Realizing a green economy in Indonesia can be achieved through environmentally friendly consumption starting with the younger generation. Students as part of consumers need to apply environmentally friendly consumption patterns as a contribution to the national green economy. This study seeks to analyze how the variables of insight into food and beverages, attitudes towards environmentally friendly consumption behavior, the tendency of environmentally friendly consumption behavior, IT technical and operational skills, IT navigation and processing skills, and IT communication skills influence each other. The further objective of this research is that students are expected to be able to realize green economic awareness with environmentally friendly consumption behavior. In this study, using descriptive quantitative methods with the SEM-PLS method analyzed using primary data of 300 active students at four state universities in Malang City by distributing online questionnaires through G-Form. The results showed that the food and beverage insight variable had an effect on IT ordering ability, the environmentally friendly consumption behavior tendency variable had an effect on IT navigation and process skills through the mediating variable of food and beverage insight, the navigation ability variable had a direct effect on the attitude of environmentally friendly consumption behavior, and the IT technical and operational ability variable had a direct effect on the environmentally friendly consumption behavior tendency and IT communication skills. Implicatively, the research results link the two major variables of IT capability and green consumption behavior. However, if spread out, both IT capabilities and student behavior in implementing environmentally friendly consumption are mutually sustainable to achieve a green economy.

Objective: To find out the harmlessness and effectiveness of intra-cameral tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) in trabeculectomy for patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). Study Design: Quasi-experimental Trial. Setting: Eye B Department, of Khyber Teaching Hospital, Peshawar. Period: Jan. 2021 and Dec. 2021. Material & Methods: Patients with POAG, who were operated for trabeculectomy (trab.) Two groups were created out of study population i.e. Trab-MMC (Trab. With MMC done) and Trab-MMC/t-PA (Trab. With MMC + intra-cameral t-PA done). Success was defined as eyes having pressure (IOP) within the range of 8-20mmHg with at-least 25% reduction from pre-op IOP achieved with or without IOP lowering drugs. Results: Out of 20 participants (08 women and 12 men) 10 were allocated to each gp. Pre-op IOP was 28 ± 4.6 mmHg and 27 ± 4.8 mmHg, which dropped to 12.6 ± 3.8 mmHg and 11.1 ± 1.6 mmHg at 1st yr. post-op (p < 0.05) for both gps respectively. Surgical success was attained in 66% of Trab-MMC as compared to 86 % Trab-MMC/t-PA at 1st yr. (p = 0.44). Success with medication was 86 % compared to 100 % at 1st yr. respectively (p = 0.28). We didn’t observe any adverse effects with the use of intra-cameral t-PA. Conclusion: Adjunctive use of intra-cameral t-PA in trabeculectomy with MMC can result in improved outcome as compared to procedure without it. No side effects were noted with intra-cameral use of t-PA.

Published: February 2024

Environmental DNA (eDNA) has become a rapidly emerging technology during the last decade. Although eDNA applications are used worldwide, none of the eDNA metabarcoding studies have been conducted solely in Sri Lanka yet. Detection rate of species through DNA metabarcoding technique varies with the availability of gene sequences in reference databases. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to assess the data gaps of local species in two selected reference databases (the NCBI database and the BOLD database). Local freshwater vertebrates were considered for this analysis by dividing them into three major categories as freshwater fish (97 species), freshwater amphibians (40 species) and freshwater reptiles (7 species). The availability of COI gene sequence and CytB gene sequence of each species were recorded. In the NCBI database, reference gene sequences were available only for 17.53% (17 species) of freshwater fish, 7.50% (3 species) of freshwater amphibians and 14.29% (1 species) of freshwater reptiles. In the BOLD database, reference gene sequences were available for 52.58% (51 species) of freshwater fish, 17.50% (7 species) of freshwater amphibians and 42.86% (3 species) of freshwater reptiles. Endemic species were analyzed separately. This revealed the availability of reference gene sequences for 4.92% (3 species) of endemic freshwater fish in the NCBI database. However, none of the reference gene sequence was found for endemic freshwater amphibians and reptiles. In the BOLD database, reference gene sequences were available for 36.07% (22 species) of endemic freshwater fish and 33.33% (1 species) of endemic freshwater reptiles but none for endemic freshwater amphibians. According to the results, large gaps of publicly available reference CO1 gene sequences were observed in both NCBI and BOLD databases. Not only the availability of reference gene sequences, but also the submitted countries of those sequences were also analyzed as a part of this study. Asia has contributed the most according to the country-vice analysis. Among them, many are in the South Asian region. Therefore, this study highlights the need of expanding reference databases for greater local representation as well as the importance of forging collaborations with the developed countries in the same region in order to increase international cooperation and funding to carry on further studies on neglected taxa and under‐represented taxa in Sri Lanka.

