Authors: Zahir Baiq Halvera Metrimagista , Nurcahyo Rahmat , Farizal  , Wibowo Alan Dwi 
Published: February 2024

Background: The growing issues about waste management and climate change compel the exploration and implementation of sustainable energy solutions derived from waste. In this context, Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF), a processed solid fuel generated from municipal solid waste (MSW), presents itself as a promising strategy. By offering an alternative to conventional fossil fuels, RDF can mitigate the environmental impact of MSW and potentially reduce greenhouse gas emissions. RDF can provide cleaner energy for a more sustainable future.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the RDF site's economic condition, revenue generation, costs, and the net benefit from RDF production in RDF Plant-based landfills in Indonesia.

Method: In addition, cost–benefit analysis (CBA) was carried out to study the economic factors.
Result: According to cost-benefit analysis, benefits are higher than production costs. The net benefit gained in this study is IDR 33.035.853.659, with each ton of RDF offering IDR 1.242.977 in benefits. The study revealed that revenue per ton RDF is about IDR 414.000, with a production cost RDF of 342.388 per ton.

Conclusion: The study concludes that utilizing all generated waste into RDF presents a financially beneficial strategy for municipalities and consumers (cement kilns). Findings indicate the potential for RDF implementation to yield cost savings and land savings.

Published: February 2024

Exothermic Arrhenius-controlled chemical reactions are widely employed for heating applications, such as combustion in heating systems and fuel-burning motors. These effects are critical for manufacturing high thermal systems required for high thermal performances. Therefore, this paper presents the analytical investigation into the Arrhenius-controlled heat-generating/absorbing fluid of a hydromagnetic flow along a heated upstanding plate in a microchannel. One wall had a superhydrophobic surface and temperature jump conditions, but the other was unaltered. The regular perturbation approach investigated the nonlinear, coupled governing equations. With the help of graphical plots, the impacts of crucial and relevant parameters embedded in the flow are described. This investigation concludes that chemically reacting parameters' impact significantly elevates the micro-channel's thermal and hydromagnetic flow. However, applying the heat generation parameter increases fluid velocity, whereas the heat absorption parameter produces the contrary effect. The outcomes of this study can be relevant to the field of biomedical sciences and devices for improving heat transfer efficiency, chemical synthesis, enhancing the performances of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) and mini-devices, heating and energy generation, designing efficient energy conversion processes, and so on.

Doum palm fruit is one of the underutilized fruits and is mainly used by the local people without knowing the nutritional value and the pharmacological components associated with the fruit parts. Thus, this research was designed to evaluate the proximate composition, antioxidant activity and phytochemical content of doum palm fruit. The fruit sample was obtained from the farm and market and was portioned into six; the epicarp, mesocarp, epicarp and mesocarp blend obtained from the farm and market were all converted into flour. Proximate analysis was done using the standard method, antioxidant activity using 2, 2-diphenyl-1-pierylhyrazyl DPPH method after water and solvent (ethanol) extraction of the samples at different concentrations: 50 %, 60 %, 70 % and 100 % ethanol and 100 % water, which were used for the six different flours for each that makes it up to 30 samples. While phytochemicals were identified using LC-MS. Results showed that samples collected from the farm had higher proximate composition than the ones obtained from the market. Samples from the farm showed higher antioxidant activity at 595.30 and 62.59 mgGAE/g for total phenolic and flavonoid contents, respectively; 0.078 and 2008.9 IC50 (µg/ml) for the DPPH and Reducing power showed by the Samples from the farm. The phytochemical constituents showed that samples from the farm have more bioactive compounds than those obtained from the market. Compounds such as Phytoene, Liriodenine Xanthophylls e.t.c were detected. Thus, the findings proved the presence of a considerable amount of nutraceutical and phytochemical constituents in the dry doum palm fruit. Therefore, it can be further studied to look for ways to benefit from its rich potential in managing various ailments.

