Highlights:

Arthroplasty surgeries were reduced significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The number of operations gradually increased between the first and second year of the pandemic.
Patients’ median age and hospital stays were reduced during the pandemic.

Abstract
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has had significant effects on arthroplasty surgeries worldwide. Various studies have described decreased arthroplasty procedures among the most common orthopedic surgeries. This study aimed to analyze the effects of the pandemic on the epidemiology and demography of hip and knee arthroplasty in a tertiary referral general hospital in Indonesia.
Methods: This was a retrospective study of medical records data conducted on hip and knee arthroplasty cases from the pre-pandemic (April 2019–March 2020), first-year pandemic (April 2020–March 2021), and second-year pandemic (April 2021–March 2022) periods. Each period was compared for epidemiology and demography data, which included the annual number of arthroplasties, female-to-male ratio, age, duration of hospitalization, and in-hospital post-operative rehabilitation participation.
Results: This study observed a statistically significant decrease of 232.00% for hip and 371.43% for knee arthroplasty performed during the first-year pandemic and an increase of 41.86% for hip and 74.07% for knee arthroplasty in the second-year pandemic. A decrease in median age and fluctuation of the female-to-male ratio were observed. The median duration of hospitalization was 80.00% shorter between the pre-pandemic and first-year pandemics and 11.11% shorter between the first and second-year pandemics. Participation in rehabilitation fluctuated during each period. There were four positive cases of COVID-19 and two cases of mortality during the first- and second-year pandemics.
Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic caused a significant reduction in arthroplasties performed during the first year and a slight increase during the second year. A decreased median age and shorter hospital stays were also observed.

Highlights:

Staphylococcus aureus, particularly MRSA, had developed rapid resistance against antibiotics like beta-lactams.
Red ginger is believed to be antibacterial against MSSA and MRSA in vitro.
Red ginger rhizome extracts displayed weak activity against MSSA and MRSA.

Abstract
Introduction: Red ginger (Zingiber officinale var. rubrum) is a traditional herb that is believed to possess antibacterial properties. Throughout the years, Staphylococcus aureus has developed resistance to a broad range of antibiotics, including beta-lactams, particularly in the form of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). As treatment options dwindle, it is urgent to formulate novel antibiotics. This study aimed to examine the antibacterial activity of the ginger rhizome ethanol extract against Methicillin-Sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) and MRSA.
Methods: This study was performed according to the post-test-only control group design. Through a good diffusion assay, the anti-MSSA and anti-MRSA activity of the red ginger extract concentrations (100%, 50%, 25%, 12.5%, and 6.25%) was observed by measuring the diameter of the clear inhibition zones. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and an antibiotic disc were added as control groups.
Results: The red ginger extracts produced inhibition zones on both MSSA and MRSA. However, the antibacterial activity was considered weak (<12 mm). The concentration of the extract appeared to linearly affect its antibacterial activity against MSSA and MRSA. On MSSA, the 12.5% extract results differed significantly from those of the 100% and 50% extracts. Meanwhile, on MRSA, the extracts seemed to yield significantly different outcomes when compared to each other, except for the comparisons between 50%-25% and 12.5%-6.25%.
Conclusion: Zingiber officinale var. rubrum rhizome extracts showed weak antibacterial activity against MSSA and MRSA.

Published: March 2024

<p>The emergence of culture currently being acknowledged in political science. It has played an important role in policy making to the development of a region or country. This paper will focus on how far culture, especially local values, has been interpreted in the decision-making process of foreign policy. Culture and its values and interpretation exists in formal organizations whose members develop a form of shared belief, shared values, and shared knowledge to interpret the reality. Indonesia is famous for its identity to remain neutral as one of the nation's foreign policy blueprint. The long-standing foreign policy of <em>mendayung antara dua karang</em> is challenged several times, especially during the shift of the unipolar through multipolar system in world order. This research will highlight the role of culture in foreign policy by interpreting local values, especially Javanese values conducted by President Joko Widodo’s cabinet in foreign policy approaches related to G20 chairmanship by Indonesia. By using constructivism approach in foreign policy and non-western approach in international relations, this research found that under President Jokowi’s administration there are attempts to re-interpreting Javanese values such as <em>rukun</em>, which emphasize on harmonious values in conducting foreign policy.</p>

Application of Machine Learning and Optimization of Oil Recovery and CO2 Sequestration in the Tight Oil Reservoir

