Published: January 2024

Objective: We wish to update existing meta-analyses to assess the effectiveness of pharmacological agents against ureteral stent-related symptoms with better design of RCTs, as well as more valid and reliable measurement methods. Material & Methods: Relevant published articles up to February 2022 were obtained from PubMed, CENTRAL, Google Scholar, Science Direct, and DOAJ. All single-blind or double-blind RCTs with various comparisons using pharmacological agents and/or placebo in patients with ureteral stent-related symptoms, with outcome assessment using USSQ at week 1 and week 4 during stent placement was included in the study. Statistical parameter Mean Difference (MD) with 95% CI was used to measure effect size. The p value less than 0.05 indicates statistical significance. Results: Alpha blockers (2 studies, 85 samples) significantly reduced fourth week UIS compared to placebo (MD: – 5.46, 95% CI: – 7.47 to -3.46, I2 = 0%, P = < 0.001), and alpha blockers (2 studies, 42 samples) significantly reduced first week SIS compared to combination therapy (MD: – 0.82, 95% CI: – 1.56 to – 0.08, I2 = 0%, P = 0.03). The results of the meta-analysis of USSQ scores in other domains have no significant differences. Conclusion: Alpha blockers were better than placebo in reducing UIS due to ureteral stent in the fourth week of stent placement, and better than combination therapy in reducing SIS due to ureteral stent in the first-week post stenting. However, more RCTs are needed with larger samples and better designs to reach valid conclusions.

Published: January 2024

The subject matter of this article is the processes of increasing information security in communication systems to solve applied problems that are critical in the transmission of confidential data. The goal is to develop a multi-stage method for protecting information from unauthorized access, based on probabilistic encryption integration, error-correcting code, and error decorrelation. The tasks to be solved are as follows: to develop a probabilistic encryption algorithm that considers the entropy of the characters’ appearance in a message; to implement iterative coding with variable parameters of the information bits matrix; and to implement error decorrelation based on the generated matrix by interleaving information and check bits according to a given algorithm. Methodology: theory of signal communication and signal processing, theory of cryptography, theory of noise-resistant codes, probability theory, statistical analysis. The following results were obtained: a multi-stage method for protecting information from unauthorized access was proposed, in which at each step of data conversion, information secrecy is increased; probabilistic encryption was implemented, which considers the entropy of a discrete source of information when forming a space of random combinations; based on an iterative code with specified matrix parameters, an additional increase in the space of random combinations was implemented; error decorrelation reduces the multiplicity of errors in codewords and ensures mixing of bits according to a predetermined law. Conclusions. The scientific novelty of the results obtained is as follows: 1) an improved method of information protection from unauthorized access is proposed, based on probabilistic encryption integration, interference-resistant coding, and error decorrelation; 2) increasing information concealment is realized by eliminating the main shortcomings of probabilistic encryption, which did not take into account the entropy of the symbols of the open message; 3) it is proposed to form the space of random combinations taking into account the average probability of the appearance of a symbol in open texts, which will allow the output of a probabilistic cipher to form a stream of random combinations, which, according to its statistical properties, is close to the uniform distribution law; 4) further development of information protection methods based on interference-resistant coding and error decorrelation with encryption functions is received; 5) a further development of the statistical encryption method is the use of all redundant elements for both probabilistic encryption and interference-resistant coding.

The Ajali sandstone is a possible reservoir rock in the Lower Benue Trough (LBT)/Anambra Basin (AB), and understanding its geological, sedimentological distribution is essential for accurate prediction of fluid flow dynamic. Geological, granulometric analysis and laboratory hydraulic conductivity test are integrated for this investigation. Results from geological studies reveals three sandstone lithofacies; namely; AJALI L2A a sandstone intermixed with siltstone, lamination, bioturbated, and crossed bedded, AJALI L2B sandstone mixed with silty clay, crossed bedded and bioturbated and AJALI L2C an excessive weathered sandstone with visible ripple and ridges with all sedimentary features supporting the earlier proposed fluvio-deltaic depositional environments. The granulometric analysis reveals medium to coarse grain, poorly sorted sandstone lithofacies. Hydraulic conductivity test for AJALI L2A crossed bedded and lamination sandstone contributes smaller pore spaces between grains, which reduce overall interconnectivity of the pore network primarily decreasing the fluid hydraulic flow conductivity and thus lowers the permeability value to 75mD. While in the AJALI L2B intermixed with siltstone and clay sandstone, lowers porosity; but cross-bedding may have contributed positively to increase in permeability value to 1850 mD in this lithofacies. The weathered AJALI L2C sandstone with visible ripples and ridges significantly affect the physical properties and pore spaces obliteration by iron oxide, by contributing to reduction in the permeability value to 60 mD. In overall it is concluded that the Ajali sandstones generally will exhibits an average moderate permeability of 662 mD.