Oral leukoplakia: an update for dental practitioners
Authors: Maloney Dr Brian , Galvin Dr. Sheila , Healy Professor Claire 
Published: February 2024

Statement of the problem Oral leukoplakia (OLK) is a common mucosal pathology frequently encountered in general dental practice which belongs to a group of conditions known as oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs). This inferred risk of progression to oral squamous cell carcinoma warrants an understanding of the etiology of this condition, its clinical presentation, and how patients diagnosed with OLK are managed in both general and specialist care practices. Purpose of the review To update the dental practitioner on the current understanding concerning the diagnosis and management of OLK. Methods A search strategy was conducted in the MEDLINE Ovid and Embasse databases and the Cochrane Library. No time limit was applied. The search results were limited to those in the English language. Discussion The etiology for oral white patches can range considerably from innocuous frictional keratosis to oral squamous cell carcinoma. A thorough history and clinical examination should precede referrals to secondary care, with the elimination of risk factors a priority. In cases where white patches are suspicious or remain despite managing known risk factors, prompt referral to a specialist centre is warranted. Despite the extent of research in this field, controversy remains in OLK management and there is currently no agreed international consensus on the management of OLK from governing bodies. Therefore, management is primarily governed by local contemporaneous guidelines, and management is based on the most reliable predictor of malignant transformation: the grade of dysplasia. Despite various treatments, OLK may still undergo transformation to malignancy. Conclusions General dental practitioners (GDPs) are the health care practitioners best placed to detect OLK on a daily basis, given the volume of patients encountered from various backgrounds. An understanding of the causes and presentation of OLK will allow GDPs to recognise this entity in practice, and facilitate further management and treatment in a bid to prevent transformation.

Published: February 2024

The increasing needs to optimise the cost of operation for the oil and gas industry has put more significant demand for Engineers to seek innovative technology and enhanced process design application to save energy. One of the key areas to improve energy efficiency is combustion equipment which consumes a significant amount of fuel gas. The conventional method of air-fuel ratio control using excess oxygen at the exhaust stack is the most common mean of combustion control. This method is effective if the fuel gas composition is stable with minimum fluctuation in Gross heating value. In practice, most modern refineries, gas processing plants, and petrochemical plants have multiple fuel gas sources from flash gas or residue off-gas generated by the intermediate process. The composition can vary widely, making it challenging for conventional air-fuel ratio control via access oxygen. A sudden change of the fuel gas composition can potentially result in unpredictability combustion, leading to equipment inefficiency and the possibility of causing damage to the equipment & product quality, thus leading to economic loss.
Wobbe index analyser can determine the exact heating value of fuel gas used for combustion and thus eliminate unstable fuel gas composition issues. The Wobbe index analyser provides compensated value to fuel gas control system to enhance the air-fuel ratio control, leading to more efficient energy management of combustion control equipment.

Authors: ÇAKMAK Hatice Mine , ÖZEL Mehmet Ali 
Published: February 2024

Aim:
Lymphadenopathies occupy an important part of pediatric hematology-oncology practice. More than 95 per cent of cases are known to be reactive, and infection-related. Lymphadenopathies are followed up at 1-3-6 month intervals, and the process requires ultrasound follow-up. Our study aimed to compare the persistent and non-persistent cases.
Results: In our study, lymphadenopathy cases (n=93) admitted to our pediatric haematology-oncology outpatient clinic between 2022-2023 were examined and diagnosed; reactive lymph nodes (n=76)(81. 7%), infectious mononucleosis (n=9)(9. 7%), tuberculosis (n=1)(1%), lymphoma (n=2)(2%), benign cytology (n=2)(2%). Mean age ± standard deviation (SD); 8. 2±4. 4, number of girls; 42 (45. 2%). The median time to resolution of acute (n=8)(8. 6%), subacute (n=26)(28%), chronic (n=59)(63. 4%) lymphadenopathy was 1 [5-155] week. Cases with and without ultrasonographic disappearance of lymphadenopathy were compared; the mean hemoglobin value (g/dL) (12. 7±1. 4 vs. 12. 3±1. 2, respectively) (p=0. 047) and platelet value (x10³/mm³) (334. 2±108. 012 vs. 288. 4±89. 5, respectively) (p=0. 047) were higher and the presence of hilar vascularity on ultrasonography (76% vs. 98. 1%) (p=0. 001) was LOWER in those who disappeared compared to those who did not disappear. There was no correlation between hypoechoic lymph node, indistinct border, necrosis, fatty hilus, perinodal cortical vascularity, cortical thickening, presence of lymph node in more than one region and non-loss of lymph node.
Conclusion: In conclusion, it has been shown that in the presence of lymphadenopathy, elevated hemoglobin and platelets, together with the presence of hilar vascularity, may be predictive findings in the failure of the lymph node to disappear.