Kirala Kele sanctuary is a wetland ecosystem that is one of the most valuable conservation areas in the Matara. Odonates represent an important role as an indicator species of wetlands and therefore, a study was conducted to explore and investigate the diversity of Odonata species that inhabit Kirala Kele and identify its use as an indicator of environmental management in the area. The study was conducted in selected four different transects (200 m each) which focused on the micro- habitats, and anthropogenic activities. Individuals belonging to different species of dragonflies and damselflies were counted by visual observations and photographs were taken to identify using standard guidebooks. Data collection was carried out from April 2022 to September 2022 once a month from 8.00 am to 10.00 am and 3.00 pm to 5.00 pm. The results showed that there were 27 species of Odonata from 3 different families. Pied Parasol (Neurothemis tullia tullia) and Variegated Flutterer (Rhyothemis variegata variegate) are identified as the most abundant species in the study area. One species namely, Sri Lanka Orange-faced Sprite (Pseudagrion rubriceps ceylonicum) has been recorded as endemic. Species diversity measured within study sites using Shannon wiener index (H‘) and Simpson index (D) indicated that transect A (marshland) H‘-2.08, D-0.82, transect B (paddy fields) H‘-2.08, D-0.82, transect C (canal and cultivation area) H‘-1.25, D-0.48 and transect D (open water and marshland) H‘-1.65, D-0.69, respectively. Based on the study, the overall Shannon wiener index in the study area was 1.95 while Simpson Index (D) was 0.75, which concludes the sanctuary has a considerable diversity of Odonata. The number of dragonfly species and abundance is remarkably higher in transects along the canal, in presence of emergent aquatic reeds and surrounded by paddy fields. Along the transects which are mostly affected by anthropogenic activities such as vegetation clearing and pollution or less anthropogenic activities, but low water levels had a small diversity. The results reveal that the diversity of species depends on several factors like the presence or absence of aquatic habitats, level of human disturbances, presence of emergent aquatic reeds, and degree of pollution. Thus, understanding the diversity and distribution of Odonata in the sanctuary can provide important insight into effective ways to manage the environment, which is often overlooked in biodiversity conservation strategies.

Potassium Ions Release from Mica by Organic Acids Present in Potassium Solubilizing Bacteria
Authors: Kaushalya R.M.M.T.  , Ratnatilleke A.A.L.  
Published: February 2024

Plants require a variety of life-building ingredients to grow properly and optimally. Plants that lack essential nutrients are unable to reach their full potential, have lesser yields, and are more susceptible to diseases. The primary macronutrients are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K), which are the three most critical nutrients without which plants wouldn‘t survive. Fertilizers must be added to K-depleted soil to produce a feasible soil environment for plant growth. Chemical K fertilizers are costly and cause soil pollution. Bio-fertilizers gaining popularity because of their low harmful effects. In Sri Lanka, new ways of producing Bio K-fertilizer are convenient in the field of agriculture. Phlogopite mica is a natural mineral that contains K as a major component (7.22% of mass as K2O) that can be used as the source of Bio-K fertilizer production. In this research, the solubilization of phlogopite mica (sample was obtained from Matale district, Sri Lanka) by major types of organic acids which are mainly released from bacteria was determined. In this study special attention was paid to the following main factors: Type of organic acids (Citric, Oxalic, Succinic and Tartaric acid), Acid concentrations (0.01 M, 0.02 M, 0.03 M, 0.04 M, and 0.05 M), Effect of ground mica particle sizes (0.300 mm-0.150 mm and <0.150 mm), the effect of time on solubilization in three shaking time intervals (1 hour, 2.5 hours, 4 hours) the indicated solubilization patterns and pH changes were observed. The current findings show that Citric acid is the most efficient K solubilizer because at 0.04 M, citric releases the 17.00 mg/L of K whereas the lowest value of released K 2.33 mg/L was observed for oxalic acid which is determined by Flame Photometer using 50.00 mg/L of standard K+ solution. Therefore, Citric acid has a significant potential for the solubilization of K in mica. When particle size increases, the rate of solubilization appears to decrease with each acid. Also, when shaking time was increased the amount of soluble K released has been increased. Future studies of this research will be extended to find and isolation of citric acid-releasing bacteria for solubilizing mica to produce K Biofertilizer to improve soil fertility thereby increasing the crop yield in Sri Lanka.

