ABSTRACT

Industrial symbiosis approach was established between an industrial company and a water utility to prioritize the reuse of urban wastewater for industrial purposes. This requires low-salinity water, but this area is frequently affected by saline intrusion, thus creating water-related conflicts between the different economic activities. This study proposes a digital solution that combines dynamic simulation model (that predicts seawater intrusion and runoff) with digital tools, i.e., smart equalization (control algorithm) and matchmaking platform (decision support system). The models aim to predict the periods where significant peaks of salinity occurs, whereas the tools aim to distribute the wastewater and reclaimed water streams to diverse applications (industrial, agricultural) and/or treatments (conventional treatment, reverse osmosis) to maximize the amount of wastewater reused in efficient and sustainable way. During the 2D simulated period, wastewater conductivity was in range of 2100–2700 µS·cm−1. Although this conductivity was over the limit required for industrial reuse, the digital solution implemented in this study enabled to recover 71% of the total wastewater produced for industrial purposes and 10% for irrigation, only discharging 19% of the total. The approach implemented in this study would be very useful to be replicated in coastal areas where saline intrusion is relevant.

Published: February 2025

Paranti (Ixora coccinea Linn) is used in several regions of India, especially in rural communities, by traditional medicine practitioners to treat diarrhoea. However, no scientific data is available to justify the traditional potentials of the plant species in gastrointestinal disorders. This study evaluates the In vitro antibacterial activities on diarrhoea causing organisms. In vitro antidiarrheal activity of the decoction of leaves and roots of Paranti (Ixora coccinea Linn), was evaluated against Salmonella para typhi A, and Shigella flexneri by Agar Dilution Method and Time Kill Assay. The Agar Dilution Method showed no antibacterial activity of Paranti (Ixora coccinea Linn) root and leaf decoction against Shigella flexneri and Salmonella para typhi A at volumes ranging from 0.5 ml to 5 ml. In the Time Kill Assay, both root and leaf decoction exhibited moderate antibacterial activity against both bacteria at all time points, except for a lack of activity at 8 hours for the leaves against Salmonella para typhi A. These results suggest high antibacterial effectiveness, particularly in a time-dependent context, against bacteria causing diarrhoea. Thus In vitro antibacterial activities which support its use in traditional herbal medicine practice.

Published: February 2025

Background
Racial inequity in health outcomes, particularly in colorectal cancer (CRC), remains one of the most pressing issues in cancer communication and public health. Social media platforms like Twitter (now X) provide opportunities to disseminate health equity information widely, yet little is known about the availability, content, and reach of racial health equity information related to CRC on these platforms. Addressing this gap is essential to leveraging social media for equitable health communication.

Objective
This study aims to analyze the volume, content, and exposure of CRC racial health equity tweets from identified CRC equity disseminator accounts on Twitter. These accounts were defined as those actively sharing information related to racial equity in CRC outcomes. By examining the behavior and impact of these disseminators, this study provides insights into how health equity content is shared and received on social media.

Methods
We identified accounts that posted CRC-related content on Twitter between 2019 and 2021. Accounts were classified as CRC equity disseminators (n=798) if they followed at least 2 CRC racial equity organization accounts. We analyzed the volume and content of racial equity–related CRC tweets (n=1134) from these accounts and categorized them by account type (experts vs nonexperts). Additionally, we evaluated exposure by analyzing follower reach (n=6,266,269) and the role of broker accounts—accounts serving as unique sources of CRC racial equity information to their followers.

Results
Among 19,559 tweets posted by 798 CRC equity disseminators, only 5.8% (n=1134) mentioned racially and ethnically minoritized groups. Most of these tweets (641/1134, 57%) addressed disparities in outcomes, while fewer emphasized actionable content, such as symptoms (11/1134, 1%) or screening procedures (159/1134, 14%). Expert accounts (n=479; 716 tweets) were more likely to post CRC equity tweets compared with nonexpert accounts (n=319; 418 tweets). Broker accounts (n=500), or those with a substantial portion of followers relying on them for equity-related information, demonstrated the highest capacity for exposing followers to CRC equity content, thereby extending the reach of these critical messages to underserved communities.

