should be reduced. This research used Canna Indica biochar adsorption and Ozonation to reduce COD and remove Colour. The effects of adsorbent dose, solution pH, contact duration, activating agent, and ozonation rate on COD reduction and Colour removal were examined. Potassium hydroxide-treated Canna Indica (KBC) reduced COD by 96.90% at 2.5 g/L, 8 pH, 17 hr, and 100 mL/min at ambient conditions, while sodium hydroxide-treated biochar (NBC) removed Colour at 2.5 g/L, pH 8.5, 17 hours, and 57.5 mL/min. This research found pseudo-second-order biochar adsorption in textile effluent. Chemical sorption was dominant for textile wastewater COD and Colour removal. Order of significance: pH > adsorbent dose > contact duration > ozonation rate. KBC and NBC had maximal adsorption capacities of 357.14 mg/g and 333.33 mg/g, respectively. According to the RSM-BBD study, pH was crucial for COD and Colour removal via adsorption and ozonation. Ordering R2 isotherms according to significance Langmuir > Temkin > Redlich-Peterson > Freundlich = Halsey > Dubinin-Radushkevich for KBC and NBC. Response Surface Methodology predicts COD and Colour reduction. Approach utilizing real-time textile dye wastewater adsorption upon activated Canna Indica charcoal and ozonation
Median Based Unit Weibull (MBUW) A New Unit Distribution: Comparisons Between Variants of Generalized Methods of Moments and Percentile Estimator
Authors: Attia Iman Mohammed 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

This paper introduces a new two-parameter unit Weibull distribution defined on the interval (0,1). It discusses the methodology for deriving its probability density function (PDF), explores various properties, and presents related functions. Numerous figures illustrate the distribution and demonstrate its effectiveness in fitting a wide range of skewed real data. The parameter estimation process using maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) faced challenges, particularly concerning large variance. To address these issues, the generalized method of moments (GMMs) and percentile estimators are introduced as improved alternatives. The paper elaborates on GMMs, percentile estimators, and new variants of both methods for estimating the parameters of the new distribution, supplemented by illustrative analyses of real data.

Abstract

Background
Digital phenotyping provides insights into an individual’s digital behaviors and has potential clinical utility.

Objective
In this observational study, we explored digital biomarkers collected from wrist-wearable devices and smartphones and their associations with clinical symptoms and functioning in patients with schizophrenia.

Methods
We recruited 100 outpatients with schizophrenia spectrum disorder, and we collected various digital data from commercially available wrist wearables and smartphones over a 6-month period. In this report, we analyzed the first week of digital data on heart rate, sleep, and physical activity from the wrist wearables and travel distance, sociability, touchscreen tapping speed, and screen time from the smartphones. We analyzed the relationships between these digital measures and patient baseline measurements of clinical symptoms assessed with the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale, Brief Negative Symptoms Scale, and Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia, as well as functioning as assessed with the Social and Occupational Functioning Assessment Scale. Linear regression was performed for each digital and clinical measure independently, with the digital measures being treated as predictors.

Results
Digital data were successfully collected from both the wearables and smartphones throughout the study, with 91% of the total possible data successfully collected from the wearables and 82% from the smartphones during the first week of the trial—the period under analysis in this report. Among the clinical outcomes, negative symptoms were associated with the greatest number of digital measures (10 of the 12 studied here), followed by overall measures of psychopathology symptoms, functioning, and positive symptoms, which were each associated with at least 3 digital measures. Cognition and cognitive/disorganization symptoms were each associated with 1 or 2 digital measures.

Conclusions
We found significant associations between nearly all digital measures and a wide range of symptoms and functioning in a community sample of individuals with schizophrenia. These findings provide insights into the digital behaviors of individuals with schizophrenia and highlight the potential of using commercially available wrist wearables and smartphones for passive monitoring in schizophrenia.

