Experimental study of the effect of high-strength clogging-resistant permeable pavement (CRP) on the runoff using a rainfall simulator
Authors: Rezaei Alireza , Karami Hojat 
Published: February 2024

Abstract

Permeable pavements play an effective role in reducing runoff by decreasing the impermeable area. But, conventional permeable pavements suffer disadvantages such as low resistance. To address this, the ‘high-strength clogging-resistant permeable pavement (CRP)’ has been developed. The present study aimed to evaluate the performance of the CRP model with varying percentages of coverage (A) of 25, 50, and 100%, slopes (S) of 1, 3, and 5%, as well as rainfall intensities (I) of 45, 55, 70, 90, 170, and 200 mm/h. Based on the results, there was an increase in A from 50 to 100% at I = 90 mm/h, decreased runoff coefficient (C) of 18, 15, and 13% at S of 1, 3, and 5%, respectively. At the same I, increasing S from 1 to 5% increased the C coefficient in A of 0, 25, 50, and 100% by 3, 31, 32, and 39%, respectively. Due to the ever-increasing urbanization and the subsequent increase in impervious areas, the risk of severe floods has greatly increased. Therefore, providing solutions such as the CRP model can help reduce flood risks in urban areas. The findings of this research can be used as a guide in the design of high-strength clogging-resistant permeable pavements in urban areas.
Efficacy of Methylphenidate for Internet Gaming Disorder and Internet
Addiction in Patients with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
Authors: Salvati Andrea , Sesso Gianluca , Lenzi Francesca , Masi Gabriele , Berloffa Stefano 
Published: February 2024

Background:
Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) and Internet Addiction (IA) are related clinical conditions
often comorbid with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

Objective:
We evaluated the efficacy of MPH for IGD/IA symptoms in ADHD patients.

Methods:
We enrolled 38 drug-naive patients diagnosed with ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder)
and IGD/IA. At baseline, all patients underwent a clinical assessment for IGD/IA symptoms and then received
the most appropriate therapy according to their clinical profile. Twenty-one patients received MPH
(methylphenidate) treatment, and 17 patients did not. Patients were re-evaluated after three months of treatment.

Results:
Findings revealed significant reductions in IGD/IA symptoms over time, while no significant effect
of MPH on symptom reduction was found. Clinical predictors of symptom reduction were identified, including
IQ (Intelligence Quotient) and comorbid anxiety.

Conclusion:
This longitudinal prospective study contributes to the understanding of IGD/IA treatment in ADHD
patients and highlights the importance of considering individual clinical characteristics when predicting
treatment response. However, MPH may not directly impact IGD/IA symptom reduction.

Authors: Yang Lu , Bao Yuchen , Fu Qinwen , Fu Yue , Tian Qingqing , Tang Yu , Xia Zihan , Zhou Huifang , Wu Chuyue , Sun Jilin , Huang Qinwan 
Published: February 2024

Background::
ALD is a chronic liver disease caused by chronic excessive alcohol consumption,
for which there are no drugs with better efficacy. Ancient literature and modern studies
have shown that Massa Medicata Fermentata (MMF) has a hangover effect and ameliorates
hepatic inflammation, so we believe that MMF has a potential role in the treatment of alcoholic
liver disease.

Methods::
UPLC-Q-Orbitrap HRMS was used to characterize the chemical constituents in MMF.
The database was utilized to collect targets for the components and diseases, and cross-targeting
analysis of the targets was performed. PPI, KEGG, GO enrichment analysis and molecular docking
were performed using the core cross-targeting information to preliminarily validate the
mechanism of action of MMF on disease. Finally, animal validation was carried out using male
KM mice of the alcoholic liver injury model.

Results::
MMF could play a role in the therapeutic prevention of alcoholic liver disease through
the core targets AKT1, TNF, TP53, IL6 and CASP3 to regulate cancer pathways, lipid, and atherosclerosis,
targeting IL-17 signaling, TNF signaling pathway, and hepatitis C, which was confirmed
by animal pharmacodynamic experiments

Conclusion::
This study serves as a rationale to support MMF in the treatment of ALD and meets
the urgent need for clinical treatment of ALD. At the same time, it broadens the scope of clinical
application of MMF.
A Systematic Review of Electrochemical Sensing Devices Based on Metal-organic Frameworks for the Identification of Tumor Biomarkers
Authors: Felix Aiany Maria Queiroz , Santos Karen Loraine Macena , Junior Severino Alves , Oliveira Maria Danielly Lima , de Andrade Cesar Augusto Souza 
Published: February 2024

Background:
Electrochemical sensors have attracted enormous interest in recent decades
due to their relatively simple synthesis process, the possibility of modifications in their composition,
and their wide application in detecting analytes.

Methods:
To achieve excellent performance, materials used in its construction must facilitate the
transfer of electrons and provide a large surface area and excellent electrocatalytic activity. Because
they are functional nanomaterials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) meet the criteria for application
as a sensing material and can be used to build high-performance sensors for numerous applications.
They play a relevant role in the early diagnosis of various neoplasms and tumor processes,
thus providing better prognoses. Considering this universe, the present study focused on evaluating
the application of these nanomaterials in the recognition of tumor biomarkers.

