Published: January 2025

Abstract:
Metallic nanostructures play a vital role in technological advancement, providing exceptional
performance and improved adaptability in comparison to their bulk equivalents. Conventional
synthesis techniques frequently depend on dangerous reducing agents to transform metal ions into
Nanoparticles (NPs), which presents considerable environmental and health issues. In contrast, the
approach of green synthesis, which emphasizes the use of non-toxic reagents, has garnered significant
interest as a sustainable method for the fabrication of Metallic Nanoparticles (MNPs). This sustainable
approach utilizes biological sources, like actinomycetes, algae, fungi, polymers, crops,
waste biomass, and yeast, recognized for their excellent biocompatibility, availability, affordability,
and efficiency. Biological extracts act as reducing and stabilizing agents, with the metabolites and
enzymes present in these extracts aiding in the conversion of metal ions into nanoparticles. This review
offers an in-depth examination of different MNPs, such as copper, gold, platinum, silver, and
zinc, emphasizing their distinct characteristics and a variety of synthesis methods. The review further
explores the diverse applications of MNPs in biomimetics, agriculture, and various industrial sectors,
including energy, catalysis, and wastewater treatment, along with optical enhancement. This review
explores stability and toxicity profiles, filling a significant gap in the existing knowledge base and
providing valuable insights into the broad applicability of MNPs.
The Analysis of Women’s Decision to Work on Sandwich Generation in Indonesia
Authors: Mauri Mahesa 
Published: January 2025

The Sandwich Generation refers to individuals of working age who are simultaneously responsible for raising their own children and caring for their aging parents, a dual responsibility that presents numerous challenges. This burden is particularly significant for women in Indonesia, where cultural expectations often require them to prioritize family caregiving over professional careers. Many Sandwich Generation women face difficult choices between raising their children, maintaining employment, and providing financial support for both their children and elderly parents. Using data from the 2014 Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) by probit regression, it is known that the responsibilities of being in the Sandwich Generationsignificantly impact women's decisions to work. This finding underscores the need for policies that support women who are balancing these dual roles, particularly in creating environments that enable them to participate in the workforce while fulfilling their caregiving duties. Implementing such policies could greatly enhance the quality of life for these women by reducing the strain of managing work and family responsibilities. Based on this research, sddressing the needs of the Sandwich Generation is crucial for fostering a more inclusive and supportive societal framework in Indonesia.

Authors: Agustin Rahayu Anzelina , Rachmad Kresna Sakti  
Published: January 2025

The success of economic development can be characterized by an increase in economic growth and equitable development. However, in reality, the increase in economic growth is not necessarily followed by equity. This is evidenced by the persistence of inequality in several aspects related to development between regions in Indonesia. One of them is income inequality by calculating the Williamson Index which shows an upward trend from 2018 - 2022. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a more in-depth research related to the causality between economic growth and income inequality, as well as the factors that influence these two aspects in the period 2018 - 2022. This study applies a simultaneous equation model through the use of the Inderect Least square (ILS) method. The results of the analysis show that (1) income inequality and IP-ICT have a significant negative effect on economic growth. (2) TPAK and PMTB significantly affect economic growth in a positive direction. (3) Income inequality is significantly positively affected by economic growth. (4) Total population, TPAK, and IP-ICT have a significant negative effect on income inequality. (5) There is a unidirectional causality from economic growth to income inequality.

Keberhasilan pembangunan ekonomi dapat ditandai oleh kenaikan pertumbuhan ekonomi dan pemerataan pembangunan. Namun, kenyataannya kenaikan pertumbuhan ekonomi belum tentu diikuti oleh pemerataan. Hal ini terbukti dengan masih adanya ketimpangan dalam beberapa aspek terkait dengan pembangunan antar wilayah di Indonesia. Salah satunya adalah ketimpangan pendapatan melalui perhitungan Indeks Williamson yang menunjukkan kecenderungan kenaikan dari tahun 2018 – 2022. Oleh sebab itu, perlu dilakukan penelitian secara lebih mendalam terkait dengan kausalitas antara pertumbuhan ekonomi dan ketimpangan pendapatan, serta faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi kedua aspek tresebut pada periode 2018 – 2022. Penelitian ini menerapkan model persamaan simultan melalui penggunaan metode Inderect Least Square (ILS). Hasil analisis yang telah dilakukan, menunjukkan bahwa (1) ketimpangan pendapatan dan IP-TIK berpengaruh negatif signifikan terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi. (2) TPAK dan PMTB mempengaruhi pertumbuhan ekonomi ke arah positif secara signifikan. (3) Ketimpangan pendapatan secara signifikan positif dipengaruhi oleh pertumbuhan ekonomi. (4) Jumlah penduduk, TPAK, dan IP-TIK berpengaruh negatif signifikan terhadap ketimpangan pendapatan. (5) Terdapat hubungan satu arah (unidirectional causality) dari pertumbuhan ekonomi terhadap ketimpangan pendapatan.