Indonesia has a high diversity of plant species, but the phenomenon of plant blindness is still often found among students, characterized by low awareness and mastery of the concept of biodiversity. This research aims to examine the effectiveness of the Flora Incognita application in increasing awareness of plants and the cognitive learning outcomes of high school students on biodiversity material. The research method used was pre-experimental with a one group pretest-posttest design. The research subjects were 10th grade students at one of the high schools in Cimahi City, West Java. The research results show that learning combined with technology in the form of the Flora Incognita application can improve students' cognitive learning outcomes with an N-Gain value of 0.5 in the medium category. Apart from that, this learning also increases awareness of plants with an N-Gain value of 0.3 in the medium category. Apart from that, no relationship was found between learning outcomes and plant awareness. This research concludes that the Flora Incognita application can be an innovative alternative to overcome the plant blindness phenomenon while increasing mastery of biodiversity material at the high school level.

Considerações Interseccionais na Prática da Comunicação Não-Violenta
Authors: Caroliny Oliveira Nicolau Giovanna , De Assis Pablo 
Published: February 2025

O presente artigo objetiva analisar a aplicação da técnica de Comunicação Não- Violenta (CNV) em contextos interseccionais, considerando questões de raça, classe e gênero. Para isso, o estudo se baseia em uma revisão de literatura com autores como Paulo Freire, bell hooks, Angela Davis e Aime Césaire. A análise aponta que a CNV pode ser limitada por questões sociais e culturais que afetam as relações interpessoais e, assim, apresentar-se como uma técnica que reforça a violência colonizadora. É necessário reconhecer as diferenças entre as pessoas e levar em conta suas experiências sociais para promover uma comunicação mais empática e inclusiva. O estudo inclui a importância da interseccionalidade na prática da comunicação; os desafios para aplicação da técnica em contextos interseccionais; e as possibilidades de transformação social por meio da comunicação descolonizada, que pode ser uma ferramenta importante para promover mudanças sociais significativas, desde que seja aplicada com sensibilidade às questões interseccionais.

A falta de condições adequadas nas prisões brasileiras atinge a dignidade humana de todas pessoas em privação de liberdade. No entanto, há determinados grupos que são violentados em maior grau, dentre eles, o das pessoas com útero. A fim de apresentar um diagnóstico da situação carcerária deste grupo, o presente artigo objetiva abordar criticamente o tratamento concedido a ele e apontar a necessidade de se pensar numa estrutura apropriada para receber e atender todas as pessoas. Para isso, partiremos da pesquisa bibliográfica a fim de resgatar e analisar os aspectos sociais, históricos e culturais do papel da pessoa com útero na sociedade, bem como, para analisar a estratégia de dupla punição pelo rompimento do ideal de mulher. Também se demonstrará, com caráter empíro e de forma quali-quantitativa, um levantamento de dados quantitativos sobre a quantidade de pessoas com útero nas prisões brasileiras e outros dados quantitativos relativos às suas singularidades coletados no Sistema de Informações do Departamento Penitenciário Nacional – SISDEPEN, constatando que a violência à qual são submetidas na sociedade são agravadas dentro do cárcere.

O encarceramento em massa tem impactado brutalmente as mulheres nos últimos 23 anos. Em escala mundial, isto representa um crescimento, nas prisões, de 59% desde 2000. Diante deste cenário, o presente trabalho configura-se como uma pesquisa documental, cujo objetivo geral é analisar, sob o referencial teórico da Criminologia Crítica, a 5ª Lista de Aprisionamento Mundial Feminino, publicada em 2022. Para tanto, pretende-se: a) problematizar os dados de encarceramento feminino em nível mundial; b) discutir especificamente a temática a partir do contexto latino-americano; c) refletir sobre o contexto brasileiro. Os resultados encontrados apontam que os números de meninas e mulheres nas prisões cresceram, totalizando mais de 740.000 presas mundialmente. Conclui-se que o aprisionamento de mulheres é um problema global, conforme evidenciado pela Lista de Aprisionamento Feminino, fato que justifica o adensamento de pesquisas e políticas públicas voltadas para o seu enfrentamento.

