Authors: Carvalho Jozélio Freire de , Ribeiro Maria Fernanda Leal dos Santos 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Background Homeopathy has been used in observational and controlled studies to treat patients with fibromyalgia (FM), but none has previously used the remedy Cannabis sativa.
Case History A 51-year-old female patient presenting with diffuse pain and sleep disorder was diagnosed with FM using the relevant American College of Rheumatology criteria. She reported having 18 tender points, a pain score (visual analog scale, VAS) of 9.0, and a well-being VAS of 5.0. She was prescribed Cannabis sativa 6 cH, five drops sublingually thrice a day.
Results After 2 months, she returned asymptomatic, with 0 tender points, pain VAS of 0, and well-being VAS of 9.0. The Modified Naranjo Criteria for Homeopathy score was equal to +9, suggesting the clinical outcome was causally attributable to the medicine prescribed.
Conclusion This case study reveals the positive role of homeopathic treatment in FM. Studies using a randomized controlled design, including pragmatic trials to determine treatment effectiveness in real-world clinical practice, are indicated in this field.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Background Peer teaching is a well-acknowledged method to facilitate teaching and learning among medical students. The objective of the study was to assess the merits and effectiveness of peer teaching in small groups using a student-centered approach through the employment of different learning media.
Methods This was a cross-sectional descriptive study conducted among a group of 34 students from third professional year. Purposive sampling was used, wherein students were subdivided into five small groups. At the beginning, a pretest consisting of 10 multiple-choice questions was conducted on the topic “Epidemiology of Hypertension.” This topic was further subdivided into five subtopics, and five separate learning media (viz., video, PowerPoint, white board, chalk-and-talk, and chart) were allocated using the lottery method. Each group discussed the allotted topic and then presented their findings in the large group using the assigned learning media, while other groups gave feedback, and the best group was decided through multivoting. Posttest was administered and the results were compared with the pretest. Data entry was done in Microsoft Excel and analysis was done using SPSS 16. Descriptive statistics and paired t-test was used to compare the results in pretest and posttest at p level < 0.05.
Results This innovative session of peer teaching featured 34 students, with a mean age of 22 ± 1.3 years. While carrying out the Kirkpatrick Level 1 evaluation, almost 90% students liked the role of the facilitator in stimulating interest in the topic. There was a mean average increase of 1.7 marks on comparing the scores of posttest with pretest (Kirkpatrick Level 2), and the reported difference was statistically significant. Joyful learning 24 (66.7%) and group discussion 23 (63.9%) emerged as the most liked aspects of the session.
Conclusion In conclusion, peer teaching through learning media is an effective method as it promotes active learning, improves communication skills, and improves the academic performance of students. Peer teaching using different learning media proved to be quite effective in improvement of knowledge about epidemiology of hypertension, the pros and cons of different learning media, and encouraged creativity among students.
Drinking down all unkindness
Authors: Párraga Javier Martín 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Wine references are so frequent in Shakespeare’s corpus that it is
easier to name the plays in which it does not appear than those in which
this drink is consumed (or referred to) in multiple occasions and contexts.
In Shakespeare’s plays, wine plays several roles. Unsurprisingly, wine
appears in most of the author’s corpus in socializing and celebration
contexts. More importantly, wine is also frequently used to characterize
characters from a moral perspective. The goal of this paper double. On the
one hand, I will analyze the tremendous importance wine had in British
literature. Secondly, I will have studied in depth the role and variety of
functions wine plays in the author’s whole corpus.
Medicine, wine, terminology and translation
(German-Spanish)
Authors: Sánchez Alba Montes 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This paper aims to study the terminology of the wine language in
the context of traditional medicine from a translational perspective. The
treatment of medical terminology, as well as its translation into Spanish,
involves exceptional difficulty due to the level of specialization of this
field. In doing so, the professional specialised in medical translation
works with a highly specialized language, composed of broad-ranging set of
technical terms. Subjected constantly to scientific updating, these terms
are conditioned by the influence of other languages, as their long-lived
Greco-Latin roots or the current English-speaking influence in health
science. Likewise, wine consumption has a deep-rooted relationship with
medicine, given its healing properties granted by traditional medicine
throughout history and which nowadays also includes scientific medicine.
Therefore, using research scientific documents, some aspects of the wine’s
lexicon are analysed in this article, with the principal objective of
proposing a translation from German to Spanish of the term and its context,
rethinking the relevance of its correct treatment.
The translation of cultural references of Spanish wines in English
websites
Authors: Moreno Paz María del Carmen 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The wine sector in Spain constitutes an important source of
income and depends largely on foreign trade. As it will be shown in the
following paper, cultural references are often used to render commercial
texts about wine more appealing, creating a certain image of Spain abroad.