Published: March 2024

Summary
In recent years, shale and tight reservoirs have become an essential source of hydrocarbon production since advanced multistage and horizontal drilling techniques were developed. Tight oil reservoirs contain huge oil reserves but suffer from low recovery factors. For tight oil reservoirs, CO2-water alternating gas (CO2-WAG) is one of the preferred tertiary methods to enhance the overall cumulative oil production while also sequestering significant amounts of injected CO2. However, the evaluation of CO2-WAG is strongly dependent on the injection parameters, which renders numerical simulations computationally expensive. In this study, a novel approach has been developed that utilized machine learning (ML)-assisted computational workflow in optimizing a CO2-WAG project for a low-permeability oil reservoir considering both hydrocarbon recovery and CO2 storage efficacies. To make the predictive model more robust, two distinct proxy models—multilayered neural network (MLNN) models coupled with particle swarm optimization (PSO) and genetic algorithms (GAs)—were trained and optimized to forecast the cumulative oil production and CO2 storage. Later, the optimized results from the two algorithms were compared. The optimized workflow was used to maximize the predefined objective function. For this purpose, a field-scaled numerical simulation model of the Changqing Huang 3 tight oil reservoir was constructed. By December 2060, the base case predicts a cumulative oil production of 0.368 million barrels (MMbbl) of oil, while the MLNN-PSO and MLNN-GA forecast 0.389 MMbbl and 0.385 MMbbl, respectively. As compared with the base case (USD 150.5 million), MLNN-PSO and MLNN-GA predicted a further increase in the oil recovery factor by USD 159.2 million and USD 157.6 million, respectively. In addition, the base case predicts a CO2 storage amount of 1.09×105 tons, whereas the estimates from MLNN-PSO and MLNN-GA are 1.26×105 tons and 1.21×105 tons, respectively. Compared with the base case, CO2 storage for the MLNN-PSO and MLNN-GA increased by 15.5% and 11%, respectively. In terms of the performance analysis of the two algorithms, both showed remarkable performance. PSO-developed proxies were 16 times faster and GA proxies were 10 times faster as compared with the reservoir simulation in finding the optimal solution. The developed optimization workflow is extremely efficient and computationally robust. The experiences and lessons will provide valuable insights into the decision-making process and in optimizing the Changqing Huang 3 low-permeability oil reservoir.
Is tuna ecolabeling causing fishers more harm than good?
Authors: Nakamura Katrina 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Nearly 70,000 fishing crew are currently at sea catching the ecolabeled tuna in your sandwich or sushi. High Seas tuna fishing is remote and dangerous so this research asked how protections against fishing labour violations are represented in tuna ecolabeling data. Half of the world’s tuna supply is represented by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) which says that choosing certified tuna is the best way for tuna buyers to significantly reduce exposure to the risks of forced labour in fishing. Data were collected from https://fisheries.msc.org for 3313 tuna vessels and content analysis showed that 74% of ecolabeled tuna was untraceable to vessel owners (fishing employers). Few of the certificate-holders providing self-declarations about fishing labour were fishing employers (about 4%). Seventeen dismissed even the potential for labour violations for 53% of tuna fishers (37,061) without details of proof or prevention. Overall, the information found on the MSC website did not make vessel employment practices transparent for certified tuna products. MSC clients include a company associated to US tuna ban for forced labour whose self-declaration states “no evidence of forced labour”. Tuna fishers have reported forced labour on several vessels in the program since 2019. Serious omissions in the program’s information system could propagate harmful consequences for fishers. One-Sentence Summary: Data from the Marine Stewardship Council reveal that tuna ecolabeling does not effectively protect fishers from fishing labour violations.
Capillary effect based selective sealing strategy for boosting the piezoelectric MEMS speaker performance
Authors: Yu Hongbin , Wang Yan , Lv Tunan , Zhang Junning 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
To address the serious acoustic performance deterioration induced by the air leakage and the asynchronous vibration in the electro-acoustic transduction structures, a novel sealing strategy is proposed targeting to one of the most widely reported piezoelectric MEMS speaker designs that consists of multi cantilever beams, in which an automatic and selective filling of the liquid polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to the air gaps between cantilevers under the capillary effect followed by curing is developed. In the proof-of-concept demonstration, an obvious enhancement in sound pressure level (SPL) within frequency range lower than 100 Hz after sealing is experimentally demonstrated, in which the SPL is increased by 4.9 dB at 20 Hz. At the same time, the deteriorated SPL response near the resonant frequencies of the cantilever beams (17 kHz-17.5 kHz) caused by their asynchronous vibration that is induced by the fabrication process non-uniformity is also significantly improved and a boosted SPL of around 15 dB is successfully achieved. Moreover, nearly the same SPL response as the initial counterpart in the frequency band from 100 Hz to 16 kHz and even smaller total harmonic distortion (THD) of 0.728% at 1 kHz under 40 Vpp driving voltage can be obtained in the sealed devices. In comparison to the existing sealing methods, the current approach offers easy operation, low damage risk, excellent repeatability/reliability and excellent robustness advantages, and provides a promising technical solution for the MEMS acoustic devices.
Unsupervised Graph Deep Learning Reveals Emergent Flood Risk Profile of Urban Areas
Authors: Mostafavi Ali , kai kai 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Urban flood risk emerges from complex and nonlinear interactions among multiple features related to flood hazard, flood exposure, and social and physical vulnerabilities, along with the complex spatial flood dependence relationships. Existing approaches for characterizing urban flood risk, however, are primarily based on flood plain maps, focusing on a limited number of features, primarily hazard and exposure features, without consideration of feature interactions or the dependence relationships among spatial areas. To address this gap, this study presents an
integrated urban flood-risk rating model based on a novel unsupervised graph deep learning model (called FloodRisk-Net). FloodRisk-Net is capable of capturing spatial dependence among
areas and complex and nonlinear interactions among flood hazards and urban features for specifying emergent flood risk. Using data from multiple metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) in the United States, the model characterizes their flood risk into six distinct city-specific levels. The model is interpretable and enables feature analysis of areas within each flood-risk level,
allowing for the identification of the three archetypes shaping the highest flood risk within each MSA. Flood risk is found to be spatially distributed in a hierarchical structure within each MSA, where the core city disproportionately bears the highest flood risk. Multiple cities are found to have high overall flood-risk levels and low spatial inequality, indicating limited options for balancing urban development and flood-risk reduction. Relevant flood-risk reduction strategies are discussed considering ways that the highest flood risk and uneven spatial distribution of flood risk are formed. The model enables characterizing urban flood risk as an emergent property arising from non-linear interactions among flood hazard and urban features, and integration of spatial flood dependence relationships among areas. Accordingly, this study’s outcomes provide a novel perspective and better understanding of urban flood-risk profiles by harnessing machine intelligence and urban big data.
Advantages of metagenomic next-generation sequencing in the management of ANCA-associated vasculitis patients with pulmonary infections as a rule-out tool