Results:
A systematic review of scientific publications was performed using the following descriptors
"MOFs", "Metal-organic frameworks", "Biosensor", "Electrochemistry", and "Tumor Biomarker".

Conclusion:
Herein, we analyze recent innovations of MOF-based biosensors applied to the detection
of tumor biomarkers, discussing how promising characteristics and properties of these materials
were harnessed in the development of biosensors to provide a new contribution to future studies
and the development of applied MOFs to electrochemical biosensing.
Behind the Badge: Unraveling the Attitude of the Police towardsVigilante activities in Osun State, Nigeria.
Authors: Gidado Taofeek Oluwayomi , Yusuf Temitope Abeeb 
Published: February 2024

The Nigerian Police Force is the statutory body saddled with the protection of lives and property. Unfortunately, mistrust exists between the police and the citizens for perceived corruption and reported abuse of citizens' freedom. As a result, people resort to the use of vigilante for the protection of lives and property. The normalization of vigilante groups for crime prevention poses a challenge to the security architecture of the country and leads to a conclusion that ignores the attitude of the Police to the indiscriminate use of vigilante for crime prevention. Questionnaires were administered to police officers who have spent not less than five years of service in the Police Force. Police officers expressed disapproval for the activities of the vigilante and contend that the activities of the vigilante groups undermine their statutory responsibility to curb crime and protect the society.

De los agravios a las vindicaciones. Traducciones de Christine de Pizan y Mary Wollstonecraft
Authors: Godayol Pilar 
Published: February 2024

La teoría feminista cuenta con una tradición de siglos. Aunque, en general, la primera ola del feminismo se sitúa durante el movimiento sufragista, no debemos olvidar la lucha de algunas madres simbólicas precursoras por defender sus derechos literarios y ciudadanos. En 1405 la escritora francesa Christine de Pizan publica una obra pionera para la historia del feminismo: La Cité des Dames. Con ella, se inicia un memorial de agravios contra el patriarcado y unas precoces vindicaciones feministas, que no van a consolidarse hasta la Ilustración, con una de sus máximas representantes, la escritora inglesa Mary Wollstonecraft y su obra A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792). La Cité des Dames, de Pizan, y A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, de Wollstonecraft, constituyen dos referentes (proto)feministas que interpelaron al discurso dominante androcéntrico de la época vindicando la igualdad entre los sexos. Desde una aproximación historiográfica feminista de la traducción y en la línea metodológica de los enfoques que abogan por estudiar historias subalternas e invisibilizadas por los discursos patriarcales, este artículo se propone recuperar y contextualizar dos textos fundacionales de los feminismos de todos los tiempos, así como estudiar sus traducciones al castellano, catalán y gallego.

Authors: Salama Safira Zidna , Firdaus Maulidan , Suryanti Venty 
Published: February 2024

Cellulose ethers are biocompatible polymers which have attracted considerable attention for various applications due to their physical and mechanical properties. The present work aims to find the optimum condition for synthesizing cellulose ethers from banana blossom cellulose (BBC) such as methylcellulose (MC), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC). The ultrasonication-assisted method as an energy source is used to shorten the synthesis time at room temperature and obtain high yields. The influences of various parameters (NaOH concentration, etherification agents, and sonication time) were analyzed using a multivariate statistical modeling response surface methodology (RSM). The materials were characterized by FTIR, SEM, and TGA. The cellulose ethers obtained have the potential as food additives with DS values of 2.0, 0.7, and 0.86, respectively. MC was synthesized optimally with a yield of 96.52% using a composition of cellulose (0.4 g), 50% (w/v) NaOH (10 mL) and dichloromethane (6 mL). CMC was synthesized optimally with a yield of 98.26% using a composition of cellulose (0.4 g), 30% (w/v) NaOH (2 mL) and monochloroacetic acid (1 g). HPC was synthesized optimally with a yield of 97.51% using a composition of cellulose (0.4 g), 10% (w/v) NaOH (2 mL) and propylene oxide (1.5 mL).

Published: February 2024

Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is the most significant health problem in the world for adolescents. The purpose of the study is to test the role of family harmony, emotion-focused coping, and stressful life events in non-suicidal behaviour in adolescents. This research uses a quantitatively correlational design. Sample study: 304 students at State Vocational High Schools in West Java, consisting of boys and girls aged 13–19 years. For the technique of taking samples, this study uses cluster random sampling. The family harmony scale, the emotion-focused coping scale, the stressful life events, and the non-suicidal self-injury scale are the measuring tools used in this study. The data analysis technique used was multiple regression analysis. There was a significant role among harmony family, emotion-focused coping, and stressful life events in influencing non-suicidal self-injury behavior in adolescents (r = .47, R2 = .22, p < .05.). The contribution of harmonious families was effective at 14.38%, followed by stressful life events at 5.45% and emotion-focused coping at 2.51%. This study proves that the most potent predictor of non-suicidal self-injury behavior in adolescents is family harmony. The study is expected to increase the outlook on the importance of guarding harmony, family, and stability through education or training facilitated by school.