Safety study of a roundabout
Authors: Khitrov Ihor 
Published: February 2024

Roads ensure continuous, safe and convenient movement of vehicles. Intersections play a critical role in the road network in terms of capacity, service level and safety. They are designed in different sizes for different purposes and conditions and have their own defining characteristics that can affect their safety and ease of use.
Particular attention is paid to roundabouts - where traffic slows down and becomes a one-way flow around a central island. Additional entrance and roundabout lanes improve transportation efficiency, but they also have an impact on safety. The safety disadvantage can be due to inappropriate driver behavior when approaching, circling, and exiting the intersection, as well as weaving maneuvers within the roundabout.
The concept of turbo-roundabouts has emerged as a possible alternative to conventional multi-lane intersections, but the analysis of studies does not allow us to draw definitive conclusions about their effectiveness and safety, so it is recommended that such studies be conducted for specific road conditions.
The paper proposes a design of a turbo-roundabouts to improve safety without reducing its efficiency at the intersection of international highways (European route E40 «Kyiv–Chop» and E85 «Domanove-Kovel-Chernivtsi-Terebleche») near the city of Dubno, where traffic accidents regularly occur.
Among the different types of turbo-roundabouts, the basic turbo-roundabouts with a maximum capacity of up to 2,500 vehicles per hour and the largest traffic flow is taken as a basis.
All geometric parameters correspond to the average size of a turbo intersection, take into account the overall dimensions of the truck, the speed of traffic and are built in accordance with the recommendations of regulatory documents of European countries specializing in their design.
The designed turbo intersection with circular traffic has the best comparative option and will reduce the overall accident rate by 36 % and the number of injured people by 34 %.
On a class of elliptic equations with critical perturbations in the hyperbolic space

Published: February 2024

We study the existence and non-existence of positive solutions for the following class of nonlinear elliptic problems in the hyperbolic space − Δ B N u − λ u = a ( x ) u p − 1 + ε u 2 ∗ − 1 in B N , u ∈ H 1 ( B N ) , where B N denotes the hyperbolic space, 2 < p < 2 ∗ : = 2 N N − 2 , if N ⩾ 3 ; 2 < p < + ∞, if N = 2, λ < ( N − 1 ) 2 4 , and 0 < a ∈ L ∞ ( B N ). We first prove the existence of a positive radially symmetric ground-state solution for a ( x ) ≡ 1. Next, we prove that for a ( x ) ⩾ 1, there exists a ground-state solution for ε small. For proof, we employ “conformal change of metric” which allows us to transform the original equation into a singular equation in a ball in R N . Then by carefully analysing the energy level using blow-up arguments, we prove the existence of a ground-state solution. Finally, the case a ( x ) ⩽ 1 is considered where we first show that there is no ground-state solution, and prove the existence of a bound-state solution (high energy solution) for ε small. We employ variational arguments in the spirit of Bahri–Li to prove the existence of high energy-bound-state solutions in the hyperbolic space.

Background: Pharmacological treatments for ischemic stroke remain limited to thrombolysis, which is associated with increased risk of potentially fatal hemorrhage. Treatments with Recombinant Human Fibroblast Growth Factor 18 (rhFGF18) and Growth and Differentiation Factor 11 (rhGDF11) appear promising based on different preclinical models. The goal of this study was to compare the effects of rhFGF18 and rhGDF11 directly on survival, behavioral deficits, and histological fingerprint of cerebral ischemia in the Wistar rat middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model of stroke. Methods: Ischemia-reperfusion injury was induced using a 2-hour transient MCAO. Animals were administered rhFGF18 (infusion), rhGDF11 (multi-injection), or Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS) vehicle control and followed for 42 days. Motor-Cognitive deficits were evaluated using the Morris Water Maze at Days 0 (pre-MCAO), 7, 21, and 42. Histopathological assessments were performed on Days 21 and 42. Results: Day 7 post-ischemia water maze performance times increased 38.3%, 2.1%, and 23.1% for PBS, rhFGF18, and rhGDF11-treated groups, respectively. Fraction of neurons with abnormal morphology (chromatolysis, pyknotic nuclei, somal degeneration) decreased in all groups toward Day 42 and was lowest for rhFGF18. AChE-positive fiber density and activity increased over time in the rhFGF18 group, remained unchanged in the rhGDF11 treatment arm, and declined in the PBS control. Metabolic increases were greatest in rhGDF11 treated animals, with both rhFGF18 and rhGDF11 achieving improvements over PBS, as evidenced by increased succinate dehydrogenase and lactate dehydrogenase activity. Finally, rhFGF18 treatment exhibited a trend for reduced mortality relative to PBS (5.6%, 95% CI [27.3%, 0.1%] vs. 22.2%, 95% CI [47.6%, 6.4%]). Conclusions: rhFGF18 treatment appears promising in improving survival and promoting motor-cognitive recovery following cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.