Published: March 2024

Abstract

Objective: Pulmonary infection is one of the leading causes of death in patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV). It is sometimes difficult to differentiate pulmonary infection from pulmonary involvement of vasculitis in AAV patients. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) assays are useful diagnostic methods. In addition to conventional microbiological tests (CMTs), metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) facilitates rapid and sensitive detection of various pathogens. The current study aimed to evaluate the advantages of additional BALF mNGS in the management of pulmonary infection in AAV patients.
Methods: 27 patients with active AAV and suspected pulmonaryinfection whose BALF samples were tested by mNGS and CMTs and 17 active AAV patients whose BALF were tested by CMTs alone were retrospectively recruited. The results of microbiological tests and adjustments of treatment upon BALF mNGS were described. The durations of antimicrobial treatment and in-hospital mortality in patients were compared.
Results: Among the 27 patients whose BALF samples were tested by mNGS, 25.9% of patients did not have any evidence of pathogenic microorganism in their BALF samples, and 55.6% of patients had polymicrobial infections, including bacteria, fungi and virus, while 40.7% of patients did not have any evidence of pathogenic microorganism in their BALF and serum samples according to CMTs tests. Patients in the BALF mNGS group received significantly shorter duration of antibacterial and total antimicrobial treatment than patients in the CMT alone group (17.3±14.7 vs. 27.9±19.0 days, P=0.044; 18.9±15.0 vs. 29.5±17.7 days, P=0.040, respectively). Patients in the BALF mNGS group had significantly lower in-hospital mortality than patients in the CMT alone group (4/27 vs. 7/17, P=0.049).
Conclusion: Compared with CMT alone, additional mNGS tests may shorten the duration of antimicrobial treatment and decrease death from severe infection by providing precise and quick diagnosis of infection.
An Assessment of the Implications of Deforestation and Climate Change on Rural Livelihood in Ghana: A Multidimensional Analysis and Solution-Based Approach

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Ghana is endowed with an abundance of natural resources, including vast tracts of natural forest and other vegetation biomes, which serve as livelihood sustenance for a significant number of the population. However, managing these resources sustainably to achieve environmental and economic growth and alleviating poverty remains a significant challenge. Deforestation driven by agriculture, lumbering, mining, infrastructural development, and urban expansion has reduced the forest ecosystems by over 60% over the past three decades. This has threatened the sustainable livelihoods to most of the population, exacerbated by increasing climate irregularity and its devastating consequences. Using data collected through methods inspired by the tradition of quantitative and qualitative research approaches, this paper explores and discusses how the combination of climate change and deforestation, are compromising the livelihood options of poor and vulnerable communities in Ghana. We further argue that the poor are not passive actors but are actively involved in identifying systems and processes through which to build their adaptive capacity and resilience to climate change induced environmental changes. Despite this, we argue that the ability of the poor and vulnerable communities to adapt comprehensively to climate change induced challenges is being hampered by institutional and policy weaknesses as well as a lack of meaningful engagement and collaboration between different and interested stakeholders. In view of this, we argue for an evidence-based and inclusive approaches which will propagate the participation of marginalised and vulnerable groups of people in the design and co-production of solutions in order to develop policies and strategies that are more transformative and towards achieving sustainable communities. These themes have been argued within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly goal number 8.