Abstract

Background
Forearm, wrist, and hand impairments affect many individuals and impose a significant economic burden on health care systems. The FEPSim (flexion, extension, pronation, and supination) is designed for hand and wrist rehabilitation. It could become part of the standard care for upper extremity rehabilitation, aiming to improve range of motion, dexterity, and strength during therapeutic activities. However, the FEPSim has not yet been tested in a health care setting, highlighting the need for a trial to assess its effectiveness in upper extremity rehabilitation.

Objective
We aim to assess the feasibility of conducting a definitive trial investigating the effectiveness of adding a new device for hand therapy exercises, the FEPSim, to standard care for patients with impairments of the hand, wrist, and forearm.

Methods
Thirty-eight patients with impairments of distal upper extremities were randomly assigned either to the intervention group (FEPSim and standard care, n=19) or to the control group (standard care, n=19). Therapeutic activities to increase strength, range of motion, resistance, and dexterity were delivered by treating hand therapists using the FEPSim device for the intervention group. Outcome measures included wrist passive and active range of motion, grip strength, pinch grip force, and the Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation.

Results
The trial retention rate (36/38, 95%) and compliance (control group: 100%; intervention group: 89%) were high. The comparisons of the change-from-baseline between groups revealed that in 63.2% (12/19) of the outcome variables, the change was in favor of the FEPSim, with statistically significant improvements in passive wrist flexion (t34=−0.335, P=.008) and grip strength (t34=−1.841, P=.04).

Conclusions
The FEPSim was accepted as part of standard care by therapists and patients at 2 hospitals. The trial design was feasible for hand intervention using the FEPSim device. The FEPSim positively affected grip strength, an objective measure of hand functioning.

Key Points

Studies on GFR assessment in people with cancer are needed.In this study, the creatinine–cystatin C equations performed better than other equations, and this was observed in solid and hematological cancers.Our findings give support to the preferential use of creatinine and cystatin C–based equations in people with cancer.

Background
GFR assessment is important in clinical practice with implications for diagnosis, prognostication, and drug dosing. People with cancer are at risk of imprecision in GFR estimation. This cross-sectional study evaluated the performance of various creatinine and cystatin C–based equations in comparison with measured GFR (mGFR) in people with cancer.

Methods
We retrieved data for all adult patients who had mGFR by urinary iothalamate clearance between 2011 and 2023 at Mayo Clinic and use of an electronic health record diagnosis code for cancer within 2 years before mGFR. The CKD Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI), European Kidney Function Consortium, and Cockcroft–Gault equations were computed, along with performance metrics (bias, precision, and root mean square error [RMSE]. Confidence intervals were generated by bootstrapping, and analysis were stratified by solid and hematological cancers.

Results
From all adults with cancer and mGFR, 1145 had both creatinine and cystatin C available within 7 days of mGFR. Among all equations, the creatinine–cystatin C CKD-EPI equation provided the best performance, with small bias (median, 3.0; 95% confidence interval, 2.3 to 3.8) and higher precision (RMSE, 14.5) compared with creatinine-only or cystatin C–only equations (RMSE varying from 16.6 to 20), and this was also true in solid and hematological cancers. The creatinine–cystatin European Kidney Function Consortium equation had a similar performance to CKD-EPI, Cockcroft–Gault showed worst precision (30% of people with errors above 30%), and cystatin C CKD-EPI equation was the most biased, prone to underestimation of mGFR.

Conclusions
In our cohort of patients with mGFR and cancer, the CKD-EPI creatinine–cystatin C equation performed best for GFR assessment, and this was true for both solid and hematological cancers. Our findings give support for the preferential use of creatinine and cystatin C–based equations instead of creatinine-only or cystatin C–only equations in people with cancer.
Forecasting Drilling Mud Losses Using Python
Authors: Kornilaev N. V. , Koledina K. F. 
Published: January 2025