Exploratory study to characterise the individual types of health literacy and beliefs and their associations with infection prevention behaviours amid the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan: a longitudinal study
Authors: Yagihashi Mao , Murakami Michio , Kato Mai , Yamamura Asayo , Miura Asako , Hirai Kei 
Published: February 2024

Background
During a global infectious disease pandemic such as the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), individuals’ infection prevention/risk-taking behaviours are likely to differ depending on their health literacy and beliefs regarding the disease. To effectively promote infection prevention behaviours, it is necessary to enable information dissemination and risk communication that consider individuals’ health literacy and beliefs. In this study, we exploratorily characterised segments based on individual health literacy and beliefs regarding COVID-19 among the Japanese during the early stage of the COVID-19 pandemic, and investigated whether infection prevention/risk-taking behaviours and fear of COVID-19 differed among these segments.

Methods
In this study, we conducted two web-based longitudinal surveys in Japan (PHASE 1, 1–30 November 2020, 6,000 participants; PHASE 2, 1–31 December 2020, 3,800 participants). We characterised segments of the target population using cluster analysis on health literacy and beliefs regarding COVID-19 obtained in PHASE 1. We further investigated the associations between the clusters and infection prevention/risk-taking behaviours and fear of COVID-19, obtained from PHASE 2.

Results
Five clusters were identified: ‘Calm/hoax denial’, ‘Hoax affinity/threat denial’, ‘Minority/indifference’, ‘Over vigilance’, and ‘Optimism’. There were significant differences in infection prevention/risk-taking behaviours and fear of COVID-19 among the five clusters. The belief in susceptibility to infection, rather than affinity for hoaxes and conspiracy theories, was coherently associated with infection prevention/risk-taking behaviours and fear of infection across clusters. This study provides foundational knowledge for creating segment-specific public messages and developing interactive risk communication to encourage infection prevention behaviours.
A misconstrued alien: the freshwater turtle Emydura macquarii in the Greater Sydney region
Authors: Chessman Bruce C. 
Published: February 2024

ABSTRACT
Many freshwater turtle species have spread beyond their natural distributions through human agency, but introduced populations can be difficult to differentiate from natural ones. The occurrence of an Australian freshwater turtle, Emydura macquarii, in the Greater Sydney region, Australia's most populous urban and peri-urban area, has alternatively been assumed to be natural or deduced to be due to anthropogenic introduction. I apply multiple lines of evidence to show that the occurrence of E. macquarii in the Sydney region is not natural and that the species has proliferated and spread there much more than the notoriously invasive red-eared slider turtle, Trachemys scripta elegans. The E. macquarii population of the Sydney region is highly diverse morphologically, with individuals variously resembling E. macquarii from Queensland, the north coast of New South Wales, and the Murray–Darling Basin. Better understanding is needed of the population genetics of E. macquarii in the Sydney region, the interactions among the region's native and introduced turtles, and the impacts of E. macquarii on biota other than turtles.
The Art of SPM: Scanning Probe Microscopy in Materials Science
Authors: Loos J. 
Published: July 2005

AbstractIn this Progress Report, outstanding scientific applications of scanning probe microscopy (SPM) in the field of materials science and the latest technique developments are introduced and discussed. Besides being able to image the organization of matter with sub‐nanometer resolution, SPM, owing to its basic operating principle, provides the power to measure, analyze, and even quantify properties of matter on the nanometer length scale. Moreover, because of its unique potential to manipulate the organization of atoms, molecules, assemblies, or particles and to structure surfaces in a controlled fashion, in the fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology SPM has become one of the most powerful tools for preparation and analysis of nanostructures and their functionality. Because of the tremendous variety of its applications, only selected—but subjectively exceptional—topics are considered in this Progress Report, showing the full potential of SPM.
Cover Picture: Long, Monomolecular Guanine‐Based Nanowires (Adv. Mater. 15/2005)
Authors: Kotlyar A. B. , Borovok N. , Molotsky T. , Cohen H. , Shapir E. , Porath D. 
Published: July 2005

AbstractThe cover picture is an artistic view, designed by Noam Hamou, of a G‐wire, probably a G4‐DNA nanowire, where the schematic spiral and tetrad are emerging from a single molecule deposited on a mica surface, as imaged by AFM. Kotlyar and co‐workers report on p. 1901 on the development of novel long monomolecular G‐wires that, upon self‐folding, form structures of consecutive guanine tetrads with and without metal ions in the inner channel of the molecule. The continuity of the molecule backbone and its improved stiffness suggest that this single DNA‐based structure might be useful for nanoelectronic applications.