Thus, an analysis of three texts from an English commercial website will be
carried out, in order to observe the translation procedures used to transfer
realia related to wine to approach Spanish wine culture
to a British English audience. This will eventually allow us to determine
the best translation procedures for cultural references in this type of
texts, which could in turn be useful for commercial texts produced in Spain
that need to be translated in English.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
The main objective of this work is to analyse interpretation
research skills in the wine sector from a pedagogical approach. Our
research demonstrates the importance of carefully planning an interpretation
assignment in advance. We focus on anticipating the working conditions,
duration, type of work, techniques, who the speaker is, facilities and
equipment for the interpretation event, etc. But we also highlight the
importance of using the appropriate resources. Bearing this in mind, in this
chapter, we provide a full range of resources and interpretation tools that
can be used when preparing an interpretation assignment which takes place in
the oenological sector. Thus, the last aim of this work is to serve as a
guide for those interpretation students or teachers who are willing to break
into wine culture.

We derive observational constraints on model parameters using the Hubble dataset with 31 data points and the Supernovae (SNe) dataset from the Pantheon samples compilation dataset with 1048 data points. For the current model, the evolution of the deceleration parameter, density parameter, EoS for DE, and Om(z) diagnostic have all been investigated. It has been shown that the deceleration parameter favors the current accelerated expansion phase. It has also been shown that the EoS parameter for DE has a quintessence nature at this time.
Mitigating loose rock fall and cavity formation in Adit-2 tunnel of Rammam III hydroelectric project in Himalayas, India: Challenges and Solutions.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
The turbulent geological history of “The Himalayas” arguably poses the most challenging ground conditions than anywhere in the world for underground excavations works. Cavity formation, loose fall, rock busting, high ingress of water and squeezing ground conditions are common phenomenon that encountered along tunnel profile in Himalayas. The Rammam III Hydroelectric Project, situated in Sikkim Himalayan belt lies in Main Crystalline Thrust zone (MCT) and is facing its fair share of Geological challenges during the underground excavation process.
The primary objective of the Rammam Stage-III Hydro Electric Project is to generate 120 MW power through 8.2 km of HRT (Head Race Tunnel).
Excavation of the Adit-2 to HRT has been challenging because of its proximity to the Jhepi Khola, a fault-incised stream. The tunnel’s progress was impeded by various obstructions of small and large magnitude caused by several sympathetic shears along joints and other geological complexities.
This paper will focus on the challenges faced in mitigating loose rock falls, cavity formation in Adit-2 from RD 312.0m to 320.0 m. To address the issue, an effective excavation philosophy known as DRESS (Drainage-Reinforcement-Excavation-Support-Solution) was adopted. The solution proposed is highly effective in addressing water-bearing issues in the Himalayas.
The treatment method adopted not only achieved the desired level of safety and smooth construction progress, but also provides a valuable reference for future similar cases of loose fall and cavity formations.
Deriving a p-y curve from lateral pile load tests – Case studies in alluvial OC clays
Authors: Arafianto Aflizal , Wijaya Martin 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Estimating lateral pile capacity is one of the most typical works for geotechnical engineers. Although it has been a routine calculation, obtaining reliable results is still challenging, especially when the ground condition is unfamiliar. Fortunately, the lateral pile capacity prediction can be performed by deriving a p-y curve from the load-deformation curve measured during pile testing. In cases where a preliminary test pile exists, fortunately, the p-y curve can be generated easily using a subgrade reaction approach suggested by Davisson and Gill (1963). Two lateral pile load test results were used to show the prospect of this method for practical applications. The field tests were on driven and bored piles with different diameters and lengths embedded in alluvial OC clays at two different sites in Jakarta, Indonesia, where both piles were categorised as long piles. Derivation of p-y curves was performed with a simple spreadsheet. Then, the obtained p-y response was used to estimate the load-deformation curve. Results showed that the back-calculated curve agree well with the measured data. This outcome might be because the p-y curves were directly derived from the field test where the pile experienced in-situ stress, resulting in a more representative of the actual condition.