Introduction. Drilling mud losses are among the most common complications encountered during well drilling. Forecasting these losses is a priority as it helps minimize drilling fluid wastage and prevent wellbore incidents. Mud loss events are primarily influenced by the geological properties of the formations being drilled. Understanding the relationship between mud loss occurrences and the geological characteristics of the formations has both fundamental and practical significance. Given the complexity of predicting mud loss probabilities using traditional mathematical models, this study aims to develop a machine-learning-based system to predict the probability of mud losses based on well location and stratigraphic description.Materials and Methods. Experimental data from 735 wells at the Shkapovskoye oil field, including well location coordinates, geological layer indices, and mud loss intensities, were prepared for computational analysis. The dataset was divided into training and testing subsets. The classification problem was addressed using four intensity classes with the following machine learning models: Decision Tree, Random Forest, and Linear Discriminant Analysis.Results. Predictions generated by the three models were compared against the experimental data in the test set. The evaluation metrics included accuracy and recall. All three models achieved an average prediction accuracy of 91%. Linear Discriminant Analysis was identified as the most accurate model.Discussion and Conclusion. High-accuracy predictions enable reliable forecasting of the probability and intensity of mud losses based on the location and stratigraphic description of new wells. The study presents three machine learning methods that demonstrated superior results in solving this problem.

Prufrock: The Delegate of Modern Man
Authors: Bhandary Amaresh Prasad , Quadir Abdul , Singh Vandana 
Published: January 2025

The ‘Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock,’ a great work of art by the great modern poet and critic T. S. Eliot, started in 1911 was published in 1917 after the publication of the “Preludes” (1915). It is considered, a dramatic monologue as Tennyson’s ‘Ulysess’ and has been composed in the pattern of Stream of Consciousness. It is the poetry of anguish against the growing materialism augmented by the impact of the World-War I (1914-1919). The trauma of the war lingered, making people apprehensive of the uncertainty of the situation and difference of the gigantic problems of life. Materialism and commercialism appeared to choke the human emotion and feelings that led the poets to attack the trend with wit and irony.
The Epigraph taken from Dante’s ‘Inferno’ forms the root image of the poem. The Epigraph suggests the vagueness of the speaker’s thought but the images are quite distinct and the range of wit is very wide. The opening line of the poem with their colloquial language presents a break from Victorian poetry –
‘Let us go then You and I.’ [1]
Prufrock has nursed love in his heart but has not been able to convey his feelings to his beloved. He ponders:
‘we have lingered in the chambers of the sea.’ [2]
Time has moved to form a bald on the middle portion of his head, yet he has not been able and courageous enough to cough out his feelings to his beloved and nor he feels the need of a face to meet the ‘faces we meet.’
He is in the ‘Autumn’ of life advancing to ‘Winter’, yet is unable to express his love to his beloved, although he has been craving for the same since long and has been procrastinating and idle only fancying:
‘There will be time there will be time.’ [3]
suggesting his belief that there is a reason for every happening, taking place everywhere.
He evaluates himself that he has lived a club life having no life force save the passing of days and has measured his life with ‘coffee-spoons.’
Prufrock suffers from inaction and indecision that reminds us of Hamlet, the prince of Denmark who had divided-self oscillating between ‘to be or not to be.’

ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACT OF GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE TRENDS ON THE BLOOMING OF THE DNIPRO RIVER IN THE DNIPRO-DONBAS CANAL AREA
Authors: Onanko Y. A. 
Published: January 2025

The hydrodynamic properties of a reservoir can affect the potential for cyanobacterial blooming. Slow-flowing or stagnant waters are more conducive to blooming stability. Therefore, water with a faster flow, more intensive mixing, or higher rotation speed is less likely to develop cyanobacterial blooming. The Kremenchutske and Kamianske reservoirs have an essential impact on the blooming of the Dnieper River in the Dnieper-Donbas Canal area. Their temperature regime in the warm season favors the development of zooplankton and phytoplankton. Aquatic vegetation is most common in shallow water. Water blooming is observed in summer, and this process covers up to 70% of the area of ​​reservoirs, especially in the southern part and bays, deteriorating water quality. Higher frequency and intensity of precipitation, accompanied by longer periods of drought, can create contribute greater nutrient mobility. Longer periods of high temperatures also contribute to this process, at that there is no mixing of water layers. Cyanobacteria can quickly utilize nutrients that enter water bodies due to rainfall. Strong winds can also affect the cyanobacteria population, pushing cyanobacterial cells and colonies towards the banks, where they accumulate.These reservoirs are located in the temperate continental climate zone and belong to water bodies that warm up well. That is due to their width, which makes wind mixing possible in the middle and lower parts of the reservoirs, as a result of which the temperature is distributed evenly and horizontally. To confirm and supplement the results of field studies, statistical processing of water quality indicators of the Dnipro River in the area of ​​the Dnipro-Donbas Canal was carried out. Trends were determined by regression analysis of time series of water quality indicators. The distribution was checked for normality using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk tests. Correlation analysis was performed using the Pearson parametric method and the Spearman nonparametric method. The fluctation period was determined using the spectral Fourier transform method. The comprehensive analysis made it possible to establish the factors that are the main cause of water blooming in the studied area, which makes it possible to control the necessary water treatment processes.