Published: February 2025

O gerenciamento de resíduos sólidos orgânicos é um tema de extrema relevância frente ao crescimento populacional, à industrialização e à urbanização em rápida ascensão. A disposição inadequada desses resíduos pode causar impactos ambientais como poluição do ar, solo e água, além de riscos para a saúde humana. Diante do exposto, a vermicompostagem consagra-se como uma opção sustentável e economicamente viável para solucionar este problema. Nesse contexto, o estudo objetivou investigar o cenário mundial do tratamento de resíduos sólidos orgânicos por vermicompostagem e os impactos ambientais ocasionados pela disposição inadequada desses resíduos em aterros sanitários. Para isso, foi realizada uma revisão sistemática da literatura, com busca de artigos no Portal de Periódicos CAPES e na base de dados PUBMED. Segundo os dados analisados, nota-se uma presença exorbitante de problemas quanto aos resíduos orgânicos, que em viés da sua composição química podem ser facilmente tratados a partir da ação das minhocas, como em casos de lodos industriais, ou até mesmo gerar biofertilizantes, um subproduto presente em 92,3% das pesquisas, reunindo ótimos resultados quanto à composição de macro e micronutrientes. Logo, os resultados obtidos demonstraram que a vermicompostagem consiste em uma maneira eficiente de manejar resíduos sólidos orgânicos, podendo ser aplicada para a produção de biofertilizante ou para tratamentos de estabilização desses resíduos a fim de reduzir seus potenciais nocivos. A presente revisão é fundamental para o incentivo da utilização da vermicompostagem como indicador de resposta ao despejo e tratamento incorreto dos resíduos orgânicos, consagrando-se como uma maneira de reutilizar e tratar esses resíduos sustentavelmente, atingindo resultados satisfatórios. Desse modo, a vermicompostagem consagra-se como uma forma promissora de mitigar a disposição incorreta de resíduos sólidos orgânicos e reduzir possíveis repercussões negativas ao meio ambiente.
Antiparasitic Activity of Parbendazole in Critical Tests in Horses
Authors: Lyons E. T. , Drudge J. H. , Tolliver S. C. 
Published: February 2025

SUMMARY
Critical tests were conducted in 11 naturally infected horses to evaluate the anthelmintic activity of parbendazole. Single doses at the rates of 30, 20, 10, 5, or 2.5 mg/kg of body weight were administered by stomach tube to 1, 4, 2, 2, and 2 horses, respectively.
Parbendazole was active against Parascaris equorum, Oxyuris equi, Strongylus vulgaris, Strongylus edentatus, and small strongyles throughout the range of doses. Generally, small numbers of P equorum were present, but apparently a dose rate higher than 2.5 mg/kg is necessary for complete clearance. Removal of O equi was virtually 100%, even at the 2.5 mg/kg dose rate, although mature forms were present in small numbers. Removal of S vulgaris and S edentatus was 98% to 100% at the largest and smallest dose rates and was somewhat inconsistent, especially of S edentatus, at most intermediate dose rates. Overall removal of small strongyles was good even at smallest dose rate.
Activity was limited or lacking against stomach parasites. Transient diarrhea was observed for 24 to 48 hours after treatment at each dose rate tested.