Abstract
Geotechnical engineers practice a variety of in-situ investigation techniques to comprehensively characterize peat soil properties. Peat soil is a challenging soil characterized by its high water content, organic content, and low strength, making its geotechnical properties difficult to assess accurately. High water saturation and the presence of fresh fibres in peat also risk sample disturbance in collecting undisturbed peat soil samples which causes underestimation. An In-situ test known as the Cone penetration test with pore pressure measurement (CPTu) was investigated to measure the cone resistance (qc), sleeve friction (fs), and pore water pressure (u2) at various depths. In parallel, multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) was employed to determine the shear wave velocity (Vs) profile of the peat soil. The findings revealed that CPTu and MASW data were able to delineate the soil stratigraphy and estimate the peat thickness. However, the presence of fresh fibres in peat causes overestimation of the qc and fs values, causing difficulties in accurately determining the peat strength. Overall, the combination of CPTu and MASW data offered a comprehensive understanding of the peat’s geotechnical and dynamic characteristics. The findings have significant implications for engineering practices and ultimately contribute to safer and more resilient construction projects in challenging peat soil environments.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Peat soils are considered problematic soils and unstable for engineering projects due to geotechnical problems such as high compressibility and poor shear strength. Peatland could be an alternative to future development due to a lack of suitable and pricey land. Stabilization of the peat soil should be done before construction to improve its engineering features. The influence of curing time on the compressive strength performance of Coconut Shell Charcoal Ash (CSCA) with fly ash to stabilized peat is presented in this research. Some engineering variables including physical and mechanical properties were examined. The modified stabilized peat soils were made by adding various amounts of CSCA to the dry weight of the peat soil, ranging from 3%, 6%, 9%, and 12%, while fly ash constant 10%. The treated samples were cured for 0, 7, 14, and 28 days to see how curing affected the results. The results show that when the amount of CSCA with fly ash applied to the peat soil samples increased, the compressive strength also increased. On the other hand, showed that as the amount of CSCA with a constant fly ash content and the curing duration increased, so did the unconfined compressive strength test. The result shows that the addition of CSCA with fly ash into the mixture helps to stabilize and improve the strength of the soil.

Authors: Untari  , Parjono  
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Yahukimo Regency is one of the districts in Papua Island which has high food insecurity. The staple food of the local community is generally tubers. However, changing consumption patterns from tubers to rice is one of the challenges and problems for local governments to ensure the sustainability and safety of food ingredients. The purpose of this study was to determine the chemical and physical quality of the soil in the area of food crop cultivation development, as well as engineering recommendations for the development of rice cultivation technology based on the results of soil quality analysis in the study area. The research was conducted in Dekai District, Yahukimo Regency using a descriptive qualitative research approach using an experimental method. Analysis of the physical and chemical properties of the soil was carried out at the Bogor ICBB Laboratory. The results showed that the organic C content in the soil was included in class S1, meaning it was suitable for rice cultivation. However, the level of acidity and indications of levels of Copper (Cu), Iron (Fe), and Zinc (Zn) are very high. While the results of nutrient analysis available on the parameters Total N, P2O5 and K2O are all included in class S1, meaning that the nutrients available in the soil are suitable for the development of lowland rice cultivation. For this reason, it is suggested that technological engineering be carried out, namely with a soil washing system on agricultural land, applying dolomite lime, using organic fertilizers, and selecting varieties that have a level of adaptation and tolerance to high acidity. What is novel in this study is the chemical and physical properties of the soil which can be further identified as an effort to determine the potential for new natural resources in the research area.
The potential application of photocatalytic processes in the processing of wastewater in the leather industry: A Review
Authors: Yusuf Mega Ayu , Agustina Lya 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The leather industry is an industry that is not environmentally friendly. This is due to the large amount of solid and liquid waste produced. In every processing of 1 ton of raw skin into leather it takes about 50-150 liters of water and about 300 kg of chemicals. The chemicals commonly used in the production process are chromium, sulfate, sodium sulfate, lime, ammonium sulfate, sodium chloride, sulfuric acid, formaldehyde, pigments, dyes, and antifungal agents. These chemicals make the intensity of the poison produced per unit of output high. In Indonesia, chromium is a tanning agent that is widely used because it is cheap, the tanning process is fast, and it produces stable leather. Disposing of leather tannery wastewater directly without prior treatment can cause serious environmental problems due to the high content of COD, BOD, chromium and dyes. Leather industry wastewater contains around 500-1000 ppm chromium (VI). Several efforts to treat Cr(VI) waste that have been carried out, such as chemical reduction, ion exchange, adsorption with coal or activated carbon and reduction with the help of bacteria have weaknesses, namely the need for very high energy and/or very large amounts of chemicals. This weakness makes the photocatalytic method more prospective and superior for application. This paper was created to briefly review the environmental risks posed by the leather tanning industry, especially Cr(VI) waste, as well as the potential for the application of a photocatalytic process to remove these pollutant parameters.

Abstract
One of the efforts to increase soybean production is to increase the planted area under tree stands by paying attention to shade tolerant varieties. The experiment was carried out in Grobogan, Central Java in October-December 2019. The study was done using Factorial Completely Randomized Block Design. The first factor was teak shading i.e. under teak stands aged 1-2 years, teak aged 3-4 years and teak aged ≥ 5 years and the second factor was soybean varieties i.e. Dena 1 and Anjasmoro. Data were analyzed by analysis of variance. The results of statistical analysis showed that the shade of teak trees had a significant effect on the number of productive branches at the age of 8 weeks after planting. Soybean plants under the shade of teak aged 1-2 years formed the highest root nodules and were significantly different from those planted under the shade of teak aged 3-4 years and shaded teak aged 5 years. The Anjasmoro variety planted under the shade of 1-2 years old teak produced the highest number of pods of 64 pods/plant. The lowest number of pods was indicated by the Dena 1 variety planted under teak stands aged 5 years (12 pods/plant).