Conclusions
This study emphasizes the critical roles played by expert and broker accounts in disseminating CRC racial equity information on social media. Despite the limited volume of equity-focused content, broker accounts were crucial in reaching otherwise unexposed audiences. Public health practitioners should focus on encouraging equity disseminators to share more actionable information, such as symptoms and screening benefits, and implement measures to amplify the reach of such content on social media. Strengthening these efforts could help bridge disparities in cancer outcomes among racially minoritized groups.

Published: February 2025

Copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles were synthesized through the thermal decomposition of a copper(II) Schiff-base complex. The complex was formed by reacting cupric acetate with a Schiff base in a 2:1 metal-to-ligand ratio. The Schiff base itself was synthesized via the condensation of benzidine and 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde in the presence of glacial acetic acid. This newly synthesized symmetric Schiff base served as the ligand for the Cu(II) metal ion complex. The ligand and its complex were characterized using several spectroscopic methods, including FTIR, UV-vis, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, CHNS, and AAS, along with TGA, molar conductivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The CuO nanoparticles were produced by thermally decomposing the complex at 800 °C. These nanoparticles and other metal oxides are highly valued in various industries for their optical, magnetic, and electrical properties. The experiment highlighted the synthesis of CuO nanoparticles through the thermal breakdown of copper(II) ions, starting with copper acetate, which reacted with the ligand to form the complex. The characterization results of CuO nanoparticles reveal a highly pure crystalline structure with an average size of 70–90 nm.

Published: February 2025

Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of the model (BAM - Brazilian Atmospheric Model) in simulating regional climate variability in the NEB and the associated atmospheric circulation characteristics during the austral summers of 2011 (La Niña), 2014 (Normal), and 2016 (El Niño).

Method: For this study, climate simulation data from the BAM model were used, along with Precipitation data from the Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP). Data on zonal and meridional components from the MERRA2 reanalysis were used, and in addition to the zonal and meridional components, air temperature at 850 hPa from ERA5 was also utilized. A comparison was made between the BAM data and the ERA-5, MERRA2, and GPCP data. To assess the model's efficiency, the following statistical methods were used: Pearson Correlation (r), Mean Bias (BIAS), and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE).

Results and Discussion: The analyses show that the BAM model was skillful in simulating atmospheric circulation patterns and air temperature at lower and upper levels of the atmosphere over the NEB, as well as interannual variability during the aforementioned summers, when compared to the ERA5 and MERRA2 reanalyses, and for precipitation when compared to the GPCP data. The best performance was observed for the air temperature field across all investigated areas, relative to the precipitation field, during the three austral summers.

Research Implications: Based on the analyses of the BAM model, we can assist both in diagnosing and forecasting the impacts of climate variability in specific regions of the NEB, leading to more effective action policies to mitigate the impacts caused by droughts affecting this region.

Originality/Value: The study presents the initial analyses and validations of the BAM model data, demonstrating the model's efficiency and skill in improving studies and forecasts in the NEB region, particularly in future scenarios affected by climate change.

Abstract. Bullying and violence are two problems that children often face in school environments. The impact of this behavior can threaten children's psyche and make them reluctant to go to school. This community service aims to provide education to elementary school students in Madiun City through an anti-violence and anti-bullying counseling process. The implementation method is carried out by means of lectures, interactive video screenings, singing activities, and Q&A. The results of the activity showed that all students actively participated in this activity and the findings showed that there were still students who were perpetrators or victims of bullying and minor violence. The bullying that occurred was identical to mocking parents' names while minor violence occurred between male students. After the counseling was carried out, in the question and answer session, students had the desire to change and avoid this behavior. This is indicated by the average accuracy of the number of students who have understood anti-violence and bullying after the counseling was carried out, namely with an average value of 235.75 or 93.5%. The counseling activities carried out are a form of cooperation between universities and schools to prevent violence and bullying in children. Through this process, a new, creative, and innovative learning process occurs in preventing violence and bullying.