An optimal allocation aids a company to get its desired outcome. Their aims are distributed into two core sections; they want to maximize the profit and also try to minimize the related cost. Transportation cost is one of the unwanted costs for the companies. They want to abate it as well. To cut it down, there are a lot of solving methods developed recently. From the recent developments we choose the two effective methods Faster Strongly Polynomial method (FSTP) and the Modified Distribution method worked on Vogel's Approximation Method (VAM-MODI) to find the best one. On our selected higher-dimensional problems, the findings show us that FSTP is best if we compare the number of steps, but concerning the short execution time, VAM-MODI performs well.

Published: January 2024

Pantai adalah tempat yang nyaman buat berwisata dan jalan santai. Oleh sebab itu kebersihan daerah tepian pantai harus tetap terjaga demi kenyamanan bersama. Akibat ketidak disiplinan pengunjung, banyak sampah berserakat dan menumpuk tidak pada tempatnya setiap hari. Sehingga petugas kebersihan kesulitan untuk membersihkan sampah secara manual. Oleh sebab itu diperlukan tahap awal merancang, kemudian dilanjutkan dengan pembuatan sebuah mesin pembersih pantai semi otomatis atau Beach Cleaning Machine untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut. Nantinya membersihkan pantai dengan menggunakan mesin ini dapat mempercepat proses pembersihan serta meringankan pekerjaan petugas kebersihan pantai. Prinsip kerja mesin ini menggunakan motor bensin sebagai sumber penggerak. Sehingga saat motor dinyalakan, maka mesin akan bekerja secara otomatis. Kemudian untuk mengarahkan gerakan mesin diperlukan seorang operator. Sehingga sangat tepat sekali menggunakan Beach Cleaning Machine untuk membersihkan pantai bila dibandingkan dengan memungut langsung ataupun menggunakan alat manual, karena dapat menghemat waktu pekerjaan.

Published: January 2024

Penumpukan serat ampas tebu dan ampas serat buah kelapa akan menyebabkan pembusukan dan bau yang tidak sedap, maka dari itu perlu dilakukan penanganan yang serius. Salah satunya pembuatan komposit serat alam. Tujuan penelitian untuk mendapatkan nilai pengujian tarik tertinggi pada komposit hybride serat buah kelapa dan serat tebu pada bagian akar,batang, dan pucuk dengan fraksi volume Serat Tebu 10% - Serat Kelapa 20%, Serat Tebu 20% - Serat Kelapa 10% dan Serat Tebu 15% - Serat Kelapa 15%, dengan perlakuan alkali NaOH 5% selama 2 jam. Pembuatan sampel menggunakan metode hand lay,-up. Analisis dilakukan menggunakan metode desain eksperimen langsung. Hasilnya kekuatan tarik tertinggi sebesar 17,2 Mpa pada fraksi volume Serat Tebu 10% - Serat Kelapa 20% dan terjadi penurunan kekuatan tarik pada fraksi volume Serat Tebu 20% - Serat Kelapa 10%. Kekuatan tarik terendah pada fraksi volume Serat Tebu 20% - Serat Kelapa 10% dengan nilai kekuatan uji tarik 6,6 Mpa, artinya semakin banyak penyebaran serat pada resin disetiap komposit akan memperkuat ikatan antara matrik dan serat yang menyebabkan komposit akan bersifat kuat dan tidak getas. Pada foto mikro pada perendaman NaOH 5% selama 2 jam belum mampu membersihkan kotoran atau lapisan yang menempel pada serat kelapa, sedangkan pada serat tebu dengan perendaman 2 jam sudah mampu membersihkan lapisan atau kotoran pada serat. Kotoran yang menenpel akan mempengaruhi ikatan antara serat dan resin.