Authors: Kodama Y. , Ogata M. , Shimizu Y. 
Published: February 2025

SUMMARY
Immunoperoxidase antibody (ipa) test was developed for detecting antibody against transmissible gastroenteritis (tge) virus of pigs. The ipa antibody titers in sera collected in the field from 82 pigs were approximately seven times higher than those obtained in a serum-neutralization test. The correlation between the tge antibody concentrations in the ipa and serum neutralization tests was positive (r = + 0.74). The ipa test appears to have the potential for routine laboratory use for serologic diagnosis of tge.
Enzootic Bovine Leukosis: Prevalence of Blood Lymphocyte Nuclear Pockets in Dairy Bulls in the United States and Foreign Countries
Authors: Weber A. , Bingham C. , Pomeroy K. , Dias E. 
Published: February 2025

SUMMARY
Studies of the incidence of enzootic bovine leukosis-related blood lymphocyte nuclear pockets (lnp) were made of 743 dairy breed bulls in the United States and foreign countries. Statistical evaluation disclosed that the prevalence of these anomalous nuclear forms in the studs observed is significantly greater in the United States than in other countries. In particular, the average percentage of lnp-containing cells in each United States stud is estimated to be more than twice the level found in all but two non-United States studs studied and more than three times the level in the majority (10 of 19) of them. Moreover, United States studs exhibited a higher proportion of lnp-suspicious and -positive cases than almost all of the non-United States studs. We believe this is valid evidence that serves to reinforce the expressed need for a federal surveillance program for enzootic bovine leukosis in the United States.
Antibiotic Resistance and Genetic Properties of R Plasmids in Salmonella Isolates of Swine Origin in Japan
Authors: Ishiguro Naotaka , Makino Souichi , Sato Gihei , Hashimoto Kazunori 
Published: February 2025

SUMMARY
A total of 84 Salmonella isolates of ten serovars from swine in Japan were tested for antibiotic susceptibility and detection of R plasmids. Of these, 58 (69.0%) were resistant to one or more antibiotic(s) such as tetracycline, streptomycin, sulfadimethoxine, and chloramphenicol; and 38 (65.5%) of the 58 resistance isolates (mainly Salmonella typhimurium isolates) had conjugative R plasmids. Among the 38 conjugative R plasmids, 36 thermosensitive R plasmids carrying tetracycline resistance were Fi− (no fertility inhibition) and belonged to incompatibility group Hl, whereas the R plasmids carrying streptomycin and sulfadimethoxine resistances coexisted in the same host, were Fi+, and were also compatible with the reference R plasmids tested. The epidemiologic significance of R plasmids derived from Salmonella isolates from swine is discussed.
A Relationship Between Degree of Laxity and Synovial Fluid Volume in Coxofemoral Joints of Dogs Predisposed for Hip Dysplasia
Authors: Lust G. , Beilman W. T. , Rendano V. T. 
Published: February 2025

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
The nature of the abnormal laxity (instability) in coxofemoral joints of dogs with incipient hip dysplasia was investigated. The normal coxofemoral joint had a synovial fluid volume of about 0.21 ml and a ligamentum capitis femoris (ligament of head of femur) volume of 0.55 ml. These volumes were constant in joints of dogs from 15 weeks to 2 years of age; in dogs younger than 15 weeks, both volumes were smaller.
Mean volumes of the synovial fluid and the ligamentum capitis femoris for normal joints from dogs predisposed for hip dysplasia were 0.19 ± 0.06 ml and 0.58 ± 0.08 ml. For joints (dogs age- and weight-matched) in the early stages of the disease, but without radiographic evidence of subluxation of femoral heads, the respective volumes were 0.50 ± 0.12 ml and 0.72 ± 0.13 ml. In joints with radiographically detectable mild subluxation of femoral heads, these volumes were 0.57 ± 0.19 ml and 0.84 ± 0.12 ml, and in joints with moderate-severe subluxation, 1.37 ± 0.81 ml and 0.99 ± 0.21 ml.
Withdrawing various amounts of synovial fluid (0.2 to 2.1 ml) from excised, but intact, joints resulted in lessened joint laxity. Injection of silicone (2 ml) into excised joints resulted in an increased laxity. Withdrawal of synovial fluid from one severely subluxated joint in situ reduced the degree of subluxation.
Results suggested that in young dogs genetically predisposed for hip dysplasia, increased joint laxity and subluxation of femoral heads were related to increased volume of fluid and ligament in the coxofemoral joint.