Published: January 2024

BackgroundA number of mosquito-borne viruses (MBVs), such as dengue virus (DENV), zika virus (ZIKV), chikungunya (CHIKV), West Nile virus (WNV), and yellow fever virus (YFV) exert adverse health impacts on the global population. Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus are the prime vectors responsible for the transmission of these viruses. The viruses have acquired a number of routes for successful transmission, including horizontal and vertical transmission. Transovarial transmission is a subset/type of vertical transmission adopted by mosquitoes for the transmission of viruses from females to their offspring through eggs/ovaries. It provides a mechanism for these MBVs to persist and maintain their lineage during adverse climatic conditions of extremely hot and cold temperatures, during the dry season, or in the absence of susceptible vertebrate host when horizontal transmission is not possible.MethodsThe publications discussed in this systematic review were searched for using the PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases, and websites such as those of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, using the search terms “transovarial transmission” and “mosquito-borne viruses” from 16 May 2023 to 20 September 2023.ResultsA total of 2,391 articles were searched, of which 123 were chosen for full text evaluation, and 60 were then included in the study after screening and removing duplicates.ConclusionThe present systematic review focuses on understanding the above diseases, their pathogenesis, epidemiology and host–parasite interactions. The factors affecting transovarial transmission, potential implications, mosquito antiviral defense mechanism, and the control strategies for these mosquito-borne viral diseases (MBVDs) are also be included in this review.
“My goal is to make sustainability mainstream”: emerging visual narratives on the environmental crisis on Instagram
Authors: San Cornelio Gemma , Martorell Sandra , Ardèvol Elisenda 
Published: January 2024

IntroductionIn the face of the current climate crisis, environmental communication can contribute to providing new frames of understanding and promoting social change and positive citizen action. Through social media, on platforms like Instagram, concerned citizens embrace environmental communication activism ultimately reshaping the narratives regarding the climate crisis. These individuals, who we identify as both activists and environmental influencers, are challenging the established media narratives with their posts and stories, thus offering alternative narratives. Accordingly, this paper aims to elaborate an incipient characterization of a communicative agenda that includes the emerging elements of these visual narratives in social media as potentially able to engage citizens to take action in their ordinary lives.MethodsOur research draws on a qualitative methodological approach, based on: (1) a digital ethnography carried out on 60 Instagram accounts devoted to the dissemination of environmental concerns and contents, (2) a visual narrative analysis of 281 selected posts of the previous accounts, and (3) 14 in-depth interviews conducted with digital activists.ResultsWe have identified the main traits of these emerging visual narratives: the use of positive visuals and content; first-person accounts highlighting the small actions and achievements (propositive narratives) that can be carried out in our daily lives; and/or the use of memes, humor, and other elements of popular culture to make the environmental cause mainstream.DiscussionThe study underscores a notable divergence between established environmental narratives and those curated by eco-influencers on social media. These influencers strategically leverage emotionally resonant, positive visual narratives, departing from fear-inducing content. They emphasize individual actions and solutions rather than collective interventions, personalizing the climate crisis. Additionally, their narratives engage in a nuanced dialogue with nature and integrate popular culture, humor, and memes to effectively reach diverse audiences. This shift reflects a broader cultural change in communication strategies, signaling a novel approach to mobilize audiences toward environmental engagement.

Published: January 2024

ObjectiveIncreasing evidence indicated that schizophrenia and obesity are associated with altered mitochondrial and immune function. In this study, we investigated the levels of CRP (C-reactive protein) and mitochondrial lymphocytes in chronically treated schizophrenia patients with atypical antipsychotic medications and further explored the relationship between mitochondrial lymphocyte and weight gain as well as cognitive function in these patients.MethodsWe evaluated the mitochondrial lymphocyte count of 97 patients (53 overweight, 44 non-overweight) and 100 healthy controls using mitochondrial fluorescence staining and flow cytometry (NovoCyte, Agilent Technologies, US). The serum CRP was measured by high-sensitivity enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Clinical symptoms and cognitive function of the patients were assessed using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) and the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS).ResultsThe results showed that mitochondrial lymphocyte counts of CD3+ T, CD3+CD4+ T, and CD3+CD8+ T cells in schizophrenia patients were higher than in the control group (p &lt; 0.05). Additionally, overweight patients had significantly higher mitochondrial lymphocyte counts of CD3+ T and CD3+CD4+ T cells compared to schizophrenia patients with normal weight. Stratified analysis by gender revealed that there was a statistically significant difference in CD3+CD4+ mitochondrial lymphocyte count in male patients (p = 0.014) and a marginal trend toward significance in female patients (p = 0.058). Furthermore, the mitochondrial lymphocyte counts of CD3+ T and CD3+CD4+ T cells, as well as CRP levels, were positively correlated with BMI in schizophrenia patients, but the mitochondrial lymphocyte counts of CD3+CD4+ T cells were negatively correlated with the language scale in the RBANS.ConclusionOur study results provide evidence for the association between altered mitochondrial T lymphocyte and weight gain as well as cognitive impairment in schizophrenia patients treated with atypical antipsychotic medications.
